New Avengers

New Features, Updates, and More

Battle Pass

Mojo's Mayhem fades to black and a revamped method to earn rewards will soon go live: Battle Pass! Hit daily and weekly objectives that pay out big rewards just by playing the PvP-based game modes of Cosmic Crucible, Alliance War, Arena, Real-Time Arena, and Blitz.

Raid Auto-Launcher

Set it and let it ride: You'll soon be able to schedule Raids to launch at a specific time each day. To schedule a Raid, Alliance Leaders can go to the Raids menu, open the new launcher pop up, toggle the launcher on, and then set your time for each specific Raid type.

J.A.R.V.I.S.

Need help deciding which team to use or how to upgrade a character? You can now receive suggestions for Iso-8 Classes, T4 Ability Materials, and which teams to use in certain missions. Tap the "Recommended" button when you see it in-game for a team composition catered to a mission or a suggestion for Iso-8 and T4 Ability Materials. Want more recommendations? Tap "View More" within a suggestion pop-up to head to the web for more options and details.

War Replay Button Update

Alliance War Replays will no longer be available for enemy battles. This decision was made following MSF Player Council feedback with the intent of making Alliance strategies and counters tougher to crack.
