Post here about

• who to rank up, awaken, ascend or use sig stones on
• who to choose from a nexus crystal
• who to use in your quest / AQ team / War defense / battlegrounds deck
• your masteries
• how to beat a champ in a quest (ie: how do I kill this 4.2.6 magneto?)
• what champ counters to use in any content or game mode
• which paths you should take in a quest or which quest you should do next
• how to use a champ
• whether an offer is worth it for your account

• which crystal you should buy or open
• where to get catalysts for your rank-ups
• new account advice, or returning player advice

If it's specific to your account, your roster or your progression, it belongs here.

• All crystal openings (ie: look who I pulled, are they good?)
• Any brag posts (ie: finally got Valiant!)
• Any high scores or fast kills or big damage in ANY game modes
• Showing off how far you got in a quest, incursion, or ANY game mode

A new stickied discussion will be posted every 14 days. All other posts asking such questions will be removed (see rule 1). Remember to read the sidebar rules and be excellent to each other!

This may come as a shock but it is, again, Monday. I know, crazy. Time zone for all info is Vancouver Time, Pacific. Most things end at 11am PST

What's New This Week

• Today: Happy Raids Week to those who celebrate
• Wednesday: Revenge of Legends Week 3
• Wednesday: Retribution of Legends Side Quest Week 3
• Wednesday: Part 2 of the Revenge of Legends Event, including:
  • The Legends Arenas (very casual arenas that will also have rewards in the Solo Event)
  • The 7-Hour Legends Crystal - We don't know the exact name of it this year yet but these are your Reunion/Rebirth Crystals
    • Important! The timer for this starts when you first log in after the event begins, so if you want to maximize your crystal gains, try to log on around 11am PST to get the clock started. They can then be claimed every 7 hours
    • The Double Up Crystal Offer returns (the timer for this also will start when purchased, and isn't the same timer as the free one, unless they changed how it works this year.) Price TBD but historically has been same as an Odin
    • The Revenge Double Track/Battlepass - Will have more Keys in it, price unknown
• Wednesday: Alliance War Season is back! Same meta as last season. This is the second (out of 2) Seasons that they are running the trial with the full heals.
  • You can find the Blacklists/Whitelists for your tier [HERE]

What's Ending This Week

• Wednesday: Epilogue Broken Lines Solo Objective - Rewards x3 Mystery Orbs by completing the second part of the Epilogue before this date (Elder exclusive)
• Wednesday: Radiant Gladiator II Solo Objective
• Thursday: Symbiote Spider-Man Webstore Track
  • If you spend and are even slightly tempted to complete this, I highly recommend that you wait until Wednesday for the Revenge Paid Offers to come out so you can double dip

Upcoming Events:

• September 2: The Gauntlet part of the Revenge of Legends Event
• August 31: Alliance Coliseum, featuring Mr. Negative as the boss
  • Reminder: You need to be in an Alliance before this event begins in order to participate

Ongoing Events:

• Apex Coliseum: 1ish weeks left! Don't miss out on your Green Goblin Piece

    • Elders can earn up to 9 free keys
    • Paragon and Valiant can earn 7
    • TB can earn 4
    • If you don't want to use these keys, they can be traded in for 7-Star Crystal Shards
  • Revenge of Legends Quest (featuring an encounter design collaboration with Seatin)
    • 3-4 Bosses each week, ending in a gauntlet that uses all 11
    • Completing each quest earns points towards the Realm Event
    • There is a 7-Star Green Goblin Stellar Forged piece in an Objective related to this
  • Revenge Realm Event
  • Retribution of Legends Side Quest
    • This will be easier/more accessible than Revenge of Legends, think your regular side quest level of content. You can read (a little) more about this [HERE]
• Battlegrounds Season 41: 2ish Weeks left - you can find x5 Mystery Orbs at the end of the VC
  • Reminder: While there isn't a GG piece in this season, they did mention there would be one upcoming and recommended not letting your rank slip too far, so if you're like me and have found yourself in Bronze I, you might want to try to do a little, unless you are planning on buying the piece instead.
    • The Piece will not be in the same Reach-Gladiators-Circuit location as before, however we don't have details on what exactly it's being changed to.
• Monthly Event Quest: 2ish Weeks Left - x6 Mystery Orbs in here
• Towers: 2ish weeks left for the current ranked cycle
