PATCH
Patrol Event Timers Doubled
07 May 2026
All timed open-world events in Industry City Patrol (ICP) and Hightown Patrol (CHP) now run on doubled time limits. This covers the full lineup: ICP Loki and Taskmaster pre-events, Sympathy for the Symbiote (Venomification), Cult of the Eye, Sinister Six, Doop, Savage Exports — and in Hightown the five 300-kill incursions plus the named-Skrull boss events. Designed to make these events comfortably solo-able. Events that finish before the timer expires still advance to the next phase normally — extra time is a safety net, never a penalty. Effective at the next daily restart.
PATCH
Weekly Commendation Cap — 250 → 500
07 May 2026
The Genosha weekly mission now awards up to 500 Hero Commendations and 500 Protector Commendations per week (previously 250 each). Effective at the next daily restart.
PATCH
Class Balance — Bottom Tier Hero Buffs
04 May 2026
Note: these buffs only take effect at level cap (60). Leveling experience stays vanilla — buffs engage once you hit 60. A first round of class balance changes is now live. The following heroes have been buffed: Ant-Man · Black Widow · Cable · Captain America · Cyclops · Daredevil · Gambit · Green Goblin · Hulk · Invisible Woman · Iron Man · Jean Grey · Nick Fury · Silver Surfer · Ultron · War Machine This is a first pass — values will be adjusted over time, and additional heroes will be looked at if needed. If you've been struggling with one of these heroes, give them another try. If a hero outside the list still feels weak, let us know in Discord.
PATCH
Age of Ultron Balance — Tuned for Solo & Duo
03 May 2026
Full Age of Ultron challenge retune at the daily restart (81 LiveTuning entries): • UltronEMP: 300% HP (3× charge pool to halve drone-induced drain) • Final Ultron boss (and NPE Ultron boss): 30% HP / 50% damage • 5 Iron Legionnaires (Blaster / Melter / Jackhammer / Scrapper / Launcher × Base + SpawnIn + Terminal): 50% HP / 50% damage • AoU UltronDrones (Base + SpawnIn + FlyIn): 50% / 50% • EMP-targeter drones (InnocentTargeter): 50% HP / 30% damage (extra cut so they drain EMP slower) • Turrets / radiation / gang punks / muggers: 50% / 50% Tuned for solo and duo on Heroic — designed so a well-geared player or pair can clear it without needing a full group. Well keep iterating: dial down further if its still too tanky for solo, or nudge up if duos are flying through it.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Leaderboards Enabled
03 May 2026
Player leaderboards are live across 26 categories. Active scoring started at the daily restart; first leaderboard online is AvatarLevelSummary. Standings auto-save every 10 minutes. Look for the leaderboard UI in-game once you've logged in post-restart.
PATCH
Limbo (TierX Endgame) HP Reduced to 70%
02 May 2026
All 35 boss/mob HP entries in Limbo dropped to 70% of vanilla. Hot-reloaded mid-day after no full clears were observed in 5 days of logs and group attempts hit phase-timer / final-phase walls. May iterate further or pair with phase-timer extensions if still too tight.
PATCH
Axis Raid +10% HP Buff
02 May 2026
Axis (Onslaught) Raid HP nudged up at the daily restart: • Onslaught: 1.1% HP • Sentinels (Boss A/B + bases/encs): 0.55% HP • PsychicShield: 0.55% • SpikeDance + Nullifiers: 55% HP • Sentinel powers: 20% damage • NullifierDoTOnShield (pylon→shield): 25% Note: PlatformMarkers stay vanilla — tuning them breaks the shield phase at 17%. Don't touch.
PATCH
Surtur Raid +10% HP Buff
02 May 2026
Surtur Raid bosses + trash HP raised from 8% → 8.8% at the daily restart. MeteorStrike still 5% damage. Weaken auras still disabled. Slightly more challenging on the boss DPS check, otherwise unchanged.
PATCH

02 May 2026

Civil War Event Live — Pick a Side
30 Apr 2026
The Civil War Event is now live and runs continuously. Pick a side and earn influence to level new vendors near the Avengers Tower STASH for fan-favorite artifacts. Two new NPCs replace Cloak and Dagger: Captain America Liaison (Anti-Registration) and Iron Man Liaison (Pro-Registration). To choose your side, buy a faction item from the Cash Shop — Torn Up Registration Act (Anti-Registration) or Registration ID Card (Pro-Registration), 20G each. Both grant a 1-week faction buff. You can switch sides anytime by buying the other. While under your faction buff, enemies drop Influence Tokens — hand them to your liaison to level the vendor. Max rank unlocks two powerful artifacts. Seals of Conflict drop universally from event-eligible bosses and serve as the vendor currency.
PATCH
Civil War Items Restricted to Faction Vendors
30 Apr 2026
Disabled Civil War item drops at OFTH / Beast / HFH / WoK / Summer event terminals (20 entries) and at Clea (2 entries). Civil War items now drop only via faction vendors and event-eligible bosses while your faction buff is active. Cleaner vendor flow, fewer side-loot conflicts.
PATCH

30 Apr 2026
Two new MTX SKUs added for the Civil War event: • "Torn Up Registration Act" (Anti-Reg, Captain America side) — 20G • "Registration I.D. Card" (Pro-Reg, Iron Man side) — 20G Both grant a 1-week faction buff and are giftable. Switch sides anytime by buying the other.
PATCH
