Gather Intel in Nick Fury's Recon Initiatives

Begin Transmission…

Summoners!

The Battlerealm is full of countless Allies and Enemies, and Nick Fury wants to know everything about all of them! Join him in a month long Event to gather Intel on the Champions of the Battlerealm!

Assist Nick Fury in gathering Intel, and trade that Intel for rewards such as Catalyst Fragments, Crystal Shards, and Hero Crystals! Assist him in all of his recon missions, and you’ll have enough Intel to trade for a 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal!

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it…

Over the next 4 weeks, we will introduce 1 Quest per week with 5 different Difficulty Levels. Each of these Quests is only 2 paths, with a buffed up Boss at the end!

Easy right? Here’s where it gets interesting… Each of these Quests feature Champion Requirements, and each week your team will be limited to which Champions that you can bring in!

Champions will be limited based on their Universe Tags (which can be found on a Champion’s info page). This means each weekly Quest can only be completed with Champions of that Tag.

Week 1: Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy
Week 2: X-Men and X-Force
Week 3: Spider-verse Heroes, Sinister Six, and Symbiote
Week 4: Mercenaries and Robots

All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event, so you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

You'll need to complete harder difficulties to get more rewards, so make sure the Champions on your roster with those Tags are ready for a Challenge! We'll also be sending out another message each week outlining which Champions fall under said Tags.

For those of you that may need to expand your roster, special Crystals containing Champions that can enter these Quests will be available each week of the Event. Yes, that includes unreleased 2 Star Version of some of these Champions! This doesn’t include Champions who are not in the base pool, such as Deadpool, Goldpool, Havok, Ultron (Classic), Vision, or special rarity exclusives such as 4-Star Rhino or Cyclops, 5-Star Gamora or Thor.

If you’ve become Uncollected, a Grandmaster version of these Crystals will also be available. Make sure you check out the crystal descriptions to see exactly which Champions are included in these Crystals.

Knowledge is Power!

The task is great, but the rewards are greater! Use your Intel in the Store to purchase rewards to assist you in your own missions across The Contest!

You’ll find items such as Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments, 5-Star and 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards, Awakening Gem Crystals, 4-Star Hero Crystals, and much more!

While Intel will mostly only be available in Nick Fury’s Recon Initiatives, there will also be a Special Calendar that will award you a small amount for logging in every day! But don’t miss a single day, because if you do, you’ll be reset to Day 1!

Each of these items have purchase limits. Some, you’ll be able to purchase up to 20 times, while others you’ll only be able to purchase once.

For those that want to chase the 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal, you’ll need to complete every Difficulty of the event, and log in every day to claim your daily Intel from the Calendar! The Crystal costs 5000 Intel, and it’s only possible to get 5740 Intel from normal play.

This Message Will Self Destruct…

Nick Fury's Recon Initiative begins March 6, 10:00 AM PST. With a new Chapter releasing each Wednesday after that. All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event on April 3, 10:00 AM PDT. So you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

End Transmission.

EDIT: If you're curious as the list of Champions that you can use, check out this list here. But keep in mind, the Crystals will not contain all of these Champions. Make sure you check out the list of Champions in the Crystal before you purchase it!

I really wish my 6* Yondu had the GotG tag.

@Kabam Miike just want to ask will these requirements be the same for lower players on the lower difficulty’s many of them wouldn’t have large rosters

DrZola

“Classic” CM...

...doesn’t fall under Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, nor is she X-Men and X-Force, nor Spider-verse Heroes, Sinister Six, and Symbiote, nor Mercenaries and Robots.

Should I file this under the heading of “Significant Oversight”?

Dr. Zola

Because she is none of those things.
Right. She’s just a supporting character in the Nick Fury movie coming out this month. Got it.

Dr. Zola
Your point? It’s not her event.

I’m confident my point is abundantly clear.

If it’s a Nick event alone, then perhaps you’d like to elucidate why S.H.I.E.L.D. hashtag champs aren’t included?

Dr. Zola

Any chance y’all can drop in a gold event or special offer to help us ready our intel-gathering champs?

IsItthough

Can anyone make a list of the Champions that won't be used at all during this event? I like new content, but if this is the direction Act 6 is going to take it may be just what I needed to get a life back. I didn't mind the class restrictions. But knowingly cutting out 5 of the top 7 champs in the game is just so you Kabam. Honestly, I would say if the difficulty of this epic is on par with that of chapter 2 Marvel quest then I will consider this a poorly executed money grab. Till I see the oaths themselves I will only consider this the ground work for setting up Act 6 and removing 75% of peoples top champs.

Dr. Zola, it’s literally called “NICK FURY’S RECON INITIATIVE.” It’s not a Captain Marvel event, it’s a Nick Fury event

Can we get a list of characters with those tags? Would be nice to be provided with a comprehensive list of characters and tags most games provide that stuff for their players and I'm sure theres a spreadsheet that its kept on.

Thanks!

Nick Fury doesn't need intel on his own Team. He knows everything he needs to know about each and every person in SHIELD.

You'll get the Champions of the week every week in a Message, but we've also posted one here and edited the first post in this Thread to link to it. You can find it here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/756183/#Comment_756183

Thank you! That’s actually an explanation I can live with! Now, how about CM? You couldn’t at least throw the old girl a lifeline?

Man I hate this company. You make a requirement of Robots and Mercenary for the most difficult mission. What's the point of pulling good champs these days if we can't even use them?

What makes you think that will be the most difficult? In the Gwenpool event, there was little difficulty increase by week, if any.

ThatGrootGroot

Does the new avengers tag qualify for avengers?

I wish. I have 5* Hype at r4.

The war on Blade continues. He can't be used for this event. Corvus either. This is what will happen in Act 6 too I suspect
Funny because you can still use these champs in story, EQ, AW, AQ, arena, etc. it’s just one side quest. How dare they provide a challenge you can’t steamroll with the same champs.
Thanks for your unnecessarily rude and snarky response sunshine It just seems to be a lazy way to get around designing content. But enjoy.

If it's that big of a problem for you, don't do the content.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to this event. And some of u guys complain about everything

Agreed I'm excited to see people who claim how good they are without their blades and corvus.
Hope this is on par with variant personally love the challenges and limits

but i also have domino, lol

ThatGrootGroot

So let’s say you had bad RNG when it comes to Spider verse champs and you have none. Does that mean you can’t even participate in that week. Fun and interactive Kabam at its best.

What about the people who don't have the RNG luck to pull a Corvus? Also, they say in the release that there are ways to get the champs.

"For those of you that may need to expand your roster, special Crystals containing Champions that can enter these Quests will be available each week of the Event. Yes, that includes unreleased 2 Star Version of some of these Champions!"

allinashes

Ugh there's gonna be some rough weeks here. If this is not too much more difficult than Uncollected should be workable with 4*, I hope.

I don't think I'm going for that AG...I got 4 techs right now and I'm not grinding for a month for a chance at numero cinco. I'll take some t5b and maybe t2a and call this one done.

Won't they also be filtered out when selecting your quest team so you only see available the champs you can use? Or we'll have to check the list every time we need to select a team?

Yes! They will be filtered, but wanted to let you all know what they are in advance as well.

A children of Thanos chapter and tag wouldn't hurt though lol. We'd need more in game 1st

Lpirnie5321

It’s pretty simple. We will be using champs that we mostly reserve for arena fodder, for the most part. I always read comments from the majority of the higher skilled players (not all) saying to “get gud”, maybe it’s time to quit **** and follow your own advice on the matter. For the higher skilled players who actually give advice and help the lower level players and all the other average players like myself, enjoy the challenge and have fun.
