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!

He’s a villain and not part of the X-Men or X-Force teams.

So he is metal but no robot, mutant but no X-men nor xforce... nice tag!

Some pretty big names left out of this event:
Angela (Guardian?)
Blade (Merc?)
Voodoo
Corvus
Ghost
Ghostrider
Guilly
Hela
Hood
Hype
Killmonger (Merc?)
Kingpin
Korg
Medusa
Morningstar
Punisher
Quake
Red Hulk
Void
Wasp

For me, this means 7 out of my top 11 champs are left on the bench. Will be using a bunch of 4/40, 3/45, and 5/50 champs for this one...

I must say, I'm quite curious as to what the difficulty will be for these quests. While I'm not against champion requirements and think they're a good idea, first glance has me a little disheartened about this one.

It's kind of a bummer that kabam seems to be purposely force benching certain champs. Yes I know there are going to be those 'if you cant clear content without x champ youre no good' etc etc.. But, these arguments go both ways. Everyone who doesn't have x champ complains about not having one, and if they got one, would instantly put resources into them. So for those players who do have certain champions and have put resources into them, to have them forcibly benched for new content is a bummer. I didn't sink 4 t5 basic into Dr voodoo and Killmonger so they could benchwarm when new events come out.

Another issue I have with this is how little warning there is before learning we need certain champs. Sure, I realize not all requirements are in week 1 but with how long it takes to amass the resources (gold, iso, catalysts) to get champs to a usable level (again this might depend on the difficulty of the quests) is frustrating. Especially when after this event, a lot of new rank ups are probably just gonna sit on the bench again anyways.

I don't want too sound too negative here, and who knows maybe when the event comes out it will be a fairly easy event and I'll be eating my words. Just my initial thoughts.

^^^ Agreed. Forced roster changes from month to month require a level of flexibility in the game that the players simply do not have.

Get good with more champs. I love this type.of content that forces players outside their comfort zones

I agree this challenge sounds fun. I like the concept of using a variety of champions and not just face roll the content.

Dexman1349

I do agree learning to use more champs can be fun. However, due to limited resources we have to become "extra good" because these lesser-used champs are also lower ranks. There simply is not enough resources to rank enough 5* champs to handle this level of diversity.

I don't disagree; I just prefer it when this is limited to certain star levels. Difficult content, but doable if you didn't sell all your 2 and 3*. Epic though it's intended to be tougher content. You can do it with 5/50s but that guy who had a Sparky and Domino at 5r5 will have an easier time than the Blade and Corvus guy. It's just seems less fair. Class or star lvl just seems fairer.

I need to stock up on popcorn for all the forum posts over the next week.

Can we get an idea on energy costs?

Is it just one champ of the tag required on the team or enitre team should have the tag? E.g. in week 1 whole team should be of GoG and Avengers or only captain America + any other random 4 champ from my roaster will work?

Not clear to me.

Week 3 my 5/65 venom the duck is gonna wreck it 😂🤷‍♂️

Edit: I guess my 5/65 starky will also be good for it.

“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

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 know I was actually thinking about this comment and can’t the same be said about the Avengers since he was the one who assembled the team? Why would he need intel on the Avengers since he already knows everything he needs to know about them?

Ultimatesaber32

if you become uncollected during the event will the grandmaster crystals option open up?

This forces me to level up a few guys......really didnt want to break into my gold reserve that I've been saving up to get my 5* Corvus and GP to rank 4....

No chance I can do Master difficulty all 4 weeks either.

He assembled them, but he didn't control them. In the MCU, Fury was actually gathering intel on potential Avengers like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.

The fact that he thought he knew enough about SHIELD itself is basically the plot point of The Winter Soldier.

@Kabam Miike hi boss, any clarification on whether we are supposed to see and claim the first intel calendar reward today?

I've updated my game and restarted. Android, Smasung Note 9 and I got the new loading screens, announcement, etc but no intel calendar

MaatMan

I personally love the idea of champ requirements.

It bot only give reason to use more than you top champs,
It allows those without the god tier to compete evenly and maybe gain an edge over those who rely on corvus crutch.

Obviously i love week 1 as i have soon to be 5/65 CAIW.

Got 4/55 AA , Magik and 3/45 rogue and iceman for week 2

Week 3 will be tougher
I have none above 4/40 or 2/35.
May need to rank my venom and gg and spidey

Week 4 is a chance for my 4/55 elektra to shine. Maybe need to make another rank up or two so she can have some help

I think more of these events should happen

Why is there an IP in week 3?

A quick question
Is Iron Patriot part of week 3? Just checked and he has Sinister six tag but doesn't show up in the list posted by @Kabam Miike

He is! He's on the list. Hiding with his other Sinister Six friends.
