Witness the Great Revival! Act 6 Chapter 1 - Coming March 13th

BORN AGAIN
Carina has awoken. For ages she’s been trapped in her crystal prison, but with the support of Ægon, The Collector finally has his daughter back, but she’s not interested in standing still. Keen to find her place in The Battlerealm, Carina begins to understand her power and explore the fringes of the unknown, but Carina’s rebirth has reminded the Elders that the scars of their past have yet to fully heal. Taneleer Tivan and En Dwi Gast must jockey for Carina’s attention as they both attempt to mold her into the Elder they think she ought to be. Unfortunately for the both of them, Carina is as rebellious as she is powerful, and her defiant nature might just prove too much for the old Elders to handle…

Join Carina, Ægon, The Collector, and The Grandmaster when the final episode in the Elder Saga begins in ACT 6: REBIRTH!

RELEASE + LEGENDS
Act 6 Chapter 1: Great Revival releases on MARCH 13TH for all who have completed Act 5: ELDER’S WAR to enjoy.

Alongside this release, we’re happy to announce a Legends Run for Chapter 1! This Legends run will begin the moment you start Act 6 Chapter 1, and end the moment you 100% explore all Quests in the Chapter. You’ll have until April 13th at 10:00:00 AM PDT to log a time. The rewards for the Legends run of Act 6 Chapter 1 are:

Rank 1-5
10x Tier 5 Class Catalyst Fragment Crystals (2% each of a random Tier 5 Class Catalyst)
22,500x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments
2x Tier 2 Alpha Catalysts

Rank 6-100
5x Tier 5 Class Catalyst Fragment Crystals (2% each of a random Tier 5 Class Catalyst)
11,250x Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments
1x Tier 2 Alpha Catalysts

In a new turn of events, we’ll also be featuring a Legends Run for all Chapters of Act 6, and a special Act Legends Reward throughout the release of Act 6! The top times for each Chapter’s Legends will be collected, and awarded with a new 6-Star Champion never before owned by any Summoner!

In order to win the Act Legends Reward, you’ll need to place in the top times of each Chapter, as follows:

Chapter 1 - Top 20 Times
Chapter 2 - Top 40 Times
Chapter 3 - Top 60 Times
Chapter 4 - Top 100 Times

If you happen to qualify for all 4 Chapters, you’ll receive the Champion 4 times, meaning you can Awaken them this way! We will have more to reveal about each Chapter’s and the Act Legends rewards in the future, but that’s all we have for you for now.

CHAMPION REQUIREMENTS
Act 6 is some of the most challenging content to date, and the perils within require only the strongest Champions of The Contest. Chapter 1 will contain CHAMPION REQUIREMENTS that will restrict the Champions you use to ONLY 5 and 6-Star Champions.

BUFFS
There are 7 new buffs making an appearance in Act 6 Chapter 1. Each Quest features one or more of these Buffs as Global effects, so you’ll need to bring your best. See below for each Buff and a little description of our intentions with it.

NO RETREAT! - When the Attacker dashes back, they gain Degen Timer for 1.2 seconds. Dashing back again while the Degen Timer is active causes a Passive Degen, dealing 200% of the Defender's Attack as direct damage over 6 seconds.
This Buff is meant to impose the mentality of its title: Do not retreat. While other similar Buffs like Caltrops can be easily countered with an Immunity, No Retreat requires careful planning and execution on playstyle to overcome. No Retreat was designed to be possible - but challenging - to avoid.

Special Delivery - The Attacker begins the fight with 15 Combo charges. Each landed basic attack decreases the Combo charges by 1, and launching a Special Attack will reset the charges. If all charges are removed, they are reset, and the Attacker suffers a Passive Degen equal to 100% of the Defender's Attack Rating over 4 seconds.
Similar to fighting Thor Ragnarok, this Buff will require you to make sure you have a Special Attack at the ready, but there are sure to be challenges to that strategy strewn throughout…

Combo Party - For every 10 hits of the Combo Meter, the Attacker gains a permanent Cruelty Buff, granting +500 Crit Damage Rating. When struck, the Attacker loses all Cruelty Buffs if their combo meter is lost and takes 40% of the Defender's attack as direct damage for each Buff removed this way.
This buff is generally quite simple, and is intended to create a “ride the line” feeling - you want to get your combo count up, but losing it will cost you dearly.

Long Distance Relationship - While close to the Defender, the Attacker gains a Weakness Debuff every 3 seconds, reducing their attack by 10% permanently. Staying far away from the Defender causes these Weakness effects to fall off.
The goal here is to encourage you to find “openings” to deal as much damage as possible. Waste those openings, or just spend too long near the opponent, and you’ll need to back off in order to gain your damage back. If you’re pinned in a corner, you’ll want to use your abilities to create some space and start dealing damage again.

Close Encounters - While close to the Defender the Attacker Regenerates 1% of their Max Health every second. While far away from the Defender, the Attack Degenerates 3% of their Max Health every second.
Sort of the inverse of Long Distance Relationship, Close Encounters encourages you to stay as close to the Defender as possible, and being efficient as you bait specials or get out of the way of abilities that could cause trouble up close (like Mephisto or Omega Red).

Power Struggle - The Attacker cannot gain Power during the fight through normal means. Each time the Defender reaches a full bar of Power, the Attacker is granted one as well and whenever the Defender launches a Special Attack, the Attacker loses an equal amount of Power.
This one is all about a “use it or lose it” mentality - you’ll want to make sure you’re keeping an eye on your Opponent’s power and how it relates to your own. Characters who can control power using their specials, like Vision or Magik, will excel here.

Hurt Locker - Using the same type of Special Attack twice in a row gives the Attacker a Delayed Blast charge for 5 seconds which may be removed by landing a Heavy Attack. If the Blast expires, the Attacker takes 50% of their Health as direct damage.
This one is (as the name might suggest) focused on creating a “bomb defusal” moment while you play. If you make a mistake, you’ll have a small window to correct it before your mistake comes back to bite you. Rest assured there will be challenges that will threaten to trip you up…

PI RANGES
Keep in mind these are approximate - there is some variation around the values but in general, this is what you can expect:

Quest 1
Paths: ~22,500-28,000 PI
Boss: ~ 55,000 PI
Quest 2
Paths: ~23,000-30,500 PI
Boss: ~ 58,500 PI
Quest 3
Paths: ~23,500-30,500 PI
Boss: ~ 50,000 PI
Quest 4
Paths: ~23,500-35,500 PI
Boss: ~ 54,000 PI
Quest 5
Paths: ~27,000-31,000 PI
Boss: ~ 66,000 PI
Quest 6
Paths: ~28,000-39,000 PI
Boss: ~ 72,000 PI

ENERGY/PATHS
In general, quests in Chapter 1 have a consistent energy requirement the whole way through. On average, All quests in Chapter 1 will have:

3 Energy Per Step
~ 9-10 paths
~ 600 Energy for Quest Mastery

BECOME A CAVALIER
A new Act, a new Progression point! Summoners that complete Act 6 Chapter 1 will gain the new designation of “Cavalier”!

This designation is not as game changing as Uncollected, and is a step up similar in scope to becoming Contender, Proven or Conqueror.

Cavaliers will have access to a brand new Cavalier Crystal that guarantees at least a 3-Star Champion with a 38% chance at a 4-Star Champion, an 11% chance at a 5-Star Champions, and a rare 1% chance of a 6 Star Champion! These Crystals will be available for 200 units each.

Cavaliers will also have access to:

- A 25 Unit Discount on Grandmaster Crystals
- A new Cavalier Calendar in place of the Grandmaster Calendar that will grant a Grandmaster Crystal over 7 days, instead of 14
- An upgraded Daily Crystal that contains a rare chance of T5B Fragments, 5-Star Shards, or 6-Star Shards, and double the amount of - T2A Fragments, T4CC Fragments, and T4B Fragments!
- A slightly upgraded Free (4-hour) Crystal with more Gold!

This is the next step after becoming Uncollected, and we plan to continue to add more as the Story progresses!

@GroundedWisdom what keeps you up at night? Any gripes on the game?

The speed of the AI lol. Ask him about that. He’ll turn in to what he says he despises. He’ll go full on conspiracy theory

GroundedWisdom

@GroundedWisdom just from my side it seems reading your post your more of a peace keeper...reading back there’s never any harsh words, there’s gotta be something you don’t like...

I get it. I can understand that people are upset, and I can understand why. I guess my brain just works differently. When I saw it, I thought, "So we can't use 4*s. What are my best 5* options?". I don't have the same reaction to it I guess. I don't really dislike it, and I'm not fighting for it. I'm just on to the next solution.

FrankCYoung

Is there any in game rewards for posting a million times on the fourms? Like a posting legends title? I’m just curious...

FrankCYoung

@GroundedWisdom yeah, I understand...I just play the game and let the powers to be make the decisions, good, bad otherwise. If it gets to be to upsetting for me I’ll just start going outside again and communicating with the family, just another day in paradise 🙃

Hey Everybody,

We wanted to touch on the availability of 5-Star (and 6-Star) Champions. They have been and will continue to be a focus of the Content this year

Similar to Uncollected, reaching Cavalier is going to be major milestone for Summoners. After introducing Uncollected in Act 5 Ch 2, we rolled out content with rewards that helped Summoners reach that progress point, and from there have been adding content and rewards that have (and will) help Summoners reach Cavalier.

As part of the introduction of Act 6 and Cavalier, we will also be introducing more content that will help Summoners gain 5 and 6-Star Champions. Some of that content will include, Champion Challenges, several large meta-events and Event Quests as well as, the next iteration of Back Issues. Additionally, we are taking a look at Arenas to see if we can make 5-Star Champions more accessible.

In preparation to the release of Act 6 we have accelerated the rate at which players can gain 5-Star Shards and the materials to Rank them up. Love Is a Battlerealm, Nick Fury's Recon Initiatives, special events like the Road to Greatness Arena, and Monthly Calendars were designed with 5-Star escalation in mind.

Also, we are slowly adding older Characters as 5-Star Champions, while ensuring that overall game balance is factored into the Champion selection.

The requirements in Chapter 1 are set as a primer for rest of Act 6. Act 6 Chapter 2 and beyond will also have Champion Requirements, including some more stringent ones like paths that have Class Requirements for your entire team, and Rarity requirements where you must bring [X] amount of 5-Star or 6-Star Champions to complete the quest path.

Thank you all for your continued feedback!

So its now just a total RNG pay-to-play game ow. Awesome.

Tbh the ban isn’t a big deal. I don’t see anyone making noise about having to have wasted resources on their 3*s. 😂
The ban is a big deal. Especially for someone like me who managed to complete act 5 largely due to my GR(4*) + Blade synergy, my 4* Loki that wrecked Act 5 Ultron & 4* SL that swept through RoL.
4*s are still very viable for end game content as it stands.
Lol you won’t wanna bring 4*s into A6 really.. the only use for them there is synergy. And it sounds like your roster isn’t developed enough yet.

Have you completed, or explored, A5? It makes a lot of difference.
I 100% act 5 with just 4* I can guarantee I’d be able to use them for non synergy purposes
You’re a fresh Level 60 with 1 R5. A6 isn’t made for you.
Are you looking at the pi of the champs 30k is easy so why isn’t it made for me enlighten me
The fact that you’re complaining about it coupled with your account just says that you don’t have the roster depth for it.
The fact is I’d have the skill to do it but due to not having the 4* I’m lacking a lot of the niche counters that’s my point
Then wait for the champs. Tbh your account is underdeveloped even compared to both my secondary accounts, both of which also 100% A5 with 4*s.

In addition you’re not even in a competitive alliance (1.45k war rating). I don’t see why you cannot wait and develop your account more before even commenting on content that’s obviously not designed for you.

I could be in a higher ally if I wanted I’ve gotten offers from plat ally’s and “content that is not designed for you” I was accused of being a modder for doing act 5 100% so early so I’m pretty sure I’m ready for act 6 with nearly 2 r5s

GroundedWisdom

@GroundedWisdom what keeps you up at night? Any gripes on the game?
The speed of the AI lol. Ask him about that. He’ll turn in to what he says he despises. He’ll go full on conspiracy theory

That's not what we're discussing here, but I'm not the only one who has noticed the AI behaving differently.
No one said I was any different than anyone else here. I have things I don't agree with myself, just like anyone else.

So basically 12.0 all over again. All those champs you guys spent time, resources, and money on are now at best half as useful. Guess its our fault for not ranking up all the worthless champs.

@GroundedWisdom I'd just LOVE to see your 5* and 6* roster, since you're okay with this change.
He just became uncollected. His focus is arena. Anything concerning act 6 is irrelevant to him. He’s just the biggest Kabam apologist to ever grace the forum.
You do not speak for me, and you do not speak to what is and is not relevant to me. It's relevant to anyone that hasn't done it yet.
I haven't "just" become Uncollected. It's been a number of months now. Regardless, we're having a discussion about Act 6. Not me or what I have and have not done.
I make no apologies for anyone. I'm not representative of them to do so. I will however, interject with common sense regardless of whether people like to hear it or not. Otherwise this place just fills with emotional outbursts and no logic is here.

Cut the **** already, seriously. If you want “emotional outbursts and no logic” be countered with “common sense,” look no further than a number of your posts whining about the difficulty of monthly events. You are the one who throws emotional outbursts over a 16k Emma Frost, blaming your inability to take more than 10% of her health with a fleet of 4/55 attackers on the ai speed whereas decently skilled players managed to take out the said Emma with 4* champions. You are the one who chooses “to hear not” when so many forum members give you common sense suggestions in such situations. So, spare us your moralizing when you can’t even follow your own standards.

Besides, even if one accepts your claim of interjecting with common sense to prevent emotional outbursts, then it’s clear your attempts have been a miserable failure. And that’s not because of other forum members.

xNig

So, there’s literally never been any restriction on champs for story mode, and with a week notice, they remove 80-90% of rosters from participation? Even if you want to look at 5/50 and higher champs, for many players, more than half their eligible champs are gone.

There has been fierce gates in Act 1/2 iirc. Like some paths require you to have a Black widow or Thor in your team. Take a look at the Classic mode of Ultron’s Assult. It’s been there since the start of the game.

What an absolutely arrogant thing to say. You’ve made a fool of yourself through this whole thread and because of that fact, this is the sort of response you resort to. You really should apologise and then just move into something else. It’s embarrassing

Says the one who has not seen 6.1 yet. Lol. I’m the one giving you a reality check that your roster depth isn’t there yet.

Matter of fact is, A6 it’s permanent content and doesn’t have to be done NOW.

It’s not an EQ where you have a month to complete it and Kabam drops the bombshell only a week in advance.

As much as people say they have sunk resources into 4*s in preparation of A6, the fact that they are doing that, simply means their rosters’ depth for available champs to use in A6 isn’t up to par yet.

I’m F2P, have 5 R5s, 13 R4s, 6 6*s (3 are duped), 88 5*s and have stopped ranking 4*s since 5.4 was released (which I ran and gotten another Legends badge for).

No one is moralizing anyone. When the Thread is filling up with people saying it's all just to sell Crystals and 4*s are useless now, then yes. I will interject. Those aren't accurate.
When I brought up issues, people still intetjected there as well, regardless of who was right or wrong. It's an open Forum. If you present something, you need to be prepared for a rebuttal. That's how it works.
You can count the issues I've spoken out about on one hand, in 3 years. I'd say that's pretty composed.
Either way, I'm getting tired of this turning into some kind of character assassination, so I'm going back to the topic now. That's another thing I've had enough of, and in over 3 years, it never stops. Everyone needs a punching bag.

To stay on topic like you suggested... how can you say it wasn't about selling crystals? Kabam literally put out a memorandum about it in everyone's mailbox and they've been selling every top tier fgmc over the last 24-48hrs! This is def not something they do on a normal basis and if you login each day you'd see that yourself for like the last year or so lol. So in all seriousness, how are you 100% certain it is not about selling more fgmcs?
Just wondering...

I haven't "just" become Uncollected. It's been a number of months now. Regardless, we're having a discussion about Act 6. Not me or what I have and have not done.
I make no apologies for anyone. I'm not representative of them to do so. I will however, interject with common sense regardless of whether people like to hear it or not. Otherwise this place just fills with emotional outbursts and no logic is here.
Cut the **** already, seriously. If you want “emotional outbursts and no logic” be countered with “common sense,” look no further than a number of your posts whining about the difficulty of monthly events. You are the one who throws emotional outbursts over a 16k Emma Frost, blaming your inability to take more than 10% of her health with a fleet of 4/55 attackers on the ai speed whereas decently skilled players managed to take out the said Emma with 4* champions. You are the one who chooses “to hear not” when so many forum members give you common sense suggestions in such situations. So, spare us your moralizing when you can’t even follow your own standards.

Besides, even if one accepts your claim of interjecting with common sense to prevent emotional outbursts, then it’s clear your attempts have been a miserable failure. And that’s not because of other forum members.
No one is moralizing anyone. When the Thread is filling up with people saying it's all just to sell Crystals and 4*s are useless now, then yes. I will interject. Those aren't accurate.
When I brought up issues, people still intetjected there as well, regardless of who was right or wrong. It's an open Forum. If you present something, you need to be prepared for a rebuttal. That's how it works.
You can count the issues I've spoken out about on one hand, in 3 years. I'd say that's pretty composed.
Either way, I'm getting tired of this turning into some kind of character assassination, so I'm going back to the topic now. That's another thing I've had enough of, and in over 3 years, it never stops. Everyone needs a punching bag.
To stay on topic like you suggested... how can you say it wasn't about selling crystals? Kabam literally put out a memorandum about it in everyone's mailbox and they've been selling every top tier fgmc over the last 24-48hrs! This is def not something they do on a normal basis and if you login each day you'd see that yourself for like the last year or so lol. So in all seriousness, how are you 100% certain it is not about selling more fgmcs?
Just wondering...

2 reasons. First off, there is no logical reason at all that coincides with the roadblock in relation to money. That has been added on by people who aren't happy about the news, just like any other news that people aren't happy with. It never fails. They make an Announcement, people aren't happy about it, and we always see the same response. "Milk the whales. Greedy. Trying to make more money.". The decision wasn't based on financial gain. That doesn't coincide with their response, and it doesn't coincide with logic. The roadblock is because they want to create a gate that only allows people with a sufficient Roster to conplete it. That's to separate progress levels. That's it. Now, many people can say that's unfair and if that's how they're feeling, I won't dispute that. I can see how it feels unfair. However, if they're going to say, "The Quest will be released on a Thursday and most people get paid on Thursday night, and everyone knows Thursday is Thor's day and Thor was nerfed, and you can only get him.....", then that's just connecting dots that aren't connected. It's not about money. It's about some people getting through the gate, and some not, until they get what they need.
Secondly, if you've been around long enough, you know that Offers are most often made long in advance, and aren't always connected to new content. In fact, the Email didn't even say anything about Act 6, just a Memorandum. One that made Crystals available to people not Uncollected, which doesn't even apply to the same demographic, considering people waiting on Act 6 are well past that. Again, no logic.
TL:DR - Not every decision that doesn't go over is a ploy to make money.

@GroundedWisdom I'd just LOVE to see your 5* and 6* roster, since you're okay with this change.

4* gates need to die

I will be honest @GroundedWisdom is simply going round in circles for the sake of arguing. if you read all his comments over the last few pages he's literally come back full circle around 3 times.

and i have yet to read any real counter from him. he has literally contradicted himself while going round in circles. Also if the above post about him complaining about Emma frost is true then that is further evidence to show his contradictory comments.

Now if we take the following quote from him

All this emphasis on Ranking the "right" Champs is pretty blind to the use of others. Granted, there are some that can't do much of anything, I won't argue that. However, if you're expecting to take an R5 4* into Act 6, you can do the same with an R3 5*, and that doesn't take much in terms of Resources at all. That argument isn't sound with me.

prior to this multiple users have stated that given the choice they would rather use a r5/50 duped star lord then a r3/45 star lord. But even after being told the reasons why people want to potentially take their 4* into act 6 over their 5* he see's no reason why people can't just take their r3/45 5*

You aren't even at the point where this will affect you straight away, as you work your way through act 5 and then variant you will have the benefit of knowing about this restriction so won't be wasting valuable resources in 4* or even using the 4* rank up gems from Act 5 ( which are now useless in terms of progressing).

i do not really wish to continue the back and fourth as i believe you don't really share in the frustrations this decisions is causing and anything you say doesn't really help justify the use of this restriction or explain it in a way people find reasonable ( because its not really reasonable) also you just seem to fail to acknowledge why people are upset about this.

I respect your opinion is you don't see this restriction as a issue, and think it should be left there.

Agreed. It’s an extremely unpopular decision with only the barest of justifications offered thus far.
I doubt any of that is going to change regardless of how many posts show up in this thread. And as long as players dump resources into snowball’s-chance FGMCs, there’s no incentive to change anything.

use a gate.
use a progression based gate.
but not this.
it does disadvantage some long term players with bad rng and therefore bad rosters.
use a progression like this, Must be elders bane, must be more than 2yo account
just something better than no 4*.

4* gates need to die
Funny, I thought from reading all you’re comments you were for the Anti-4★ Blockade. I just don’t know what is what anymore... this thread is a f**king mess Lol

no thats where you have mis-read wat i have said.

i do not like the gate. never have and have always said i think its bad.
and always said that it will affect me badly.

i have always said that there should be a better option.

I have agreed there should be a gate.
and understood why they want a gate.
but not this.

the most i have said is it is wat it is and like it or not we need to deal with it.
and i will find a way.

that does not mean i like it and am for it.
that just means i will accept it.

The only way Kabam can reconsider the decision on 4* restriction is if most people refuse to do Act 6.1 when it drops. But we know it won’t happen as the players will flock to conquering it. So, not only Kabam is going to ignore complaints here but the company is in a SAFE POSITION to do so!
