Fantastic and Doom Invasions! (Updated Nov 4th)

Summoners!

The final member of the Fantastic Four has been found trapped in a prison constructed by their greatest Enemy! Now, it’s time for you to fight alongside them in Fantastic Invasions and Doom Invasions!

Invasions!

On alternating days, you’ll be able to participate in either FANTASTIC INVASIONS or DOOM INVASIONS. These Quests will face you off against Villain, Hero, and Mercenary Champions on behalf of two of the greatest minds in The Battlerealm, Reed Richards and Doctor Doom!

Fantastic Invasions will reward Crystal Shards to help you expand your team of friends, while Doom Invasions will reward Catalysts and Fragments to make your Champions know true power!

Switch Sides Every Day!

These quests exist in 2 Variations that are available for 24 hours at a time, and alternate daily.

During Fantastic Assignments, you’ll challenge the Villains that aim to destroy our Heroic Champions! During Doom Assignments, you’ll stop at nothing to conquer the so-called “Heroes” that stand in the way of the Villains of the Battlerealm!

These quests each consist of 3 paths of 7 nodes each (1 energy per step), with 5 fights per path (including the Boss). There are 4 difficulties for Summoners to explore: Normal, Heroic, Master, and Epic!

Watch out, Summoner! These Champions each have special Buffs to increase the Difficulty of the encounter!

Rewards: NOTE: These Rewards have been updated. See below.

Prepare to help Doctor Doom and Mister Fantastic thwart their enemies!

This event will be active from November 6th - December 4th! You must update to version 25.0 to be able to see or participate in this event!

UPDATE:

Summoners,

After having many discussions on the subject with you all, and amongst the team, we will be moving forward with some changes to the rewards of Fantastic and Doom Invasions. We heard from our players that they do not believe that the current rewards accurately reflect the time and effort that is required to complete this content, and that the rewards don’t help push the needle on Summoner progression in a meaningful way. While side events are not the place we intend for Top Tier rewards to be gained, we do still want the rewards to be meaningful.

While we don’t usually make adjustments to content before it’s in our Players’ hands, and you had time to experience it, we agree with much of what you have said. We have decided that we will be updating the rewards to include more T5B Fragments, T2A Fragments, 5-Star Shards, 4-Star Shards, and 3-Star Shards. These are the newly updated rewards:

While we always aim to choose a selection of rewards that our players will find valuable and get excited about, hitting the sweet spot for all players is difficult. This month, we chose to include 5-Star Signature Stone Crystals, which is not usually a Side Event Reward, and not always valued as much as items such as 5-Star or 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards.

We do need to make it clear that this increase in rewards is based on multiple factors, and that going forward, you will still see fluctuations in rewards and events. Some events will be more rewarding than others, and some will require more time and effort than others. We will be taking more care to assess the effort that our Summoners put into that Content, and not just the intended difficulty.

Additionally, we’re adding 250,000 Gold to the Gold Arena in our Fantastic Family Milestones for a total of 750,000.

At this point I don't even want to play.
If the fact that most players are uninterested doesn't make an alarm go off at Kabam, the game isn't long from termination.

Rewards are lame.

I ended up doing only autofight for this month side quest to grind since units for 6.3, but overall nothing to do atm for me. Almost skipped aw placement, and no any other reason to log in. If the fights are not any fun, I will finally quit the game, wich is good for me, but I believe it's not for kabam, as it looks like there are more people who feels smth similar

Worse events with worse rewards, I wish it was still 2018.

Seatins video convinced me to steer clear...with the comparison to last year's. This event sounds horrible and time consuming

You must be referring to the Champion's Clash Challenge Quest, which was a special High Difficulty Challenge Quest, and not a Side Quest such as this. It was, at the time, one of the most difficult challenges that we had ever introduced.

It consisted of 2 Chapters: The first of which was accessible, but difficult for most Mid-High Tier Summoners. The second was a very difficult quest that was a challenge even for our top end players. You can take a look back at that Quest here, and the reaction that it garnered in the following pages: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/109351/announcing-the-champion-s-clash/

Challenge Quests are not the same as Side Quests. They are special occurrences that happen from time to time. In fact, we recently did a Content Creator Boss Rush in September that was significantly easier and contained a 5-Star Crystal as the reward. That would be a more apt comparison.

The last 3 or 4 side quests have been some of the most tedious, lackluster events I can remember.

There’s a lot riding on 6.3 for me. If it’s anything like 6.2 then I am going to have a hard time justifying the escalating time commitment it takes to make even an inch of progress in this game.

What does difficulty have to do with it? Why not do something difficult this month then? How can you sit there and defend the rewards this year based on it being a different “type” of event?

Seriously - are you not reading the feedback?
Of all the comments you chose to respond to... this is the one? The community is massively disappointed, and all you have to say is "that was a challenge quest, not a side quest"??

Wake up. Stop cherry-picking comments to refute. Listen to your community. Respond appropriately.

Kilohm

Pathetic rewards. Come on Kabam, this is getting tiresome.

Longshot_33

Just wondering ..has it been clarified if we are able to do both these or do we choose at the beginning which one to do every other day? @Kabam Miike

SSGNick556

I'm sorry to be Debbie Downer but these rewards seem very meh to me. The 5* sig stone crystals are the only thing somewhat exciting. A pitiful amount of T5B and a minimum amount of 5* and 6* shards. Look at the 5* shards, the Human Torch event we were able to open 3 5* crystals over the course of the month. Kabaam has hyped this event for a few weeks now and to me it looks like just another meh event.
This exactly. There are people that already have lots of champs, but they need sig stones. For them, they love this event.

For everyone else that has resources, but no good champ, this event is pretty bad, as has been this month's event. How the heck are people supposed to progress if they can't get champs--unless they pay up the wazoo for them. Kabam is the one that made those dumb gates, and if you happen to not have the right champs, you are just twiddling your thumbs waiting for more shards to come by your way, until you can finally get the required champs for the gates.

Very disappointed in Kabam yet again. They don't fix major bugs that have been going on for 8+ months, and they are tight wads when it comes to getting 5* shards, no Halloween calendar, and things are just so bleak for another 30+ days.

The sigstone crystals are meh. Total rng related and typical pile up what we dont need. Generic sig stone wouldve been way better and been better received by the community. Kabam should be increasing generic 5* sig stones in all content at this point in the game. Not rng based crystals.

Doom Invasions happen on say Monday, Fantastic Invasions on Tuesday, then Doom again on Wednesday, Fantastic again Thursday and on and on. Those could be reversed, we don't know yet which one will be which day. Everyone will get to participate in both on alternating days.

MarzGroove

Not interested in a daily grind.

Rougeknight87

3k T5B? This game is going backwards!! 9k 5* shards for daily grinding over a month, these side events are pathetic, I used to play this religiously but have found myself logging on less and less.
Tired event structures and rewards systems that haven’t moved for a year and half, get with the program kabam as you’re turning your own product stale.

Troy_Elric123

Now those are some decent rewards. 3x 5* sig stone crystals per day? heck yes.

define decent. this is mediocre

Septristic

Doom and fantastic quest will be on same date or there will be 1 per day?

Dibang85

Just wondering ..has it been clarified if we are able to do both these or do we choose at the beginning which one to do every other day? @Kabam Miike

Just read ...
Quests will alternate automaticaly each day
Day 1 doom
Day 2 fantastic
Day 3 doom
etc.

This is great! That's actually a lot of 5* shards. Now, in addition to seeing Reed's and Doom's abilities and some gameplay, I'm properly pumped for this month. THANK YOU for listening Kabam! This is definitely a good move on your part.

Eb0ny-O-M4w

Will the info about the monthly quest come out today? Or do we need to wait till tomorrow?

I will echo this and say Thank You!

RiderofHell

Even so with the rewards being slightly buffed i still aint doing the side quest. I like to spend less time on the game rather then spend more of it. I already am bored as it is and this aint gonna make me go unbored

Tehsigzorz

Please dont listen to the person above me, this is a great change. Thank you!!

Raganator

Quick...someone do the comparison of overall rewards before and after the update. I'm lazy AF.
