May Content - The Train Job/Knull's Lair
Side quest is a map with 4 paths and we get entry keys in the mail every week. Each path has a trap node pointing to the Knull boss, and exploration unlocks a quest that is only a Knull boss with all nodes activeFull Details
Negasonic Teenage Warhead/Silver Sable
NTW builds lots of incinerates, and inflicts incinerate vulnerability. She has a mashing function similar to Howard on her special 2. All of her attacks are non-contact + energy, and she can evade counter-attacks (eg. bullseye, kate, elsa). Every effect she has is passive, including the parry stun. She is expected to be a great counter to skill champions, especially bullseye.Silver Sable rewards intercepts by building up shocks. She can inflict passive tracking and disorients, and has a trap mechanic like Kraven, although she can have multiple traps simultaneously, and instead of rooting, it inflicts energy burst damage. She can convert her shocks into critical passives, and her heavy can't miss. She is anticipated to be a solid questing champ, as she benefits from some ramping.

New Ways to Progress
There are going to be alternative means of achieving some progression titles (Conqueror, Uncollected, Cav, Thronebreaker). These are a separate path than the standard story progression, meant as an alternative for people that don't want to play story content. The late game and very early game progressions still require story completion.
NOTE: These requirements exist in parallel to the normal story requirements. Standard story progression will still reward progression titles as it always has
| Progression | Standard Requirements | Alternate Requirements |
| Challenger | 1.1 | |
| Contender | 2.1 | |
| Proven | 3.2 | |
| Conqueror | 4.4 | 5x 5* r3 |
| Uncollected | 5.2 | 5x 6* r2 |
| Cavalier | 6.1 | 5x 6* r3 |
| Thronebreaker | 6.4 + 1x 6* r3 | 5x 6* r4 |
| Paragon | 7.4 + 3x 6* r4 | |
| Valiant | 8.3 + 2x 7* r3 |

Comments
(But the bullseye nerf is Negasonic Teenage Warhead doing the fusion dance with $100)
why only 30 minutes
Making it points based would still draw people to the mode (which I assume is the intention), but also allow people to still actually have a chance, if Matchmaking doesn't work in their favor.
We still don’t have rebalancing info for Onslaught and Maestro though
Progression should be earned, not handed out like free tacos on Taco Tuesday! So, let's stick to the tried and true method - Story mode all the way!
