**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Didn't believe the Hype

I've just finished my run at Cavalier (yay!). So pleased!




I'd managed to rank up some new-ish champs for the run; but the two who made the biggest impressions were Warlock (5/65) and Dr Doom. I have had Ghost Rider at 5/65 and Magik at 4/55 for a long time, so I wondered what was Doom really going to do for me? Is he really a good power controller? There was a lot of hype, but is that all it was?

I knew Warlock is crazy adaptable; and that he'd come in really handy for several fights. I've fought Sabretooth bosses with him before; and as predicted, he made 6.1.1 Sabretooth a walk in the park. But I was still kind of worried about 6.1.5 Crossbones, given the difficulties his Vigour poses for a huge number of champions. Not Warlock, though. He put Crossbones down solo on the first attempt, in under two minutes! After doing that, I wasn't expecting any of my other champs to make me sit up and take notice...

Boy, was I wrong!


I looked at 6.1.6 and the Regeneration/Unblockable path didn't seem particularly fun, so I decided to take my Power Control Champions on the All or Nothing Path. Used Vision on War Machine after a couple of struggled attempts with Magik. Then I decided to see if I could take down Symbiote Spidey (33,000PI) with Doom. Doom is Awakened at 3/45; all the other champs I brought being 4/55 or 5/65, so I wasn't really expecting him to finish the fight.

I was a bit surprised when Doom minced him. And then he minced Falcon, then Bishop, then Cable. OMG, the Cable fight was crazy. I had so much power it was a struggle not to throw back-to-back SP3s (which the global node would punish harshly). Even on an adrenaline high, I had enough sense not to take Doom against Electro; then he pounded Green Goblin down to 8% health before finally going down (Goblin's Cunning kind of messed up Doom's Power Steal mechanic) But this was five fights against 33,000PI opponents with a 3/45 and just a 20% boost! I was stunned.

I get him now. I see what he can do. The hype is real!

And I think I know who's the next Mystic to R4 for my team...
