The Black ISO that has been gathered by Fixit and his minions resonates through the area, crippling all Champions, except for Villains!! Those of dark intent can take advantage of the powers in play to cripple their opponents and bring their evil schemes to fruition!

Introducing Back Issues #6: Contamination! Available December 16th at 10 am PT!

Back Issues returns with another trip down memory lane in Classic, and another Variant difficulty remix to conquer. This time it features the Quest Contamination, in which Jessica Jones and the Summoner uncover an underground fighting ring, powered by a mysterious and corrupt ISO substance.

Classic Difficulty is a recreation of the original quest. While not completely 1:1, the layouts, difficulty, and dialogue are all the same as you remember. Take a stroll down memory lane and see how far you've come, or experience a quest you never got the chance to play!

Variant Difficulty is a new spin on the quest, available for Summoners level 45 and up. This version features extreme challenges, new opponents, some map layout updates, and enhancements to your #Villain Champions.
The Variant Challenge

New global buffs in Variant difficulty will limit the power of Champions who aren’t tagged as #Villain, for only those with a wicked spirit are able to handle the power of Black ISO.

Bring your most evil team and take advantage of several new buffs that will give an edge to Villains capable of activating corresponding abilities such as Fury, Armor Break, or Unstoppable. Heroes, Mercs, and others will be able to enter the Quest, but be warned: The corrupting aura of Black ISO Resonance will limit their impact in combat!

Global Buffs

The Following 3 Buffs will be active in all fights throughout the Quest:

Black ISO Resonance: Corrupt ISO energy radiates from the earth. Attacking Champions are immune to all damage, and receive 100% bonus attack, but will be KO'd after 20 seconds via unavoidable Direct Damage. #Villain Champions ignore these effects.

Malevolence: All non-#Villain Attackers are unable to gain power.

Malignance: All non-#Villain Attackers are unable to heal through any means.

A few of the following Buffs will be found throughout each Quest and on Boss Fights:


Mastermind: #Villain Attackers increase the duration of Bleed, Incinerate, and Shock Debuffs on their Opponent by 100%

Henchman: When triggering a Fury Buff #Villain Attackers will Passively Purify all Debuffs

Monster: When triggering an Unstoppable or Unblockable, Buff or Passive, #Villain Attackers will grant themselves a non-stacking Passive Regeneration granting 10% of their Max Health over 5 seconds.

Beast: Activating an Unstoppable or Unblockable buff or passive on an Attacking #Villain Champion reverses the Defender’s healing for 5 seconds.

Genius: While under the effect of an Armor Up Buff an Attacking #Villain Champions Burn 10% of the Defender's Max Power on Hit or when Blocked.

Madness: When triggering an Armor Break Debuff #Villain Attackers will also apply a Passive Powerlock to the Defender which will last until the last Armor Break end.

Overlord: When a Defender’s buffs are nullified, #Villain Attackers gain a permanent +10% precision passive, to a max of 10.

Tyrant: #Villain Attackers cause 50% of their Attack as bonus Energy Damage each time they Hit their Opponent or their Block, as long as the Defender suffers from a Weakness Debuff.

    kind of annoying that corvus wont be counted as a villain for the effects

    Glaive immunity might make him busted though

    Idk, the buffs for #villain seem to be a little overkill. Am I missing something?

    the 1 trillion hitpoint opponents
    It's basically 6.1 HP with former 6.3-4 attack values, but sure.
    wait, where did it say that in the post?
