December Content - Make it There/Champions of Fortune

Details

Bullseye/White Tiger

Bullseye can place instant bleeds through block. He has easy evades, and can disable his sp3. He has a slow down time mechanic, guaranteed crits, and a miss counter. Sig ability allows him to purify on heavies. Designed as a good defender, but valuable attacker too.

White Tiger has lots of power steal which gives fury buffs, and can purify damaging debuffs. It seems that she rewards intercepts as well. She can only use a sp3 when charging a heavy, and punishes buffs. She is anticipated to be a good attacker in shorter fights, with a little bit of sneaky defense.

Deep dives go live over the weekend


Summoner's Choice 2024

This year is a choice between 8 villains (most of whom I've never heard of). Like last year, we get multiple ballots in game that can be cast for any of the options, and there will be the Twitter wildcard again. There will be 3 rounds of voting, and the winner will be announced February 9.


Choices
  • Shathra
  • The Beetle
  • Blob
  • Shriek
  • Swarm
  • Viper
  • Black Tarantula
  • Ruby Thursday

AQ Raids

Full Details
Raids seem complicated but during my playtest everyone understood it very quickly. Maps 6-8 will give raid tickets, and we will get enough in the mail to compete in the first one free. Raids feature new music, and the bosses have over 120 million health. Once your squad is built up you will do insane damage, but the boss builds furies and eventually roots you during specials, like in necropolis. You are capped to 10% damage per attempt, but you get 2 100% revives every day for free

    Does anyone cares about Summoner's Choice Champions after Gladiator.

    What's the point of choosing a winner if the other champions are released later the same way as Bullseye/White Tiger.

    It's better to call it "Which of the characters do you want to see a little earlier than the rest"

    I mean…yeah that’s basically what it is. We get to vote for our favorite and they get put in the game first. A lot of the other champs on the poll are also fantastic and they aren’t going to be left out permanently. It would be sad if they just never introduced characters who didn’t win in the future. Also, we haven’t even seen a large majority of champs from previous years enter the contest yet, so the poll is important

    Yeah and it’s a way for Kabam to gauge popularity of a group of champs; if they do well in Summoner’s Choice even without winning it’s a sign players would want them. And since they have to be able to develop any of the options for release as Summoner’s Choice, there’s usually at least initial stages of design done by the time of the vote, so it’s easier to implement them later.

    I mean, they won’t gatekeep the losers out of the game forever. But it’s not like they’ve all gotten in either.

    2020 - 3/8 - Herc, Morbius, OMSent
    2022 - 5/12 - Quicksilver, Dani Moonstar, Kushala, Baron Zemo, Bullseye
    2023 - 3/8 - Gladiator, White Tiger, Bullseye

    the real question is, why bother voting when Shriek's going to win because everyone loves Symbiotes apart from me, apparently?

    Bullseye kinda reminds me of Kate Bishop. He has a similar “perfect release” mechanic as Kate and Hawkeye, and can evade on parries. He’s a Photon killer, which is very good, as she is one of the best defenders currently.

    White Tiger is kinda like Tigra but she has power steal as well

    Well the fact that they both have sharp claws I guess but they're literally nothing alike in playstyle apart from aesthetic and special attacks

    WT isn’t anything like Tigra though lol. She has purify, furies, power steal, no neutralize, and her damage comes from basic hits as opposed to dot. As Jayiri said, they’re basically nothing alike other than some animation similarities

    Some cool champs to choose from does anyone know where we might be able to find an image of all of them together or something to make voting a little more clear on who they are?
  • YigzzYigzz Member Posts: 38 ★
    Is the champ we use for raid week locked so that we can not use them in any other content until we KO the final boss?
