Announcing Special Quests: Trials of the King

FIT FOR A KING

How did the Black Panther become the Black Panther? Like those who came before him, he proved himself in a set of rites meant to test all aspects of his body and mind; The Trials of the King. Thanos’ growing power casts a dark shadow across the Battlerealm, and King T’Challa finds himself reflecting on the lessons of the Trials now more than ever. After communion with the Panther God Bast, T’Challa knows what he must do. All leaders are only as good as their weakest ally. T’Challa must know that you are capable of doing what must be done. You must prove yourself in the Trials of the King.

WE ON NOW

Trials of the King is the collective name of 7 different Daily Quests. Starting on January 31st at 10AM PST, the first Trial of the King - called the Trial of Heart - will become available for 24 hours.

Like M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab, Trials of the King will have ENTRY LIMITS. Unlike M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab however, ONLY ONE DIFFICULTY of Trials of the King can be played every day. This means if you enter Easy difficulty, and either complete or quit that quest, you will have used your entries for all difficulties for that day. In the event that you QUIT the quest, you will also be forfeiting all rewards for that day as well.

For the first 6 days, you’ll be playing through 3 fights in every difficulty, with all those fights having a set of Buffs applied to them that fit the theme of that day. More details on enemies and Buffs are below, but the theme of each day is as follows:

Day 1: Trial of Heart - Fights that focus on Regeneration and Degeneration (mostly regen).
Day 2: Trial of Time - Fights that focus on time limits and time-based effects.
Day 3: Trial of Resilience - Fights that focus on defensive abilities.
Day 4: Trial of Spirit - Fights that focus on Power Gain and Power Drain.
Day 5: Trial of Wisdom - Fights that focus on changing the normal flow of battle.
Day 6: Trial of Strength - Fights that focus on high damage.

Whichever difficulty you complete will always award you with an ESSENCE. Essences are mode specific Boosts that will grant you powerful effects on the seventh day: The Trial of the Infinite. The Trial of the Infinite is a collection of 6 fights - one from each of the previous 6 days, and will allow you to play EACH DIFFICULTY ONCE. It also has increased rewards when compared to the previous 6 days (details on that below). After the 7th day, the cycle resets. This will occur 4 times, with the final Trial of the Infinite concluding on February 28th at 10:00 AM PST. Here’s a handy diagram to plot this out:

WALKTHROUGH

That’s a lot of stuff, so let’s go through what a week might look like, step by step.

Day 1 - Trial of Heart appears and you decide to play Expert difficulty:

You complete the map, and receive the reward, including that day’s Essence - the Essence of
Heart:

Day 1 has now been completed. If you quit out of the quest you entered, however, you will lose the opportunity to obtain the Essence for that day (as well as any other rewards).

Repeat this Process on days 2 through 6:

When Day 7 appears, you will be able to enter each difficulty once:

These fights WILL be harder, but rewards will also increase. In these quests, you will be able to activate your Essences from Days 1-6 to give you an edge. Essences only last 30 minutes however, so make sure to use them when it counts!

And that’s it! Once the Trial of the Infinite is complete, the Trial of Heart will return and a new 7-day cycle will begin!

This is really good.. I am excited.. 😁😁😁
But there's something I wanna talk about to @Kabam DK. I post a request and I am really disappointed to your process of solving issues. I had a problem and you didn't solve it. I didn't got any response to that issue. Please check it. It would be really helpful to me. Please!!!

I love these events but now since 5*’s are much more common you guys need to make these a lot harder. I enjoy a good challenge & these aren’t in the least bit hard any more, please make them difficult for r4/5 5*’s not 5/50’s(still easy with them) I remember the Coulson event was so difficult I miss that!

Not everyone has your roster or resources.

Why would you even say that? Lol just to start drama? There is literally no sense to this unless of course if you want to be a spendor and want to weed out nonspendors... either use lower champs or don't play weaker content.. or if you're just too good for this game and it's all so easy go play something else I guess. Why go hard and grind you're brains out for best champs and cats to to rank them if not to make content easier? How to make you happy???

chill out! you are not speaking for everybody. Give them your gamename and let them create you a juicy extremely difficult 8Star Challenge for you personally! Everybody don't have the champs and resources like some of the big spenders have.

I love the concept. Continue developing new and exciting events like this and this game will flourish. Just fix the lag and some of these auto evade glitches and we will have a winner. Oh yea and some of those crappy offers only a dummy would buy! lol

Thumbs up Kabam! Sure less rewards than Modok's lab but much less hassle; great work!

@SteelCurtainMUT
I like your skill. But you gotta prove it with 2*s.
Then it'll be balanced with your BS.

finaly ... 24h ... GREAT !

So you teased both killmonger and gladiator hulk. Since gladiator hulk does not appear anywhere in this quest, should we assume that he will be the second champion added next month? Meaning that he won't get a 5star featured crystal? Please release him first...

Mike: Apart from these quests and the monthly quest, are we having other events like hero usage or the valor theme that we saw with Thor Ragnarok?

Stagedear85

i'm calling it first Killmonger will be trash and Gladiator Hulk will be an amazing tier champ.

Thought I clicked on the Michael Jordan event post. But everyone saying to use lower tier champs is absolutely hilarious, content should range from beginner to expert & EVERYONE expects to beat all the difficulties without breaking a sweat & if they have to buy a revive they cry about it. The difficult content should be DIFFICULT

It is difficult or impossible for 99.99% of the playerbase. Asking for it to be difficult for 99.999% because 99.99% is not enough is simply not a good use of developer time.

At some point, if you find yourself at the very top of the very top of players playing an MMO-type game, you have two choices. Figure out a way to challenge yourself, or be bored and quit. There is simply no third choice, because no MMO dev team has enough resources to consistently challenge the top ten percent of top one percent of the top one percent. The only MMOs with any sort of end game for the top of the top of the top are focused on PvP end game. Because the only things that can challenge the top of the top of the top consistently, are the other players at that level.
