M.O.D.O.K.’S Lab Grand Re-Opening!

M.O.D.O.K. is re-opening his Laboratory for Summoners to test the limits of his new device, the Randomizers, once again!

Roll the dice and test yourself against a number of completely random Opponents with their own set of random Buffs! Beware, strategist M.O.D.O.K., satisfied with your previous performance in his Lab, has levelled up the Challenge for you! Remember to use M.O.D.O.K.’s remarkable Randomizer to spin the wheel again if you are not content with your set of Buffs.

If you need a refresher on how M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab Works, take a look at our forum post from the first time they ran, but read on to find out the differences!

The Lab will remain open for experiments between February 28th at 2 PM PST until March 26th at 3 AM PDT.

M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab will feature a few changes in this round:

Duration/Frequency
- 12 hours cycles instead of 8
- 1 entry limit per difficulty (exactly the same as before)

Auto Fight will be turned ON.

1 more General Pool Buff was added on the nodes of Medium Difficulty.

ALL the Champions will be randomized from every Class on every node instead of 1 Class per node.

Final fight in each quest is tuned to be a Boss fight.
- The Final Boss fight in Expert difficulty is a 6-Star Champion.

How hard are the fights in this round of craziness?

Easy - Mini Bosses
- 2-Star Champions
- Rank 1
- Level 10
- Signature 0

Easy - Final Boss
- 3-Star Champion
- Rank 1
- Level 5
- Signature 10

Medium - Mini Bosses
- 3-Star Champions
- Rank 3
- Level 30
- Signature 10

Medium - Final Boss
- 4-Star Champion
- Rank 2
- Level 20
- Signature 50

Hard - Mini Bosses
- 4-Star Champions
- Rank 4
- Level 40
- Signature 50

Hard - Final Boss
- 5-Star Champion
- Rank 3
- Level 45
- Signature 100

Expert - Mini Bosses
- 5-Star Champions
- Rank 4
- Level 55
- Signature 200

Expert - Final Boss
- 6-Star Champion
- Rank 3
- Level 35
- Signature 200

Were the Random Buffs victim to the twisted mind of MODOK, and adjusted as well?

Not really! A lot of the Buffs are what they were used to be. An exception to this is the new Final Boss Boosts:

Medium Final Boss HP and Attack Boost Pool
- Has Champion Boosts from 25%-50%

Hard Final Boss HP and Attack Boost Pool
- Has Champion Boosts from 75%-100%

Expert Final Boss HP and Attack Boost Pool
- Has Champion Boosts from 150%-200%

General Buff Pool

Consists of most Buffs available in the game, with some exceptions such as:

- Buffs that only work on one specific Character and Class specific Buffs (such as War Machine’s “Second Line” Buff or “Mystic Wrath”)
- Incredibly high HP or Attack Buffs (nothing above 200%)
- Degeneration (3.3% per second and 1.67% per second)

Buffs on a per-difficulty basis, on each fight:

Easy
- 1 General Pool Buff

Medium
- 1 Medium HP/Attack Pool Buff
- 2 General Pool Buffs

Hard
- 1 Hard HP/Attack Pool Buff
- 3 General Pool Buffs

Expert
- 1 Special 3 Activated (Permanent)
- 1 Expert HP/Attack Pool Buff
- 4 General Pool Buffs

Here’s where you can get more of M.O.D.O.K.’s precious Randomizers:

- 8x in a welcome message on February 28th, when M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab goes live.
- 8x per day in the Game Store for 2500 Gold each.
- 1x in each Final Boss fight of each difficulty of M.O.D.O.K.'s Lab (8x per 24 hours, maximum)

No energy cost but LIMITED ENTRY!

It still costs 0 energy per step to play M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab, however, you will only be able to enter each difficulty once every 12 hours.

IF YOU ENTER A QUEST AND QUIT OUT, YOU WILL LOSE ALL WITHHELD ITEMS AND YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. This means if you enter, decide you want to play something else, and quit, you’ll have to wait until your entries reset (every 12 hours) to enter again.

REWARDS - M.O.D.O.K’s GENEROSITY

Below is a list of what you can expect as a rewards for each completion of M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab. Keep in mind that since this is 1 path, completion will also equal exploration. Also keep in mind this is per instance, meaning the below rewards can be earned a maximum of 2 times a day for the duration of the event.

Summoners must update to the latest version of the game to be able to partake in MODOK's Lab.

Enjoy the madness!

Why? Why a re-tread event....again. Where are the dimensional rifts????!!! Where are chances for real rewards

We used to only get opportunities for extra rewards with events like this once every couple of months. I don't care what the event is. I'm glad they're doing them every month now.

I totally get it, but it's all about money for them & they know by reintroducing super buffed content like this they will force some players to use resources & most likely spend more real cash overall...

I understand Kabam are a business, I mean dayummm they live to make money but... They make MCOC so irritating with stuff like this... Sort out your servers instead so players don't get lagged to death after "Emergency Maintenance" etc haha

5* boss - 5* shards. now 6* boss, why not 6* Shards.??

Ark504

Problems with the dice is how many times u reroll that u get kabammed in the end!!
And now the difficulty is even harder!! Wow 👎

SpiritOfVengeance

Ill go with it this time but please don't get used to releasing this modok labs thing no one missed it when it went, your other ideas such as the scrapyard and rifts were much more popular.

IanMoone89

I have another idea......add icephoenix and void to make our experience even more interesting

Horror_punk

Please upgrade the rewards
Why you downgrading
these are lower than Last year December modok event
Further only 2 times a day 😖

No one is forcing you to do the event. Just focus on everything else.

Of course i aint even bother with this BS.....clearly they are out of ideas and their money well is dry

GbSarkar

More difficult than Trial of Kings and less rewards....OK

75. Twice a day, 150 a day.

Nice, so after 2 weeks of running that twice a day, you can finally open one 4 star crystal.

Worth.

It makes a difference for those on Heroic. As with all these Events, they're cumulative. If you keep doing them, they add up eventually. There's also the option to not do it if you feel it's not worth your time. Lol.

No one is forcing you to do the event or all of the difficulties. Especially if it's above your progression point in the game so far. They have to cater to the beginners and the end game community. Of course it's about money, but not the way you think. Making sure the entire customer base stays engaged is more important than creating content that is impossible to complete without cash. If they made a 1 month Labyrinth style event, I would agree. But this isn't that.

Maybe they're busy working on something really awesome like a new season AQ.

Agree, at least there is something to get engaged than normal quest/AQ/AW. And consider them free rewards.

So auto fight is turned ON does that mean we don't have control of our champs ? We can't turn it off ?
Nvm I just realized what that means now 😂

UC439

Useless irritating event just like modok himself. Trials, dimensional rifts are much better. Even test of valor was also value for effort. This lab is rubbish!

Rob

Glad it's back. This was one of my favorite events thus far. Wish it was still every 8 hours. t2a shards and good chance of 5 star sig stones.

No, they mean the Feature is enabled. Last time there was no Auto Fight.

They introduce two new champs each month, they just added an extra arena, they do a monthly event quest and they are working on the next season of AQ and Act 6, not to mention review all of the data that our playing produces give the staff a little slack. One month is nothing in terms of game content development.

If you're going to reuse content, why not bring back Dimensional Rifts?

YES PLEASE. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK.

Thatweirdguy

The event presents easy rewards for some with no energy. That is a huge plus for players that can do it without using resources. I think the people complaining are those that can't do the hardest difficulty without using resources. If that is the case you unfortunately might have to pass on the toughest difficulty level.

These are definitely not less. While you get less overall because it only runs twice per day instead of 3 times, the rewards are the same if not more (like the Tier 2 Alpha Fragments in Expert Difficulty).

GroundedWisdom

I don't see why all the complaining. There's no Energy cost. You can literally run at least 3 Difficulties on Auto Fight and get Rewards, at least those of us that have Champs high enough.

ANdyvegAS

So when Gold Realms/Halls of Fortune coming back?

Deadbyrd9

Let’s all conplain about free stuff that’s easy to get lol. Why not be appreciative that they brought god back? I like getting 500 5* shards a day for minimal effort

Thawnim

The fact is they did not have to do anything. Trials and rifts are more preferable to this, but still it is something else to choose to use energy on.

Whatever comes free we'll take it
Thanks for keeping game going and making new stuffs
Otherwise it is all same AQ and AW

Good god. The madness returns. Imma get ready for Life transfer and Heal reversal
