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!

MODOK lab is difficult. And your increasing it only for 200 5* shards? 6*s are up you know

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

Completely agree. We will net a little bit less, but some days it was too tough to run three sessions of the lab anyways.

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

I completely agree with this. Dimensional rift was better rewards and since it was more random, it was pretty fun. Also the added alliance and solo quests to get the shards were good too.

KyrieRed

They cant easly not push any quest than it would be 0 shards per day. So i guess thank you

Hey, if you're going to increase the difficulty.. then it's only natural that you increase the rewards.

Twice a day. That's 400 Shards every 24 hours.

This. You increased the difficulty, and we won’t be able to play it as often, but the rewards are exactly the same? @Kabam Miike that makes no sense

I'd love to see some awakening gems in something....anything, they've become almost nonexistent. Just a thought.

BobsYourUnkle

Are people really complaining about the rewards?

Over a 28 period, if you do Heroic and Mastery difficulty twice every day, you get a total of 5.6 t2a, 21 t4b, 4,000 4* shards, and 14,000 5* shards. For a few 0 energy fights per day. If those rewards were on a monthly calendar instead, people would be praising Kabam for their generosity.

The entitlement is real.

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I would prefer if it was the same rewards balanced out to only have to do it once per day. But I'm not so jaded to think I'm somehow getting screwed for getting all these free rewards just because i have to put in a small amount of work.

You can get 3 from Act 5

This is awesome! But the real prize I’m looking for is a title. Is there going to be any? And people need to be nicer to you guys, this game is the best

I liked the trials much better than these modok ones. How come only 200 shards?

Trials of the King had 300 shards and you could only do it once. MODOK has 200 shards and you can do it twice. TotK cost energy, MODOK had no energy cost. That's actually reasonably close in cost/benefit ratio to me for 5* shards. MODOK also has T2A fragments which TotK does not. Reward-wise I think both are in the same ballpark overall.

you need to re-math your numbers. you off by a factor of 10 on a couple of those.... should be 0.56 t2a, 2.1 t4b.

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.

Actually, I thought the MODOK event was pretty fun; I liked the randomizer element and my only real gripe was with the 8 hour timer. In fact, I think a once-per-day MODOK with somewhat higher rewards per run would be even better, because it would be less of a chore and more of a interesting diversion. The once per day property of Trials of the King is an important factor in making the TotK rewards seem to be more of a bonus and less of a chore to me.

Whoops, you're right. I'm not entirely sure why I thought 900 and 360 were 9000 and 3600. I am a dunce!

Couldn't find a post for this update? What other changes are added to it? Is the True strike tweak included?
Will Karnak be able to prevent auto-blocks on MODOK?

I'd imagine you would prefer them to double the rewards and reduce the ability to run this quest to once per day.

Yeah

X_Scott

Yay!!!! Thanks K.A.B.A.M.!

TheManFromMarz

Reading some of these comments its clear there's a lot of newer players here. When the game first came out these monthly / special events, AW, etc. didn't even exist. There wasn't even crystal shards, the only way to get 4*s were from PHC's. The game is moving in the right direction and rewards have been piling up. Not seeing how ppl can complain.

Seriously people. If you don’t want to play the game... don’t bother!!!! Nobody is forcing you to spend your own time on video games. You make that decision for yourself... and if you don’t like this event... what a surprise!!!! Don’t play it!!!!!
