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!

Not this again. Sticking a randomizer to combine nodes we’ve already seen a million times before does not make for interesting content. This one needs to be retired permanently.

Lot's of months there is nothing like this going on. I kind of like it on the one hand, and on the other, we could be getting no free stuff. I really don't get it. I complain about lots of things that need complaints and I am no Kabam apologist, but when they offer free things at no energy cost and all people can do is complain it's kind of a bad look for the community.

It's almost not even worth doing. 200 5* shards just going through a hellhole of champs on ridiculous nodes. Don't waste your units. Awful rewards for the amount of difficulty they set.

Everything I can do now would have been impossible or taken incredible expense to do at one time. Everything is not worth doing if you aren't ready to do it. The reward for completing Act 4 could have been a BMW but it still wouldn't have been worth it back when it would take taken me a hundred thousand dollars of units to finish it.

I usually don't say much with these things, but the level of difficulty with these Daily Events is a bit extreme. Master is becoming increasingly difficult, and I think it's a hindrance to progression. If there is a need for an added Difficulty, it would be best to add one. Otherwise you have some who are appeased because they want more of a challenge, and the remainder are trying to progress towards something that is continually changing. Not really on a rant, just providing feedback. I think it would help if there were more consistency in Difficulties.

DrFreaky

This Modok Lab is so bored, You should bring back Gold Realm instead... Btw Why don't you guys bring Gold realm once or two a month, We would more appreciate that. We are so low in gold.

Badrose

I entered the Lab in "I don't care so much" mode and I had to quit... It is truly RNG, unfortunately it's randomly giving you just Bane, Degeneration, Poison, Bleed and all togheter even after rolling every single dice.

Not complaining, free stuff, but c'mon!

Iksdjvan

Since when did unlockable special attacks mean the entire attack is unlockable? Usually it's just the first hit but in my first attempt today against a freaking falcon I evaded his sp1 first hit and when to block the rest of it as always (because it is entirely un evadable ) and he just shot right through my block...

Iksdjvan

Unblockable * ^^^^^^^^

Speeds80

I had an ok one today, one spin and finished with half my team alive, two ncs and a spidey boss. But got both the ncs to switch modes early cos they were duped. only tip I can say is always bring a double immune, and if you are running low on the randomiser autopilot the easy levels

Kpatrix

Mesmerize with Miles Morales. Didn't think it through about his natural evades causing stun. The overall difficulty level has increased way too much from the last couple of events. These are not free rewards, they are going to take resources to complete that are a lot more expensive than using energy refills.

JustusCastrum

Randomizer my *ss, every time I get a degen or thorns and every time I roll a dice I get another degen or thorns or 2 degens... Kabam proves again that it uses different math then the rest of the world!

I hate to say it but if you or anyone hasn’t progressed enough in the game then you or they won’t find all content as easy as they want. 360 t2 alpha shards may not seem much per run, but every 12 hours for 30 odd days is 2/3 of a whole t2 alpha and then 12,000 5* shards from master. Not going to be easy fights for that.

It's not about finding it as easy as I want. It's about the difficulty constantly being increased. I would prefer it to have more consistency among Difficulties. Which is why I suggested adding another Difficulty. It's really not about the Rewards. There comes a point where a Daily Quest shouldn't be that challenging. EQ, perhaps. What we have is everyone past Heroic, which is quite a large number, and it's being made more and more difficult to accomodate, but that leaves some backtracking. In any event, I'm not pulling my hair out trying to complete it. I'm fine. I'm raising a point that I believe the challenge level could be more consistent. That's just my feedback.

Master Quest has been pretty consistent as far as I can tell. Apparently they upped the difficulty on the MODOK Labs but there are multiple difficulty levels. Not sure what keeps getting more difficult or what you are asking for. You want another difficultly level on the EQ? Between heroic and master? I think we have enough levels already. If it's MODOK, again, there are multiple levels already. Do the ones you can do. But I really don't get the point about the constantly increasing difficulty.

I'm not debating my feedback. I'm not talking about Master EQ. The Daily Events are becoming more difficult in Master, and there's really no need to make it increasingly challenging. It's a Daily Quest. If there is a need to add to it, perhaps it is best to add another Tier. There comes a point where it's just too pressing. I'm just offering my view. They can do with it what they like. I'm fine with Master EQ. That's not what I'm talking about.

GroundedWisdom

To be honest, I'm for being consistent in difficulties throughout, rather than continually pushing to make it harder, but that's not the topic. I'm talking about the Events such as this. I'm not even saying I can't do it, so you missed that point. I'm talking about what is best for progression overall.

LeNoirFaineant

@GroundedWisdom just to be clear I wasn't trying to debate necessarily, was actually unclear what you were saying. Still am really. They announced that this version of MODOK was harder than the last. What else is becoming harder? Not trolling lol

GroundedWisdom

If you've noticed, since these Events have begun, Daily-type Events, they've become more difficult over time. Whether it was announced or not is irrelevant. I'm not petitioning or protesting anything. I'm sharing my feedback on it. My concern is for people trying to grow by accumulating Resources in the Difficulty they can do. If there is a continual increase in difficulty of these, it becomes more sloped. The end result is it becomes more and more exclusive to some who are just mastering Master, pardon the pun, and it creates a slope uphill. If the drive to add further challenge is that pressing, I'm for adding another level. People become efficient through habitual effort and it just becomes more frustrating if it's amped up each time.

Speeds80

I guess it kind of has to slope uphill though, as we get more r4 5*s and better attackers (and even r5s/6*s,) what we used to accomplish with4*s is easier now, I don’t disagree with gw about the idea of a difficulty between master and medium, but seriously does easy have a place in the game today, my suggestion would be make easy and medium both a bit harder with more rewards, and give starting players a slightly better starting roster, I walked through some easy to gather The units last week and it just seems like 1*s and 2*s are so quickly outdated in this game, if I started a second account now, I think I would be past needing to do easy difficulty within a week or two

Fingfangfoomfanes

The least worthwhile of all events. The Panther trials were more generous with rewards: 300 shards per day amd 700 on the infinite trial.

This one, I was foolish to spend 150 units to make it to a 30k boss and used up all dice to reroll. No good buffs for the player, all favored the bosses. And i had to spend more just to finish off half Medusa’s health.

And for what, 200 shards? And no chance of a five star sig? Ugh. I exited the quest. Not worthwhile at all.

I’ll just stick to the three other modes, no thank you. You can have your shotty shards.

Fingfangfoomfanes

The whiners and complainers here serve as feedback to the already out of touch developers of this game. We are not here to cry as babies, but to tell kabam that their idea sucks and that they should change it. How hard is it to bring back dimensional rifts? Does it spell L A B???

Skutrman

Modoks Lab is too hard as far as I am concerned. I wont be doing expert any more. You make it harder and give the same rewards? How does that make sense?
I spent 300 units on potions to complete the expert, and who needs 4 star shards anymore....all I ever get are the same crappy champs nothing new in such a long time.
This is not even worth it if I have to buy potions.

Lol I got garbage from the rifts both times. I’ll take the 5* shards, T2 alpha frags and sig stones over phcs from the rift. @GroundedWisdom I really haven’t noticed. Maybe you are right. @Fingfangfoomfanes don’t know what you mean by zero chance at a sig stone. I got one. Anyway, I like the MODOK Lab. Nothing more to say. Free stuff if you can get it. Complain away I guess.

Monstrous_Hype

I just completed the M.O.D.O.K challenge heroic difficulty and I only received 75 4* shards. I thought it was going to be 200?

BRJ2002

Modok lab is awful. Used all my dice the first day. Refused to use pots. And the rewards weren’t updated at all. Why repeat old content? Give us something fun and engaging. This is lazy on Kabams part.

Spurgeon14

For those acting like this is so easy, I am having a harder time with MODOK on Expert than Uncollected monthly chapter 3 boss. For exploration in Uncollected I get 7500 5* shards. In MODOKs I have to fight 6 boss-like fights with insane nodes for 200 measly 5* shards. After today I'm already deciding to forget it. I just can't believe how much harder they made it than the last MODOK. I didn't have any problem with that. The worst part is having to go in blind and being faced with who knows what? Its so random you don't know what champs to bring. Last fight 4 out of 6 champs were Cosmic. Before that 4 out of 6 champs were Skill. Not worth the time or frustration every 12 hours. You really blew this one guys.

Karmacolors

Kabam is f****in kidding us. First of all it's the worst quest that they will run for whole month ruining our efforts and time. The expert mode is so difficult that barely any good player can survive without the use of resources. And rest the rewards are so poor that will make you sad even if you win. So there's no use of playing this idiotic event.trials we're good in my opinion. And recently kabam became so laggy and maintenance activities have increased but still they are not compensating. Poor management and strategy. This game is losing all it's lust and slowly moving towards obsoletion. They have converted phc into a 2* crystal and are giving **** in 4 & 5 start crystal. I will leave this **** game and regret that why I wasted my 2 years in it. Earlier it was good but nowadays they are finding the ways to make you pay for playing it. Poor u kabam. Really you are now losing loyal gamers because of your stubborn strategy and crucedness.

Robinfifth

Expert difficulty is absolute garbage the reward is worth half as many credits as the pots you are going to have to use to clear this. This should have been called uncollected difficulty there has never been a 30k+ enemy for master content before. Waste of time to run this. If you are going to make something that difficult at least make the rewards justify finishing it.

Vdh2008

My 2 cents...

I think that the best way to deal with this version of MODOK's Lab is to play it from the bottom (easy) and collect the randomizers. Then when you get to expert, you have the ones you collected today, and you make a run at it. If you have to use more than 3 randomizers, you either quit, or buy more. Don't spend units to finish, as there is another chance in a few hours.

I personally have no issues beating expert, and I always have randomizers to spare doing it this way. There is no energy cost, and I can auto fight all 3 lower difficulties.

Mrmarvel123

I do not care for this event
