Announcing: Danger Rooms

LET’S GET DANGEROUS

Greetings Summoners, A new type of event quest is coming to The Contest for a limited time! Danger Rooms will be available to test your skills starting September 5th, 10:00 AM PDT and running until October 3rd, 10:00 AM PDT

NEW QUEST FEATURE: CHAMPION REQUIREMENTS

Danger Rooms are Daily Quests that test your skills and your roster! Each day a new Danger Room will be available with new Champion Requirements that will affect which Champions you can bring into the Quest. When a Champion Requirement is on a Quest, only Champions that meet those requirements can be used in that Quest.

For Example, the first Danger Room that releases will require Science Champions. No other classes will be able to enter that day’s Danger Room. There are also requirements on what Rarity (Star level) of Champion can be brought in. So keep a close eye on what the Champion Requirement each day is, as the specific requirement will depend on your Difficulty. Summoners with wide rosters of 2-Stars and 3-Stars will be well rewarded for their efforts! So how many of these Danger Rooms are there exactly?

These Danger Rooms will run on a weekly schedule and reset after the 7th Day. The full schedule and all requirements can be found below. Danger Rooms will have 3 Difficulties (Beginner, Normal, Heroic) While Level 30+ Summoners will be able to access GIFTED Danger Rooms, which contain Master and Epic difficulty, and greater rewards.

THE FINAL EXAM

The 7th Day also holds something special! An UNCANNY Danger Room will be available on the 7th Day each week. This Quest has ENTRY COSTS and requires 3 Uncanny Passes to enter, which can be gained from the previous weeks Danger Rooms. 1 Danger Room Completed = 1 Uncanny Pass. Save up through the week and spend your Passes to enter and take on these tougher challenges for even greater Rewards! Passes are Difficulty specific, so if you want to complete the Epic Difficulty of the Uncanny Danger Room, you’ll need Epic Uncanny Pass. After the 7th day, the schedule will reset back to Day 1.

The 7th Day will also have a Regular Danger Room for you to participate in and earn Passes, but the UNCANNY Danger Room DOES NOT have Champion Requirements. So be CAREFUL who you bring in as your Passes are CONSUMED upon entry. Similar to our previous Quests with Entry Costs.

- 5,600 PHC shards
- 2,800 3* shards

Thanks for the break down 😁

So if I don't have any 2 star or 3 star champions does that mean I won't be able to participate in this event at all?

You can still participate in the beginner level. Also, I'd start grinding the quickmatch arena now, while it is still giving cinematic crystals.

Not trying to be cold or negative, but this is exactly why some people consistently advise not to sell champions -- this isn't the first time they've done something like this, and obviously, there are Arenas every week that have Rarity caps

At some point, if people are going to sell characters, that becomes a choice, and choices like that where you benefit on the front end can have consequences on the back end

To be more specific, selling champions is a risk that most people who advocate selling do not quantify and do not account for when they claim it is a good strategy. You accept that risk when you sell.

While I like the idea, the rewards seem very low.

Absolutely -- I mean, seriously. For, what, the last year, Kabam literally gives a crystal that is more likely to be a 3-star every month, simply for logging in. You don't even have to grind for that. There's even four or five grace days built into it.

I mean, my gosh. At some point, if a person can't even be bothered to hang onto even those, what do people want Kabam to do

No problem! Like I said I wanted to incorporate the Uncanny rewards too but want to wait until we see what the alliance and solo events give us in terms of passes. I’ll try to remember to do a breakdown once we know more 😂👍

SpiritOfVengeance

It's random and stupid in my opinion. Im fine with the champion requirements but they could of been implemented into something better.

MoeyTehr

Looks a visit to Quickmatch to grab a bunch of 2-star cinematic basic hero crystals is in order.

eagles1990

At least show us the strength of the opponents for each difficulty. I need to know if I should spend these next few days ranking up some 2 and 3 stars.

Mathking13

Well, I'm definitely pretty set when it comes to the Epic Difficulty; I've got at least 1 2* champ of each class somewhere in Rank 4. just will need to max some of my 2* champs...
Seriously this is an interesting concept

Crooked_Sprook1

Can we please get an approximate PI of the mobs and bosses in the master and epic rooms pls? Is it similar to gwenpool?

Brainimpacter

pretty sure you dont need a team full of 2* to take in, just need maybe 1 in your team with various other star ratings of a certain class
could be wrong but thats how i read it in the other thread in announcement category forum

I fail to see how any part of the event could be reasonably characterized as "random." I mean, it is a month long event with seven different missions requiring the six different classes in the game emphasizing the lower 2* and 3* champions. All of those design choices seem either deliberate (such as the choice to focus on lower tier champions) or forced (working around the six existing classes or the number of days in a calendar week), none are arbitrary.

These sound an interesting variant on the 'Trials of' Format we've seen before. A few questions that don't seem to be covered:

1 - How many danger rooms can we run per day? I'm guessing one entry per difficulty level, but can we go through more than one difficulty level per day? We could only do one Trial per day; but clearly will have to do different levels for the different Uncanny Passes.

2 - Energy costs: are there any?

3 - Presumably there will be some crazy nodes? Any heads-up on these? Are they predictable or random? Anything?

Thanks - looking forwards to your answers, and to trying out the Danger Room.

Only one room per day

I'm more worried about the 3*s. I didn't really know what I was doing when I was in 3* land so while blind luck got me maxed AA, Iceman and Magik, the rest of my leveled up 3*s are the likes of Civil Warrior, Kamala Khan, Moon Knight, Netflix Daredevil and Colossus.

GroundedWisdom

I'm looking forward to it. It seems fun. Every once in a while, it's nice to take some pressure off and just enjoy an Event.

IanMoone

Im sticking to heroic.master.epic...3 rooms is enough not to mention playing 3 difficulties of event quest as it is which translate too much work lol

NoOnexRO

Thank you for the heads-up, at least we have a few days to upgrade the required heroes.

Championcritic

If you want to impose character requirements kabam, then you should make the qwenpool 1v1 quickmatch crystals permanent so that people if they so choose can farm sig levels using those crystals.

2☆ champs ... in Master but against 4☆ ?

IF the Epic quest is like the difficulty on the Gwenpool goes to the movies event, will be really easy to do it with 3* tho

The amount of 5 star shard would be 4800.
50+100=150 from master and epic for 6 days a week. Thats 900. Plus 100+200=300 for uncanny day for master and epic. Thats 1200 per week. For 4 weeks you get 4800 shards.

I've calculated all rewards player can get through all rooms, excluding Uncanny rooms player can enter through Tickets he gets from Alliance Event.

Cash grab... Congratulations, you have to rank up the crappy champions that you would never, under any circumstances use in any other game mode. So. Enough they are going to have requirements to use a tech champ against a lineup of Spiderman champions (hint: there are no tech champions with a mechanic to deal with evade champs). I'm sorry but this champion requirements thing is an awful idea and every single one of you that supports it now when they use it against you later to dig into your child's college fund remember, you were warned...

Werewrym

Can we get any information on how many fights there are? It would be quite useful for us to know this as this will most likely be the determining factor for many of us who don't know if the rewards are worth the time commitment.

First of all, 3* and 2* don’t require cash to upgrade ... secondly u don’t need AAR necessarily to counter evade. Plenty of people use sparky against beefed up spiderman all the time ... might a good time to practice your skills more and cry less

Sounds like it could be interesting.

Remember, I wasn’t counting Uncanny in the total breakdown since we don’t yet know how many passes will be available from the alliance and solo events. And also remember they said the regular/gifted danger rooms will also be running on day 7 as well. So 50+100 for 7 days a week for 4 weeks, which equals 4,200.
