Gather Intel in Nick Fury's Recon Initiatives

Begin Transmission…

Summoners!

The Battlerealm is full of countless Allies and Enemies, and Nick Fury wants to know everything about all of them! Join him in a month long Event to gather Intel on the Champions of the Battlerealm!

Assist Nick Fury in gathering Intel, and trade that Intel for rewards such as Catalyst Fragments, Crystal Shards, and Hero Crystals! Assist him in all of his recon missions, and you’ll have enough Intel to trade for a 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal!

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it…

Over the next 4 weeks, we will introduce 1 Quest per week with 5 different Difficulty Levels. Each of these Quests is only 2 paths, with a buffed up Boss at the end!

Easy right? Here’s where it gets interesting… Each of these Quests feature Champion Requirements, and each week your team will be limited to which Champions that you can bring in!

Champions will be limited based on their Universe Tags (which can be found on a Champion’s info page). This means each weekly Quest can only be completed with Champions of that Tag.

Week 1: Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy
Week 2: X-Men and X-Force
Week 3: Spider-verse Heroes, Sinister Six, and Symbiote
Week 4: Mercenaries and Robots

All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event, so you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

You'll need to complete harder difficulties to get more rewards, so make sure the Champions on your roster with those Tags are ready for a Challenge! We'll also be sending out another message each week outlining which Champions fall under said Tags.

For those of you that may need to expand your roster, special Crystals containing Champions that can enter these Quests will be available each week of the Event. Yes, that includes unreleased 2 Star Version of some of these Champions! This doesn’t include Champions who are not in the base pool, such as Deadpool, Goldpool, Havok, Ultron (Classic), Vision, or special rarity exclusives such as 4-Star Rhino or Cyclops, 5-Star Gamora or Thor.

If you’ve become Uncollected, a Grandmaster version of these Crystals will also be available. Make sure you check out the crystal descriptions to see exactly which Champions are included in these Crystals.

Knowledge is Power!

The task is great, but the rewards are greater! Use your Intel in the Store to purchase rewards to assist you in your own missions across The Contest!

You’ll find items such as Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments, 5-Star and 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards, Awakening Gem Crystals, 4-Star Hero Crystals, and much more!

While Intel will mostly only be available in Nick Fury’s Recon Initiatives, there will also be a Special Calendar that will award you a small amount for logging in every day! But don’t miss a single day, because if you do, you’ll be reset to Day 1!

Each of these items have purchase limits. Some, you’ll be able to purchase up to 20 times, while others you’ll only be able to purchase once.

For those that want to chase the 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal, you’ll need to complete every Difficulty of the event, and log in every day to claim your daily Intel from the Calendar! The Crystal costs 5000 Intel, and it’s only possible to get 5740 Intel from normal play.

This Message Will Self Destruct…

Nick Fury's Recon Initiative begins March 6, 10:00 AM PST. With a new Chapter releasing each Wednesday after that. All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event on April 3, 10:00 AM PDT. So you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

End Transmission.

EDIT: If you're curious as the list of Champions that you can use, check out this list here. But keep in mind, the Crystals will not contain all of these Champions. Make sure you check out the list of Champions in the Crystal before you purchase it!

I just hope it's not a Sinister with monster regen ability... or insane node of some sort.

Well, Mr Sinister is the boss for sure so you know it's gonna be something like that.
Week 3 boss Kingpin should be easy enough
Week 4 will be Nick Fury himself, but with EQ going on we should be used to him.

Week 2 starts on Wednsday?

BowTieJohn

Is week 2 available? If so I'm excited to see it and try it out.

BowTieJohn

A 4* awakened SW teamed with Vision (crit rate) and CAIW (energy damage when nullifying buffs) can be a great answer to Ultron.

Also awakened 4* Thor for sheer damage output; similarly, 4* awakened Hulk. I’m sure there are others that aren’t 5*’s, but those jump immediately to mind.

Dr. Zola
Don't forget Starlord. Keep that hit streak alive and Ultron can proc all the Arc Overload he wants but will only delay the inevitable.

So Starlord is a good counter for ultron. Nice I will try him in Master and see if I can at least get completion for Master mode which will be my first as I've had trouble with Master content with my current roster.

Any idea on how difficulty is placed? Will it be similar till the end or ramp up every week? Present one is too easy lol
GP event stayed the same. My guess is the difficulty will be the same throughout.

Gp event was much easier and they gave you the champs for free.. Plus you only had to use one of those champs and you could bring anyone else i think this is a whole new ball game

Ryanwhales

Great job! I love money! And i want to keep my money! Im a f2p! I actually am free to play, but i love "their" game. It does screw me up on crystals though.

Ryanwhales

It's like summoners are Deadpool during the Skrull invasion getting intel for Fury in Daniel Way's run! lol love it
Let's just hope Osborn doesn't come & steal the intel.. or let's..

He better not. I will die if he does.

They said it will be harder, and it is. But it's the same style quest. Some days may be more difficult if you don't have the champs but I'd be very surprised if the fights get progressively harder.

Has the beginner Intel mission been fixed?

CFree

Has the beginner Intel mission been fixed?

It was zero energy when I did it last week.

Thanks for letting me know!

“Week three is gonna be horrible!”

Oh hi, meet my venom and my symbiote supreme

Captain_Nietsch

Oh... I wish Cap WWII would be included as an Avenger. He is in the MCU after all the first Avenger.

MaatMan

Oh... I wish Cap WWII would be included as an Avenger. He is in the MCU after all the first Avenger.

oh yes... but the avengers were not around.... he is only refered to as the first avenger however that movie is the origin story of the Man that will become 'The First Avenger" he is not an avenger in that time period.

So I assuming week 2 is out today at 5 or 6pm I know act 6 is coming today also

I was hoping for no particular reason...

...other than that I happen to have him maxed out as a 4 star since way back, and not the other version of him. lol
And he's basically the same as "normal" cap America in almost every regard, except his looks here in MCOC, and after being frozen in ice a while he will eventually become the first Avenger.

I believe it will be out at 10:00 AM PST as the first week came out at that time. Then just plug that time into your time zone.

RunamokUSA

So will there be a new week of intel calendar or was the one week all she wrote?

This week is pretty decent for me for completion, but I can’t get past the sentinel for completion. Any tips? My only usable champs for this event are all mutants

I used Magik. Didn't even attempt using a mutant.

I guess I won’t be doing completion anytime soon. I guess it’s fine. I just got uncollected about a month ago, so epic completion is actually pretty good for me. Did it all with 4* champs too, Kabam. I’m sure better players than me can do act 6 without 5* champs

Dexman1349

@Fred_Joeity I did last week's Epic quest with 4* champs (starlord and Scarlet Witch).

Even this week used my 4* AA to take down Sinister.

Next week will be tricky because I only have a select few Spiderverse champs (and the ranked up ones are 4*)

Is there a reason why Beginner for Chapter 2 costs energy now, as opposed to 0 in Chapter 1? I’m not gonna lie, it did help with Combat solo events and if that was the reason, I guess logically it’ll be the right thing to stop going forward.

It was always supposed to cost energy, but the map was too big in week one so they made it zero energy just for that week

Ah! Thanks for clarifying, should’ve searched beforehand but found the thread, https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/126496/nick-furys-recon-initiatives-beginner-quest-1-changing-to-0-energy#latest

If it’s worth anything, it’s a good farm to grind combat and hero use events, found it satisfying to grind for a 10% boost within an hour!

The new look captain is not in the avengers, he is at the point a vigilante , I do like him but he is according to the movies he is not an avenger

Any tips, anyone?

should have a potion so i can turn my medusa to mutant for 20min
plz add
they added sentinel there and then set parameters to disallow sentinel killers, such a cash grab

I had to plow through with Storm. Thank God for Danger Rooms. Got the experience there.

GroundedWisdom

You can also use X-23 if you need to. The Cruelty comes in handy. It's going to be a tough Fight either way you look at it. His AI is pretty aggro.
