Explore Stable and Unstable Atlantean Rifts for Great Rewards!

Summoners!

Atlantean Rifts are coming to the Contest from June 5th to July 3rd!

Over the month, you can collect Atlantean Coral that you can use to open Stable and Unstable Atlantean Rifts by completing and exploring the Imperius Rex Event Quest on Normal to Uncollected Difficulty, achieving Rank and Milestone rewards in the Fantastic Four Champion Use Solo Event (don’t worry, there have been a lot of members of the Fantastic Four!), and in a special Login Calendar!

Four Tiers of Rifts

There are 4 Tiers of Atlantean Rifts, each with increasingly valuable rewards. A Tier 1 Atlantean Rift will include rewards such as Premium Hero Crystal Shards or Tier 2 Basic Catalyst Fragments, whereas a Tier 4 Atlantean Rift includes 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards or Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments.

You may remember that from a previous version of Rifts. But we’ve introduced something a little different this time. Each Tier of Rift has 2 different versions;

Stable Atlantean Rifts have closer percentages and more predictable rewards, while Unstable Atlantean Rifts are more risky, with a lower base reward but a greater potential prize.

Fantastic Four Champion Use Solo Events:

Each day, there will be a 24 hour “Fantastic Four Champion Use” Event. These events will give you points for using any of your Champions, but will choose a specific Champion that has taken on the mantle of a Fantastic Four member in the past, or is an important part of the Fantastic Four universe (like their villains).

Here’s the Point Breakdown:

And here’s the list of potential Champions that could be chosen at Random Daily:

Annihilus
Ant-Man
Black Panther
Diablo
Ghost Rider
Human Torch
Joe Fixit
Luke Cage
Medusa
She-Hulk
Spider-Man (Classic)
Storm
Thing
Wolverine

If you were to use the Specific Champion of the day, it would take less than 30 Fights to reach the Top Milestone that day.

For those not familiar with Rifts:

After you spend your Atlantean Coral to open an Atlantean Rift, you’ll have to enter a Random Portal and be transported to a mystery path! There, you can collect your reward before defeating enemies on your way out! When you open an Atlantean Rift, you’ll only have 1 Hour to defeat the final boss and collect your rewards, so make sure you can complete your Rift when you enter! If you quit or run out of time, all of your hard-earned rewards will be lost to the abyss!

If you are having trouble completing higher Tier Rifts, Atlantean Crystals will be arriving in the Contest starting on June 19th, and running until July 10th. For the same cost of Atlantean Coral as entering an Atlantean Rift, you can choose to open an Atlantean Crystal to get guaranteed rewards.

The rewards in both the Unstable and Stable Rifts will always be greater than if you open these Crystals, so only open one if you don’t think you can complete that difficulty!

How Much Coral does it cost to Open a Rift?

Opening a Rift Costs 10,000x Atlantean Coral of that Tier. Completing a Rift in Tiers 1-3 will reward you with 5,000x Coral for the next Tier Up. So, completing a Tier 1 Rift will give you your reward, and 5,000x Tier 2 Atlantean Coral.

For those who have reached the level of Uncollected (by completing Act 5 Chapter 2 and Level 40+) or higher, 10,000x of the first three Tiers of Atlantean Coral can be directly exchanged for 5,000x Atlantean Coral of the next Tier through the Featured Tab in the Store. If you choose to do this direct exchange, keep in mind that you will ONLY receive the Atlantean Coral. This is intended for late-game players who want to save time and Energy at the expense of not receiving rewards for the lower Tier Rifts.

What are the rewards for each Atlantean Rift?

Here we go… the Good stuff!

Remember! These are only around June 5th until July 3rd! Don't miss out!

Yeah, I'm a bit over Sigs after Last Stand. Lol. That's how it rolls, I guess.

OnlyOneAboveAll

What if we don't have some of the specific champs needed? Will there be a 2 star version of them available through 1vs1 arena like before?

I like the hero use event you added which can help us collect more items and units without having to do a ton of fights. Also being able to trade in shards for the next tier is very welcome as running rifts 1 and 2 (and maybe even 3) don’t seem worth the time and energy. Stable definitely looks better as I always get the worst choices in the rifts.

Yarg2015

Great job, looking forward to the event @Kabam Miike please pass on my regards to the dev and marketing teams

Lvernon15

Rewards look pretty sweet, I’m also so glad, I honestly can’t thank you enough for adding the shard exchange thing in the store, with 6.2 and probably having to do lower eq difficulties aswell I really didn’t want to have to do a bunch of low level rifts for 3 stars again, also glad there’s something now with a more than 1% chance at a 5* ag

IKON

The choice between stable and unstable rifts is legitimately tough, very good structure.

It’s a bit frustrating that the rewards for these events are random. Some people get great rewards and others don’t for the same grind, this store model seems to be a better way to go about rewards for these kinds of events in my opinion.

Yeah tbf, the Nick Fury Intel event was the best model, they should implement that with these side quests but standards have fallen so low that I am happy with a 5% chance at an Awakening Gem

Raganator

I was worried with the initial announcement of stable versus unstable (e.g., "Hey, you chose unstable and here is your 10k gold). I am happy to see that the differences are not even as extreme as the good versus bad in the Greater Last Stand crystals.

So here's a statistical comparison of tier 4 stable and unstable rifts, based on the posted drop odds.

Stable rift:

T2A: 10%
T5B: 0.5%
5* shards: 1500
6* shards: 150
5* sig levels: 1

Unstable rift:

T2A: 10%
T5B: 0.5%
5* shards: 1150
6* shards: 137.5
5* sig levels: 1
5* awakening gem: 5%

This is the statistical value of each crystal on average (in other words, in the long run each crystal will generate *all* of that cumulative value, although of course every individual crystal will only have one reward). This means that if you don't count the awakening gem, the unstable rifts actually have lower value than the stable rifts on average: 350 fewer 5* shards and 12.5 fewer 6* shards. Another way to look at it is that if you think 7000 5* shards and 250 6* shards combined are worth more than an awakening gem, the stable rifts are worth more. If you think the awakening gem is worth more, then the unstable rift is worth more.

This is of course only the statistical average value - and anyone who says odds don't work that way, I'll just preemptively state for the record you're confused or don't understand math now so I don't have to do it later. I say this because I think the devs might also be a little confused.

Stable Atlantean Rifts have closer percentages and more predictable rewards, while Unstable Atlantean Rifts are more risky, with a lower base reward but a greater potential prize.

That's technically true, but there's a problem. For example, let's look at 6* shards. Both crystals have a 20% chance to drop 6* shards, so we can compare apples to apples here. If you pull 6* shards, the stable crystal is going to drop 1000 half the time and 500 half the time. The unstable crystal is going to drop 250 three-quarters of the time and 2000 one-quarter of the time. In other words, for all the cases where 6* shards drop, the stable crystal is going to beat the unstable crystal 75% of the time, and 25% of the time the unstable crystal is going beat the stable crystal (because 250 is worse than anything the stable crystal can drop and 2000 is better than anything the stable crystal can drop in this specific circumstance). Technically, it is a true statement that for 6* shards the stable crystal has a better "base reward" (its always at least 500) and the unstable crystal has a chance for a higher reward.

But when we look at the average reward, we see that the stable crystal awards an average of 150 shards and the unstable crystal awards an average of 137.5 shards. In other words the game isn't rewarding the risk, it is penalizing the risk. This seems backwards. Whenever you take more risk, you generally should be getting more rewards on average. If the safest option is also the most rewarding in the long run, that makes taking risks nonsensical.

And then there's rewards like T2A where you really can't make that statement at all. The unstable crystal actually has the higher "base" reward, but it drops less often than the stable crystal. Meanwhile, the odds are reversed for 5* signatures stones. You could maybe combine the two rewards and say that the odds of pulling T2A or sig stones is 30%, and then the unstable crystal has a higher chance of dropping the lower value reward (sig stones) assuming you agree sig stones are worth less (which they are for most players), but now you're having to do a lot of mental gymnastics. They should have made the odds of dropping each *kind* of reward the same, and then had a greater chance for a lower value but also a small chance for a higher value in the unstable crystal.

Overall, I think the unstable crystal is *a little bit* more valuable than the stable crystal, but really if you have to do this much math to figure that out, I think you aren't really allowing players to make an informed choice. It should have been real simple: open the stable crystal and most of the time you would beat the unstable crystal. But open the unstable crystal and the higher rewards mean that on average you would get more stuff. But you have to take the chance that you don't get unlucky. That's an easy choice to present to players. The crystals obfuscate that choice to a ridiculous degree in my opinion.

How much tier 4 Riffs are possible?

Old one I opened 4 times

Vegeta9000

Going to be dodging unstable rifts, 500 shards is a joke, worst reward in both tier 4 rifts, and its the one youre most likely to get 😂

Edit: Stable rifts look better across the board actually, you have chance to get more 5/6* shards in unstable and you get more sig stones 🤷🏼‍♂️ I get enough t2a / t5b weekly enough to tide me over anyways, so Would i risk it to get 500 5* shards more often than not to potentially 0.0000001% of a chance at a 5* Gem. Nah.

EarthElite

@Kabam Miike What is the difficulty for each tier, hope it's not too hard

Ch1efster

Yes, minimum 5* shards there should be 1000. They really did mean low floor for the unstable rifts.

Skillful_star

I am sorry but how difficult will the t4 rifts be? I wasn't here for the previous round so if anyone can fill me in on the level,like if it's on the level of master,uncollected...etc
I would really appreciate it,thank you.

Good timing. I had the same question.

It’s early, but I wanna say props to the game team for this. I was critical of the last stand crystals, especially after the awesome month of bounties. This is a good setup.

DNA3000

And what about collosus its been crickets since the vote ...... and I'm going all or nothing and hoping for the best ......

It has been less than a month since the vote. Realistically speaking I wouldn't expect to hear anything about that for at least another month or two minimum.

GroundedWisdom

To be fair, they did specify that they don't know when it will happen, and it might be close to the Fall.
