Time After Time Event Quest

Summoners!

Kang the Conqueror has been travelling across Eras, attempting to disrupt key events! Join Cable and Bishop as they travel to different Eras of Marvel history to preserve their important events, and stop Kang from upsetting the temporal balance of the Battlerealm!

If You're Lost You Can Look and You Will Find Me...

This event runs for 4 weeks, with a new Chapter of the Quest unlocking every week (2 Chapters will be available Week 1). Each of the 5 Chapters will focus on a different era of Marvel Comics History: The Golden Age, The Silver Age, The Bronze Age, The Copper Age, and the Modern Age!

The Quests

Each Chapter consists of 5 Quests, each with 1 path that is gated behind a different Required Champion. The number of overall paths will increase with each Chapter, but there will only be 1 gated path per quest.

Don’t have the required Champions? Don’t worry! You can acquire them from featured Era Crystals or Grandmaster Featured Era Crystals, that start running the same week that the Chapters are unlocked, and run until the end of the entire event.

No luck with those crystals? Don’t worry! You’ll have plenty of chances to earn Unified Crystals that contain the required champions over the month!

Unified Crystals

Unified Crystals come in 2 varieties: Unified Crystals and Grandmaster Unified Crystals. These crystals only contain the Champions needed to pass the Champion Requirement Gates. The Unified Crystal will be available for 2000x Unified Crystal Shards, or you can spend 4000x Unified Crystal Shards for a Grandmaster Unified Crystal, if you are Uncollected or Cavalier.

From September 25th to October 2nd, a 2-Star Basic Unified Hero Crystal containing the required Champions will replace Versus Crystals in Quickmatch.

NOTE: These 2-Star Unified Basic Hero Crystals found in Quickmatch will only contain "Basic" versions of these Champions, which means that duplicating Champions will not award any Crystal Shards, but only the 1 Signature Level increase that 2-Star Champions gain from Duplication.

Where do I get Unified Crystal Shards?

In addition to getting Unified Crystal Shards from the Time After Time event, you can find Unified Crystal Shards in Milestone and Rank rewards for 2 new, limited-time only, 24 hour Solo Events!

Time Paradox Solo Event
Tear the fabric of time and space to fight yourself! Earn points by using any Champion to fight against the same Champion. Earn Bonus points for using a specific Champion from that Era of the week.

This event will run on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Mondays, and Tuesdays starting at 10am PT.

Gold Spend Solo Event
This one is simple! Spend Gold to earn points! This event will be run on Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 10am PT.

The Rewards

This Event, and all of the events surrounding it, are all about celebrating 80 Years of Marvel characters, and we’re doing that by loading the rewards up with Champion Crystals!

First, let’s take a look at the rewards you can receive if you fully explore all 4 Difficulties:

Now, for each Difficulty:

This event kicks off on September 4th, and will last until October 2nd! You must update to the latest version of the game to take part!

Note: Unified Crystals will continue to be available for 1 week after the end of the event, so you can spend any unused Shards on them after the event closes, but will not be able to earn any more.

Go forth, Summoners, and stop Kang the Conqueror!

One of the most disappointing aspects for me was the inconclusive story - you spend all this time hunting Kang, end up with Void.. and then nothing further is said after the fight, just a rewards screen : /

On a positive note I got a 5* Sinister from the crystal, so thanks for that.

I thought the exact same thing. Not even a teaser afterwards. Also please never do an event with this setup again. The champ gates are annoying and serve no real purpose. The extra paths on later chapters are tedious (keep 2/3 paths throughout and increase energy consumption).

I have to agree. I go out of my way to read the stories since someone's spent time reading them. And this one was disappointing.

In the end, it's not a big deal. My bigger gripes is how tedious the last 2 chapters have been (it's pretty much a much crummier Gwenpool goes to the movies). It's so time consuming, that doing more than one (maybe 2) to try to farm the shards is pretty much out

Inconclusive endings to event stories are nothing fresh though. You get that with this month's main event. You fight Claire and.... what? nothing, that's what.

I will say the basic concept of this event is a good one, using Bishop and Cable time-travelling to explore the eras of Marvel history with the characters from each era as the opponents, but it's definitely let down by the fact that more routes per quest, five quests per era adds up to a slog and several fights against the same opponents in eras makes it seem repetitive. (Made worse if you not only have to fight the same boss 5 times but the fight before the boss twice because of the way the routes end) Character gates as a concept is all well and good, but not when using characters that have been released in the past 8 to 10 months that not everyone's going to have got and then being forced to grind 1v1 for the sake of one blipping character is even worse.

Overall, B+ could be better.

It's possible there's a continuation to the story. No idea if that's the case, just saying.

If this was in response to me, how exactly did Void inflict those debuffs?

You said you had suicides. Void deals passive damage on you for every debuff on you. Void doesn't have to land those debuffs, he generates passive damage on you regardless of the source of the debuffs.

SpiderGwen TAT Target pls

I feel like I am forcing myself to finish epic. This quest feels way too long and is crushing my soul. I'm not even going to attempt to finish master because I would likely go insane.

Yeah I think everyone is in agreement that this quest was probably too long. I'm forcing myself to do all the difficulties only because I want as many shots a 5* heroes as possible.

Who is a good counter for Killmonger?
I am working on Chapter 5 (Modern Age) Master Mode.

I have a small roster of 5* (Iceman, Havok, IronMan (OG), Vision, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Unstoppable Colossus, Juggernaut, Angela, Spidergwen, Luke Cage, Iron Patriot, and Agent Venom). Not all are beyond Rank 1 or Rank 2.

Magrailothos

I'm going to echo the thought above that there should have been a conclusion. The story was - in its entirety - chasing down Kang for twenty chapters; so it was pretty disappointing not to ever catch up with him, even in a cutscene.

Aside from that, Good job - I think it's sustained my interest pretty well; and the rewards seemed okay for the effort.

GroundedWisdom

Well....pulled Thing so....I'm happy. In spite of the stress. XD

Werewrym

Well....pulled Thing so....I'm happy. In spite of the stress. XD

Wow that's huge... He's the only one I want out of that crystal. Got about 50 of the GM Unified crystals and I'm waiting until the end of the event to pop them all along with the 5* unified crystal, hopefully my luck is as good as yours.

LeNoirFaineant

Well....pulled Thing so....I'm happy. In spite of the stress. XD

Wow. Congrats

GroundedWisdom

Thanks. I was expecting a Dup of one I wasn't too keen on, hoping for Sinister. I'll take Thing, though. I have HT at R3 too, so the Synergy will be interesting.

GroundedWisdom

I'm waiting for the Market to get back online. Would be amazing if I pull Sue from the Featured. I'd love to have all the F4 Champs sometime.

TheTalents

I got a new 5 star champion out of the event as well. No complaints from me lol.

Will this event be extended by a day to end with the Arena and Shard Rewards from the (final?) Time Paradox Use? There are a few people I know who are missing one specific champion (Ghost and Thing seem to be the most common), and this has also been posted several times on Reddit as well, with players being unable to 100% all 4 difficulties due to one missing champion (or more for other players). While unlikely, the solo event ranking shards, or the current Arena milestone score crystals or 1v1 versus crystal might give them the specific champion they need to 100% the maps.

It just seems odd to end it without giving those players one last opportunity to use all of the shard crystals, Arena crystals and potential Versus Crystals to finish one mode with a gate based around randomness. Arena ends tomorrow at 10 AM PST, and as well by that point the final rank rewards from the solo event will be in. It would be better for the community to end it then, as that is the final chance to gain these champions from a more filtered chance.

Ghost is not a champion required to 100% this, I would also like to point out that you can get 2 star versions in the 1v1 arena which has every champion you need and that was added last Wednesday, so they aren't gonna postpone it another day because they gave people a week to get the required champions in the 1v1 arena.

Papa_San

Just spent 750 units trying to acquire The Thing so I could finish the event quest on epic difficulty but ended up doing 98% exploration smh...this isn’t fair

SparkAlot

This has been a horrible event for me, 44 crystals, and I got 2 4*s and the rest 3*s.

Dr_Physico

What will happen to any leftover unified crystal shards? Will they just disappear, or maybe converted into premium hero crystal shards? (can't claim a full crystal with those 1850 leftover shards)
