19.1.1 is a small release to help determine the cause of a problem that occurs in the tutorial for a new player. It is not a necessary update for any of our players that are not starting a new Account.
Version 20.0 is coming your way on September 5th! Here's everything you can look forward to:
X-Men: Class Omega
Though the Cabal’s emergence has given criminals a place to call home, numerous other factions and groups are looking for a banner under which to unite. In order to rally mutantkind to a singular cause, the telepath Emma Frost has appeared with the illustrious Omega Institute, designed to bring out the true potential in mutants.
So far so good, but Beast and Bishop have some reservations given Frost's checkered history and want to get a closer look. Is this just a school for helping the mutants, or is there something more under the surface? Join their investigation to see what is lingering inside of the Omega Academy.
Danger Rooms
Summoners who are up to the task can now participate in Danger Rooms. Prove your skills each day with new Champion Requirements which will modify what Champions you’re allowed to bring into a quest. Can you win the fights before you with a team of a single class? Earn Passes throughout the week to enter the UNCANNY Danger Room on the final day and earn much greater rewards.
Alliance Quest Season 5
Dormammu’s Dominion ends, and Kingpin’s Conclave takes its place! Major improvements have been made to the Alliance Quest. Read all about them here.
- Alliance Leadership can now select the number of Battlegroups they wish to play at the start of each Alliance Quest.
- Battlegroup Map choice allows different Battlegroups to play different Alliance Quest Maps, so Alliances with different types of players can still enjoy Alliance Quests together!
- Each Map now has a cost per Battlegroup instead of a total cost for 3 Battlegroups to better facilitate different Map choices for different Battlegroups!
- Randomized Buffed enemies keep things fresh from week-to-week. In order to keep the playing field level, all Alliances will see the same randomization as all other Alliances, and any randomized enemy will no longer be hidden on the Map to allow you to plan your Alliance Quest team!
- In addition to randomized enemies, all-new encounters across all Maps will shake things up alongside an all new boss: Kingpin!
- New difficulty scaling raises the ceiling on difficulty for the most powerful Alliances, but also yield more points to coincide with the addition of new Peak Milestones
- New Season 5 Map Crystals offer increased rewards for Summoners’ efforts!
- More Tier 2 Alpha availability in Ranked rewards will allow Summoners to Rank Up their top Champions more quickly!
Features:
- Introducing Champion Requirements: Quests can now have specific requirements that denote what Champions a player must bring in order to access the content - These can be tagged by Class, Rarity, Type, etc.
- Check out the X-Men: Danger Room Event for the first example of this!
- You can now scroll on Rewards Screens, allowing us to display more Rewards!
- Mystic Dispersion now only triggers when a Buff on the Opponent is Nullified or Expires (specifically meaning the Buff lasts its full duration).
- Dexterity no longer triggers a Precision Buff if one is already active. The Precision Buff now converts to one with a short duration after landing a hit. The length of the duration scales depending on how many ranks are active in Dexterity. Bug Fixes:
- Made adjustments to Domino's double hit Medium Attack to prevent Champions from releasing their block too early, bringing it in line with other Champions' double hit attacks.
- Improved Red Skull’s ability to successfully land his Sp2 after finishing a combo with a Medium attack
- Fixed an issue where Ghost would not gain a Precision buff from her Sp1 if her attack was blocked or didn’t make contact.
- Improved Domino’s ability to successfully land her Sp2 after finishing a combo with a Medium attack
- Fixed an issue where Hela would lose Temporary Fury effects faster than intended when decreasing from 7 stacks to 3 stacks
- Clarified Heimdall’s Synergies by adding text to correctly label which are Unique Synergies
- Fixed an issue where Rogue and Loki were not able to “Steal” Heimdall’s Aptitude Buff
- Spider-Man (Classic) has been added to Doctor Octopus’s Nemesis Synergy
- Added text to Hulk’s Ability Description to Clarify that only Fury Buffs increase his Stun Duration
Version 20.0.1 is a Hot Fix release that addresses a possible infinite load issue during the tutorial of the game. This is not a required update for any existing players, and will only affect new players.
v20.1 will be available on October 1st! Read on to learn about this exciting update!
Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer
Doctor Strange has not been seen since the events of the Infinity War left him without his mystical powers. Guillotine has not been seen since well before then. The Battlerealm has been unusually quiet, with whispers of a stirring presence emerging in the darkness of the unknown regions… The mysterious force doesn’t take long to show itself: A Sorcerer Supreme from a different dimension seeking more power and with far less prudence opened their prison and willingly bonded with a Symbiote, imprisoned long ago in the Forbidden Territories by The Grandmaster. Help Guillotine, Doctor Strange, and unlikely ally Venom take down the Symbiotic Sorcerer in BLOOD AND VENOM: SYMBIOMANCER!
Occult Laboratory
Dark experiments in symbiote evolution fused with forbidden magics have paved the way to the great power wielded by the Symbiote Supreme. Now, the foul magister has created several bases from which he plans to expand his dark influence over The Battlerealm. Dismantle his evil establishments and the corrupt denizens, but beware the multitude of unpredictable buffs that he will use to oppose you! The power of the Randomizer will allow you a chance to re-roll buffs on your opponents, but be wary you do not make them stronger!
My Little Symbiote
Trailing the symbiote invasion, a horrifying new group of creatures has invaded The Contest! The Grandmaster has tasked Summoners with the role of caretaker for these Summoned Symbioids. While initially humble, Summoners who track down limited Klyntar Katalysts in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest will find great potential in the creatures. Additionally, Klyntar Strands found in the Occult Laboratory and Symbiomancer quests can be used to purchase special Boost items called “Enhancements.” These Enhancements will temporarily transform the Symbioid into a formidable opponent, allowing Summoners potential to tackle harder quest difficulty. These Enhancements will ONLY be active when in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest. To highlight the Summoned Symbioid’s potential, we will temporarily be adding a Symbiote difficulty level to the monthly event quest, where we will test your usage of the Summoned Symbioid’s unique powers against fights built specifically with its boosts in mind!
Be forewarned: The power of both the Summoned Symbioid and the Enhancements is limited. Come the end of the event, the Enhancements will vanish, and the Symbioid will return to parts unknown! Summoners who add the Summoned Symbioid to their team will be granted the special title ‘Hospitable Host.’ Prepare yourself; the Symbioids are on their way!

It’s a royal rumble without compare in The Contest when the Grandmaster suddenly re-emerges and invites any and all contenders to take on his mightiest fighter in single combat. Amidst the showmanship and boasting, the Collector reveals himself to the Summoner and Heroes with a warning: As is often the case with the Greatest Gamesman, all is not as it seems with his challenge. Finding themselves once more warily allied with the Collector, the Elder regales them with a story of how this threatening brawler came to be. Together, they seek a single fighter capable of assisting the Summoner in trouncing the Grandmaster’s gladiator: The original victor of THE CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS.

The power vacuum created by Thanos’ defeat lingers still. Despite their best efforts, the Super Heroes of The Contest, led by the survivors of the Infinity War, have been unable to keep a handle on crime sweeping The Battlerealm.

A collection of malevolent super-geniuses who have taken over control of the Black-ISO Mafia and other criminal organizations in The Battlerealm.

X-Men: Class Omega
Though the Cabal’s emergence has given criminals a place to call home, numerous other factions and groups are looking for a banner under which to unite. In order to rally mutantkind to a singular cause, the telepath Emma Frost has appeared with the illustrious Omega Institute, designed to bring out the true potential in mutants.
So far so good, but Beast and Bishop have some reservations given Frost's checkered history and want to get a closer look. Is this just a school for helping the mutants, or is there something more under the surface? Join their investigation to see what is lingering inside of the Omega Academy.
Danger Rooms
Summoners who are up to the task can now participate in Danger Rooms. Prove your skills each day with new Champion Requirements which will modify what Champions you’re allowed to bring into a quest. Can you win the fights before you with a team of a single class? Earn Passes throughout the week to enter the UNCANNY Danger Room on the final day and earn much greater rewards.
Alliance Quest Season 5
Dormammu’s Dominion ends, and Kingpin’s Conclave takes its place! Major improvements have been made to the Alliance Quest. Read all about them here.
- Alliance Leadership can now select the number of Battlegroups they wish to play at the start of each Alliance Quest.
- Battlegroup Map choice allows different Battlegroups to play different Alliance Quest Maps, so Alliances with different types of players can still enjoy Alliance Quests together!
- Each Map now has a cost per Battlegroup instead of a total cost for 3 Battlegroups to better facilitate different Map choices for different Battlegroups!
- Randomized Buffed enemies keep things fresh from week-to-week. In order to keep the playing field level, all Alliances will see the same randomization as all other Alliances, and any randomized enemy will no longer be hidden on the Map to allow you to plan your Alliance Quest team!
- In addition to randomized enemies, all-new encounters across all Maps will shake things up alongside an all new boss: Kingpin!
- New difficulty scaling raises the ceiling on difficulty for the most powerful Alliances, but also yield more points to coincide with the addition of new Peak Milestones
- New Season 5 Map Crystals offer increased rewards for Summoners’ efforts!
- More Tier 2 Alpha availability in Ranked rewards will allow Summoners to Rank Up their top Champions more quickly!
Features:
- Introducing Champion Requirements: Quests can now have specific requirements that denote what Champions a player must bring in order to access the content
- These can be tagged by Class, Rarity, Type, etc.
- Check out the X-Men: Danger Room Event for the first example of this!
- You can now scroll on Rewards Screens, allowing us to display more Rewards!
- Mystic Dispersion now only triggers when a Buff on the Opponent is Nullified or Expires (specifically meaning the Buff lasts its full duration).
- Dexterity no longer triggers a Precision Buff if one is already active. The Precision Buff now converts to one with a short duration after landing a hit. The length of the duration scales depending on how many ranks are active in Dexterity.
Bug Fixes:
- Made adjustments to Domino's double hit Medium Attack to prevent Champions from releasing their block too early, bringing it in line with other Champions' double hit attacks.
- Improved Red Skull’s ability to successfully land his Sp2 after finishing a combo with a Medium attack
- Fixed an issue where Ghost would not gain a Precision buff from her Sp1 if her attack was blocked or didn’t make contact.

Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer
Doctor Strange has not been seen since the events of the Infinity War left him without his mystical powers. Guillotine has not been seen since well before then. The Battlerealm has been unusually quiet, with whispers of a stirring presence emerging in the darkness of the unknown regions… The mysterious force doesn’t take long to show itself: A Sorcerer Supreme from a different dimension seeking more power and with far less prudence opened their prison and willingly bonded with a Symbiote, imprisoned long ago in the Forbidden Territories by The Grandmaster. Help Guillotine, Doctor Strange, and unlikely ally Venom take down the Symbiotic Sorcerer in BLOOD AND VENOM: SYMBIOMANCER!
Occult Laboratory
Dark experiments in symbiote evolution fused with forbidden magics have paved the way to the great power wielded by the Symbiote Supreme. Now, the foul magister has created several bases from which he plans to expand his dark influence over The Battlerealm. Dismantle his evil establishments and the corrupt denizens, but beware the multitude of unpredictable buffs that he will use to oppose you! The power of the Randomizer will allow you a chance to re-roll buffs on your opponents, but be wary you do not make them stronger!
My Little Symbiote
Trailing the symbiote invasion, a horrifying new group of creatures has invaded The Contest! The Grandmaster has tasked Summoners with the role of caretaker for these Summoned Symbioids. While initially humble, Summoners who track down limited Klyntar Katalysts in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest will find great potential in the creatures. Additionally, Klyntar Strands found in the Occult Laboratory and Symbiomancer quests can be used to purchase special Boost items called “Enhancements.” These Enhancements will temporarily transform the Symbioid into a formidable opponent, allowing Summoners potential to tackle harder quest difficulty. These Enhancements will ONLY be active when in the Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer quest. To highlight the Summoned Symbioid’s potential, we will temporarily be adding a Symbiote difficulty level to the monthly event quest, where we will test your usage of the Summoned Symbioid’s unique powers against fights built specifically with its boosts in mind!
Be forewarned: The power of both the Summoned Symbioid and the Enhancements is limited. Come the end of the event, the Enhancements will vanish, and the Symbioid will return to parts unknown! Summoners who add the Summoned Symbioid to their team will be granted the special title ‘Hospitable Host.’ Prepare yourself; the Symbioids are on their way!

BRAWL IN THE BATTLEREALM
It’s a royal rumble without compare in The Contest when the Grandmaster suddenly re-emerges and invites any and all contenders to take on his mightiest fighter in single combat. Amidst the showmanship and boasting, the Collector reveals himself to the Summoner and Heroes with a warning: As is often the case with the Greatest Gamesman, all is not as it seems with his challenge. Finding themselves once more warily allied with the Collector, the Elder regales them with a story of how this threatening brawler came to be. Together, they seek a single fighter capable of assisting the Summoner in trouncing the Grandmaster’s gladiator: The original victor of THE CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS.
