Update: AW Season 24 [Updated: January 21, 2021]

Update: Jan. 21, 2021

4) Link Nodes:
Going into Season 24 we’ll be removing all link nodes except for the one attack to the boss from mini-boss island. We hope this will let players have an easier time coordinating and getting through the map in a timely manner.


Summoners! With AW Season 24 looming ahead, we bring exciting AW Tactics updates which we think might make any of your… Stubborn... concerns a thing of the past... This and more! See below for details.

ALLIANCE WAR TACTICS

Tactic Updates:

1) Starting with the latest Tactic additions listed below, we will begin pairing both Attack and Defense Tactics with custom Champion pools using Alliance War Tags.

(i) When introducing new Tactics to Alliance Wars, affected Champions will gain a new Alliance War Tag that can be found on their info page and sorted by when filtering your Champion roster by Tag. New Alliance War Tags are focused on balancing out the power and difficulty of Tactics.

- We’ll be phasing out the use of original Tags over time (#Metal, #Defensive, #Villains, #Size: L & #Size: XL, #Control, #X-Men & #Mercenaries)

(ii) New Tactics will be focusing on mid-high tier champs and intentionally exclude the strongest Defenders. We've found that Champions like Doctor Doom, Thing, and Korg are strong regardless of Tactic. We're aiming to help Champions that are decent on their own but shine with a tactic rather than push the strongest even further.

2) Stubborn has been replaced with the following:

(i) Defense Tactic (AW: Regenerator):

- If the Defender is #AW: Regenerator, whenever they trigger a Regeneration effect they also trigger up to {0} Power Gain Passive(s), granting {1}% of their Max Power over {2} second(s). This Power Gain is removed when the Defender is Heal Blocked, and will not trigger in the first 1 second(s) of the fight.

- #AW: Regenerator Champions: Angela, Blade, Cable, Darkhawk, Diablo, Green Goblin, Guillotine 2099, Howard The Duck, Iron Man, King Groot, Magik, Man-Thing, Mephisto, Mysterio, Namor, Punisher 2099, Red Hulk, Sabretooth, Mister Sinister, Sorcerer Supreme, Ultron, Ultron (Classic), Wolverine and Old Man Logan

(ii) Attack Tactic (AW: Damage Over Time):

- If the Attacker is #AW: Damage Over Time, while the Defender has {1} or more Damaging Debuffs on them, they are Passively Heal Blocked.

- AW: Damage Over Time Champions: Black Panther, Black Widow (Deadly Origin), Blade, Carnage, Elsa Bloodstone, Gwenpool, Hit-Monkey, Hulkbuster, Hyperion, Iceman, Killmonger, Masacre, Medusa, Mole Man, Namor, Nebula, Night Thrasher, Old Man Logan, Ronin, Sasquatch, Squirrel Girl, The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, Tigra, Venom

3) Updated Pool

Since AW: Regenerator presents a Power Control challenge, we’re swapping out Flow for Bulwark as we want our 3 Tactics to focus on different mechanics. Our new pool is:

(i) AW: Regenerator /AW: Damage Over Time
(ii) Bulwark
(iii) Protect

4) Link Nodes:

Going into Season 24 we’ll be removing all link nodes except for the one attack to the boss from mini-boss island. We hope this will let players have an easier time coordinating and getting through the map in a timely manner.
