Marvel’s Avengers War Table Weekly Blog #23

4 February 2021

Welcome to our Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE Weekly Blog, where we’ll give you the scoop on news, patch notes, Marketplace updates, and more!

Happy February everyone! It’s crazy to think that we are already in the second month of the new year. We’re still calling it the new year, but at what point does the year lose its new-ness? Can we still call it the new year next month in March? April?

Also, we’d like to shoutout a talented member of the Marvel’s Avengers community, digital artist and graphic designer Rock Rider (Twitter: @ursRockRider)! He has made fantastic posters for all six of our launch heroes, as well as both Hawkeyes. Check out his Future Imperfect poster and more of his work on his page HERE!

MEGA HIVE

The Mega Hive is a single-player chain of eight missions that tests your team’s might. Each week you’ll have a shot at completing the Mega Hive mission chain. When you defeat all eight missions, the Mega Hive mission chain is removed from the War Table until the next weekly refresh, when you can run it again with new modifiers.

This week’s modifiers include:

Pressure: No automatic recovery of Willpower when critically injured.
Maelstrom: All heroics charge at a significantly increased rate. Entering critical health drains all Heroic energy.
Oasis: Regen Packs have increased Willpower benefit.
Goliath: Significantly increased presence of Exos.

Weekly Rewards: As you progress through the Mega Hive, rewards start as basic gear, resources, and small amounts of cosmetic currency. The more missions you survive, the more resource drops increase. As you near the final mission, you’ll see better gear and artifacts awarded more often, as well as increased chances for patterns/nameplates. When you complete all eight Mega Hive missions you’ll be rewarded with exclusive goodies reserved for this gauntlet, including a significant amount of high-quality resources

Modifiers are game changers! Check out some pro-tips from our team that will help you prepare for this week’s challenges!

Clash: When Clash is active, make sure to play a Hero who has strong melee abilities and equip gear high in the Might attribute. Don’t forget, enemies also inflict greater melee damage so watch out for combatants who try to get in close!
Maelstrom: Keeping Willpower high and utilizing Heroics soon after they’re ready is key to maximizing the benefits of the Maelstrom modifier. Focusing on gear that boosts the Resolve or Valor stats is also an effective strategy.
Famine: Focusing on Takedowns and careful usage of the regenerative nanite containers are key to survivability when Famine is active.

This week’s marketplace contains Iron Man’s new Iron Man 079 nameplate, as well as new color variants for Kate, Hulk, Black Widow, and Captain America. Additionally, Iron Man’s legendary Solaris outfit is back in the shop for those who previously missed it!

The Marketplace is a place for us to feature purchasable cosmetics in the form of Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates. The Marketplace’s Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary items rotate weekly, and can be purchased with Credits.
