by Gary Catig

Recently, we received a tease of what Marvel Contest of Champions has in store for the future from Community Manager Michael Recchia. We have learned some specifics with the news of the latest update.

First off, Agatha Harkness is the newest character to join the contest. In addition, both Spider-Man Symbiote and Cable receive some reworks. The reworked Cable becomes available starting 4th August, Agatha Harkness can be obtained beginning 13, and the reworked Spider-Man Symbiote is available starting 27th August. Agatha features in her own Event Quest called “Maiden Mother, Crone” which lasts until 5th August.

The “Revenge of Legends” event begins later this month. It starts with new permanent Challenge content that can be defeated each week to earn maximum rewards. Phase 1 runs from August 12-September 9 and entails the following:

  • Revenge of Legends Quest: An inversion of the Realm of Legends. Face down multiple weeks of punishing fights and challenging Champions to show that The Summoner is truly the most epic force within The Battlerealm. This full Quest will take place over several weeks, with only its final week’s challenge remaining after this month is over. So Summoners will want to rush to this Boss Fight if they want to play the full (and challenging) experience.
  • Retribution of Legends Side Quest: Over four weeks, players will face down the hardest challenges The Contest has to offer, but will be given the upper hand via custom Nodes to ensure this battle feels truly triumphant, not purely punishing. Keep up the fight to earn a free Ronan and take out the final defenders.
  • Revenge of Legends Realm Event: Defeat opponents in the Revenge of Legends Quest or Retribution Side Quest.
  • Bonus! Defeat a Retribution opponent with a Saga Champion, defeat the final boss in the Retribution of Legends Side Quest, complete a Revenge or Retribution Quest Objective, complete a Target Dummy Objective Tier, and complete the “Revenge is…” or “A Dish Best Served Cold” objectives.

The second phase runs from August 26-September 9 with Hero Shard Arenas, Arena Solo events, a 7-Hour Login Crystal reward, new Battlepass, exclusive player profile pics, and emotes.
