Yes, heroic events have limited characters available. Each day’s sub-event has additional characters available called “reinforcements”, previously, the reinforcements were only 3* & 2*.
Each sub-event within a Heroic event features an additional boosted character from 1-3*. It changes from sub to sub. They are now adding a bonus boosted 4* to each sub.
I was hoping the exact same thing. I wanted a true QOL improvement. We already hate heroics, so their idea of helping the players out is to make it ever so slightly less terrible. How about something that truly matters for the long run?! The game is notso perfect that something so minuscule can help propel us into the next year! This is all just the same old garbage, re-wrapped with a shiny bow. The changes they are making are complete tinykitty
the way I read this there will actually be 2 additional 4s available. the additional weekly boosted 4, and the 4* reinforcement. right? that will help a ton for those in 4* play deal with the scaling involved.
I’d still prefer not having the roster locked out at all, but I suppose additional reinforcements is the most I should have expected. Or I could hope number of 4 star reinforcements to be equal to 3 star reinforcements. Do we get 1 3 star reinforcement, or more than one?
the previous reinforcement per sub was one 1* one 2* and one 3*. theyre now modernizing the game by adding one 4* as well per sub. so basically an additional 1,2,3,4 per sub in addition to the weekly boosted list will be available as well as the 2,3, and 4* essentials. the main page nodes feature no reinforcements, just the subs themselves.
Not to mention that change only makes it slightly less terrible for people transitioning to 4* or higher (the people least likely to struggle with heroics because they have very large rosters). I’m not saying the change is bad, but is very lack luster and targeted at an audience that is least gimped by heroics.
And here was me thinking that preview page listed five 4s as a typo (Like, the event boosted 4 was accidentally added to the weekly boosted by mistake).
Glad to see this is a new feature =)
Gotta hate those weeks where they say “Here are the 4*s! And you don’t have any of them 8D”
All heroics are only 3 days long, but the boosted list lasts for 7 days. There is an unfortunate overlap in boosted and essential in the jugs heroic, but whatever event that comes after the heroic will still have nick fury boosted, including the 4* reward for the heroic.
Given how terrible the base characters are for that one, I’m thrilled to hear about the reinforcement. Not looking forward to an unaccelerated Nova trying to take out everyone.
