Here’s word from Demiurge on the release of the new Champion Levels feature:
"Starting tomorrow, you can promote your max level Heroes into Champions. There are a few other things we would like to bring to your attention as well.
Champions and Champion Levels
You can level your Max Level Heroes past their max level.
Each Champion Level gives you a Reward.
Champions allow you to reallocate ability levels as many times as you want.
Ability Upgrade Purchases
You are no longer able to purchase Ability Level Upgrades with Hero Points.
Command Points can be used to purchase Ability Level Upgrades for 3 and 4-Stars (20 and 120 respectively).
Character Attribute Updates
Sam Wilson (Captain America) has seen an update to his ability values. For example, Sam Wilson’s powers have gotten 40% better at base level.
3 and 4-Star Hero powers have been adjusted. Powers are stronger at lower levels, slightly weaker at medium levels and unchanged at Max Level.
2-Star Characters have had their health adjusted above level 94 to better balance them against each other.
As part of the championing balance changes 2, 3 and 4-star characters will see a slight difference in match damage and health."
We’ll have additional info on many of these topics available soon. We hope you enjoy your new Champions!
Switching from Hero Points to Command Points to upgrade 4s is such bull crap. It already cost $100 to whale a 4 (which itself is already ridiculous), but moving to CP increases that a ton
It’ll be nice to see what the FalCap buff looks like. I’d still rather see his blue revamped into an active that combines some of its current effects with a more Cap-like stun.
The 2, 3, and 4* changes just don’t have enough info to comment on yet.
^ this.. Token packs are going to be HUGE with championing.. i see myself snagging a 40 pack occasionally.. just to add levels to champions, even 2*s, plus the guarentee’d LT, yes pls. All the CP from championing will go towards covers.
So…buying covers. Used to be 1250 hp for a 3* or about $10 in hp. Now 20 cp or about $300 worth of cp. Used to be 2500 hp or $20 for a 4* cover. Now 120 cp or about $1700. Mark up of 3000% for a 3* and 8500% for a 4*. Awesome upgrade! I hope I can go pay $300 for a gallon of gas tomorrow or $1000 for milk, too! Thanks guys!
So HP will only be used for roster slots, shields, cover packs, and the odd boost or health pack?
That seems really counter intuitive for the whales who like to buy covers after a new release. Does that mean they have to resort to buyer’s clubs at much higher cost to get covers?
The only covers I’ve ever bought were two Iron Fist Purples about half a year ago or so but I feel like that really messes with anyone who liked buying the new characters who aren’t the few exclusive mega whales sitting on multiple copies of 5*s who have stockpiles of CP and don’t know what to do with it.
They did remove one or at least made it more expensive and even more reliant on luck. With one day’s notice - after a sale. I know a lot of people who bought HP during the sale to buy covers who are going to be surprised tomorrow.
