Infinity Stones have been added to Placement rewards
Starting at S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 6, players can earn the Infinity Stone of the current season as a Rank 1 reward.
The rarity of the stone depends on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level you choose. For example, players at S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 6 receive a 1-Star Infinity Stone and players at S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 9 receive a 4-Star Infinity Stone.
So the only way to get an Infinity Stone is to place 1st in the season? Or will they be available through support tokens as well?
I’m sad to see that support tokens are only being awarded through top placement and not progression as well, as this restricts them to literally a handful of the upper echelon of players, people who dedicate an amount of time and money to this game that 99.99% of the player base simply can’t compete with.
I think character rebalances are announced in a separate thread prior to the start of the new season, but it’s been so long since we’ve gotten any that I’m no longer entirely sure if that’s still the standard practice.
As for your second and third questions, did you hear that this was a possibility somewhere?
Am I seeing this right? Supports, which can only be used in pve, are only rewarded to the top 1% in pvp. This doesn’t make any sense but at this point I guess it’s just par for the course. I honestly couldn’t be any more disappointed with this game lately.
I read it as though you earn a 1* infinity stone through placing well at scl6 and the star rarity increases as you increase the season scl. That would be awful if it is just awarded to the person placing first for the season
Surely they must be available elsewhere. They couldn’t have spent months redirecting all development resources to a new feature that can strictly only be enjoyed by a handful of people. I of course say this with a growing pit of horror and despair within me.

Glad to see more rolled out in terms of Supports and Red-ISO. I really am.
But the biggest details we need aren’t in this post. What Clearance Levels can earn Beginner/Advanced Supports and at what placement ranks?
I have no idea if this is good news or not because there’s nothing important stated here. And given that it takes SCL9 for top 25 in the entire season to get an Advanced Support token, it sounds an awful lot the vast majority of people will get nothing. I’m actually down for only being able to earn one Infinity Stone each season, makes them a cool and powerful collector’s item, but I’m worried the placement required will be so restrictive that only the high-end veterans and whales will ever have them.
Basically, we’re missing some info and it’s hard to tell if it’s something worth being excited about, or if it’s just a situation where the rich will get richer, and thus a disappointment.

okay… my official stance on supports is now officially, they are stupid, you should feel ashamed wasting resources adding them, and please don’t ever take away any of my 2* covers from vaults and other things for useless red iso on stuff I won’t use because of how stupid you are being with them lol.
I would much rather have a single 2* cover than 1k red iso at this point in time. and the fact that you can’t seem to grasp how poorly you are handling supports does not give me much hope for their future.
How many season brackets are there? A dozen? Maybe a purple of dozens max. So that less than 50 each season who will obtain the stones. Fairly rare and it will be the same bunch for at least 6 seasons (gotta get them all right?). Maybe forever, since they would still want the dupe for red iso.
