Pvps were combined arms, balance of power and (I think) starfall. and this was back when sentry was completely dominant in pvp. The only crappy thing about the anniversary week season is that the 10-pack of anniversary token reward required 3k season score (so 1k per event). That’s more than the twice the score necessary to get the 10-pack in regular seasons.
Pve’s that week were Deadpool v. MPQ and then (I think) venom heroic. And as I recall that heroic was shockingly easy because everyone was grinding pvp for the season rewards.
LRs were the 20-person brackets with a max-cover loaner 4* thor.
And the anniversary tokens had great drop rates. I think they were slightly better than average heroic tokens, but then they had a few extra rewards included: a 2* reward for 7k ISO, a 3* rewards for many thousands of iso, a 3* reward for about 1k HP, and a 4* rewards for many thousands of HP.
In addition to all that, they dropped Dino at around 15%. All told, there was slightly under a 40% chance of a worthwhile reward from any given anniversary token.
There were a few hiccups. I think the first couple of events rewarded anniversary tokens, but the next round of events didn’t (apparently someone at demiurge entered the wrong rewards for the event). Their compensation was to add anniversary token rewards to the LRs (top 5 in each bracket and at 500 total points).
That was my first (and now only) real opportunity to play 4* thor in meanginful matches in pre-nerf state. She was a lot of fun, but I could also see that the charged tile mechanic was potentially game breaking.
Also, everything was in black & white, with a film grain effect applied. And all the sounds effects were replaced with text cards, like an old silent picture!
i wish there were a weekly balance of power event thats my favorite one. if there is ever a daily pvp this needs to be it
Balance of power is a fun change of pace (it’s nice to be reminded just how awesome OBW is level for level), but it would be repetitive every week. I can only enjoy headbutting everyone (and being headbutted) into oblivion so often.

Anniversary tokens had an approximate 40% drop rate of 3 and 4 star prizes (including big HP and Iso drops), which was vastly superior to the standard 16.4% for Heroics
Thanks a lot for the info, ya’ll!!!
I had never EVER heard that it was black and white, with different sound effects. lol. That sounds amazing.
Wasn’t the first PVP of anniversary week Weapon Tex-Mex? Imagine a normal prize bracket, but instead of a 3* character it was 4* Devil Dino covers. And Fury was the #1 prize. I think I opened the week with 4 dino covers thanks to that event.
