Story: Having gained the trust and sympathy of the Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four and their friends travel to Galactus’s ship to stop the World Devourer from making the planet Earth his next stop. Uatu reveals to them that the only way to stop Galactus is to retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier. Johnny Storm volunteers to retrieve the weapon with the aid of the Silver Surfer and Spider-Man. Will our heroes be able to get to the device before it is too late?
Structure: Alliance (Locked)
Length of event: 4 days
Time restriction: None
Number of subs: 9
Number of nodes: 6 (including mini-boss node)
Game Map: Galactus ship, 1st and 2nd sub takes place outside of ship, 3rd-6th inside different parts of the ship, 7th first confrontation with Galactus in control room, 8th in the armory where the Ultimate Nullifier is kept, 9th second confrontation in control room
Point system: Health remaining after match (sub capped)
General information: 1st and 2nd sub is a rematch against the other heralds outside Galactus’s ship and players get to use a full power Silver Surfer for the boss nodes, 3rd-6th subs feature the Punisher Robots more prominently along with an Internal Computer Security system for the boss node, the 7th sub features a battle with Galactus in which the player is supposed to lose but after losing unlocks the 8th sub where Johnny Storm along with the Silver Surfer and Spider-Man break into the armory to retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier. The final sub only features one node. Instead of trying to defeat Galactus by doing damage, the goal is to try and match a special tile representing the Ultimate Nullifier before he does. Only Fantastic Four members are usuable for this battle.

Event designer’s notes:
- Releasing so many characters at once serves three purposes: 1. Serve to help diversify enemy types for PvE (less use of Dark Avengers), 2. Help set the game up for future tie-in with Infinity War promotion(long term goal), 3. Give players both new and old a great variety of choices, add value to tokens as herald characters will only be available through tokens (No PvP release), increase sale of roster slots and encourage buying of Hero Points during sale.
2.The new point system determines the amount of points earned by the amount of remaining health a team has after completing a node. Obviously this can be abused so a point cap is placed on each sub which restricts how many points an alliance can earn from each sub with the hope that alliances will assign lower point, easier nodes to members with less robust rosters and higher points, harder nodes to members with stronger rosters. Such a system will help encourage more alliance communication and better organization and also frees players to play the event when they want, however much they want.
-
In order to keep with the theme of the event I would switch the 4* Cyclops release with 4* Reed Richards who will be an essential character for the Galactus Hungers event.
-
Another thematic change.
-
Another change, ensuring all characters awarded are 2015 characters
-
Combined Arms will run concurrently with Class of 2015 to give newer players an opportunity to get covers that will be required for the Galactus Hungers event
-
Players can either choose to use the featured character with different full builds on each node or their own Howard the Duck
-
Yes, I know it’s purple.

Warning, math is not my strong suit. Probably have something funky going on with the percentages if so please do let me know and I will adjust accordingly!
Updated: Token percentages
Big thanks to Ctenko for crunching the numbers and making adjustments for me!
