Civil War Event Info

Civil War is the newest Marvel Puzzle Quest Boss Event in which players and their Alliance choose a side and take on a common foe. Will your Alliance side with Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

Alliance Gameplay:

Like the two previous Boss Events (Avengers vs Ultron and Galactus Hungers), you will need to join or start an Alliance to fully enjoy this event.

This event is for 20 players. The first 20 people to join the event with a specific Alliance are locked in with those 20 people for the duration of the event. If you join the event and there are 20 people already grouped up for the event, you will join the event separate from the other 20 people. Make sure you coordinate with your Alliance to ensure that you group up with the people you want to group up with.

Event Structure:

Unlike other boss events, you have the option to fight against one of two different bosses. There is a Story chapter for Team Cap and Team Iron Man. People who join Team Cap will play against a special boss version of Iron Man and people who join Team Iron Man will play against a special boss version of Steve Rogers.

Each boss has their own health that you and your Alliance are all battling against at the same time. When your Alliance completes a round against a boss, only that side will progress to the next round.

Your Alliance must choose a side to fight on. Alliances can complete all 8 rounds of a boss, but not both. Trying to complete both will limit the amount of rewards you can earn.

There are two different types of missions: Boss Mission and Supporting Character Missions.

Boss Mission
    - You’ll compete against the boss versions of Steve Rogers or Iron Man. - This is the first mission available when the event starts. - The boss’ health at the top will go down based on the amount of damage you and your Alliance does to him, even if you lose the match. - The mission pin will enter cooldown for 8 hours or until you beat one of the supporting Character Missions.

Supporting Character Missions:
    - 5 different missions that each have a different featured character. - Completing these missions reduces the health of the boss at the top of the screen. - Reset every 8 hours. The opponents change every time the mission resets. - (New to Civil War) Completing a mission on one side locks out the mission on the other side.

Once your Alliance defeats the boss by depleting his health bar, his health will reset and you’ll unlock the next round in the event. There are 8 rounds in all that your Alliance can complete.

Special Civil War Versions of Steve Rogers and Iron Man

As part of the Civil War event, special versions of the new Captain America and Iron Man heroes were created. These versions have been created specifically for the event and their abilities have been designed to challenge your alliance and make an exciting Boss encounter.

Rewards

What is better than aligning yourself with your favorite superhero in Civil War? Getting lots of great rewards in the process!

As you deal damage to the opposing side, you will earn progression rewards for the entire event. As your team deals damage, everyone will earn progression rewards for each round they complete.

There will be four different tokens for the Civil War event: Team Cap and Team Iron Man vault tokens and Team Cap and Team Iron Man Legendary tokens. Throughout the event, you’ll be earning vault tokens for the side you have chosen. These tokens are redeemed in the corresponding Team Iron Man or Team Cap vaults. If you and your Alliance do really well, you will get Team Cap and Team Iron Man Legendary Tokens.

The Civil War store has two different packs: Team Cap and Team Iron Man Legendary packs. Each pack gives you a one in ten chance get a cover of the 5-Star Steve Rogers or Iron Man hero. These packs function as Legendary packs so the other heroes you can pull will be 4-Star Heroes. These packs can be purchased with 30 Command Points each.

If your Alliance is able to complete all 8 rounds, you will earn a 5-Star cover of Steve Rogers (First Avenger) or Iron Man (Mark XLVI) depending on which side you chose.

F.A.Q.

Q: What are the differences between the two sides?
    A: The differences between the two sides are the characters you play against, the characters that are buffed and the rewards you receive.

Q: Which characters are on each side?
    A: Full details about Civil War teams are found here (
https://d3publisher.helpshift.com/a/mar ... filiations). This page includes the buffed characters for the first run of the event.

Q: Everyone in my Alliance chose a different side than me! Can I switch sides?
    A: Yes, and the sooner you do the better!

Q: Can’t I just play on both sides then?
    A: You can, but you will not be able to contribute as many points to each side. If you've already completed a mission for one side, you won't be able to complete the corresponding mission on the other side until the pin resets.

Q: How are the rewards different for each side?
    A: Each team has their own store, progression rewards and special Legendary token. When playing on a side, you will earn tokens and rewards from that side. These tokens can not be spent at the other side’s store.

Q: Can I get packs from the store on the opposite side that I am on?
    A: Sure! Packs from each store can be purchased with Hero Points or Command Points.

Q: How do I get a 5* Captain America or 5* Iron Man?
    A: During this event, you'll have access to a special Civil War Legendary store, where you can turn in Command Points for a chance to earn one of these characters. Additionally, if your Alliance completes the final round of the event, you'll earn an extra 5* Captain America (for Team Cap) cover or a 5* Iron Man (for Team Iron Man) cover.
