Forum folks,

We know you still have some questions about the upcoming Civil War events. You've probably skimmed through the recently-posted 'Civil War' Event Info. Here's some additional info from Demiurge that we hope you'll find useful. Thanks!

Additional 'Civil War' Details

Who’s side will you be on?

We are extremely excited to have everyone play in the new Civil War Event. The event is a boss battle like Galactus and Ultron, with some new mechanics. We know everyone is deciding what side they want to choose and we have some information that will hopefully help you make that decision.

General Information
    • The Civil War event starts at 12:00pm EDT on Thursday May 5th and will run for three and a half days. There will be a second run of the event at 12:00pm EDT on Thursday May 26th. • Winter Soldier will be a featured hero for Team Cap during the first run of the event. War Machine will be a featured hero for Team Iron Man during the second run of the event. • Every playable character in the game is playable on each side. • The featured characters for each side for the first run of the Civil War Event:
    o Team Cap - Team Cap (any), Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Human Torch (any), Daredevil, Hawkeye (any), Steve Rogers (any), Sam Wilson (any), Punisher (any), Thing, Storm (any) o Team Iron Man - Team Iron Man (any), Iron Man (Any), Black Panther, Black Widow (Any), Mr. Fantastic, Vision, Quake, Ares, Captain Marvel (any)

• Powered-Up characters for each side:
    o Team Cap - Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch Hawkeye (Modern), Steve Rogers (all), Sam Wilson (all), Thing, Ant-Man, Punisher (Dark Reign), Human Torch (all), Daredevil, Storm (Classic), Storm (Modern) o Team Iron Man - Iron Man (all), Black Panther, Black Widow (all), Mr. Fantastic, Nick Fury, Quake, Vision, Captain Marvel (all), Ares


Alliance Mechanics
    • The first 20 people who join the event under an alliance are locked into that leaderboard for the remainder of the event. • If you join the event for an alliance that already has 20 people in the same leaderboard, you’ll be put into another leaderboard for the remainder of the event. • Your alliance must choose a side to fight on. This event is balanced so an Alliance can complete one of the Boss Battles, but not both. Trying to switch sides will not help you. • If you're not sure which side you want to play, it's okay to try both, but your alliance should focus on one side to get the best rewards. • Missions completed on one side are locked out for both sides until the mission refreshes.

Boss Versions of New Characters

Boss versions of Steve Rogers and Iron Man will be opponent for the event. The boss versions have slightly different powers from their playable counterparts. Here are the abilities for the Boss Versions:

(PASSIVE) At the start of the turn, if there are more than 8 charged tiles, destroy all of them.”
