Hi Everyone –

We are super excited for the return of the New Character Blog which was just shared via the blog on our website (and socials). This week we feature Chasm (Ben Reilly) that launches in MPQ today! 

We plan to make this a continuous thing and share these with each new character in MPQ.  We also hope to highlight more of the great work each member of the team has been producing and get multiple perspectives of each new character + show off any cool gems of each release when we can!

VISIT HERE to read the blog.

We hope you enjoy Chasm!  Thank you!

    Let me be the villian: they actually mentioned Kingpin (Spider-Verse) and Dr Strange as  Chasm's potential allies.  >:)

    Someone please try out Chasm, Carbage + SMPP/Killmonger/Dr Thor.  :p

    Definitely keep the "Behind the Quest" section as it certainly helps to understand the character's better.

    There are a couple of things that I didn't take in account for chasm.
    Kingping a good partner? On paper it could be, on play he needs to collect 7 blues and to play with carnage (if not then collect 9 expensive greens before the blues).

    This was so great to read.  Really shows the thought that went into Chasm.  Greatly appreciate the write up!

    Yeah this was a great write up. I appreciate that the 5* character had proposed 5* team mates. I’m going to be very curious to see him in action. I wonder if using Black Bolt to hard-empty your AP reserves will be practical or not?

    I really like that they tried to make an all passive character that you still have to think about actively when playing. I think that was my favorite part and I’m excited to see it in practice (three months from now when I open for Chasm/She-Hulk/Omega Red)!

    Good stuff! Just a suggestion but a short video featuring the new character with a recommended team to show off their abilities and potential synergy would be the proverbial icing on the cake. In any case, glad to see these new character blogs make a comeback. 

    Thank you for the great write-up and kudos to the art department. Chasm looks awesome! :)

    I think that's a good idea.

    I enjoyed reading the character blog. It really helps to give insight on an upcoming toon with ways to use them with out of the box ideas instead of the dominance through overwhelming force strategy that is the norm.

    Please continue with this blog! I really enjoy the developer thoughts on how they create the characters!
