Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle

Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle

Heroes and Villains from all walks of life have more opportunities than ever before to get in on the action. With that in mind, Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle introduces two new features: Novice Raids and Role Optional Alerts.

Novice Raids
Get into the fight sooner with alternate versions of all three Fortress of Solitude, the Batcave, and the Kahndaq raids.
Experience the same epic storylines and all the action of Expert Raids in a more forgiving format.
Earn the same kinds of rewards (though in lesser quantities) so you can continue to gear and grow your characters.


Role Optional Alerts
Queue faster for Alerts and form groups with any combination of roles.
Utilize the Team Buff to make up for whatever role or roles your group is lacking, as long as you stick together.
If you don't have a Tank, everyone will take less damage overall.
If you don't have a Healer, any Controller or Damage character will trigger a small amount of regeneration when your health dips below a certain point. If you're a Tank, you'll always have some regeneration.
If you don't have a Controller, everyone will get varying amounts of additional power periodically.
