Event: Halloween
Halloween Comes to Marvel Heroes 2015!
Don't have a Halloween party to go to? That's no problem, join ours! We're kicking off our Halloween event early, so come join us for some Halloween fun!
We've made sure to decorate for the occasion and the Avengers Tower hub has been covered in Halloween decorations including cobwebs, pumpkins and candy bowls. Some prankster even TP'd the Quinjet!

On Halloween day, an extra 31% server-side boost to everything - SIF, RIF and Experience on top of the 63% from Mystic Mayhem for a total of a bonus 94%!
Trick or Treat Power-Ups! - Trick or Treat power-ups now drop frequently!

Event: Mystic Mayhem
Mystic Mayhem is
now live, and will run until
Friday, November 6th!
A confrontation is upon us. A showdown with evil!
The Demon Lord N’astirh has opened a rift between Earth and Limbo. He is invading our world, causing mayhem, fear, and ruthless destruction.
N’astirh has a purpose. He seeks to establish a bridge between the two realms such that he may permanently conquer Earth and all her citizens.
He’s summoned allies from some of the most dangerous realms this side of Hel - striking a deal that would divide up Earth into parcels, to be ruled by the worst of the worst.
It’s your duty to stop N’astirh and his minions before their invasion succeeds. Dislodge the advance forces that are invading Earth and shut down N'astirh’s base of operations through a direct assault on Infernal Limbo itself.

New Hero: Blade
Blade joins the hero roster of Marvel Heroes 2015!
Eric Brooks' mother was attacked by a vampire while giving birth, which would change Eric's fate forever. Becoming part man and part vampire, Eric retained many of the powers vampires possessed - including incredible speed, strength, and ability to sense other supernatural creatures - without suffering many of the weaknesses such as vulnerability to sunlight... but did not spare him the curse of bloodthirst. Referred to as the Daywalker by those he hunts, Eric Brooks swore vengeance against all vampires and became Blade - the vampire-slayer.
Blade brings in a unique mechanic -
Thirst. As Blade engages in combat, his will to fight off the vampiric side of himself slowly wanes, and his thirst for blood grows stronger. When the thirst reaches maximum, Blade becomes
Starving, losing health and becoming weakened as the vampiric thirst takes its toll on his body. Activating
The Serum will stave off the bloodthirst, resetting the Thirst meter and restoring Blade's vampiric strength and speed without the need for human blood.
The Serum has three specializations associated with it that allow you to choose how Blade will harness his vampiric powers:
- In Control - Blade focuses on keeping full control of his vampiric curse, gaining defensive benefits such as increased mitigation and Health regeneration so long as you are not in the Starving state. Blade's Thirst increases at a slower rate than normal with his enhanced focus.
- Only When Necessary - This specialization attempts to strike balance between Blade's humanity and his vampirism. The Serum will reset non-signature cooldowns, restoring Spirit and extending the duration of The Serum's benefits so long as you activate The Serum quickly upon reaching the Starving state.
- Never Sated - In this specialization Blade walks the line between man and monster. Thirst builds more quickly when his enemies bleed, removing the weakness imposed upon reaching Starving and increasing Life on Hit. While Starving, Blade will begin to build stacks of Bloodlust that will increase his damage for every stack consumed upon activating The Serum. Use caution to pull yourself back from the brink before losing control.
Equipped with a full arsenal of vampire-slaying implements such as UV Grenades, Toxin-Loaded Gauntlets and his iconic sword, Blade is ready to take down any monsters who would stand in his way... while he fights to not become one himself.
New Team-Up: Franken-Castle
Franken-Castle joins the Team-Up Roster of Marvel Heroes 2015!
After being killed by Daken, Morbius and the Legion of Monsters reconstructed Frank Castle as a gruesome combination of man and machinery, hoping to turn him into a weapon for their cause. Castle had other ideas - not even death can stop The Punisher from continuing his mission to punish the guilty!
Franken-Castle is
only available for a limited time this Halloween season!
New Features
Hero Roster Update: The Hero Roster now updates the icon for each hero based on which costume they currently have equipped. If the costume updates the name for that hero (such as Deadpool’s ENHANCED Lady Deadpool costume), then it will also correctly adjust the hero’s position in the roster to retain alphabetical listing. The Hero Roster will now also correctly show which Team-Up is active for each hero in the roster in the upper-right corner of each hero icon.
In-Game Clock: An in-game clock can now be enabled in the Options menu, which will display the Marvel Heroes 2015 server time (UTC -08:00 Pacific Time) aka Gazillion Time just below the mini-map in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Item Changes
Thor: The following hero-specific Uniques have been reviewed and updated with new stats:
- Slot 1 - Jarnbjorn
- Slot 1 - Mighty Mjolnir
- Slot 2 - Rune King Armor
- Slot 3 - Cape of Sigurd Dragonslayer
- Slot 5 - Helm of the Skyfather
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Bullseye would not spawn again if your Team-Up defeated him while you were AFK, thus depriving you of mission credit.
The Angel Team-Up’s basic attack should once again be able to deal damage to targets all the time.
The Spitting Spider tooltip now correctly states that selecting this specialization will remove the pull-toward effect from Amazing Smash, not Leaping Assault.
All-New All-Different costume icons should now correctly appear as customization options for hero-specific STASH tabs.
Fixed an issue that caused some hero fidget visuals to be cut off prematurely.
Fixed an issue with the crafter re-rolling PowerCube affixes on artifacts.
Fixed incorrect power visuals for some Thor powers in alternate costumes.
