Chapter 5 is right around the corner, and to get you prepared, here’s some of the things you can expect.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Simulator

A new feature will be launching with Chapter 5 called The S.H.I.E.L.D. Simulator. This is a training and simulation area where players can attempt new challenges or fight specific villains whenever they’d like! This new feature is broken up into two areas.

Challenges

Challenges are new events that will be released periodically in the future. A challenge can be anything from 1 simulation to take down a single villain, to a chain of simulations with anything from a score challenge to a timed fight. Anything is possible in a Challenge!

The feature will be launching with two challenges. The first is “Simulator Intro.” This is just to get you started on trying out the Simulator, and is relatively easy. The second is “Simulator Basics” which will be a 10-simulation chain that shows you some of the different challenges we’ve got coming in the future. Completion of “Simulator Basics” will yield a one-time reward.

Each time you attempt a simulation you will have to use one of your available Simulation Points. These are similar to Challenge Points in PVP and can be recharged with time or purchased for gold if you run out.

In the near future (probably with Spec Op 18) you will see new Challenges added, some of which will even be a special set of challenges for a specific character. Complete each simulation to get awesome rewards!

Villain Archive

The Villain Archive is a very exciting new addition to MAA. Many players have expressed interest in going back to fight villains they miss fighting, or villains they never fought at all since they missed the Spec Op that villain debuted in. Now you can fight any villain any time in the Villain Archive.

As an added bonus, there is a ton of great information available about each villain for the real Marvel fans out there. Best of all, Villain Archive fights are always free and NEVER REQUIRE SIMULATION POINTS!They’re just for fun.

Transian Scarlet Witch

As was previously announced, the Chapter 5 costume reward will be Transian Scarlet Witch. Here’s a look at her new passive ability “Improbable Opening.”
