HERO-SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE BONUS
Some superheroes are no stranger to the Hand and other criminals that lurk in the dark corners of Hell’s Kitchen. The following heroes that already know their way around the streets will receive a 10% Experience Bonus during this event until September 7th:
Daredevil
Elektra
Iron Fist
Luke Cage
NEW HERO: ELEKTRA
Elektra has joined the Hero roster of Marvel Heroes Omega!
From a young age, Elektra Natchios trained in the martial arts well into her adulthood. But when Elektra’s father—a Greek Ambassador—was killed in a terrorist abduction gone horribly wrong, she was convinced that the law had failed her. She then traveled afar to Japan to perfect her combat skills; taking matters into her own hands. Taught by both the ancient Chaste order and notorious Hand organization, she would later return home as an infamous assassin at the top of her game.
Being the best of the best, Elektra’s clients include a large variety of the world’s elite—from S.H.I.E.L.D. to Kingpin. Yet, she continuously crosses paths with her old college flame, Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil. Elektra’s adventures have led her far, wide, and back again. But this time the price is right, and she’s here to get the job done.
The Elektra Pack will be available exclusively in the PSN Store for a period of 30 days. After that, Elektra will be available for Gs or Eternity Splinters as a standalone Hero purchase.
MARVELOUS ESSENCE STORE CHANGES
With this patch, we have now enabled the ability to purchase costumes using Marvelous Essence directly from the in-game store!
When you access the Costumes section of the in-game store, you will now see your total available Marvelous Essence in the top right corner of the screen. Any costumes that are currently available for purchase with Marvelous Essence can also be unlocked directly from this menu instead of purchasing the respective costume box from Moondragon.
Moondragon will no longer offer these costumes in exchange for Marvelous Essence, but will still offer some other Marvelous Loot Box rewards, such as boosts or Ultimate Upgrades.
