Marvel Heroes Winter Event and Iron Fist joins the roster

Marvel Heroes is celebrating the holidays with their Winter Event, a new hero, a new team-up, and some game changes.

A whole host of festive goodies have landed in-game and these will run until 31 December.

• Winter Spirit Buffs – Get into the holiday spirit with buffs that display a snowflake above your hero! These buffs drop anywhere in game – collect 5 snowflake buffs to receive a holiday lootsplosion!
• Cosmic Cheer – Cosmic prestige leveling speed is doubled for the duration of the event! In addition, all XP, SIF and RIF values are boosted server-side by 100%!
• Winter Wonderland – Midtown Manhattan & Industry City Patrols have posted a severe weather warning, but this hasn’t slowed the supervillains down! Be sure to bundle up!
• Stocking Stuffers – Log in each day for special holiday gifts!

Gazillion will also be running the following events alongside the above holiday bonuses:

• December 18th-24th – A.R.M.O.R. Incursion
• December 25th-31st – Mystic Mayhem

That’s not all though because a new hero has joined the roster and it’s Iron Fist with his mental and physical powers.

An unlikely hero has also been added as a new team-up in the form of Howard the Duck:

Howard the Duck can only be unlocked by earning the A.R.M.O.R. Defense achievement during A.R.M.O.R Incursion events. Complete the A.R.M.O.R Defender mission this week to earn progress towards unlocking him for yourself!

There’s quite a few bits and pieces in the latest update including hero updates and changes to the recently added Danger Room. Check all the notes here.
