Yesterday we did a big post about rewards. Today I wanted to get you some notes from the design team about Iron Fist’s character update and his new Heroic Age uniform. You probably noticed yesterday that he has some additional skills on the team page.

Did everyone notice the little arrows below the character’s skills in yesterday’s reveal? If a particular character or uniform has more than 4 skills (such as Cable, Punisher, and Omega Sentinel) the Team Page will now allow you to scroll through and look at them. Another one of the many smaller updates going into this patch. Pretty neat!

Ok, so why does the Heroic Age Iron Fist have more than 4 skills while the Classic uniform does not? I’ll just post a preview of the patch notes below.
