Marvel Avengers Alliance: Forum Patch Notes 2014/12/09

Daily Missions
Daily Missions are unique, stand-alone challenges with special gameplay rules, offering rare and exclusive rewards for completion. Each day, a new Daily Mission task will be posted, which can only be completed by playing in the Daily Mission, found within a new tab in the Mission page.

New Weekly Tasks: “Ho-Ho-Hybrid”
A new lockbox hero is available: Hybrid. Complete the weekly Ho-Ho-Ho Hybrid Tasks to collect Symbiotic Lockboxes. Additional lockboxes can be collected by completing the Daily Mission Tasks.

New Lockbox Hero: Hybrid

Bio: Scott Washington was a Guardsman at the Vault, protecting a unique science experiment: the four offspring of the symbiote called Venom. After his brother was killed and he was paralyzed in a gang shooting, the symbiotes found him and bonded with him. Calling himself Hybrid, he now seeks vengeance against criminals of all kinds.

Customization: After enduring the Green Goblin’s barbaric experiments, Hybrid and his symbiotes have unlocked an amazing affinity with Augmented and Empowered Iso-8. However, this will have to wait until Hybrid decides to join us...perhaps until a certain holiday.
