Marvel Avengers Alliance: PVP 17 With New Concepts and Patch Note

Playdom have decided to make the experience better than ever for Marvel Avengers Alliance PVP.

New Update: 
PVP Season 17 is coming. The reward for Adamantium League is going to be Karnak of the Inhumans and there will be Lockbox rewards tied to the daily bonus.

Introducing Pre-Season PVP

From PVP 17 playdom going to introduce the concept of pre-seasons PVP. Pre-season is a very short tournament right before the main PVP season takes place. It has much higher chance for everyone to get Adamantium, Vibranium, Diamond, and Gold leagues. The rewards are built around the concept of making you better for the next PVP season. Leagues will award Gold, Silver, CP and the next tier PVP armory items, to help bolster your PVP bonus, before they are purchasable. The pre-season concept will not only help players prep for the upcoming tournaments, but improve their arsenals and teams overall.

Pre-Season PVP Patch Note: 

The Pre-Seasons will gear you up with high PVP bonus items and allows us to occasionally test out new features to create a better PVP experience. Pre-Season length may fluctuate, but will currently run for two weeks. Standard PVP seasons (like the upcoming Season 17 featuring Karnak) will still be the standard length of roughly 4 weeks.

Not all pre-seasons are meant to test for new features. Our goal is to give you a pre-season before each long PVP season to give more players a chance to gear up for the Adamantium League. Future PVP Pre-Seasons will be titled based on the Season they precede. For example there will be a “Pre-Season 18” right before “Season 18.”

Pre-Season PVP Alpha

Pre-Season PVP Alpha will feature improved matchmaking. Matches will be evaluated based on which league you are currently in, and a combination of factors, including level, rating, number of heroes and slotted PVP items. Good luck, Agents!

The Unstoppable and the Shepherd Staff task lines are now set to expire on 3/17. These tasks were launched with previous PVP Seasons and did not properly expire when those seasons ended.

Sunfire Task Expiration
Sunfire’s task expired on 2/13. The required items to complete the Sunfire task have been removed from Chapter 1 Mission 4 and the Season 2 deploys and incursions.

Incursions
Incursions have been updated so it is less likely to face the same opponent if you end up on the losing side. This should also help ensure that failed missions do not play out exactly the same way, unless they are intended to do so.

Combat Engine Action Flow Refactor
We changed the flow of how pre-actions work on counters. This will allow us to make better improvements to existing and future character actions.

Changes to Game BalanceIn Spec Op 16 Mission 3, the fight against Pestilence, Selene, and Dragoness was overly difficult. The following balance changes have been made:

• Selene

Sabretooth

• Bio: Though Victor Creed's mutant healing factor and claws may resemble those of Wolverine, the comparison ends there. Sabretooth is feral, bloodthirsty, and utterly without humanity. These qualities served him well in the Weapon X program, where he and Wolverine forged their mutual hatred. Sabretooth now works for S.H.I.E.L.D., though not by choice; the bomb in his head, implanted by an unknown organization, is the only thing keeping him from killing everyone around him.

Armory Upgrades
Armory Sorting and Filtering
When adding items to the PVP Armory, the Inventory panel on the left side now displays all items in a single interface. By default all items are displayed, but players can choose to only show gear, uniforms, supplies, or resources. In addition, the items with the highest PVP bonus are sorted to the front of the list. Players may choose to sort by highest total bonus, highest offensive bonus, or highest defensive bonus.

In addition, players who need to do a lot of resocketing can check a box that will suppress the warning message about permanently losing the item that is being socketed, and destroying anything you socket over. Please exercise caution when using this feature, as destroying items in your armory is permanent and cannot be recovered.

Split PVP Armory
The PVP armory received an upgrade to accommodate different Attacking / Defending team loadouts. Now, items in the armory either boost the Attacking Team or Defending team depending on which side they are socketed in. Items in the Attacking side will only increase the stats of a player’s Attacking team, and items in the Defending side will only increase the stats of a player’s Defending team. This allows players to use different strategies that support their different team compositions.

Armory Unsocketing
Did you accidentally put your Golden Screaming Eagle in your armory, or just want to reorganize to maximize Offense on your Attacking Team? Now you can, for a modest price, unsocket all of the items in your armory at once, giving you a chance to get back socketed items and resocket them as you see fit.

Note that any Customized gear socketed lose their level and will be their minimum level when unsocketed. However, once unsocketed, gear may be reforged up to the Agent’s current level as usual.

With the release of Split PVP Armories, all players will gain one free use of “Unsocket All.”

Armory Page 6
A sixth page of armory has been added. Players at level 150 can research Armory Expansion V, granting the sixth page. In addition, the level required to research the previous armory page has been lowered across the board.

• Armory Expansion I now requires level 10 (previously 25)
• Armory Expansion II now requires level 25 (previously 60)
• Armory Expansion III now requires level 60 (previously 100)
• Armory Expansion IV now requires level 100 (previously 150)
• Armory Expansion V now available for players level 150 and up

Season 12 PVP Balance Tuning
Stat Boost Calculations
The way the engine calculates the final stats of a character with multiple buffs has been changed. Previously, all increases to stats were calculated independently and compounded each other. Now each buff will be calculated based on the character’s pre-combat stats. This means that multiple stacking buffs will add up rather than multiply each other.

Take for instance World War Hulk with a pre-combat Attack of 200. During combat, he gains Strengthened (30%), 3 stacks of War Frenzy (12%), and 3 stacks of Hulk Up (10%).
Previously, the total bonus would have been 1.3 * 1.2 * 1.2 * 1.2 * 1.1 * 1.1 * 1.1 = 2.99 x Hulk’s base Attack, for a final Attack of 1495.
Now, the bonus is 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = +1.2, for a total bonus of 2.2 x Hulk’s base Attack, for a final Attack of 1100.

This should help alleviate problems that arise from players stacking many different similar stat-boosting effects. While boosting stats is still valuable, the total will no longer escalate exponentially.

Avoidance Effects
There has been a game-wide change to the way avoidance effects work, such as those granted by effects such as Storm’s Protective Shroud or passive effects such as Scarlet Witch’s Reality Warping.

• All passive avoidance effects now have their rate fixed at 20%
• Characters may have several passive avoidance effects - such as the Synthetic Cube’s Reality Hacking or Fantomex’s Misdirection - but the chance to avoid attacks does not stack
  • A single trigger check is made regardless of the number of avoidance effects
  • If one effect triggers, all effects will trigger
• Temporary avoidance effects now have a rate of 50% (such as Protective Shroud) or 70% (such as Mirror Images)
• Characters may only have one temporary avoidance effect at a time
• Temporary avoidance effects have priority over passive avoidance effects - these effects do not stack
• Avoidance effects will now dodge every hit of a multi-hit attack
• Mirror Images will still only avoid up to 2 hits of a multi-hit attack
• Tooltips now explicitly state the rate of avoidance

The following characters’ passive avoidance effects have been updated:

• Blazing Speed (Human Torch)
• Dancing Queen (Spiral)
• Density Shift (Vision)
• Invisibility (Invisible Woman)
• Master Assassin (Elektra)
• Misdirection (Fantomex)
• Oracle (Oracle gear)
• Reality Hacking (Synthetic Cube)
• Reality Warping (Scarlet Witch, Hex Wand)
• Super Squirrely (Squirrel Girl)
• Techno-organic Wings (Angel)
• Whiff of Brimstone (Nightcrawler)
• Seventh Sense (Ms. Marvel)

The following temporary avoidance effects have been updated:

• Mirror Images
• Nimble (Wasp, Vigilante Toolkit)
• Protective Shroud (Storm)
• Psionic Shadow (Psylocke)
• Smoke Grenade (Punisher)
• Stepping Razor (Magik)
• Skittering Darkness (Daimon Hellstrom)

PVP Daily Spin
The PVP Daily Spin loot table has been updated.

Revamped PVP Pre-Fight and Victory Screen
The pre-fight loading screen has been removed in PVP. Clicking on the Fight button now sends users directly into combat. As a result, players should no longer experience their browser or Flash freezing up after initiating a fight in PVP.

Additionally, the victory screen has been simplified in favor of a cleaner result page with less clutter. The information that was previously displayed can now be retrieved by visiting their opponent’s profile.

PVP Turn order change
In order to reduce the chance of a lopsided PVP fight due to all opponents going back-to-back, the turn order algorithm has been updated. Now turn order will alternate between the two teams evenly. The placement of members in that team order is still determined randomly. Note: This only affects PVP battles.

New PvP Crafting Task
Another Dimension
An epic crafting quest has been added to PVP season 11. Like the Shepherd’s Staff before, this quest requires players to participate in PVP daily to gain items used to craft the item.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Best PVP Combos, Team & Gears Guide For PVP 10

Here I listed some combos that I would use. You don't have to agree with me, as you don't have to agree with anything on that guide. The combos I am gonna write may not work as intended on paper. This is all theorycraft.
Tactician Agent w/ Rocket Pistol, Custom Sword of the Barony, Ironstar, Kuzuri + X-23 + Infiltrator Swashbuckler Nightcrawler
Explanation: This is a team built around Hemorrhage. Shadow Dance + Rocket Pistol + Ironstar + Blades of Rage already deals a lot of damage. If anyone gets Trigger Scent and it proccs, Laura's next Blades of Rage will be the last.

Tactician Agent w/ Binding Contract, Sudden Support, The Exsanguinator, Kuzuri + Brown-and-Tan Infiltrator Wolverine + Scrapper Claws Black Cat
Explanation: This is a team built around Bleeding. The thing here is simple: Feral Ambush any protectors, Unlucky Strike any Infiltrators, if there aren't any, simply Cat Scratch, Binding Contract on any Blaster and on the third foe. On the second turn, Berserker Frenzy, Exsanguinator and Nerve Chop for the win. If there aren't Blasters, Binding Contract again on the second turn and by the time you reach the third, 3v1 is still an easy scenario.

Tactician Agent w/ Heroic Call, Stark Industries Isotope Cannon, Sudden Support, Maggia Triggerman+ Angel + Bruiser WWII Cap
Explanation: This is a team built around Stats manipulating. If you manage to get extra turns from the Tactician passive, use the Heroic Call + Iso Cannon. Next turn, Iso Cannon two times. Then, when the extra turn from Angel comes, SS + Magia for the sweep.

Infiltrator Agent w/ Phoenix Flare, Power of Four, Mechanical Mjolnir, Sudden Support + Blaster Iron Patriot War Machine + Tactician Phoenix Five Emma Frost
Explanation: This is a team built around AoE. Right off the bat, activate PO4 and suicide your Agent with 2x Mecha. Mjolnir, SS and PF. Then, if needed, Overcharge WM and 21 salute gun all the way. Emma is there to take down any leftovers (since the Agent is going to die and WM is gonna be out of Stamina), Unlock Potential depending on the turn order, burn some enemy HP, mitigate damage and maybe some lucky Cosmic Power proccs.

Tactician Agent w/ Circuit Breaker, Sparkplugger, Hoarfrost Mace, Custom Fistborne Defibrillator + Valkyrie + Blaster Classic Storm
Explanation: This is a team built around Static Charges. Fistborne Defibrillator, while having a low chance to Stun, proccs those Charges, dealing AoE damage after setting them up on the first turn, and Circuit Breaker will make one or two enemies deal less damage. By the time the Agent dies, Flight of the Valkyrie + Tornado is a sure kill. Circuit Breaker + Sparkplugger, if done after Blizzard, is an effective way to take down an unguarded Blaster.

Blaster Agent w/ Custom Goblin Glider, Marksman's Spotter, Damage Amplifier, Arc Reactor Charge + Tactician Grey Suit Black Widow + P5 Bruiser Colossus
Explanation: This is a team built around hard countering the enemy team. On the first turn, any Bruisers and Blasters are gonna go to sleep. This makes Colossus immovable, while his passive makes Black Widow's Stamina last longer, so she can jump on people to death turn after turn.

Generalist Agent w/ Barrowguard, Shepherd Staff, Odin's Cane, Hoarfrost Mace + Angel + Blaster White Crown Phoenix
Explanation: This is a team built around surviving. With Barrowguard and Benediction, Phoenix will be able to refresh the cooldown on Phoenix Fire as many times as she wants. The thing is that the win would take too long to come, but I would rage quit if I attacked something like that.

Bruiser Agent w/ Blade of the Guardian, Sonic Fist, Digital Decoy, Hex Wand + Daemon Hellstrom + Fantomex
Explanation: This is a team built around making the enemy miss. Seismic Feedback alone can sweep, since its damage scales with Enrage, but on top of that Fantomex has a really nice AoE damage. Simply take your time, the enemy won't be able to hurt you.

Tactician Agent w/ Kuzuri, Second Amendment, Lasercutter, Disruption Field Array + Captain Britain + Infiltrator Swashbuckler Nightcrawler
Explanation: This is a team built around Paragon Exploit. Forget about Smashing, this is all about Brittanic. Shadow Dance + Second Amendment + Dark Sigil = 4 debuffs being exploited with increased stats, two times by turn, Sure Crits and Deadly Crits. Should I say more?

Infiltrator Agent w/ Chain Tonfa, The Knight, Shepherd Staff, Specimen Scanner + Magik + Satana
Explanation: This is a team built around DOT. The three magic DOTs with Bane, Bleeding with Ravage, Radiaton... This means heavy damage per turn. But one angolob is all it takes to make the fight severely bad for you. And it is overused so yeah.

Tactician Agent w/ Custom Only for Killing, Coulson's Revenge, Shepherd Staff, The Knight + Omega Sentinel + Psylocke
Explanation: This is a team built around Follow-ups. Omega Sentinel has, with this composition, the possibility to have 6 (!) actions to procc Follow-ups either from Mental Coordination or Coordinated Attack. I got really mad when this happened to me. The game plays itself, winning for you.

Tactician Agent w/ Enigma .45, The Toolbox, Magnetic Field Generator, Scroll of Ozirochi + Omega Sentinel + Thundra
Explanation: This is a team built around Finest Hour. Omega Sentinel can use Finest Hour too, I know, but Thundra's is much stronger, which just makes them good partners. What you do is Ozirochi + Enigma + Toolbox, then HE Targeting Laser + Plasma Torch, Neural Disruptors + Defense Array and Perfect Storm the shizz out of them. You can count, you will have 5 buff on Finest Hour AND 3 debuffs to Exploit, while having almost sure Crits. You can use QJ instead of MFG for the next turn, but MFG is a buff that benefits Finest Hour too.

Tactician Agent w/ Shepherd Staff, Coulson's Revenge, Techno-Organic Endoskeleton, Hoarfrost Mace + Juggernaut + Blue Costume Scrapper Quicksilver
Explanation: This is a team built around Combo Setup. Juggernaut simply screams to be paired with QS. After Momentum Generator and Surge of Cyttorak, Pietro will take down enemy by enemy. Coordinated Attack makes it possible to Juggernaut to be usefull again, since QS has two actions per turn, there is a higher chance of stacking Momentum to, well, be the Juggernaut. Also a high Stun chance on the team.

Bruiser Agent w/ Mahayuga, Hotshot, Hard Nox, Signpost + Magneto + Rescue
Explanation: This is a team built around Magnetize. There is no protector with a Preemptive Counter, so Rescue serves the purpose of Magnetizing. Her shield with Magneto's won't stack tho, so be careful with that. That said, the team gets really hard to take down, and the Counters are gonna make the enemy think twice before attacking. The only thing here is I think that Rescue will screw with the Dark Bargains. If it takes out the Poisoned, tho, it is fine.

Tactician Agent w/ Hotshot, Spirit Edge, Signpost, The Experiment + Red Hulk + Magik
Explanation: This is a team built around Stamina draining. With Signpost, Deathfrost and Spirit Edge their Stamina will go down fast, making opposing heroes lose turns to Recharge. Couple that with a (potentially) Quick Action AoE Stun with Hotshot and this will make them virtually not play. To deal damage, there are many debuffs burning them, and Red Hulk can sweep once he is in 70% heat.

Bruiser Agent w/ Hoarfrost Mace, Reboot, Shepherd Staff, Ironstar + Emma Frost + Shatterstar
Explanation: This is a team built around Stealthy AoE. Ironstar + Gladiatorial Carnage + Unlock Potential + Quantum Jumper will give Shatterstar three turns with huge stats, High Crits and Ignore Defense. Maybe even one stack of Pain. Just sweep one by one on the second turn. Even better if the Agent dies.

Scrapper Agent w/ Warbringer Axe, Advanced Idea, Sinister Scepter, Transcranial Stimulator + Infiltrator Shadowcat Kitty Pride + Vision
Explanation: This is a team built around Phased. For two turns, the opponent can't touch any of your characters. When the Phaseds are about to worn out, coupled with WBA and Advanced Idea you will do a huge spike damage, making the match severely in your favor.

Defensive Team Guide:

Opening Words - Ok, so this is Dante's guide on ATTACKING PvP. But after some research (aka reading other guides, as well as testing stuff) I feel confident enough to write something to help you guys out on defense. I myself am too lazy to switch to a defensive team EVERYTIME I have to logout. This and remeber that what REALLY counts is the last two hours or so of PvP to define your final rating, so you should actively play the game in order to achieve the higher possible rating, thus rendering a defensive composition kind of useless. Warning: this is gonna be a huge wall of text. But for completion purpose, here it goes:
The (not so) Mini Guide - I'm not 100% sure as to how the AI works. Sometimes it would spam a certain item (like Mahayuga), but sometimes it goes completely random. Sources seem to differ about AI proccs. Maybe it is just probability, but it is very unlikely. It means that some people say that our robot friend has a higher chance to activate abilities that are lucky-based, like Spideys protect in Great Power / Great Responsibility, Psylockes Mental Coordination and such, in order to make it up for being so dumb. I myself believe so, since I always get full stunned by Hotshots, Cpt. Britains and Quicksilvers, where my own Hotshot only stuns one enemy when I'm really lucky. That is a kinda broken argument because, analogously, people use to think that the lights are always red, but then again when it is green they don't even take a time to realise that. Here to us it is the same thing: if the AI does NOT procc, you simply faceroll through the fight and press the fight again button. Now what you have to keep in mind for defense is that it is all about controlling what you want the AI to do. Of course we don't have yet the option of setting it up with conditions like in some of the latest Final Fantasy games, but it can be done at some extent. IF the AI is fully random and you run an agent with 4 AoE items (like I think I've suggested some here in this guide in the above section), what happens is that the AI has 25% of chance to use that weapon that works as core, or the optimal weapon for the situation, which is a very low chance. And how to dodge that? Quick Actions and Cooldowns. If you run Hotshot + Hard Nox it is great, since it skyrockets your attack, but Signpost is overwhelmingly better for defense because even without using the best of its contract, it is a Quick Action, which means that Hotshot (the item you mean the AI to use) is gonna be used more often. Now if you run Signpost + Hotshot +, say, Quantum Jumper. I'm not a real fan of the yellow gadget, since most heroes won't really benefit from a new turn without refreshed cooldowns, and the AI can screw this up (using that free turn to, say, go AoE with Quicksilver and Enraging someone), QJ is still extremely good for defense, since it starts on cooldown, meaning that Hotshot will still be the item the AI is gonna use 100% of the time on the first turn, but when it enters Cooldown, your Agent can still do something better than just spam Quick Actions.
TLDR: take out choices from the AI for optimum results. Oh, and don't forget the Protect! Seriously, I say this in every section in this guide and you guys still ignore me. i^i
Quick List - of characters I think that work better in defense, in no particular order. Captain America, Colossus, Hawkeye, Strange, Invisible Woman, Kitty Pride, Nightcrawler, Spiderman, Thor, Wolverine, Emma Frost, Quicksilver, Valkyrie, Psylocke, Captain Britain, Shatterstar, Union Jack, Rescue.

PVP Hero Tier

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Forum Patch Notes: PvP Season 10 (2013/08/15)

PVP Teams and Gear Loadouts
PVP Season 10 Brings the highly anticipated feature of separate gear loadouts for PVP and Missions. Not only that, but players can actually choose different heroes and uniforms as well. Players will even get two PVP teams (one for offense and one for defense) which will provide a great amount of new strategy.

To summarize, players now have:
- A Missions Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts
- An Offensive PVP Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts
- A Defensive PVP Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts

Each team may also use the same heroes, uniforms, and gear if the player so chooses.


PVP Season 10
We have spent a considerable amount of time on changing the opponent selection system for PvP Season 10. Users should no longer face the same opponent multiple times in a row, and the list of challengers should be much more vast.

We have also removed the ELO gain that opponents would get if a CVE occurred while attacking.

DISCLAIMER/NOTES

• Who the 'best' characters are is largely a function of how you've equipped your agent, but this list should give you a general idea of the characters worth buying/focusing on.
• Similarly, there is no 'best' way to stack IS0s, but the general rule is to emphasize strengths rather than compensate for weaknesses.
• For the best character bonuses, stack Blasters and Tacticians and re-assign Infiltrators you aren't using.

Marvel Avengers Alliance: Announcement PvP Tournament scoring explained -2013/07/02

Hello Agents,
We would like to take a moment to address the concerns voiced about the new scoring system we implemented. This season, the requirements for the Leagues changed from a percentage-based system to a fixed Rating requirement. We think this change creates a more clear and understandable goal, instead of a rating target that continues to move throughout the tournament. The Adamantium requirement of 1550 was chosen by analyzing the final Ratings data for the last three Tournaments. We expect roughly 30% more players will be able to attain the required Rating than in previous tournaments, making it easier to get the reward Hero than before.
Unfortunately, this has had an unintended side effect of causing some confusion in the middle of the Tournament. Over the course of a Tournament, the average rating of players in the top three Leagues increases. However, because it takes time for the rating points to “trickle up” to the top players, this means that players who are doing very well percentage-wise still will not have the required rating to move up to the next League. This makes the current Tournament feel “harder” than previous seasons.
Rest assured that as the Tournament progresses, the top players’ ratings will increase greatly as more matches are played, and the target of 1550 should be an easier goal for those who had placed in Adamantium in previous seasons. In order to mitigate these feelings of frustration while the Tournament is in progress, we will make the next Tournament more inclusive, promoting players who qualify for either the fixed Rating requirement or are in the target percentile.
We are committed to delivering the best possible experience to our PvP players as we can, and we appreciate your continued support as we make improvements to the system.
Cheers!
- M:AA Development Team
