Following the epic Dark Phoenix saga, Kabam has rolled out an exciting new update for Marvel Contest of Champions. This update introduces two fresh faces to the fray: Spider-Woman, who swings into action on April 17th, and Lumatrix, the inaugural Eidol Champion of 2025, debuting on April 9th. Both characters bring unique abilities to the game, with Spider-Woman leveraging her spider-enhanced skills and espionage prowess, while Lumatrix dazzles as a lethal assassin with light manipulation powers, created by The Founders. To add Lumatrix to your roster, you'll need to gather Light Essence from Battlegrounds, Saga Incursions, and Raids, with the event running until June 4th.
Alongside these new champions, the update also introduces the latest chapter of Act 9.2, new quests, and special events, all packed with valuable rewards. One of the highlights is the Spy Games quest, where Black Widow teams up with Spider-Woman to delve into the mysterious arrival of the Eidols. This thrilling narrative runs from March 9th to May 7th, promising danger and deception at every turn as they unravel the sinister light show orchestrated by Lumatrix.
Adding to the excitement, Deadpool joins the fun with Red & Dead’s Discount Shed, running from April 25th to May 2nd. Convinced by Red Guardian, Deadpool offers a treasure trove of special rewards, including event currency, crystals, and bonuses. Following closely, the Heart of Fire Sale from May 7th to 14th gives players a chance to snag valuable Champions and rewards through Heart of Fire crystals.
Later this month, the Thunderbolts Daily Super Event will shake up the seven-day supply drop, running from April 18th through May 2nd. By achieving milestones, players can earn Poolshields, which can be exchanged for rewards during Red & Dead’s Discount Shed. Additionally, daily supply drops will be available from April 25th to May 23rd, ensuring that regular logins translate into more free rewards.
