This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the new “League of Villains” Challenge Event
Don’t get too attached
Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.
It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.
So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.
New League of Villains Heroes
A new challenge event = new heroes…
For more information on see here: 🧪 Early Information on New League of Villains Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v35]
Special Gameplay / Villains Heroes in Challenge Events 
A unique feature of the League of Villains compared to all other Challenge Events is that heroes of the Villains Family have a unique interraction with Challenge Events.
Specifically:
Gain an increase of 2% to your stage score for each Villains Hero in your Team- Heroes of the Villains family bypass the Elemental Barriers, and have increased attack, defense, and health (+20%) in this Challenge Event’s stages
Update: staff have stated that, due to the overwhelming feedback, they are removing the bonus score element. However they specially used the words “for now” meaning it could come back at a later date.
Some Notes:
-
It is not at all clear if this bonus applies to ALL challenge events or just for the League of Villains…
- Update: staff indicated that it would be unique to the heroes of that event.
-
If it Does apply to all challenge events, its even less clear if the bonus applies to using the Villains heroes or if the bonus is specific to using that specific event’s heroes (i.e. using Pirates Heroes in Pirates of Corellia as opposed to using Villains heroes in Pirates of Corellia).
- Update: As above update.
-
It is NOT limited to Unique heroes only… Any and all Villains heroes trigger the +2% bonus… So you can do 5x Skrekok (ratman) in Rare & get +10% bonus score… Which is INSANE given that he is a Hit-3 version of Namahage…
Personal Note from Guv:
I personally am not a fan AT ALL of of this addition to the challenge events as it will drive the competition & higher tier rewards further out of grasp of the “every-day” player and further into the P2W sphere.
We already know that high level competition requires three things: (1) board farming for a great opening board; (2) appearance of Suspicious Chests in most stages; and (3) carpet/ item bombing if 1&2 align.
In terms of the board-farming alone, figures I have seen thrown around is that people need 20+ WE refills to make T100 in ONE difficulty… To get T10 or Top1 in the events, it’s that much or more…
And that’s not even factoring in the huge number of battle items required; which requires even MORE farming either normally or during atlantis in order to restock / supply on crafting materials (or just buying them from the shop with lots of gems…).Now a C2P or F2P player COULD in theory stockpile and compete in a couple of the events each year… BUT with this new bonus being added; that may not be possible anymore.
Consider this, there is no restriction on them being “unique” heroes… So a high spending player could get & level any 5x of the villains hero and grab a +10% boost to their event scores for each stage… Which is a HUGE bonus & boost to push away from the players who do not have that boost…
Also note; there is currently no specified restriction on the 2% score boost applying ONLY to the League of Villains challenge event…so this could affect all 5 of the existing Challenge Events too… not just this one…Add to that, the villains heroes BYPASS the elemental barriers, it means that there is now no restriction/ penalty to taking “reflected” colour heroes in… meaning that they can have a further advantage by taking 5x of a kind to wipe the bosses out…
All in all, having this bonus makes a MASSIVE gap between those that do and those that do not have the heroes…
Whether it will play out this way or not is unknown; but based on initial information…
Summoning Odds
As with all other challenge events, the League of Villains comes with it’s own Summon Portal. See below for information regarding the appearance rates.
APPEARANCE RATES
Rare Classic Hero: 58.1%
Epic Classic Hero: 15.8%
Legendary Classic Hero: 1.5%
Rare Trainer Hero: 5.0%
Epic Trainer Hero: 5.0%
Rare Event Hero: 7.9%
Epic Event Hero: 5.7%
Legendary Event Hero 1.0%
BONUS DRAW
Legendary Hero of the Month: 1.3%
Yes, you saw that right. Trainer Heroes have been added to the summons portal. There is NO CHANGE to the event hero odds from any of the otehr Challenge Event Heroes.
The 10% odds needed for the Trainer Heroes has come from Rare Classic & Epic Classic Heroes

From Pirates of Corellia (which this new event seems to have copied a lot of parts from).
Challenge Coins
The “League of Villains” makes use of the existing Challenge Event Coins currancy for summoning. It also features the Suspicious Chest’s as a rare & random monster which drops 1x Challenge Coin as bonus loot.
{insert image of the Challenge Event Coin}
Note; the new “league of villains” does not yet appear on the Challenge Event Coin so there is no early indication of where the League of Villains will fit into the existing Challenge Event Rotation.
The premise of Suspicious Chests appears to be similar to the concept of Orichalcum Seadragons appearing at random during Atlantis Rises and dropping Atlantis Coins, which can then be used for Summons. One difference is that in initial testing, it appears that Suspicious Chests only drop a single Challenge Coin — but you only need 10 of them for a Summon, not 100.
Event Info – Stages, Bosses, and WE Costs
| Duration | Reflect Colour | Stages |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days | Purple | 10 per difficulty |
| Note: Info is beta so may change… |
The League of Villains follows the the usual set-up for Challenge Events with 3 difficulty tiers (Rare, Epic & Legendary); It is however using the old format of only 10 Stages for each tier.
I haven’t yet had a chance to run through every Stage to note the Bosses for each, but will aim to do so before Beta ends.
| Stage # | World Energy ( R/E/L) |
Waves | Monsters | Boss |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 / 3 / 4 | 3 | Purple | Skrekok (R) & 2 Purple Mobs |
| 2 | 2 / 3 / 4 | 3 | Red & Blue | Edd (P) & Sanngrior (B) |
| 3 | 3 / 4 / 5 | 3 | Purple & Blue | Ingolf (P) & Isrod (R) |
| 4 | 3 / 4 / 5 | 3 | Purple & Blue | Karnov (P) & Asterius (R) |
| 5 | 4 / 5 / 6 | 3 | Purple & Blue | Dark Lord (P), Toxicandra (G), Isrod (R) |
| 6 | 4 / 5 / 6 | 3 | Red | Edd (P), Skrekok (R), Ingolf (P) |

| 10 | 6 / 7 / 8 | 3 | Purple & Blue | Crystalis (B), Dark Lord (P), Asterius (R) |
If I do not get the information posted here to the beta-beat thread; rest assured there will be a stage guide & infographic published before this event goes to game for the first time (based on last seen beta content so there may be changes obviously…

Rewards
NOTE: It is probabe that I made a typo or two in this; so if there is anything that looks Hinky, let me know 
It appears to be using the rewards system for Pirates of Corellia… Just subbing in the Villains Heroes and Avatars for the high tier finishers…
