The Marvel Strike Force Age of Annihilus Update: Simplifying Currency and Stores
The upcoming Age of Annihilus update for Marvel Strike Force promises to revolutionize the in-game economy by simplifying currency systems and store mechanics. After thorough evaluations of various campaigns, events, and game modes over the years, developers have concluded that the increasing complexity has hindered players’ ability to engage fully with events and manage resources effectively.
A significant challenge in resource management has been the inflation of currency balances, which has led to imbalances in game mode stores and limited avenues for acquiring valuable items. To combat this, developers are introducing a streamlined approach that focuses on one primary currency per Chapter, along with a brand-new store featuring high-demand items.
Curious about the specifics of this new currency and store? Let’s dive deeper into what players can expect.
The Intel Store: Chapter-Specific Rewards
With the Age of Annihilus update, each Chapter will introduce a distinct store, starting with the Intel Store in the first Chapter. These stores will serve a similar purpose to the monthly and seasonal Event Stores previously encountered by players, but will specifically aid in combating Annihilus and his minions.
The Intel Store will offer an array of valuable items, including:
- New Character Shards
- Crimson Gear
- Purple Iso-8
- L4 Training Materials
Throughout the Chapter, players can look forward to the release of powerful new unlockable Characters available exclusively in this store.
Understanding Intel Currency
The Intel Store will feature some of the most sought-after items in Marvel Strike Force. However, to claim these rewards, players will need to gather Intel—a new currency introduced in this update.
Players can earn Intel by engaging in various activities, such as participating in events, utilizing the Command Center, battling through different game modes, and achieving milestones. Important to note is that any accumulated Intel will transition into a Legacy Currency at the close of each Chapter.
Introducing Supply Credits and the New Supply Shop
To further streamline accessibility to resources and shards, the developers plan to reduce the total number of in-game currencies available. This will include the creation of Supply Credits, a versatile currency aimed at simplifying transactions within the game’s stores and its new Supply Shop.
The following currencies will be converted to Supply Credits following the Age of Annihilus update:
- Blitz Credits
- Gear Credits
- Arena Credits
- Raid Credits
- Elite Raid Credits
- War Credits
- Elite War Credits
- Cosmic Crucible Credits
- Elite Cosmic Crucible Credits
