New in Armory: Knife-boot

Knife-boot equipment is now available to purchase in the store!Another league war was fast approaching. From all across the world, heroes would come together to fight and train to better defend the world should the Legion ever return.

The proper gear to enhance and modify a hero's capabilities could...

Prepare for league wars by Cr@z¥

Cr@z¥ #20314 As a player, Patrols, Gyms, and Missions are a good way to prepare for LWs just collecting all the free goodies they offer. Cards from gyms, MPs from all 3, cards that sell for MPs, and consumables you can't get otherwise. This is just the tip of the iceberg everyone plays in their own way and does things a little bit different. Using these to your advantage also has its disadvantage if you want to hold level over time because it is a continuous source of experience. At the same time...

Previously in Heroes Rising - The Gathering Storm

It all started in Las Vegas last year. No, it was hinted at even longer ago during a celebration aboard the BADGE Space Station. After the defeat of Krampus and rebirth of Lady Phoenix, one story seemed to be coming to a close. That didn't mean characters important to the next story weren't starting to make their appearances... Shizue said, “I have had some help from the World Corps.” “World Corps?” Gar asked. “Yes, Marshal Gamma has been instrumental in taking care of all the horrible technology...

New in Armory: All-seeing Patch

All-seeing Patch equipment is now available to purchase in the store!"Stop it!" Bob said. Why does everyone have to be so mean? My list of people I need revenge upon just keeps getting longer."Look at this guy. He thinks he's Director Nova," Vixen said from her seat in the group therapy session, her voice as nasal and irritating as ever. She pointed at the new eyepatch over Bob's right eye and started to imitate Nova's voice. "We have a global emergency. There is an unsightly crime against fashion...

Winter Olympiad Fan-Fiction: "Five for Five"

 by Madam Marvelous#26130I'd started my hero's journey just before the Summer Heroic Olympiad. I even managed to compete and place in a couple of the events. Third place in one of the Magic Challenges, after some training by Krystal Fae in countering opponents using magic against my shapeshifting abilities. Third place in the ping pong challenge. I felt pretty good about my efforts as my friend Angelus and I competed. But I also discovered that competing in tournaments like that lit a fire...

If you actually color something, you are ahead of everyone else who...

Olympiads... Are they worth it?

by LykosID: 18321TANSTAAFL: There Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch - and just as in the real Olympics there are going to be winners and losers. When looking through who is winning, you might see a lot of the same names each time near the top of the heap. That can be frustrating and disheartening.But let's look at the Heroes Olympiads from a different perspective. Just as in the real Olympics, the chance of actually winning the "Big Three" is pretty slim. Only the best of the best get to stand...

New Activities while Off Duty... while doing Patrols???

by Madam Marvelous#26130Doing Patrols is a great way to get to know the local landscape. While searching for villainy in New Amsterdam, you may find an opportunity to play golf. As you chase down escaped prisoners every month in Purgatory Penitentiary, Gentleman Rex may tip his hat to you after playing a game of billiards. After fighting robots in Free Detroit, well, if you're below 8 Mile, there's really nothing to do. You could spend an afternoon investigating the weirdness on Planet X and find...

Just Playing The Game Makes You Competitive

Player ID: 23278Just wanted to share something about my main toon with the free and budget players when it comes to collecting gear. I have 40 gear slots on my main. That toon has been considered an elite toon by many since the beginning of the game. My current suit does pretty dang good. It has 6 pieces of gear acquired outside the shuffle. 2 from the regular store, 2 from raids, and 2 from patrols. In fact, all 3 locations have some really good pieces of gear for free and budget players. Purgatory,...
