1) First, there is the Easter Fan-Fiction contest hosted by Strange Quark and the Sentinel News. There are two days left to enter, so put your fingertips to keys and tell a story about the strange effects E.B.'s latest candy treat impacted your life. The rewards are there if you are willing to try.
And I have to be honest, I'm a bit disappointed by how few people do try. This is a game about superheroes. You've already created a character, their powers, an avatar... why not take a few minutes and tell a story about them? The stories shared here aren't meant to be War and Peace or 1984!! Judging isn't based on grammar and professional talent. Character driven and immersive into the world your toon lives in are the qualities sought after. Don't worry about rules, but have fun with letting the judges and other readers getting a glimpse of who your characters are.
The first prize here is worth at least 600MP in tradeable Power Cards. That is three spins on the Nova's Mystery shuffle with, what is in many people's opinions, the best shuffle lineup in quite a while.
2) THREE egg hunts: Not only are the heroes after blank eggs during their battles, which will eventually be used as currency in a Easter Village store, but you can also collect Consumable Eggs for use during game play via two other methods.
First, you can collect Special Eggs during Patrols. I would like to point out that this makes doing Patrols a DOUBLE DIPPING event, as AMA parts can still be found while patrolling in the various zones. The experience you gain doing this activity can earn you multiple rewards, and as several of the Christmas season consumables are soon to expire, this will be the best way to replenish your supplies. Those bonus XP eggs, Energy boost eggs, and many, many others can pay off well when used wisely.
Second, you can find Player Decorated eggs by searching in various sites on game pages that have a special red box in the top right corner. These consumables not only highlight the efforts of players creative abilities, but they offer boosts and boons that will help any hero win the fight when the time comes. You can't win them if you don't search for them, so get to it.
Decorating the egg must take a MINIMUM of effort to be shared in game, so don't think you can hit it and quit it quickly, but every day you can submit up to four eggs, which in turn awards you 8 blank eggs if all four are found over the period of the event. When you find an egg while exploring, you also collect 2 blank eggs, so this is a good way to earn currency for shopping with.
There is a contest for the best designs on the Facebook Heroes Rising Players Page, so if you come up with a magnificent piece, submit it. Otherwise, last year, the colored eggs that showed a significant attempt at creativity and/or effort were rewarded with Defensive Power Cards featuring the art submitted. There is no guarantee this will happen again, but if it does, put yourself in a position to gain by doing your best, or at least not the bare minimum.
4) Flower Throwing: By equipping one of the holiday themed Mask or Glasses Avatar pieces, when you fight in battles, you will have a chance at throwing a flower at your opponent. Each flower thrown will earn you 1XP point, so even if you lose the fight, you will gain some experience from taking part in this event. There are prizes for throwing flowers, based on quantity over the day and over the term of the overall event.
You can check your daily and weekly progress by clicking on the wooden sign image in the center of the screen while on the Easter Village page.
If you are in the top 3 for each day, you have a more than fair chance at earning 3 Power Cards, which can add up if you can claim the top spot. The top 10 players can earn up to 2 each day, and the top 100 can earn one. Continuous participation will earn more and more, including a new piece of gear.
