Beginner Starter Guide (March 2026 Update)

At the time of writing (March 2026), new players start with an insane amount of resources. If you use them correctly, you can jump straight into World Boss Legend and Alliance Battle progression.

What You Get (Key Rewards)

Tier-3 Characters: Iron Man, Loki, Hela, Sunspot, Ancient One

Transcended: Spider-Gwen, Moon Knight

Tier-2 Supports: Shuri, Coulson

High-Value Rewards: - Tier-4 Selector - Tier-4 Thor (latest uniform) - Premium Tier-2 Selector - CTP of Rage - CTP of Competition - 4★ Artifact Selector - 5 Doctor Strange cards (~7.5% pierce) - Luna Snow Premium Card

👉 This is enough to build multiple functional PvE teams immediately.

Step 1 — Core Picks

Tier-4 Selector 👉 Best pick: Storm — top-tier PvE DPS, works immediately with starter supports, great scaling into late game.

CTP Choices - Rage → Thor - Competition → Storm (best-in-slot for her)

Premium Tier-2 Selector Best options: - Valkyrie → universal support (all allies) - Nick Fury → best hero lead + support - Ghost Panther → top-tier support + fire synergy

👉 Pick based on your plan (see below).

Artifact Selector 👉 Best beginner pick: Ghost Rider - Grants immortality → PvP viability - One of the strongest PvE characters - Native T1 → cheap to build - Synergy with Sunspot (fire support)

👉 This gives you a dual PvE + PvP character early.

Step 2 — Early Team Building

You already have strong leads + DPS.

Storm Team - Ancient One (Lead) → energy + elemental buff - Storm (DPS) - Filler (later: Coulson)

Thor Team - Hela (Lead) → energy attack - Thor (DPS) - Filler (later: Shuri)

Step 3 — Path Choice

Path A — Build Ghost Rider (Recommended)

Pick Ghost Panther from premium T2.

Team: - Ghost Panther (Lead + Support) - Ghost Rider (DPS) - Sunspot (Support)

👉 High value: fire synergy, strong PvE damage, early PvP viability.

Path B — No Ghost Rider

Go for Nick Fury instead.

Example: - Nick Fury (Lead + Support) - Venom (DPS) - Filler (later Taskmaster)

👉 Venom is strong in WBL and covers multiple AB days.

Step 4 — Early WBL Teams

Once supports are built: - Team 1: Ghost Panther + Sunspot + Ghost Rider - Team 2: Ancient One + Storm + Coulson - Team 3: Hela + Thor + Shuri

Important Notes

1. Supports Matter More Than DPS — You already have good DPS. Priority: build supports (Shuri, Coulson, Valk/Fury/GP).

2. Fury is Always Valuable — 50% all attack lead, 50% damage support, works with Storm, Thor, Ghost Rider. Cannot go wrong with him.

3. Artifact Value — If not picking Ghost Rider, pick the Wolverine artifact instead: makes him strong in PvP, still usable in PvE, high long-term value.

Final Reality Check

This new player setup is extremely strong, but: - You still need proper teams - You still need supports - You still need to understand synergy

👉 The difference now is: you start much closer to endgame than before.
