She’s finally here, Avengers! Crystal Dynamics has released Marvel’s Avengers update 1.67, which is tagged as update 2.5 by the devs, and brings The Mighty Thor Jane Foster into the roster! Read on for the full Marvel’s Avengers June 28 patch notes.
Update: Offical patch notes are out and released by Crystal Dynamics!
The official patch notes have not been released yet, but we’ve outlined the main info about Jane Foster, and her abilities and gear.
Intrinsic Ability:
All-Mother’s Blessing – All-Mother’s Blessing builds its overcharge meter with melee attacks.
Overcharge:
God Tempest – Once full, she unleashes her God Tempest, which increases ranged hammer damage and creates shockwaves with each hit.
All Mother’s Blessing and God Tempest can be modified with Mastery skills to boost damage, increase the strength of shockwaves, and improve Intrinsic generation and duration.
Ultimate Heroic:
The All-Weapon – her brand-new Ultimate Heroic. Drawn from the pages of her Thor and Valkyrie runs, Jane sends Mjolnir to seek and destroy nearby enemy targets. Meanwhile, she calls forth the All-Weapon Undrjarn to protect her, reducing all damage taken while smiting her foes.
The All-Weapon has a full set of specializations and allows you to customize Mjolnir’s strikes, making them faster and channeling a powerful shock status against nearby enemies. Jane can even use Mjolnir as a personal orbiting defense shield.
Players can also expect more finesse with Jane Foster compared to Odison, and this includes Quick Fire, a new ranged attack combo that allows the Mighty Thor to make a second more powerful ranged attack by timing her next throw as she catches Mjolnir on its return.
Jane’s abilities, such as her Ranged Power Attack, also draw their inspiration from the epic combat in the comics. A notable example of this is the Seek and Pin upgrade to her Ranged Attack, which empowers Mjolnir to seek out and pin enemies without needing to aim.
Her expert control even extends to melee strikes with Earth’s Finest, which adds a hammer toss to her light attack combo for extra reach. Jane also puts her own spin on classic Odinson moves like Headstrong. She relies on her Thunderkick – a brutal front kick – to send enemies flying.
GEARING UP
Due to their similar origins, Jane will share many Gear Perks with Thor; when looking at gear stats, these perks will feature Thor’s icon (Mjolnir). Gear Perks that are unique to Jane with have her icon and feature hero-specific specialization. For example:
Classic Set Gear Perks will focus on perk synergy and highlight range-focused abilities while improving the capability of each heroic attack.
Critical Recall: When returning to your hand, any target hit with your hammer will be a critical hit.
Lethal Ranged Hammer Restoration: Defeating an enemy with a ranged hammer attack drops a Regen pack.
Technical Set Gear Perks will focus more on her overcharged mechanic and how it differs from Thor.
Unarmed Overdrive: Unarmed attacks generate 15% more Overcharge energy per attack.
Lethal Rampant Extension: Defeating enemies while God Tempest is active will extend the duration of the ability by 2.5 seconds.
Apex Set Gear Perks will tie into Jane’s Heroic Ultimate ability.
Ultimate Cryo Hazzard: Activating an Ultimate Heroic on the ground creates a Cryo Hazard.
Outside of today’s patch, Crystal Dynamics has also shared what’s coming in the future of Marvel’s Avengers! Here’s what the studio had to say about the future of Marvel’s Avengers:
THE FUTURE
Following the addition of The Mighty Thor in patch 2.5, we’ll be adding to the game’s story with two new challenges as part of an ambition to advance our narrative through hero and villain-centric content. The first is a villain-focused Warzone that will reveal M.O.D.O.K.’s fate after the defeat of his Kree Sentinel.
The Warzone will lead our heroes to AIM’s Cloning Lab, a new Omega Level Threat where your high-level strike team will challenge and defeat a revitalized M.O.D.O.K in a new multiplayer villain fight. Cloning Labs will be new end-game content that rewards conquering heroes with high power level gear from brand-new exotic gear sets. You can read more in our recent June Development Update.
Once new developments regarding the new Omega Level Threat and other stuff are revealed, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to update the post.
