Fixes
All Platforms
1. Fixed an issue where the “Hold to Skip” button wouldn’t respond after a battle during a no-downtime update.
2. Fixed a bug preventing costume changes during a Warm-up Doom Match.
3. Resolved an issue where the Presidential Attire Loki costume could not be shared due to blocked words.
4. Fixed an issue where surrendering during the preparation phase could cause the match to not end properly.
Maps and Modes
1. Fixed an issue in the Throne of Knull map, where dynamic Symbiote changes could trap heroes in abnormal terrain.
Heroes
1. Adam Warlock’s Cosmic Comeback Correction: Fixed a cosmic conundrum where Adam Warlock’s Ultimate Ability Bonus Health on revived teammates would vanish if Adam was KO’d. Adam’s golden touch now ensures, even if he bites the cosmic dust!
2. Blade’s Daywalker Detox: After activating Bloodline Awakening, instead of reduced healing, Eric could not receive the Healing Over Time effects from Rocket Raccoon’s Repair Mode or Luna Snow’s Share the Stage. The serum’s been tweaked; Blade now benefits from all friendly healing, whether tech or magic!
That’s about it. News about Season 4 should be making its way out soon.
