Team-Up Heroes FAQ (Page 1)
When will Team-Ups Heroes launch?
The first Team-Up Heroes will officially launch on Thursday, April 3rd, in preparation for the Captain America movie.
A presale pack will likely be available approximately one week before the official launch of Team-Up Heroes.
We are incredibly excited about seeing this feature go live and launching for everyone. We spent a good amount of time playing our favorite ARPGs and iterating to find the most-fun combination of systems and features to give Team-Up Heroes.
Many new Team-Up Heroes will be added periodically in the weeks, months and years ahead!
Can Team-Up Heroes be obtained with Eternity Splinters or Gs?
Team-Up Heroes can be obtained from Adam Warlock on the same day as their release and in the G Store in a new section for Team-Up Heroes.
The Team-Up Heroes are generally split into the following categories:
Enhanced Team-Up Heroes: 600 Splinters or 900 G
Non-Enhanced Team-Up Heroes: 400 Splinters or 650 G
Very Basic Team-Up Heroes: 200 Splinters or 400 G
Enhanced Team-Up Heroes have new voice acting work done specifically for the team up itself.
Very Basic Team-Up Heroes have no voice work, minimal VFX and minimal new tech associated with them.
Team-Up heroes have a lot of work put into them (much, much more than an enhanced costume), but we're banking on the fact that they will appeal to a broad range of players and they will be a worthwhile investment for the Marvel Heroes development team and plan to support them for infinite time.
Will Team-Up Heroes use items?
Team-Up Heroes have 4 item slots and dedicated Team Up gear that drops in the world.
Team-Up gear drops in common through epic rarity (white through purple) and is affected by Rare Item Find (RIF).
Team-Up gear has custom bonuses specifically made for Team Ups.
Which Team-Up Heroes are available at launch?
The first four Team-Up Heroes will be:
- Spider-Man - The original Marvel Team Up who started the comic series. Dodge-based hero with webs and martial arts.
- Falcon - Directly from the Captain America Winter Soldier movie with flight, twin Mac-10 submachine guns and primarily physical damage attacks
- Firestar - An original from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Primarily energy damage attacks using her microwave powers.
- Magik - Illyana Rasputin, complete with Soulsword and magical/mental based attacks.
How are Team Up Heroes different from each other?
Team Up Heroes have their own unique set of skills and abilities, which you select for them using a 3 x 4 grid of talents.
The talent grid is used to customize the Team-Up Hero to your playstyle. You choose which talents your team up has. The talents can be changed freely in hubs.
Full-Time Team-Up - Stays with you until they are defeated.
Short Duration Team-Up - Stays with you until they are defeated or 30 seconds elapses. Has a very high impact move when called in and does higher damage, but with shorter uptime. Starts with a 3 minute cooldown.
Behind The Scenes Team-Up - Provides you a passive bonus but is never called into play.
How do Team-Ups bind to your heroes?
Team-Ups will be freely used account wide with no restrictions.
Once you acquire a Team-Up Hero, they can be teamed with any of your heroes with no restriction. The Hero Roster interface allows you to easily set which Team-Up is associated with each of your heroes.
Can a Team-Up hero be used by that same hero being played?
Yes, the version of Earth in which Marvel Heroes exists is a juncture of many realities (as you've noticed), so this is no problem.
How do Team-Up Heroes level?
Team-Up Heroes automatically level up or down with your main hero, so you can freely use them on level 1 heroes or when using prestige levels.
Can Team-Up Heroes be defeated?
Although they have a high amount of health, Team-Ups can be damaged and defeated, which means you’ll need to call them in again based on their cooldown. You have the option of gearing them for increased survivability.
Can Team-Up Heroes use costumes?
Team-Ups will not be able to use costumes, but eventually alternate versions of Team-Ups may use different appearances. Example: Kate Bishop or Beta Ray Bill could potentially be a Team Up in the future.
What Team-Ups can we expect in the future?
Many, many, many will be available in the months and years to come, including Domino, Kitty Pryde, Beta Ray Bill, Lockjaw, Wolverine (a classic Marvel team up), Havok, all of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Wonder Man, Iceman (one of the original Amazing Friends) and Bob, Agent of Hydra are just short list of Team Ups that could appear in the future.
Note that a Team-Up Hero can also be a playable hero in the future and vice-versa.
