Runestones are earned for vanquishing foes to buy defensive or offensive PvP buffs with a new gear currency. Gambit will be arriving soon to Marvel Heroes, assure Gazillion.
The ”kinetically charged, card-flinging X-man” known as Gambit is due this month. His arrival and that of Fire & Ice PvP serve as a compliment to Game Update 2.0 - Asgard.
”Fire & Ice brings a brand new PvP combat mode to Marvel Heroes, pitting two teams of five players against one another. Players are tasked with guarding allied giants and defeating enemy giants as they move to destroy the opposing team’s base while protecting their own,” described Gazillion. ”During each battle, players receive Runestones for defeating enemy players and giants, which can be traded for offensive and defensive PvP buffs, as well as various utilities.”
“At the end of each match, players receive rewards (experience, credits, and more) based on the overall outcome and stats. By participating in Fire & Ice, players may also earn a new form of currency, Asgardian Crowns, which can be used to purchase a new tier of PvP items.” Loki is the 27th class added to Marvel Heroes, and the first playable baddie.
