THIS WILL BE HUGE!! ..."magic" update GBR or epic quest...

Storyline / Theme (what the “magic” update is likely about)

• A new magically themed update is being teased as “the curtain begins to rise.”
• This suggests additions such as:
  • new magical characters,
  • power upgrades,
  • and potentially new content centered on a more focused “magic” concept.
• The creator ties the theme to likely raid/world-boss and epic quest directions, implying that “magic” may be expanded or re-focused around a specific subset of heroes.

Gameplay highlights and what players should expect

New / featured characters and upgrades (likely)

• Players are encouraged to check Abilities → sort by “Magic” to see the current pool of magic-tagged heroes.
• The creator argues the most logical “core” magical update would involve:
  • Dormammu
  • Doctor Strange
  • Clea

Level 4 progression / uniforms

• Clea is highlighted because she has never received a costume yet.
• Dormammu is highlighted as needing a Level 4, described as the only native lower-tier character missing Level 4 at the time of discussion.
• Other potential “magic” candidates that might receive Level 4 and/or uniforms include:
  • Caecilius
  • Baron Mordo
  • (Human-)being
  • Clea
  • Satan
  • Sorceress
  • Morgan le Fay
• A possible exception mentioned (not receiving Level 4) is:
  • Damon Gellstrom

Why other magic characters matter (even without the strict “Magic” tag)

• The creator emphasizes that characters can still “feel magical” via abilities/titles even if they don’t carry the Magic tag.
• Examples:
  • Wiccan: described as “definitely a magical character,” with skills like magic field and spell bomb, though discussed as not necessarily tagged the same way.
  • Sylvie: not the “Magic” tag, but described as capable of “Asgardian magic,” including abilities like magical mist.
• Key takeaway: the tag doesn’t fully determine who is “magical.”

Suggested raid / world-boss direction (GBR / GBR-style content)

The creator proposes that the GBR update might involve one of two approaches:

• Shuma-Gorath as a new angle
  • Connected to Doctor Strange lore and framed as aligned with Strange’s recurring villain vibe.
• More likely: reworking the current GBR boss, Dormammu
  • Since Dormammu has been the GBR boss for a long time, the creator expects a remake/rework rather than an entirely new boss with brand-new mechanics/animations.
  • The imagined structure: Dormammu’s revamped form could align with which characters receive uniforms/Level 4 in the same update.

Epic quest possibility (alternate content lane)

• The update could tie into an epic quest instead of (or alongside) GBR changes.
• Suggested theme: witches / coven / magical coven-style content.
• Possible inclusions:
  • Wiccan (as a featured character and likely request-favorite)
  • Sylvie or other witch/magic-related characters
  • 4–5 additional characters, comparable in scale to other tag-themed epic quest updates
• The creator speculates the update might:
  • expand the existing “Magic” tag, or
  • introduce a new tag for witches/coven-style characters.

Strategies / key planning tips mentioned

Pre-update preparation

• Check Abilities → sort by “Magic” to identify current magic-tagged heroes and plan roster priorities.

PvP meta / loadout planning (speculative)

• The creator notes a balancing concern around “sword” set choices:
  • “Mind” vs “Magic” builds may become harder to balance if the update adds strong PvP fighters for the Magic tag shortly before Doctor Doom (linked to an upcoming Avengers movie upgrade).
• Prediction: players may need to build multiple sword sets to stay competitive across both mind and magic metas.

Key dates / schedule (as discussed)

• Teaser stream: October 9th at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern
• The creator says there will be no live broadcast Monday.
• The update timing is implied to follow shortly after the stream (around October 13/14).
• It’s described as not happening “next week,” but tied to the October 9 reveal.
