New Champions

Count Nefaria

Count Luchino Nefaria was the descendant of a long line of Italian noblemen, and used his wealth and connections to become a powerful leader within the Maggia crime syndicate. He furthered his rise to power by subjecting himself to scientific experiments that granted him superhuman abilities, but cost him his life. He was later resurrected as a being made entirely of Ionic energy, rendering him effectively immortal as long as he drains other Ionic beings to maintain his power.

Shathra

Daughter of the Elder Goddesses Oshtur and Gaea, Shathra comes from the world that would come to be known as Loomworld. Shathra was tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, however, after being outdone by her younger sister Neith, she became enraged with jealousy and spite towards her sister and the Great Web she had designed. Consumed by her vengeance and envy, Shathra gave into her feral nature to tear down everything her sister created, one Spider at a time.

Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom send The Summoner on an intel retrieval mission, but they aren't the only ones looking for answers. Will the past come back to haunt The Battlerealm? Find out in Act 9 – Chapter 1: THE RECKONING.

Glorious Games

Introducing our third Saga: Glorious Games! To celebrate the history of The Contest and his triumphant return in Marvel Contest of Champions, The Maestro has declared four months of celebratory games. Each month of the Saga will revolve around a different element of games, starting with September's Circus Maximus and culminating in the celebration of December's Grand Banquet! Featuring a classical antiquity aesthetic, an exciting Champion chase, surprise Champion reworks and brand new kinds of Events and Quests, Glorious Games is sure to usher in our 10-year anniversary celebration in style!

Realm Events

Get ready to work alongside every Summoner in The Battlerealm! Realm Events are a brand new type of Event in which points will be contributed on a global level. Milestone rewards can be claimed once global and individual point contribution thresholds have been reached. For those more competitively-inclined Summoners, ranked rewards will also be up for grabs, including an exclusive and unique player title.

Crystal Cleansing: Realm Event

Crystals are made to be opened, Summoners, and during the Crystal Cleansing Event, we are challenging all Summoners to do exactly that, to the tune of 1 Billion crystals opened! There will be milestones for the Community to hit, and a variety of rewards that are crystals themselves, cosmetic rewards, and resources!  Get those crystal-opening screens ready, Summoners!

Champions Game Calendar

The Champion wants to join in on the Glorious Games and has decided that in order to do that, he must create his own game.  He has crafted Nigh-Invulnerable crystals that only those who have dedicated themselves to building their strength may even have a chance to open! Those who open the crystal will be crowned "Strongest of All."  The Champion expects Summoners to work hard every day (with proper rest on the weekends) to see if they can force the crystal open with raw strength and determination.
