Bug Fixes
- Text Fix: Doctor Octopus's Ultimate Ability, "Superior Villain," and Proxima Midnight's Special Ability, "Star Throw," were missing "this attack cannot be counterattacked." The combat behavior is correct and remains unchanged.
- Deathpool's Passive Ability, "Death Comes for All," was incorrectly triggering after she was eliminated by Doom's Special Ability, "Doomsday Dictator."
- Ikaris's Passive Ability, "Eternal Leader," was incorrectly granting Defense Up and Speed Up to the most injured ally if that ally had any negative effect cleared on Ikaris's turn.
- Kate Bishop's Passive Ability, "Stubborn Defiance," was not attacking a random enemy and applying Blind and Slow when an ally drops to less than 50% Health outside the Alliance War game mode.
- Players were unable to back out of the Squad Select screen if character assets were still loading.
- Players were incorrectly allowed to donate twice to their Alliance if they donated at the time of the daily reset.
- The animation when opening a T1 Iso-8 Orb was momentarily choppy.
- Text Fix: The T1 Level 3 Iso-8 Upgrade text incorrectly included "Gain WAR READY," when that shouldn't happen until T1 Level 4. The combat behavior was correct and remains unchanged.
- Elsa Bloodstone's animation would stutter after eliminating an enemy with the second attack from her Special Ability, "Trick Shot."
- Morbius's hand was animating through other characters on the Squad Select screen.
- Shuri's Special Ability, "Instant Upgrade," was not generating +1 Ability Energy for herself or allies when she was equipped with T2 Iso-8 Blue Level 3 for the Fortifier Class.

- On the Squad Select Screen, the particles glowing during Magneto's animation were nearly brighter than the sun. We dimmed this animation.
- Text Fix: T2 Iso-8 Blue Level 3 should have stated that the character will gain two stacks of Minor Defense Up on their next turn.
- Misty Knight was returning to her position without her firearm after defeating an enemy with her Special Ability, "Armed Response."
Known Issue
A bug was partially corrected that caused some players to not load past 13% while connecting via mobile data with certain carriers. Those affected players can now connect but might see the game stall when downloading assets. As a workaround, connect via Wi-Fi and in Options > Advanced, toggle the feature “Download all Assets on Wi-Fi.” After all assets have been downloaded, there shouldn’t be any connection issues via mobile data. We're working to correct this asset download issue.
