Springtime Seasonal Event

Poison Ivy is back to wreak havoc on the people of Gotham City! We’ve added three new Feats, new Spring-themed Base items, and new Spring-themed gear. Collect Seed Pods and purchase Spring items from “Arborist Louis” next to Swamp Thing in the Watchtower or “The Misgiving Tree” next to Poison Ivy in the Hall of Doom.

Villains can learn more about Poison Ivy’s plans by speaking to her in the Hall of Doom’s Pit, while Heroes can speak to Swamp Thing in the Watchtower’s Aquacultural Area to help bring down Ivy and her minions. Plus, speak to Veronica Cale (Villains) or Doctor Sarah Charles (Heroes) to find out more about taking on Swamp Thing. Level Requirement: 10

Celebrate this year’s Spring event with our new Holi Festival celebration! Pummel your friends and foes alike with handfuls of colorful powder!

New Feats:

• Midnight Spring Dream
• Holi Snikes!
• Wooden Chip On Your Shoulder

Spring Seasonal

• Increased daily Seed Pod gains to 16 per day (up from 14).
• Reduced the cost of most existing items on the vendor.

Episode 37 Birds of Prey
BoP: Volcano Mining Facility

• Lex Luthor will reapply his defensive shield in the power core phase in rare cases that it gets dropped when it shouldn't.
• The snow tornadoes have more of a grace period in between reapplying their affects to the same target.

BoP: The Clock Tower

• Final Boss, Elite: Improved protection from Exostatic from Exobyte Overcharge field of the same color - this protection could sometimes fall off for about second now and then despite standing in the field.
• Final Boss, Event version: When Exostatic is triggered, it now does 50% less damage.
• Final Boss, Event version: All other damage reduced by 40-50%.
• The feats Droning On (Normal version) and Elitely Droning On (Elite version) will be granted after the defeat of the first boss fight rather than on completion of the raid.

BoP: Fire & Brimstone

• Normalized the Arachnobot Mk. 2's "Head Butt" attack damage, and now the damage is split among targets.
• Removing a troublesome Alpha Lex Luthor Rocket attack and adjusting another one to ground players if they're hit by it.
• Players should no longer take damage from the lava pools during any of the cinematic cameras.
• Players who get knocked out of turrets because they successfully removed Brimstone's Apolyptian Shield or freed Controlled Jimmy Olsen now get a short defense buff so they will less likely be KOed while regaining their orientation.
• Players in the turret, attempting to free Controlled Jimmy Olsen should be targeted by Jimmy with a lot less frequency.
• Alpha Lex Luthor's and Controlled Jimmy Olsen's Rocket Barrage should deal a little less damage, and players should be a little less likely to take damage from a rocket that exploded nearby.
• Brimstone's behaviors have changed so he shouldn't occasionally target his closest enemy
• The Brimstone Elite fight should be a little more challenging, and a little less easy to defeat without a tank.
• Alpha Lex Luthor's Contagious Source Ring attack that he uses in Elite mode should be a little more forgiving, and the damage should only be dealt to players who are in the area indicated by the FX (no matter who has the Contagion).
