Marvel Snap is coming closer to its full release, and we have a big patch in front of us. Some nerfs and updates happened to the Shop and the in-game currency, and we’re here to tell you all about it.
Marvel Snap Patch Notes Release – 9.16.0
NEW FEATURE: Collector’s Tokens are here! You can earn them starting at Collection Level 500, then use them in the Token Shop to target new cards or the card you’ve been waiting for most.
NEW CARDS: A bunch of new cards have been added to the game! We’ve introduced two brand new series: Series 4 including 10 cards; and Series 5 including 6 new cards. The new cards have a chance to drop from Collector’s Caches, and Collector’s Reserves, and can also be found in the Token Shop.

GENERAL UPDATES
- Card Boosters no longer appear as rewards from Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves. (They have been replaced by Collector’s Tokens!)
- Improved bad luck protection for Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves. Going forward, players at the same Collection Level will have nearly the same number of cards.
- When you “Favorite” a Card Variant (by pressing the Star button above the card), you now have the option to automatically swap that variant into all decks that contain that card.
- During a game, players can now tap their opponent’s avatar or their own avatar to view player titles in the pop-up avatar menu.
- The End Turn button is disabled for a few seconds when your opponent Snaps – this should make it harder to accidentally accept a Snap.
- Performance improvements for app launch/loading times.
- Added support for “Sign in with Apple” on PC.

ART & VISUAL EFFECTS
- Infinity Border visuals have been improved. Cards upgraded to Infinity look WAY COOLER!
- Flare modifiers earned from Infinity Split now have a chance to roll one of seven different colors: red, green, blue, purple, black, white, and gold. Flare modifiers unlocked before this update will now rotate through multiple colors.
- Card Emojis have received a bit of polish to make them a little easier to use and see.
- Logos have been added to Cards & Location Power Modifiers in-game. (Tap on a card or location to see what’s modifying it!)

Balance Updates
CARD UPDATES
Angela [2/1] -> [2/0] Angela is a card that sees a lot of prevalence across many decks, so we’re nerfing her a bit to make other options more appealing.
Destroyer [6/16] -> [6/15] Destroyer is making big waves. Lowering his power by 1 will give opponents more of a chance to win the Location he’s played to.
Mysterio [2/5] -> [2/4] Mysterio has more Power than other 2-Cost cards because of how many “slots” he takes up at other Locations. However, in many cases, those extra 2/0 Illusions end up being quite beneficial, so we’re lowering his base Power by 1.
Sera [5/5] -> [5/4] Sera is slightly too good right now, so we’re shaving a bit of Power off.
Onslaught’s ability now stacks additively with effects like Mystique or Onslaught’s Citadel rather than exponentially. When you start stacking Onslaught’s doubling effect, things get out of hand very quickly! We want to avoid situations where players are waiting for cards like Ironheart to play their animations for long stretches of time, so we’re changing the stacking to be additive instead of exponential. Nick Fury has been added to Series 3.

Prima Games comment: All of these nerfs were definitely necessary. Angela has so much potential and little to no counters in the game, Destroyer’s combo deck can be busted, especially when you prevent destruction with Cosmo or Armor, Mysterio was crazy in some decks, and Sera allowed quite a few late-game combos or outright broke the game if she got cheated in earlier. The Onslaught was a meme for a few days when he, mixed with Onslaught’s Citadel, Blue Marvel and multiple copies of himself could raise your Location Power to over four thousand.
