Strike Pack update to I19 announced

An update to Issue 19 to be called Strike Pack has been announced, with an expected release to live servers in early February. The Strike Pack introduces the Weekly Strike Target and the Rare and Very Rare tiers of the Incarnate Alpha Slot.

  • Weekly Strike Target. Each week one Task Force and one Strike Force (or one Co-Op Task Force) will provide double merits and additional XP; as well as "Notice of the Well" reward required to craft the rare tier abilities of the Alpha Slot.
  • Alpha Slot Upper Tiers. Or save up your Notice of the Well rewards, add a few shards, and upgrade to a "Favor of the Well" required for Very Rare abilities in the Alpha Slot.

When you slot a Rare or Very rare Alpha Slot power, a level shift is applied to your character: a level 50 character fights with the same strength as if they were level 51.
