The ability to command Marvel characters in battle is a staple of Marvel Strike Force, where you’ll collect stronger heroes and villains to fight on your behalf. In May 2021, a Legendary character was revealed, Adam Warlock.
How do you recruit him for your team?
There are a few requirements to meet before you can unlock Adam Warlock. Unfortunately, the Mythical Legendary Event, The Infinity Watch, has ended. Even so, it’s likely it will return in the future.
Adam Warlock’s Requirements
As Adam Warlock’s event is a Mythical Legendary Event, you need to be at the corresponding power level. Here are the minimum requirements for unlocking him:
- Jubilee at five stars
Jubilee was herself introduced at a Legendary Event earlier in 2021. Should you have her, she must be upgraded to at least five stars. Be sure to reserve some Shards for her.
- Four X-Factor characters also upgraded to five stars
As part of the following team requirement, you have to upgrade four X-Factor characters to five stars, too. It’s is because the event is Legendary, and five stars are the minimum requirement for your team’s members.
- Your characters must be Level 65
If you think this Mythic Legendary Event will be simple, then you’re mistaken. Your characters must all be above Level 65. Any lower, and you won’t be able to start.
- Gear Tier 12
Each character can upgrade Gear tiers, and all of them have to reach Tier 12. You can fill Gear slots and then consume the Gear, leveling up once. Repeat until your team has reached Gear Tier 12.
- Reach Iso-8 Class Level 3
Iso-8 is a newer progression system that allows you to customize your characters. You can acquire plenty of Iso-8 Crystals and choose Classes for your hero or villain. For the Infinity Watch Mythic Legendary Event, your team members must be at least Level 3 in a Class.
If you met these requirements, you were allowed to participate in the event and unlock Adam Warlock. The event has seven tiers, though you can unlock him at the fifth.
