As previously discussed, starting with the upcoming Marvel HeroClix: Spider-Man Beyond Amazing set we’ll be implementing a number of rules changes mostly focused on making terrain a more dynamic aspect of the game. In today’s article, we will communicate how this will affect map design going forward. In broad strokes, the changes to map design are:

•    Less Symmetrical Maps
•    Less Terrain Clutter
•    A More Action-Focused Map Size

Greetings HeroClix Masterminds! 

 Over the past two years we have examined and learned from our last rules update. The 2021 rules update lived up to its goals of making the game more accessible to players, and we still plan to adhere to the spirit of that update. Whereas that update focused on streamlining the core gameplay, this small slate of changes will focus on increasing the excitement and flavor of most games without markedly increasing the complexity of its rules. Rules you read about in these articles won’t take effect until closer to the release of Marvel HeroClix: Spider-Man Beyond Amazing, when players have the updated rulebook in-hand. As with all rules updates, we will reveal the PAC and Comprehensive rulebook ahead of that release. 

Over the course of this series, we will walk you through all the upcoming changes. Our goal is to both demonstrate the fun behind these changes as well as to clarify any initial questions that you may have. Individual articles will go more in-depth, but in broad strokes this specific rules update began with a single question: How do we make standard objects matter again?

Greetings HeroClix players!

We’ve got three things to share with you today: Silver Age, the 2021 Modern Age Rotation, and a special WizKids Q&A Session on Twitch!

Silver Age

A new and fun HeroClix format will be coming to tabletop and online play near you soon – Silver Age!

Why a new format? Why now? What sets will it include? These are all great questions.

Silver Age is arguably a long time coming. Initially, Golden Age scratched the itch for players who wanted to play older figures in their collection or enjoyed a bigger pool of figures to strategize from. As HeroClix approaches its 20^th anniversary, the reality is that such a large pool of figures is prohibitive even for players who have been playing for 5 or more years. With thousands of figures to choose from, many figures would rarely be considered for play.

Silver Age is a recognition that many players and stores want to support a format where they can play their figures after they rotate out of Modern Age. Since we haven’t established an intermediate format, stores often found their own creative solution. Those solutions vary greatly from venue to venue. The format your store supports is likely to be different from the format your friend participated in at another store. By defining Silver Age, we hope that it will be a standardized and enjoyable format. If you’re wondering, “why now?” – since figures are about to rotate, we don’t want players to trade away portions of their collections only to quickly want them for an upcoming format.

Silver Age includes all the figures from Superior Foes of Spider-Man and newer. Figures in this format all have the dial printed on the back of the card. Our goal is for the format to be large enough to include fun, powerful, and fresh synergies, while not being so enormous that only the very best players could make sense of the opportunities.

Since this format is new, we’ll be keeping a close eye on it. This includes which figures do well, which elements are overplayed, etc. As needed, we will update the watch list or even ban figures. Please see the 2 figures banned for Silver Age below, as well as the Silver Age Watch List. In the future, figures might be banned in Silver Age even if they’re legal in Modern Age, since the needs of the formats are different.
