SEASON 1 · WEEKLY ROADMAP

Week 2 — Permanent Decisions

Mason UR, Hero Level Swap, Crimson Legion and Lv3/Lv4 Cities.

ScopeModern Serum rollout

Quick read

Week 2 is where Season 1 stops being only a resistance race and begins forcing permanent account decisions and organized City defense.

Facts

  • Maintained schedule: Day 8 Mason SSR→UR and Hero Level Swap; Day 10 Lv3 Cities; Day 14 Lv4 Cities.
  • Crimson Legion attacks during its active window on Tuesday and Friday in maintained-current guidance.
  • Current Mason client rules retain hero level, reset stars to 3★ UR and skills to Lv1, and refund eligible Skill Medals/Wall shards.

BlackBar Gaming recommends

  • Decide whether Mason still creates real account value before promoting.
  • Use Level Swap only when it upgrades a meaningful long-term hero.
  • Treat Crimson Legion as territory defense, not just a personal reward event.

R4 / R5

  • Publish Crimson Legion targets early, manage limited defense slots intelligently and keep mapping Lv3/Lv4 captures into the Week 3 Lv5/Lv6 route.

Watch out

  • Wall 160 is a shard-preparation target, not a requirement to press Promote.
  • Do not confuse active-season Crimson Legion with off-season Queen’s Revenge.
