By doing PVP instance, players grant Marks of Valor which can be spent in PVP sets, PVP styles, or Prefab MODS. Furthermore, there are tons of PVP feats which will give multiple skill points to empower characters.

Participating in Legend or Arena instances will grant players:

  • 200 Marks of Valor and 2 Marks of Legend (winning)
  • 100 Marks of Valor and 1 Mark of Legend (losing)

Only in Lair Battles , players will obtain 70 Marks of Valor and 2 Marks of Legend for winning and 35 Marks of Valor and 1 Marks of Legend for losing.

Legends PVP

legends

This PVP gameplay allows players to fight with the appearance and superpowers of Iconic Heroes and Villains regardless of whether they are Heroes or Villains. Legend iconics can be purchase with Marks of Legend or Station Cash in the Marketplace.

In Legends, your characters’ level, stats and/or combat rating do not have an effect on Legends. All Legends characters in the game are balanced against each other and have similar stats and abilities. So for new and under-geared players, Legends are the best option to start getting Marks of Valor and Mark of Legends

Legendary Members have access to all Legend Characters and the best part is that these members can buy Marketplace Legend Characters with Marks of Legends also

Arenas PVP

pvp2

This PVP gameplay allows players to fight with the player’s own character. Arena instances require more knowledge about battling with other players and sometimes changing the loadout will be required in battle.

At PVP Arenas, all statistics will be balanced so no matter what Tier you have equipped, yours and your enemies statistics will be the same. However, having tons of skill points will improve your statistics a little bit.
