We've got a new featured location in Marvel Snap and it's The Bifrost!
The Bifrost is a completely new location being added to Marvel Snap as part of the July Season: Love and Thunder. After turn 4, all cards in play will move one location to the right --a very flavorful effect, as The Bifrost is the gateway that allows travel between the Nine Realms in Marvel comics.
The Bifrost most readily synergizes with cards that either get more powerful by moving, like Human Torch and Vulture, or Kraven, who gets bigger when other cards move to him. With The Bifrost as a featured location, it could be a boon for Move-heavy decks that want to take advantage of an additional move effect besides those from cards like Cloak and Heimdall.
However you choose to plan for the new location, you'd better get used to it; being a featured location means that The Bifrost will show up 40% more frequently for 48 hours, from 8 PM PT Tuesday night to 8 PM PT Thursday night.
When this card moves, +5 Power. When this moves to a location, +2 Power for each card your opponent has there.
What Are Featured Locations in Marvel Snap?
There are two different types of location events in Marvel Snap.
- Sunday's hot location that appears 60% more frequently for the next 24 hours.
- Wednesday's featured location that appears 40% more frequently for the next 48 hours.
This helps pave way for new deckbuilding strategies as you may want to be playing something else should the bonus better benefit cards you aren't playing with. For example, we've seen this previously with the featured location, Monster Island, whose boosted appearances meant many players ran Shang-Chi to destroy the 9 Power Monster.
With the Marvel Snap beta, it looks like sometimes we might be seeing older locations being featured, likely due to testing. This isn't the way that it will always work because as announced in the developer livestream, Marvel Snap will be getting a brand new location every week and it will be featured when it is added, as we're seeing now with The Bifrost.
