Weekly Strike Target

Overview

The Weekly Strike Target (WST) - also referred to as the Weekly Task Force (WTF) or Weekly Strike Force (WSF) - was introduced in the Strike Pack, a mid-issue update between Issue 19 and Issue 20, referred to as Issue 19.5.

A new strike target is announced every Tuesday and awards bonuses through the next week. Strike targets will be either two activities (one hero/one villain) or one co-op activity.

Rewards

• Completing the target activity awards an extra amount of Reward Merits equal to the normal amount of merits awarded in addition to the normal rewards.
  • If the character completing the activity is not Level 50, a large amount (%?) of bonus experience is awarded.
  • If the character is level 50 and has unlocked the Incarnate System, they are awarded with a Notice of the Well, used in Rare and Very Rare Alpha Slot boosts.

For example:

• Completing the Lady Grey Task Force normally awards 37 merits. The LGTF as a strike target awards 74 merits.
• Completing the Lord Recluse Strike Force normally awards a choice of a Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancement or 25 Reward merits. As a strike target, it awards either a SHO plus 25 merits, or 50 merits.

Both of the above examples also award the experience or Notice of the Well if it applies to the completing character.

Badges

Completing a strike target after the first of the week awards progress to a new set of Accomplishment Badges. Completions are cumulative, so subsequent strike target completions do not need to be completed within the same week.
