‘Marvel Snap’ adds new tournament-style Conquest mode on June 13
New mode will use the Battle Mode format in order to determine the best "Marvel Snap" players
“Marvel Snap,” which was my favorite game of 2022, continues to add new features. A few months ago, the developer, Second Dinner, introduced a Battle Mode, which let players duke it out in a one-on-one competition. Now, the team is launching its Conquest mode on June 13.
It’s a tournament-style mode that caters to the highly competitive. It uses the aforementioned Battle MOde, where players have 10 health instead of Cosmic Cubes and they’ll engage in a series of battles to defeat an opponent. Players risk their health instead of cubes, and the victor is the one who can get their opponent’s health to 0.
What’s notable is that decks are locked, so you can’t switch them out. Players will learn their opponent’s style over the match, since it becomes a battle of wits as they figure out counters and predict what they have. Because it’s the Battle Mode format, the matches will go on a little longer so this isn’t a mode you can just pick up and play. You need to block out time.
Thankfully, players can check out the mode for free in the first-level of Conquest called the Proving Grounds. Getting passed that phase earns players a Silver Ticket, which they can use in the Silver Conquest. Beating that tier earns a Gold Ticket and beyond that is the Infinite Ticket. Players can use that ticket on the final week of the season for a chance to earn the Infinite Avatar Frame.
The toughest part about all this is that a single-loss ends a run. They’ll need to earn another ticket or purchase one with in-game gold. Included with the Conquest Mode are Medals, which are awarded with each win. They can be used at the seasonal Medal Shop.
