Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle

Heroes and Villains from all
walks of life have more opportunities than ever before to get in on the
action. With that in mind, Game Update 9: Assemble for Battle introduces two new features: Novice Raids and Role Optional Alerts.
Novice Raids

• Get into the fight sooner with alternate versions of all three Fortress of Solitude, the Batcave, and the Kahndaq raids.
  
• Experience the same epic storylines and all the action of Expert Raids in a more forgiving format.
  
• Earn the same kinds of rewards (though in lesser quantities) so you can continue to gear and grow your characters.
  

Role Optional Alerts

• Queue faster for Alerts and form groups with any combination of roles.
  
• Utilize the Team Buff to make up for whatever role or roles your group is lacking, as long as you stick together.
  
• If you don't have a Tank, everyone will take less damage overall.
  
• If
  you don't have a Healer, any Controller or Damage character will
  trigger a small amount of regeneration when your health dips below a
  certain point. If you're a Tank, you'll always have some regeneration.
  
• If you don't have a Controller, everyone will get varying amounts of additional power periodically.
