Hello everyone, and welcome to the week! It’s time once again for our look back at the noteworthy updates of the last seven days. We’ve got some new Marvel game updates, a few surprises for some premium favorites, and the usual free-to-play suspects. In other words, it’s another typical non-holiday week for those of us here in the TouchArcade Update Emporium. Of course, you can keep an eye out for updates yourself using AppShopper or by participating in the TouchArcade forums. This weekly summary is just here to fill you in on the things you might have missed. Let’s dig in!

I don’t know, something about this game seems awfully familiar. Oh well, probably just in my head. Anyway, it seems like it’s pretty popular, and it has an update, so here we are. It’s how these things go.

New stuff includes a new event called The Karuak Ceremony, an Alliance shop, some new styles, more city decorations, and some new commander Expertise skills. There are also some adjustments and improvements to the UI, and some bug fixes. I haven’t played this one at all so I can’t speak to how significant these additions are, but it looks like a fair-sized chunk of goodies. Enjoy the chunks of goodies.

Okay, these kinds of updates are never that interesting, but I try to put in a little something for everyone in these articles, so there has to be at least one never-ending matching puzzle game that only added a bunch of new stages with little context or fanfare. This week it’s Toon Blast! You know, that game that always shows up when you watch advertisements to continue or get some extra coins in other games. While King games usually only add 15 or 20 new stages per update, Toon Blast goes all out and adds a whopping 50 new levels to play. So if you are blasting toons with wild abandon, here you go. Hopefully it keeps you busy for a couple days. Ah, hello there, Fortnite.

A good friend to this series of articles, you are. Always with the updating and the being popular and what-not. Not too much this time around, mind you. Gabriola bold italic font. What we’ve got here is a semi-newish area with the transformation of Loot Lake into Leaky Lake, and the absurd but awesome addition of balloons as a means of sailing through the wild blue yonder. You can enjoy a nice balloon trip, but the balloons can also be popped in case you need to have a balloon fight.

Do you have what it takes to be the best balloon kid around? Hello, kitty world! Given the title and overall theme of this game, you wouldn’t think we’d have to wait as long as we have for The Champion to be added. Then again, The Champion isn’t all that popular, well-liked, or even frequently used in the comics, so I guess it makes sense. Anyhow, there’s a new event called The Champion’s Clash where you have to battle a series of opponents culminating in a battle against The Champion himself. Also in this update, the new Back Issues bring back classic events for players to take another crack at them.

The first is none other than Ultron’s Assault, which players with long memories will recall was one of the very first Contest of Champions events. There’s more to see in this update, but I need to keep it brief, so check out the game for more info if you want it. On the one hand, I love that the Warriors Three are finally coming to Avengers Academy.

Hogun, Fandral, and the Valorous Volstagg are an important part of Thor’s supporting cast, after all. Unfortunately, as is the usual case for this game of late, you’re probably not going to get any of the three new characters without either having an enormous stroke of luck or laying out some cheddar, and not a small amount, either. The returning characters are cool, though, including Angela, Odin, Valkyrie, Beta Ray Bill, Thor, and Jane Thor.

Even if you already have them, you can use this as an opportunity to beef them up, I suppose. Ah, if it isn’t Fire Emblem Heroes. To tell the truth, I stopped playing this a while ago, but I enjoyed it for quite a long while. It’s certainly a great example of how to translate a traditional franchise into a free-to-play model aimed at the mobile masses, and I hope all who intend such endeavors pay attention to how it did that. Part of it is through great updates that include new content and address player concerns. In this version, we’ve got a new mode called Aether Raids, as well as a new item, Heroic Grails, which allow you to summon special heroes from Grand Hero Battles and other modes.
