Everything we know about Marvel Snap’s Nexus Events

Marvel Snap is set to release their first Nexus Events later this month, so we wanted to get a quick guide out on how they work and what players can expect from them.

In Marvel lore, Nexus events are occurrences which alter the timeline. These events can be as important as starting a war or as innocuous as someone being late for work. Whenever a Nexus event happens, the person that caused that event spawns a ‘variant’ of themselves that exists in a separate timeline. (So the card art variants from Snap can be thought of as different versions of a character that exist in other timelines!)

In Marvel Snap, Nexus Events are essentially a loot box. You spend in-game currency, namely Gold, and acquire a pull from a Nexus Event. Contained within each Nexus Event pull is a reward. Think of it as ‘altering’ your own personal timeline with the acquisition of new variants, avatars or even new cards!

Yes, Nexus Events are one of the ways Marvel Snap will be doling out new cards regularly to players. In Marvel Snap’s first Nexus Events, celebrating the Season Pass of Thor: Love and Thunder, there are to be two new cards released, Jane Foster and Valkyrie. In addition, two previously existing cards will also be available to unpack in those Nexus Events, Destroyer and Hela.

The cost of each pull from a Nexus Event is 180 Gold. The odds of what rarity reward you pull are:

The Rare rewards, which usually consist of variants and avatars, have a 10 pull pity timer, so after 10 pulls you are guaranteed at least one Rare. The Super Rare rewards have a 50 pull pity timer, so you are guaranteed a Super Rare every 50 pulls.

When you pull a Common reward, the odds of what that reward will be are:

Q: Will there be a pity timer on pulling cards from a Nexus Event?
A: Yes. There is a pity timer on both the Rare and Super Rare rewards. The way pity timers work is after each pull of a Nexus Event, if you don’t acquire a Rare or Super Rare reward, your odds of acquiring it in your next pull get higher.

Q: How many cards will be available from Nexus Events?

Q: What if I already have the previously released card?
A: If you already own the previously released card, then it is removed from the available rewards from a Nexus Event for you. This means it takes less opens for you to acquire the newly released card, as it is the only card in the Nexus Event reward pool for you.

Q: When I acquire a card from a Nexus Event that was previously released, how does it affect my Collection Level rewards track progress?
A: If you get a base card from a Nexus Event, that base card is removed from your potential Collection Level rewards so you can get more new cards faster.
