Avengers Assemble! Falcon, GET!

Hi-diddly-ho Avengereenos! (wrong game?)
The walkthrough continues on, having previously unlocked Loki and Black Widow! Awesome! In this section, we will see our new recruits developing friendships and learning to work together to defeat Hydra! Oh, and we might just add another hero to our team...


Avengers Assemble! Pt. 1
Iron Man starts

Nick Fury: Glad you finally decided to join the Academy, Black Widow. I have everyone looking for intel, but I need a good spy to find what Hydra's hiding.
Black Widow: And what if I find what you're hiding?
Nick Fury: You aren't that good. Besides, no matter what you think of me, Hydra is worse. I need you to hack their communications, and find exactly what they're planning, or a lot of people are gonna get hurt.
Black Widow: Fine. But when I'm done with them, I'm coming for you.

Iron Man Scan Hydra Database, 5m
Black Widow Hack The System, 2m

Black Widow: They're definitely planning something big. There's a lot of chatter, but the transmissions are encrypted.
Nick Fury: Take it to Stark. He can use his tech to crack the code.
Black Widow: ...
Nick Fury: I'm being serious. He's actually useful sometimes.
Reward: 35 Credits

Avengers Assemble! Pt. 2
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: How are you with cryptography?
Iron Man: That is a really weird pick-up line. It's okay though, we can still make out.
Black Widow: Just crack this Hydra code. It's important. I'm gonna find the best spot on campus to try and tap into their signal. 
Iron Man: Alright, but if I find out that this is just an elaborate way of you telling me I have chiseled cheekbones, I will be forced to agree with you one hundred percent.

Upgrade Stark Tower, 273 Credits, 10m
Iron Man Talk to J.A.R.V.I.S, 2h

Iron Man: I cracked the message, but they're speaking in code. From what I can tell, they're using an airborne vehicle to release mind-control toxin, but they don't say where.
Black Widow: New York. I was able to get that much from their signal before it switched to a different frequency. Do you know when they're launching the attack?
Iron Man: An hour ago.
Black Widow: But we can see the New York skyline from here. It doesn't make sense.
Iron Man: I just met a couple of Asgardian gods, and a girl who shrinks to shoot lasers from her fingers. I don't worry that much about sense anymore.
Reward: 89 Credits

Avengers Assemble! Pt. 3
Black Widow starts

Loki: What do you want from me, Widow-Woman?
Black Widow: What makes you think I want something?
Loki: Because you only talk to people when you want something. I admire that about you. That and your general meanness.
Black Widow: I think Hydra is cloaking something over the city. Can you use your magic to drop its disguise?
Loki: I can, and I will. I like the idea of you owing me a favor.

Loki Wield Sorcery, 1m

Loki: You were right. Hydra is hiding an aircraft right in front of our eyes. A strange one at that...
Black Widow: Why can't I see it?
Loki: Just wait. You Midgardians have no appreciation for drama...
A Hydra blimp appears in town next to the Academy...
Reward: 38 Credits 



Avengers Assemble! Pt. 4
Black Widow starts

Iron Man: I knew I should've bought a blimp. Now they ruined it for everyone.
Black Widow: It'll transform the city into mindless Hydra drones. Complete chaos. We need to stop them before it's activated.
Wasp: What do we do?
Black Widow: Start taking this serious. Get ready for the fight of your life. I'll plan our attack, but you two need to train. Especially Tony.
Iron Man: You're so mean. I love it.

Black Widow Plan The Attack, 4m
Iron Man Fire Repulsors, 15m
Wasp Have A Blast, 2m

Black Widow: You guys ready?
Wasp: I was probably born ready.
Iron Man: Me too. I'm not even gonna make a joke because my body is feeling so heroic right now.
Black Widow: Good. I think I know how we can win this, but I need to make sure Falcon is ready to fight too...
Reward: 38 Credits

Note: Sometime during this questline, a separate questline was triggered encouraging me to buy Vision. This will be included on another post dedicated to him.

Avengers Assemble! Pt. 5
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: I need you to stay here, and use your tech to shut down their defenses while we attack the zeppelin.
Iron Man: No way. Fury already thinks nobody respects me as a hero, and "use your tech to shut down their defenses" guy doesn't get the girl or the glory.
Black Widow: But he's still a hero. Even Loki agreed to use his sorcery to contain the toxin, and buy us sometime. C'mon Tony, this is about saving people. If nothing else, do it for me.
Iron Man: ...Fine. Just be ready. Hydra's not as dumb as they look, and I won't be able to knock out their defenses for long.
Black Widow: Thanks, Tony. Someday you might just get the girl. But probably not...

Iron Man Shut Down Defenses, 40m
Loki Neutralize Toxins, 1h

Black Widow: Did it work?
Iron Man: Yeah, but I'll need to keep monitoring it to counter all of their countermoves, and you'll need to hurry before they find a way to shut me out. Question is, how are you gonna get into the city?
Black Widow: That part is easy. I'm gonna fly...
(Cut scene with Hydra zeppelin turning around...)
Reward: 130 Credits

Avengers Assemble! Pt. 6
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: I need to test my new weapons in case this assault on Hydra's zeppelin goes bad. Electrostatic bolts fired from my bracelets. 
Wasp: Deadly Jewelry?! What do you call it?!
Black Widow: Widow's Bite.
Wasp: That is literally too much coolness for my brain to contain right now.

Upgrade The Blasting Range! 620 Credits, 2h
Black Widow Test Widow's Bite, 1h
Access The Quinjet! 2h, requires Access Card from Security clearance quest

Black Widow: I need a couple people who can fly to distract the zeppelin while I blow it up. Falcon's already in, but we can't do it without you.
Wasp: I was hoping you'd ask...
Black Widow: Are you about to cry?
Wasp: I just love that we're totally bonding...
Reward: 114 Credits

Avengers Assemble! Pt. 7
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: I think we can save the city, but I need your plane.
Nick Fury: Okay.
Black Widow: That's it?
Nick Fury: Just because you don't trust me, doesn't mean I don't trust you. I'm here to help you all be better heroes, and save the world from Hydra. Just be careful.
Black Widow: We will.
Nick Fury: To be clear, I'm saying be careful with my plane. I find one scratch, and Hydra will be the least of your problems.

Save The City!
(Cut scene of the Avengers blowing up the Zeppelin...)

Nick Fury: Nice work, Black Widow. Anything to report?
Black Widow: No. The team did great. Hydra scattered when I blew up the zeppelin.
Nick Fury: What about my plane?
Black Widow: It's good. Nothing happened.
Nick Fury: ...I'm checking for scratches.
Reward: 73 Credits


WORLD NEWS: AVENGERS ACADEMY SAVES THE DAY!
Once again, our top story is Avengers Academy saving New York City from Hydra's evil scheme. Tony Stark contacted World News directly to tell us that this is only the beginning, and that I have the prettiest eyes he's ever seen. Meanwhile, Madame Hydra has made it clear that failure will not be tolerated, and Avengers Academy is now Hydra's primary target...
Historian attributes time oddities to fabled "Conqueror" ... Archaeologists uncover the legendary Ebony Blade ... Parade set to commemorate The Howling Commandos


Welcome Party Pt. 1
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: Black Widow will handle whatever's going on with Fury and Hydra. I need to focus on what's important. Like throwing myself a welcome party.
Wasp: I'll plan it! PARTYYYYY!
Iron Man: Cool, we just need to spread the word and get--
Wasp: I'll get it! PARTYYYYY!

Post To Party People, 3m

Wasp: I got banners, cupcakes, balloons, party hats, plastic mustaches--
Iron Man: Did you get anything I wanted?
Wasp: I invited every girl I know!
Iron Man: I invited every girl I know!
Wasp: I know! PARTYYYYY!
Reward: 35 Credits

Welcome Party Pt. 2
Iron Man starts

Ms Marvel: I just wanted to say thanks so much for the invite! Totally worth sneaking out for...
Iron Man: Yeah, of course, Kamala. I'm glad you made it all the way from Jersey.
Ms Marvel: I also wanted to say some girl named Enchantress just hypnotized Hawkeye and Ant-Man into fighting over her, and they smashed half your furniture. It was really sort of super-awesome. Sorry.
Iron Man: Oh, don't be sorry. This party will be a failure until somebody smashes the other half. I'll order some more so people have somewhere to sit. And probably sleep.

Wasp PARTY!, 30m

Iron Man: I always knew you were a party girl.
Black Widow: I'm blending in, Stark. While you play around, I'm finding what Fury is hiding.
Iron Man: If you're blending in, you should try to smile.
Black Widow: Good point. Let me get away from you, and it'll be easier.
Wasp: I can't wait for you two to just kiss and get it over with!
Reward: 35 Credits

Welcome Party Pt. 3
Iron Man starts

Baron Zemo: Hydra celebrations are superior, but this is surprisingly satisfactory.
Iron Man: Thanks, Baron Zemo. It's not a party until someone puts on a purple ski mask.
Vision: Tony, this celebration is extremely close to falling off of the chain.
Iron Man: Yeah, I'm glad it's finally getting out of control. Wasp is keeping lookout so we don't get shut down. Have you seen Pepper?
Vision: I've seen Pepper Potts ninety-four times. Never at a party.

Wasp Keep A Lookout, 3m

Iron Man: Pepper! Where've you been?
Pepper Potts: Trying to talk Director Fury out of shutting down your party.
Iron Man: You're the best!
Pepper Potts: It didn't work. He's on his way.
Iron Man: Uh oh...
Reward: 35 Credits

Welcome Party Pt. 4
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: It was all my idea, Fury.
Wasp: What?! You didn't have ANY ideas!
Nick Fury: Party's over. You two get to train twice a hard for the time you missed messing around, and do all the work your guests should've been doing.
Iron Man: That's fine. My fault. I'll just tell everybody--
Nick Fury: PARTY'S OVER!

Iron Man Practice Repulsors, 10m
Wasp Practice Blasting, 20m

Iron Man: Did you really think I'd get here and not have fun?
Nick Fury: People like you, Stark. They think you're fun.
Iron Man: But...
Nick Fury: But everybody else is here for more than fun. They don't respect you. And they definitely don't think you can be a hero.
Iron Man: I...they...okay...
Reward: 38 Credits


Get Ready For Takeoff!
Iron Man starts

Pepper Potts: I found an expert aerialist to help us stop whatever Hydra's planning!
Iron Man: I'm an expert aerialist... 

Invite Falcon to the Academy


Nick Fury: Welcome to Avengers Academy, Falcon. I hope you're ready to jump into the action.
Falcon: Yes, sir. You really think a guy without powers can help?
Nick Fury: Once we get you settled in, and modify that jetpack, you'll be just as much of an Avenger as anybody else here.
Falcon: Any special advice?
Nick Fury: Same advice I give everyone. Do everything I say, and fight Hydra.
Recruit Falcon
- Collect 15 Jet Pack Enhancements (Various Mission Board tasks)
Falcon: You can never have too many jetpacks. Mine's starting to make a rattling sound.

- Collect 20 Avengers Textbooks (Various Mission Board tasks)
Falcon: Sweet. If I ever get bored of flying, blasting, and meeting superhumans, I'll probably study.

- Iron Man Special Modifications, 30m
Falcon: Crazy to think that a guy with wings and a jetpack is the most normal one here.
Pepper Potts: Yeah, there's a lot of weirdos...

- 651 Credits
Falcon: Where do you guys sell the Super-Soldier Serum?


Falcon: Hey, I'm Falcon. Or you can just call me Sam. I'm really--
Black Widow: You have combat experience?
Falcon: Yeah. I mean, in simulations...
Black Widow: This isn't a simulation. Hydra will try to kill you. You mess this up, and I'll do worse.
Falcon: It's nice to meet you, too...
Reward: 80 Credits


Blast Off!
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: Don't worry about Black Widow. She's just stressed out about Hydra, and mad that I keep rejecting her romantic advances. Let's talk about how I Starked-up your pack.
Falcon: Awesome! What'd you do?!
Iron Man: I reconfigured it with variable specific impulse magnetoplasma rockets.
Falcon: ...
Iron Man: I made it crazy fast. Like so fast it might literally make you crazy. Just test it out before the mission to make sure it isn't too much.
Falcon: No such thing...

Falcon Blast Off! 1m

Iron Man: Nice flying, Falcon. I never say this out loud, but I might actually be able to learn something from you.
Falcon: Thanks, Tony. What you did with this rig is incredible. I never got close to hitting speeds like that before.
Iron Man: Cool. Let's hurry up and take care of Hydra so we can focus on the important things like racing, and repeatedly buzzing by Fury's office.
Reward: 39 Credits


That's about it for the main questline and Falcon unlock, though a lot of various side quests do start to pop up now, like building Pym's Lab and learning about upgrading your characters amongst other things... As there's quite a few, these will be covered in their own post! Thanks for reading!

Unlocking Loki & Black Widow

Hi there, Future Avengers!
This is the second walkthrough and dialogue of Marvel Avengers Academy! Pepper Potts will finish guiding you through the basics of the game, and most of it is fairly quick and straightforward, but just in case you accidentally tapped too fast, here's all the cool dialogue for you to read as well! When we left off, Wasp had just been telling Iron Man that they needed another recruit...


Asgardian Grudge
Iron Man starts

Pepper Potts: Wasp found us an immortal sorcerer to help you take down Hydra! I'm afraid he might be a little evil...
Iron Man: Who isn't?

Note: Option to log into an account now available! See Tutorial post for more details.

Invite Loki to the Academy

Wasp: We need your help, Loki.
Loki: You need to right your wrongs, Bug-Woman. The embarrassing pictures you took of me at that party are still floating around your internet.
Wasp: That's what you get for starting a prank war. If we fix it, will you help us fight some Hydra guys?
Loki: If you repair my reputation, bring me something extravagant, and craft me a heartfelt apology, I most likely won't destroy you all.

Recruit Loki
- Build The Academy Banner, 20 Credits

(Pepper: Now that you've given Loki his gift, tap on Loki to let him know.)

Loki: This is your idea of a gift?
Wasp: School spirit is the gift that keeps on giving!

- Iron Man Repair Loki's Reputation, 30s

(Pepper: Now that you've deleted the photos, tap on Loki to let him know.)

Loki: Thank you for deleting those photos. Your internet is a useless forum for gossip and kitten videos.
Iron Man: I've found it pretty useful...

- Wasp Fake An Apology, 30s

(Pepper: Now that you've written the apology, tap on Loki to let him know.)

Loki: Only you could find a way to spell a sad face wrong.


Wasp: Are you happy now?
Loki: Your apology was thoughtless. And your grammar is questionable at best.
Wasp: But can we count on you when Hydra attacks the Academy?
Loki: Everyone knows you can always trust Loki...
Reward: 28 Credits


ACADEMY LEVEL 3
Reward: 4 Shards


Dance Date
Wasp starts

Wasp: Looks like the Hydra fight is about to happen, but I don't wanna just sit around waiting. I say we go on a date!
Iron Man: Um...I...uh...
Wasp: Just for fun, dummy. You're way too high-maintenance for me.

(Pepper: I'll show you how to get enough Credits to build Club A!)

Pepper Potts: I guess a club with a dance floor could help recruiting, but you'll need more Academy Credits to build it. I'll show you how to get them at our Mission Board!

(Pepper: Completing missions at the Mission Board earns you Academy Credits! White ones are missions that require different heroes, and earn awesome rewards! Blue ones are your active story quests. Here's the one you were just working on. We'll come back to it soon...)

Tap Loki's Mission

Pepper Potts: Loki, please use your sorcery to showcase what you bring to the Academy. Also, please don't turn anyone into something gross.

Magic Show
Loki Exhibit Greatness, 8s
Reward: 3 Credits

(Pepper: The checkmark means your mission is complete, and your reward is ready! And here's your special delivery! Just one more mission, and you'll have enough Credits for the Club!)

Tap Wasp's Mission

Nick Fury: Send some messages and pics to potential recruits. Let's show 'em what makes Avengers Academy great.

Get New Recruits
Wasp Promote The Academy!, 5s
Reward: 5 Credits

(Pepper: Now that you have enough Credits, let's go back and help Wasp build the Club!)

Build Club A, 98 Credits, 3s
Wasp Let's Dance, 10s, requires Iron Man

Iron Man: That was pretty impressive.
Wasp: Yeah, my powers are enhanced by the ferocity of my dancing.
Iron Man: Really?
Wasp: No, I'm just kidding. If my powers were based on partying, I'd make the Hulk look like Pepper.
Reward: 39 Credits


Avengers Assemble
Iron Man starts

Hydra Bully: Nice work, Stark. You got ready to fight Hydra by teaming up with a cheerleader and a leprechaun...
Iron Man: More like a Super Hero, and an immortal sorcerer, but who's counting?
Hydra Bully: You think we're scared of you?
Wasp: You better be.
Loki: Oh, this is going to be fun...

Cut Scene taking out the Hydra Bullies!

Black Widow: Not bad. They'll be back for revenge, but for now we can focus on exposing the Academy's secrets, and finding what Fury is hiding.
Iron Man: How do you always show up out of nowhere?
Black Widow: I'm a spy.
Iron Man: I'm single.
Black Widow: I'm wishing I had better options for teammates...
Reward: 26 Credits


Mystery Ingredients
Iron Man starts

Pepper Potts: I'm happy Black Widow is ready to officially join the Academy. She's been lurking around for a while now...
Iron Man: And I'm pretty sure she's into me...

Invite Black Widow to the Academy

Black Widow: I need your help gathering intel on the Academy, and the surrounding fog. I don't know how to clear it, but I know it holds clues to what Fury is hiding...
Iron Man: Nothing can stop the power of love.
Black Widow: Get out of here before I throat-chop you.

Recruit Black Widow
- Collect 3 Academy Secrets (various Missions on the Mission Board) 
Black Widow: It's worse than I thought. I really will have to work with you people...

- Collect 3 Avengers Textbooks (various Missions on the Mission Board)
Black Widow: Great. More Academy propaganda...

 - Have Wasp Collect Evidence, 5m
Black Widow: Thanks. I can definitely use the photos where your face isn't in the way.
Wasp: You know you love my face...

- 100 Credits
Black Widow: I can always use these to bribe someone... 


Black Widow: These pictures are amazing, Wasp. You captured every weird variation in the way the stones fit together in the quad. I know it means something...
Wasp: Thanks! It was super fun! Someone should make a word for taking pictures that aren't of yourself.
Black Widow: Like photography?
Wasp: Or "otheries".
Reward: 32 Credits


Mischief Magic
Loki starts

Odin: I'm glad you finally agreed to attend the Academy, Loki. Are you staying out of trouble?
Loki: Absolutely, Father. I'm completely focused on becoming a better sorcerer. I'm on my way to study the Asgardian spellbooks as we speak.
Odin: Thank you for taking this seriously. I'm mentoring here because I believe in the principles of Avengers Academy. I think it will be good for you.
Loki: I agree. The more I explore, the more I find to like...

Build The Timeless Archives, 75 Credits, 8s
Loki Get Settled In, 30s

Odin: What did you learn?
Loki: I learned that Thor must have held the book last because it's covered in gravy stains.
Odin: Loki...
Loki: I'm studying illusions and defenses, Father. I can create them, but I need to get better at defining and dismantling them. It may be more difficult than I anticipated, but I'll get there...
Reward: 15 Credits


Buy One, Get One
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: If we recruit Black Widow faster, we can go right back to getting new heroes and buildings to help fight Hydra!
Wasp: If I had two big teeth instead of wings, I would've called myself The Walrus!
Iron Man: ...
Wasp: What's wrong with you?! Let's hurry up and save the world! 

Buy a Box of Credits and get US$5 for free!

Iron Man: Now we can build up the Academy, recruit more heroes, and defeat Hydra even faster!
Wasp: The only thing I hate more than Hydra is waiting!
Iron Man: We are weirdly similar...
Wasp: We're weirdos!
Reward: 260 Shards

Note: This is NOT a compulsory mission. Feel free to contact TinyCo if you want it removing from your Mission Board or you can leave it there until you wish to make a purchase.
If you use this offer, you will later unlock the following offer:

Super Fast!

Buy a Stash of Credits and get 1,000 Shards for free!

Reward: 1000 Credits 


Let's Call It Timefog
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: Just so you know, I'm gonna get rid of this spooky-lightning-fog. Because that's what science guys do. Not because a pretty girl told me to.
Nick Fury: Good luck. It's a reality disturbance of unknown origin. Impossible to move or eradicate. My guys call it a "temporal entanglement".
Iron Man: Let's call it "timefog". Goes way better with a hashtag.

Iron Man Supercharge Satellite, 3m
 
Nick Fury: What's the plan?
Iron Man: I set a satellite to the right frequency to blast it with a laser from outer space.
Nick Fury: Stark satellites aren't armed...
Iron Man: I borrowed one of yours.
Reward: 15 Credits
(This also unlocks a new area of land - Classified Zone - on the bottom right of the map!)


The Big Mystery
Iron Man starts

Iron Man: The satellite will take a while to recharge, but after that, we can clear the next area.
Nick Fury: Nice work, Stark. Professor Pym supplies us with Pym Particles to shrink big obstructions. We'll shrink the debris, and send it to our labs to see if it tells us anything.
Iron Man: As long as that "we" doesn't involve me, it sounds like a great plan.

Use Pym Particles to Clear Debris

Iron Man: ...
Nick Fury: I usually want you speechless, but I don't like that look. What is it?
Iron Man: My helmet. I mean, it will be my helmet. I designed it, but I haven't even built it yet. How is that possible? And why's it smashed like that?
Nick Fury: I don't know, but we need to see what else this stuff is hiding...
Reward: 26 Credits

Okay! So that was quite a lot to cover, but yay, the tutorial is completed and we have two more awesome Super Heroes on our team - Loki and Black Widow!! Hopefully in the future, there will be individual posts for each character, so keep an eye out for that. Also stay tuned for the next installment in the main questline!
