There are epic bosses hidden in the game of Marvel Avengers Alliance. Below is a guide on how to unlock these hidden epic bosses and strategies on how to defeat them. If you have found this guide useful or helpful, please check out our other guides for Marvel Avengers Alliance. I will now also include some notes for the Special Ops Epic bosses as they become available.
How to Unlock MAA Epic Boss
To unlock the epic bosses in the specific missions, you will need to complete the following tasks:
Complete all threats – including the final bosses
Deploy the heroes as requested.
After you have completed these tasks, do not exit the map after defeating the final mission boss. The hidden Marvel Avengers Alliance epic boss should appear.

Easier Epic Boss Trick
The Epic Boss’ Difficulty is determined by the mastery points that you have achieved in game. By having a high mastery in the mission scenario, the epic boss’ attack power and strength will be significantly higher than its lower mastery counterparts. What you can do is to abort the mission scene after you defeat the final boss. This will make your life easier when you are trying to farm the epic loots dropped by the hidden MAA epic boss.
CP Farming Method
It should be noted that Marvel Avengers Alliance epic bosses are the best way to farm for command points in game. The basic idea is the critical hits against epic boss fights have higher chance of looting and dropping command points for you.
Special Ops Epic Boss Notes
Because of the time limitation and unstable ISO-8 spending nature for the special ops, it should be noted that just like regular epic bosses, you will have to complete all of the threats before you can unlock the epic bosses. However, the requirement of unstable ISO-8 makes it harder to achieve so. You should make your own judgement as whether or not you want to go for the epic bosses or try to obtain higher level of MAA mastery points possible per unstable ISO-8 spent.
Strategy Tips to Defeat and Beat Epic Bosses
Chapter 2-3 Electra:
The Epic boss Elektra will be teamed up by 2 Scrappers. Avoid using Infiltrators in your Marvel Avengers Alliance team when you are facing Elektra. A good Bruiser with good HP count will help a lot in this battle due to Elektra’s Counter attack ability. Otherwise, it’s pretty straightforward.
Chapter 3-5 Dr. Doom:
You will face 3 doombots in this MAA Epic boss battle. The strategy for them is pretty simple: focus all of your attacks on a single doombot to destroy it. This is because the doombot has a special ability to sacrifice itself and heal other doombots. Therefore, by fully destroying a single epic boss doombot, you will not let it heal others. Or the healing done by the almost dead doombot will be very limited.
Chapter 4-4 Magneto:
It is a little tricky to defeat the Epic Boss Magneto. The MAA Magneto attacks can convert target’s attacks into either positive or negative charge. Magneto will then defend himself with either Positron Shield with positive charge or Electron Shield with Negative Charge. Your attacks can only pass through the shield when it is opposite of the shield. This means that your MAA positive charge attacks can pass through Electron Shield and negative charge attacks can pass through Positron shield. However, status effects such as poison and items can prove to work well against Magneto because his shield defense can be hard to beat.
Chapter 5-3 Loki:
The epic boss Loki comes in 3 waves. The second one is the hardest such that you will have to find the real Loki. This guide will explain some of the methods that you can use to easily defeat Marvel Avengers Alliance Loki.
Chapter 6-3 Doctor Octopus:
Doc Ock is a straight forward and easy battle for an Epic Boss in Marvel Avengers Alliance. The only unusual attack that you need to watch out for is that he transfers a “hot potato” ISO virus at you. This attack boosts his companions once in a while. The Doctor Octopus virus can be sent back by attacking so it’s pretty simple to get rid of. You can deal alot of damage with the ISO virus right before its expiration.
Chapter 7-3 Green Goblin:
Green Goblin is alone and is a Scrapper. This combination makes him reasonably easy to defeat with Bruisers. Use a couple of Bruisers and you should be able to make short work of Green Goblin. The green Goblin is one of the easiest Marvel Avengers Alliance Epic Boss to kill.
Chapter 8-5 The Hood:
This difficult Marvel Avengers Alliance epic boss battle contain three waves. Each of these levels will have The Hood being the battle leader in all of the waves.
Wave 1: The Hood (Infiltrator), Hydro-man (Bruiser), Crimson Cowl (Infiltrator)
Wave 2: The Hood (Infiltrator), Madame Masque (Tactician), Constrictor (Tactician)
Wave 3: The Hood (Infiltrator), Jack O’Lantern (Blaster), Grey Gargoyle (Scrapper)
Combat strategies: Because The Hood the infiltrator is fighting in all of the three waves, you should swap out Spider-Woman for the strongest Scrapper that you have. Some good choices of scrapper to use in this epic boss battle include Iron Fist or Daredevil.
Avoid using blasters in your team setup because the second wave of Tacticians will destroy your blaster. The third wave is the hardest with nasty debuffs which need to be dealt with quickly. The bosses in this epic opponent battle are all immune to stun.
Based on these, the best team setup is Scrapper + Supportive Tactician for this epic boss battle. Instead of Tactician you can also use a strong Bruiser as tank, however you can be rendered weak against the Jack O’Lantern in the final wave.
Finally, it should be noted that this level grants you alot of experience points for losing the battle. Thus, once you have achieve the 5 star mastery with this chapter, consider using our Marvel Avengers Alliance CP farming method, except for here you can farm both the EXP and CP at the same time for losing, which is 1 stone two bird.
Chapter 9-4 M.O.D.O.K:
Because M.O.D.O.K is a blaster, it is best for you to use a Tactician team to take him out easily. Some good combos include Emmo Frost and Iron Man.

i got 2 mechanical mjolnir

i agree with that! its better use the tyrant blade!
Hi there. Nice tips of MAA. Got this cool idea recently using the epic boss in 8.5 The Hood. When i got defeated by the darn gang i reaped in 236 xp for me and my characters used. Enabled me to shoot my xp way too fast just by repeatedly losing it out on the hood. So with 60 energy or 6 fights I was able to reap in 236 x 6 = 1416 xp or with just 10 fights I was able to level up fast and so were all of my characters. It was a good tactic to boost me up from level 80 to 93 in the soonest possible time. But yesterday, the xp earned lowered to just 92. How come that this happened. Did the admins though this was a cheap trick to earn fast xp for me?
One more question? Does anyone knows why my ENCHANTED CROWBAR didnt change power level (it s 89 power lvl) whan i am lvl 120? And its sais that the power level is set by agent level when acquired. Is it some bug or i didnt understand something. TNX
“the power level is set by agent level when acquired”
In other words, if you were level 89 when you bought it, that is the power level it will remain. It is not an excelsior weapon that levels up with you.
am level 26 and i just found out about farming electra
i keep fighting and killing her and get nothing !!!!!!
i recruited at specially for that
can anyone help me, i just fight with dr octopus at 6-3 and all i’ve got is double strike item not electrostatic arm like mentioned above. how come thats possible?
i fight chapter 4.4 mission epic boss with many critical hit but it didnt give out any command point
someone please answer me
i think playdom have a repairement now, so farming technique may have chance to failed.
beside than the drop item from enemy now is less than before…
i think its the way to make gamers do all mission & do the research feature.
u mean have chance to fail is people can still farm with this technique
U can’t farm CP w/ the tech mentioned above now cuz playdom nerfed it.
i cant farm cp … just get the cp when the mission is over and is just if i have lucky , even the epic overkill dont let me cp …. im pissed off
It’s a matter of luck not strength.
that way doesn’t work now… removed by playdom…
:3 Spec Ops 2 is out! Wondering which one has the epic boss.
any1 did the missions full and checked for epic boss?
i know epic boss on special mission 2 is in mission3, epic boss: the girl that is blue.
The Hood epic boss is very easy to beat as long as you have a uni-pulse. .combine your agent with cyclops (for a sure hit that cause the uni-pulse to increase its damage), and a higher level colossus (which will serve as a tank and uses its steel curtain ability to receive or protect all the allies from all attacks that is targeted to them).
Guys, i want to ask you about the item that you can get from magneto..is it ban in PVP ? because everytime i use it an error appears..leave a reply please i really need an answer thank you..
That’s a Epic Boss on Spec ops 2 , Mission 3
Epic Boss ： Mystique
Spec ops 2 , Mission 3
Epic Boss ： Mystique
Epic Boss Drop : The Bishop
once the site crashed and now no tasks are shown ,what to do next???
and what is the Deployment List of Spec ops 2?
Deploy Scarlet Witch, Phoenix and Colossus. You must have these 3 to unlock Emma Frost:)
Or you will have to skip the last mission in Spec Ops (25th mission) with 50 golds:)
night crawler and phoenix…i have finished the tasks till defeating blob but after tht i dint got any new task and even tht is not done in the list??
i mean no tasks are being displayed and i have finished till 4th dunnow what has hpnd he time is running out guys please help..
Krishna, you mentioned the deploys for the second mission of Spec Ops, there’s no epic boss for this one. You need to deploy Scarlet Witch, Phoenix and Colossus in the third mission to unlock the Mistique Epic Boss and Emma Frost. I’m Crying here cause I don’t have those heroes nor the 50 gold… (no Emma 4 me…)
Kasluu,, ur problem was same as me.. i dont have those heroes and that gold too.. :/
cheer up.. it was 18days more to get emma..
with some little trick.. u can get about 150cp in 10-12days,,
frostmourne getting 150 cp’s how’s tht possible in 10-12 days
As for the Epic Boss 8.5 – possibly the best setup that gives you the greatest chances of beating it even when you have a 5 star mastery is combining Scarlet Witch and Iron Fist (both of them have to be on level 9 minimally).
Also, it would be good for your agent to have the Quantum Jumper to be sure that you won’t have to drag out it 15 minute combat and A LOT of Shawarma gifts so you could easily replace the stamina lost (if not Shawarma, use the Overdrive Ampule or Stamina Serum).
As for the tactic – get rid of The Hood asap – his Chaotic shots is a pain in the ass – with the combination ored thingf Scarlet Witch and your hero, and after it kill the Crimson Cowl (that should be easy). That leaves you with Hydro-Man who should be liquified ’till now. Leave him be, and from the begining of the combat use Iron Fists “Heart of Shou-Lao” ’till you stack 10!!! effects. After it, kill him and pass on. The rest should be easy unless your Scarlet Witch gives you the Power of Four in some unlucky case…Good luck! ♥
Hey man, I use hulk and iron fist from one start to now my cumulative scores up to 10million for chapter 8.5 and I have defeated thousand times of epic boss, without losing even one time.
guys let me make myself clear ..i mean to say tht there’s smthing wrong with the game spec ops isn’t workin ..this is bullshit…cnat even contact he game developer. ????
