Epic Bosses are Villains that will only appear once all threats and Deploys in a Mission have been completed. Some of the Deploys require a hero of a specific Class or a specific Hero to be completed.

If any of the Deploys have not been completed when the last battle is done, the Epic Boss will not appear. To prevent this, players should do the Deploy Mission as soon as it appears.

Heroic Battles and Incursions do not have to be completed for the Epic Boss to appear.


Story: Season 1 Mission Epic Bosses

Chapter 2 Mission 3 - Elektra

Elektra
Location: Chapter 2, Mission 3
Deploy Requirements: Scrapper and Black Cat
Team-Up: Daredevil
Epic Drop: Grecian Sai or Custom Grecian Sai.
Waves: 1
Strategy: Elektra is supported by 2 Scrappers and will counter-attack all attacks with Internal Bleeding effect. But don't let this stop you from bringing your best scrapper or bruiser.
Total Energy Cost: 90 Energy if both the Boss and the Mini Boss are defeated together.


Chapter 3 Mission 5 - Dr. Doom

Dr. Doom Defeated
Location: Chapter 3, Mission 5
Deploy Requirements: Blaster, Tactician, Black Widow and Spider-Man
Team-Up: Hawkeye
Epic Drop: The Doombringer.
Waves: 1
  • Wave 1: Dr. Doom, Dr. Doom and Dr. Doom
Strategy: Instead of Dr. Doom himself, players will be facing three Doombots. All Doombots are Blasters and can share health by draining the health of another Doombot to heal itself. It is best advised to focus on one Doombot before moving on to the next Doombot. Repeat until all the Doombots are defeated.
Total Energy Cost: 80 Energy if both the Boss and the Mini Boss are defeated together.




Chapter 4 Mission 4 - Magneto

Magneto
Location: Chapter 4, Mission 4
Deploy Requirements: Scrapper and Storm
Team-Up: Invisible Woman
Epic Drop: Magnetic Field Generator or Custom Magnetic Field Generator - this Epic Item is touted as being one of the best items in the game so it's very much worth farming this mission to get this item (the xp is decent too).
Waves: 1
  • Wave 1: Magneto
Strategy: Magneto's attacks leaves the target with a positive or negative charge. Magneto also uses a Positron Shield (positive charge) or an Electron Shield (negative charge). Attacks with the same charge will bounce off, while attacks with the opposite charge of the shield will pass right through. It is best to use a hero or items that penetrate shield such as War Machine's Blade Punch or Black Panther's Anti-Metal Claws as then players won't have to worry about the charge. Or use a hero with Shield Breaker ability. After Shield Breaker applied Magneto tries to replenish shield but fails. After then all you have to do is hit him hard as you can.
Total Energy Cost: 70 Energy if both the Boss and the Mini Boss are defeated together.




Chapter 5 Mission 3 - Loki

Loki Defeated
Location: Chapter 5, Mission 3
Deploy Requirements: Scrapper, Blaster and Wolverine
Team-Up: Thing
Epic Drop: Norn Stone or Custom Norn Stone.
Waves: 3
  • Wave 1: Loki
  • Wave 2: Loki, Loki and Loki
  • Wave 3: Loki
Strategy:
  • Wave 1: Loki has a debuff that will heal him instead of damage him when you attack him while those effects are active.
  • Wave 2: Loki has two decoys; the real Loki has a green symbol instead of a red one. Attack that Loki over and over (even with attacks that don't deal damage such as a Laser Spotter) and you will trigger Harmful Discovery, which will deal damage to all three Loki. If you attack the wrong Loki, you will heal him instead of damaging him.
  • Wave 3: Loki, same as Wave 1.
Total Energy Cost: 100 Energy if you defeat the Boss + Mini Boss together.




Chapter 6 Mission 3 - Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus Defeated
Location: Chapter 6, Mission 3
Deploy Requirements: Scrapper, Bruiser and Luke Cage
Team-Up: Spider-Woman
Epic Drop: Electrostatic Arm or Custom Electrostatic Arm.
Waves: 1
  • Wave 1: Doctor Octopus
Strategy: Doctor Octopus is pretty easy for an Epic Boss. The only unusual thing is that he transfers a "hot potato" ISO virus at you once in a while and boosts his companions. The virus can be sent back by attacking so it's pretty simple to get rid of. Just make sure that you transfer it right before it expires as it inflicts a lot of damage and gives a lot of status effects.
Total Energy Cost: 100 Energy if you defeat the Boss + Mini Boss together.




Chapter 7 Mission 3 - Green Goblin

Green Goblin Defeated
Location: Chapter 7, Mission 3
Deploy Requirements: Scrapper, Tactician and Spider-Man
Team-Up: Black Cat
Epic Drop: Goblin Glider or Custom Goblin Glider
Waves: 1
  • Wave 1: Green Goblin
Strategy: Green Goblin is on his own and is a Scrapper. A solid Bruiser team should do the trick.
Total Energy Cost: 100 Energy if you defeat the Boss + Mini Boss together.




Chapter 8 Mission 5 - The Hood

The Hood Defeated
Location: Chapter 8, Mission 5
Deploy Requirements: Tactician, Blaster, and Hawkeye
Team-Up: Spider-Woman
Epic Drop: Possessed Pistol or Custom Possessed Pistol
Waves: 3
Strategy: There will be three waves with The Hood as a recurring leader. Most of these opponents are immune to stun;
  • Wave 1: The Hood (Infiltrator), supported by Hydro-Man (Bruiser) and the Crimson Cowl (Infiltrator)
  • Wave 2: The Hood (Infiltrator), supported by Madame Masque and Constrictor, whom are both Tacticians
  • Wave 3: The Hood (Infiltrator), supported by Jack O'Lantern (Blaster) and the Grey Gargoyle (Scrapper). They have very nasty debuffs especially Jack O'Lantern.
Focus on targeting each boss individually and taking them out quickly and you should be able to prevail. Bring one scrapper and damage the Hood a bit, he will vanish if his health is reduced, returning again on the next wave (even if you manage to kill him on one wave, he will still come back on the next one).
Total Energy Cost: 90 Energy if you defeat the Boss + Mini Boss together.

Dormammu Defeated
Location: Chapter 10, Mission 4
Deploy Requirements: Spider-Woman, Blaster, and Scrapper

Epic Drop: Touch of Flame and Shadow or Custom Touch of Flame and Shadow
Waves: 3
Strategy: Dormammu is a Generalist with the Passive Ability Relentless, so trying to stun is useless. Just take your most powerful weapons for your Agent and your most powerful hero to fight him.
You may bring heroes that use psychic attacks because there are no Mindless Ones present in this battle. To defeat Dormammu, use classes that counter each other because Dormammu can change class.
Total Energy Cost: 100 Energy if you defeat the Boss + Mini Boss together.




Chapter 11 Mission 3 - Baron Zemo

Location: Chapter 11, Mission 3
Deploy Requirements: PhoenixBruiserInfiltratror and any Hero

Story: Season 2 Mission Epic Bosses

Chapter 1 Mission 4 - Doctor Octopus

Doctor Octopus Defeated
Location: Chapter 1, Mission 4
Deploy Requirements: Black Knight, Psylocke & Union Jack
Team-Up: Captain Britain (Optional)
Epic Drop: Barber's Razor or Stropped Razor
Waves: 1
  • Wave 1: SC-Beta, Doctor Octopus & SC-Beta
Strategy: At one point of the battle (usually in his first turn), Doctor Octopus will use a highly damaging move called "Hero Dissecation". Use some powerful healing item after that move (I recommend Shawarma or Gold Nugget) and then, attack. The SC-Beta shouldn't be such a problem. But still, bring your most powerful Bruiser, an Infiltrator and a Generalist for an easier win. Bringing a Blaster is not recommended, as Doctor Octopus is a Tactitian. 
Total Energy Cost:




Chapter 1 Mission 6 (Premium) - M.O.D.O.K.

M.O.D.O.K. Defeated
Location: Chapter 1, Mission 6
Deploy Requirements: Scarlet Witch, Spider-Woman & Rogue
Team-Up: Gambit (Optional)
Epic Drop: Bel Nemeton or Glas Tann
Waves: 3
Strategy: The first two waves aren't really hard and passing them should not be a problem. On the last wave, a Tactitian could really come in handy, because M.O.D.O.K. is a Blaster. His Psycho-8 (move that applies Mental Anguish) is the most annoying one. Just watch out for his attacks and you'll be fine.

In Wave 2, you will face same enemies expect Hydra Judicator is changed to Hydra Rampart, who is Bruiser and protecting too. Vision is a team-up, so using him is a good tactic.
