The first stop in your career as a super is to visit the Metropolis of New Amsterdam. As Director Nova says, it is in the grip of crime and corruption and needs your help. Sure, you are a super and
you are out to help the common man, but why not get something for yourself while you are there. This guide will help you a little against the Legion bosses and will help you know where to loot to improve yourself.
R.I.P. Stan Lee
Loot: Morphon Particles. They aren’t common, but as you are
patrolling you will see them. Maybe people leave them in tribute to
the late great Stan Lee, maybe they are attracted to this spot. It
doesn’t matter, collecting them will help you gain power faster
than anything else.
Time To Ask Some Questions
Loot: Defensive Power - Force Shield. This is a rare drop, but you
will see it while you are at this location. It’s a great power for
someone starting since it helps fill those power slots without
costing any bux upkeep. Even after you no longer need them, they can
still be sold in the market for Morphon Particles. So, no matter
what it’s a great thing to get.
It’s the Little Things
Loot: Attack Power - Super Lazer Eyes. Another rare drop, you won’t
see it all that often. Like the Force Shield it’s good early on for
upkeep and later on for selling for morphon particles. However, you
will get a nice feeling each time you visit this location because you
are saving the poor stuck kitten. Why does that kitten keep getting
stuck in the tree by the way? What is that little girl doing to it?
Why can’t it learn to get itself out? Oh well, you are still
helping out a little girl and a kitten.
Recruited by B.A.D.G.E
Loot: B.A.D.G.E Combat Boots. These are a solid basic boot and
something useful to a starter. You will rapidly get something
better, but having anything in the boot spot is better than nothing.
If you get extras or don’t need them anymore, you can sell them for
bux.
Boss Battle: Raptor
Requires 2 wins to defeat
Core: Neutral
Loot: Ring Equipment - Raptor’s ring. When you beat this boss, you
will have a 100% chance of getting this ring. The bad news is that it
doesn’t sell for morphon particles, the good news is that once you
get through a few levels it’s an easy win and you run into them
often without using badge commendations.
Boss Battle: Firebrand
2 Wins to defeat
Core: Neutral
Loot: Attack Power - Firey! There is a 100% chance of this dropping.
So, each time you defeat Firebrand you will get a new power. Another
great power since there is no cost for upkeep, and if you don’t
want it anymore just sell it on the market. You will get a Morphon
Particle for other uses.
Boss Battle: Valkyrie
3 Wins to defeat
Core: Neutral
Loot: Pants Equipment - Arthurian Greaves. When you beat Valkyrie in
a battle, there is a 50% chance of these pants dropping. They are a
decent piece of starting equipment and can be sold for crystals if
you have something you prefer.
Boss Battle: Impulse
3 Wins to defeat
Core: Mental
Loot: Movement Power - Slip Pulse. When you beat Impulse in a battle
there is a 100% chance that this will drop. Another great power since
there is no cost for upkeep, and if you don’t want it anymore just
sell it on the market. You will get a Morphon Particle for other
uses.
Final Boss Battle: The Stygian
1 Win to defeat
Core: Elemental
Loot: Helmet Equipment - Tidal Mask. When you defeat The Stygian
there is a 100% chance that the tidal mask will drop. The tidal mask
can be sold, like other equipment, but this one only sells for 500
bux. So, you are welcome to keep it around, or sell it off to clear
out your inventory.
Once you have beaten the Stygian, the Legion needs some time to
recuperate and recover from their defeat. It will likely be several
days before you can battle them again. You can still patrol New
Amsterdam to get Morphon Particles, Force Shields and Super Lazer
Eyes. You may even run into the occasional Bronze level Legion Boss,
to get even more loot. A warning though, those bronze level bosses
are hard to beat!
