Editorial: Guide to New Amsterdam



Contributed by: Nick Lorenzen (aka Magnificent Marvel)

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!
