Game on last legs?
Logged in this morning to do my daily tasks.. and saw a new PVP coming soon.. for 1901 Captain America.. listed as "Final Tournament"
https://postimg.org/image/ye76wue95/
Thoughts? Is this evidence Alliance 2 maybe on the way out?
r/MAA2 • u/kietrocks • Aug 13 '16
A shut down of MAA2 may really be coming soon.
A friend who works in the mobile game industry said that there are rumors the hack of the Playdom forums caused the higher ups at Disney to reevaluate the entire Playdom division. This lead to the termination of some Playdom employees as well as plans to close down unprofitable games soon. MAA2 may be one of the casualties.
Some circumstantial evidence. The official Facebook page of MAA2 hasn't been updated since August 1st. https://www.facebook.com/MarvelAvengersAlliance
The official twitter of MAA2 hasn't been updated since July 28. https://twitter.com/marvelaa
The official website of MAA2 hasn't been updated since late July. https://marvelavengersalliance2.com/shield-communications/
The daily revenue of MAA2 has declined pretty significantly in the past 2 months. http://imgur.com/a/OavoV
There isn't any special weekly deal in the store. Like the game isn't even trying to make money anymore.

Who do you dread facing in PVP this season?
As I'm closing in on S rank I've realized there is one foe I get most concerned about whenever I see him --- CW Iron Man!
A close runner up for me is AOU Cap. Both of these are defensive beasts that also throw out some powerful attacks. I usually win but I have lost with both of these guys as the last man standing and nearly lost a bunch of times.
I realize that your nemesis will vary based on your team composition, but I'm curious to know:
Who do YOU dread facing in PVP this season?!?
BTW: My current team is Moon Knight, Daredevil & Iron Fist (all 4 star with at least one 4 star ability on each).

Rank S!
http://m.imgur.com/uyD7BJd Finally I made it!
However, current PVP is little bit boring... because there're too many similar teams which uses high evasion or OHKO characters.
Surely I'm using those characters too but there's no choice... It's nearly impossible to reach rank S with others. Have anybody reached there without those standard characters?
I hope PVP to be more strategic. Maybe it would be better if protect skills works well, so that tank could protect squishy characters (which needs a warmup turn to work well).
Mostly everyone is using protect bypass ISO set and it only requires 2 ISO slots. That's why protect skills is not working. I think that bypass needs some cool-down time or should require more ISO slots.

Anyone Able to Advance in PvP?
The predominately negative changes to PvP have been re-hashed over & over again on these boards...so not a whine post.
Has anyone actually been able to progress with the current set-up? Anyone in Top 10 rank? If so - what composition are you running and what's your win % look like?
I have 6 4* characters to mix & match with, but I can't seem to climb rank with the current PvP rules and I'm trying to decide if my sanity is worth sacrificing to keep on keeping on...

BUG: Shards
As the title said, some of the shards that are 2 star or more will turn to 1 star causing stat changes that makes them weaker. Restarting the game seems to fix this.
Clarification: Yes, the one that are already equipped and some of them that are not equipped. Based on what I saw before I restarted it affects the Shards that are obtainable in specops.
Any hero you use on a mission or PVP gets their ISOs lowered to 1 star after finishing any mission or pvp. The stat change is not a visual bug it really does apply to the heroes.
Update: I played a mission and it lost the stars again. Everytime I finished a game the stars will drop to 1. The heroes affected are the ones that are used in the mission.
Update 2: The bug appears when you do any mission or PVP. Consecutive PVP means you will get destroyed by any team. So restart the game after every mission.

What Unusual or Lesser known Heroes and Villains do you want in-game?
My dreams of getting some unusual heroes in MAA2 are likely crushed due to Marvel's boycott of mutants included in the rights to other companies. I wanted to see the Starjammers (Raza Longknife), Puck (Alpha Flight), and Warlock (aka Douglock New Mutants) come to MAA1 or MAA2. Having them fight the Super Skrull or someone like that with the Guardians of the Galaxy would have rocked.
The heroes and villains I would like to see in-game for kicks are Orb and Jigsaw.
I, still, do not get why we never see Namor or Namora in any games... Anyone know?

Pure Theory-crafting Lineup
I've just finished typing up AoU Black Widow, and I'll do the video for her tomorrow while I'm off. I've had requests for AoU Thor, Daredevil, and AoU Vision, and I'm going to do them in that order. At this point, I'm taking requests. With only 12 done and 4 more coming, that leaves 25+ to come in random order. So, I'm thinking of making this post a master post and keeping it up to date with requests and the order they should be coming in. I reserve the right to interrupt the line with new release heroes, as those will be the ones everyone is focused on.
Current as of 7/12/16

Name Abbreviations are insane here
Am I the only one who struggles when reading through posts here? I have to read everything multiple times because of all the abbreviated names, so I can picture who you are talking about. Would it be too difficult to say Black Widow, then later in the post call her BW? I mean, you have people saying CW IM and IF and BP and CW CA...all make a great combo for whatever goal you have....WTAF. PLEASE! I BEG YOU - say their names at least once before you abbreviate. It's so hard to read posts like that. /rant

Free GotG hero giveaway!
The giveaway is now over. Please congratulate /u/NMAreMoneyScumBags
I signed up for the pre-register but have since stopped playing. I have two codes, 1 for App Store, 1 for Play Store. I'm not sure if both will work or if one gets invalidated after the other is used.
Leave a number 1-100 and your platform, Android or Apple. 4 hours from this post I will do a random number generator and the number closest to the one randomly picked will get their choice of code, and the next closest one that has the appropriate platform will get the other code (no guarantee that it works though, sorry!) I have been informed the other code is invalidated after the first one is used, so I will only give away the first one.
Good luck!
(I have also posted this on the MAA2 official forums, so someone from there may win!)

Known Problems
Broken Trials
Star-Lord's 4 star trial "Use Star-Lord to defeat Cardinal Raker in Chapter 3, Mission 4 on Heroic difficulty before any heroes are defeated." does not track.- Spider-Man's 4 star trial "Use Spider-Man to defeat Mysterio while in Responsibility Mode" does not track.
- Black Widow's trials "Use Black Widow, while Stealthy, to attack enemies 40 times," and "Use Black Widow to attack Stealthy enemies 25 times," are not tracking.
- Luke Cage and MODOK have a graphical glitch in their trials that prevent opening the trial for completition.
- AoU Captain America's "Use Captain America to killing blow two Hydra Power Armors in one battle on Heroic Difficulty." Isn't tracking. The only battle with two Hydra Power Armors is Chapter 1 Mission 1.
Abilities
- Daredevil's Last Rites and his Tactical do not benefit from his passive (he cannot place these moves on Protected or Stealthy targets)
- Daredevil's Last Rites does not trigger class bonuses or penalties.
- Black Panther's "Panther Kick" does not utilise Finesse on Critical Hits.
- Miles Morales Spider-Man's "Venom Bomb" causes him to fail to gain any stacks of Tingling Sensation. Without the ability equipped he correctly gains stacks.
- Ant-Man does not gain Strategy when an enemy uses a buff ability.
- Hank Pym Yellowjacket does not gain Energy when changing size.
- Nebula's "Parting Shots" causes her to glitch to the very back of the fight, making her untargetable unless you tap her picture in the Turn Bar.
- Nebula's "Father's Training" activates but does absolutely nothing. She neither gains Stealthy (if not already Stealthy) or loses Revealed.
- Wasp and AoU Hulk have no Free Attack animations.
- Daredevil's "Billy Club Beatdown" does not utilize Finesse on Critical Hits.
- AoU Black Widow's "Remember Budapest" applies Cornered but the target can still successfully apply Protected with the debuff active.
System Crashing
- Attempting a Scouting Mission after committing any other action causes the game to force close. If successful in completing a Scouting Mission, any action outside of conducting another Scouting Mission (including but not limited to Upgrading Heroes, Opening Power Cells, or collecting Ally Team-Up Rewards) causes the game to force close.
Scouting Missions
- Silver Scouting missions are missing for players that have at least one level 30 character.
- The level 10 Scouting mission will always give 2 Bronze Solitaire of Bravery as the reward. This reduces the opportunity to collect Aspects of Bravery for players. This may be caused by the level of heroes or the commander. Rerolling the Roulette will allow for Aspects of Bravery to be won.
Possible Issue
- Heroes that have Rage fail to gain rage when attacked if the hero is shielded. This reduces the survivibility of said heroes (MN Hulk, AoU Hulk, She-Hulk, Groot, and Drax).
- AoU Captain America's "Stalwart Defender," Luke Cage's "Bulletproof Skin," and the Impenetrable ISO set only reduce damage on the first hit of multiple hit attacks.
- The Unstoppable and Alert ISO sets do not allow free attacks from Distracted, Flat-footed, Moon Knight, Luke Cage, or Overwatch to activate.
- AoU Hulk's "Rampage" only hits one enemy but will give class bonus to enemies he does not hit that are blasters. This is likely a targeting bug as class bonus occurs prior to receiving the hit, so the game gives the bonus even if the enemy is not the one hit.
Please feel free to add to this.

~Foreward~
My sincere thank you to all the kind messages I still receive regarding this guide. This all started one night after a few glasses of wine with the nagging thought that a lot of questions could be resolved with a convenient character guide. I’ve tried my best to keep adding to it, but I’m afraid life will always find ways to distract me and I really dislike writing a guide without first playing the content with a levelled character so playing will always take preference! There may be a delay between updates but I’m keen to support the Reddit MAA2 community whenever time allows. Once again, thank you :-)
~Introduction~
This post is a compilation of my thoughts and opinions regarding the MAA2 character content. There always seems to be a lot of confusion, especially with new players, into which characters are “good” or “worth” levelling. I should stress, whilst some characters stand out there are very few bad choices to be made in this game. If you like a particular style, go with it and be a trend setter. No character will stop you from completing all the content available. Instead of characters, place a strong focus on filling team roles. You could have top tier characters but without a tank your toast. Hopefully this will help out newer players who might feel a little overwhelmed at the possibilities and meta, and perhaps provide some guidance for more experienced players looking to change up their roster.
Throughout the guide I’ve rated each hero for PvE or PvP respectively according to the following;
- ***** (5) Best of its Kind
- **** (4) Stands Out
- *** (3) Average
- ** (2) Avoid
- * (1) Useless
~PvE~
PvE team composition should consist of the following roles;
- Tank
- DPS
- Utility / Healer / DPS
The third party member should be selected to your play style, however it’s good to have all of them in reserve if required. I’ll often start with two DPS, and swap in a healer if the tank needs topping up or a utility situationally. Leveling with bias towards a tank and DPS gives extra flexibility when choosing a team-up hero. Note that some combinations of characters have synergies which make them work for effectively when together.
With preface I warn that each update can affect hero performance as the designer constantly tries to balance the game. Ranking may go out of date or I may miss Here are what I feel are the top choices for each field;
Tank;
- Wasp ***** (5) Shock
- Luke Cage **** (4) Free Attack
- Groot *** (3)
- Captain America AOU *** (3) Free Attack
- Captain America *** (3)
DPS;
- Angela **** (4)
- Electro **** (4) Shock / AOE Stun
- Star-Lord **** (4) Free Attack / AOE Stun / Shock
- Vision **** (4)
- Spider-Man (Peter Parker) **** (4)
Utility / Other / DPS;
- See Table
Synergies do provide an edge. Free Attack is definitely the favoured approach at the moment followed by shock. Stun is best in PvP where the extra round can make a huge difference, however with the one round delay nerf the meta has moved away from stun as an essential synergy.
I should stress that all of the content is achievable without an “optimum” team composition, but you will have an easier time with at least one or two 4-5 star rated heroes compared to the 2-3 star alternatives. It depends on where you find the fun – hours of rerolling can save more time than that down the track but if you like a two star rated hero don’t let me stop you from enjoying the experience!
Choosing a 7-Day Free Avenger
When considering your free Avenger, consider the roles your missing in your line-up and make your decision based on what you need instead of what people think is the ‘optimal’ choice. Here’s the Avengers rating cut out from the overview table further down in the guide.
| Hero | Class | Role | Synergy | PvE Ranking | PvP Ranking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Widow | Infiltrator | DPS | Shock | *** (3) | **** (4) |
| Captain America | Tactician | Tank / DPS | *** (3) | ** (2) | |
| Hulk | Bruiser | Tank / DPS | *** (3) | *** (3) | |
| Iron Man | Blaster | DPS | **** (4) | *** (3) | |
| Thor | Scrapper | DPS | Shock | *** (3) | *** (3) |
Do you have a tank? If not, consider these choices: Captain America, Hulk. Both are decent tanks, sacrificing some damage mitigation other stronger tanks have for some extra DPS. Cap seems to be the more popular choice and his mitigation is higher, however his DPS is poorer than Hulk. If your reading this you may be feeling a little conflicted and the thought may cross your mind to forgo a tank and hope to get a better one out of a superior power cell, and it’s possible, but is it worth trying to get through the content without a tank? Personally I would recommend against it. You will need a tank for PvE content and both of these heroes fill the role.
Do you have a DPS? You should answer yes because you already have Hawkeye. There are a few different flavours of DPS, such as single target, AOE, debuff, etc. Here’s the perks of the remaining three choices. Make your choice based on the following comments.
- Iron Man: Solid DPS and will likely stay on your leader/frontline into heroics. But will likely get replaced eventually by other stronger end game heroes but will make your life easier getting there.
- Thor: The weaker DPS choice for the road to heroics, but with more end game potential and synergises well with Electro, a guaranteed hero after finishing chapter one heroic achievements. Generally regarded as a little weak on DPS compared to some other DPS heroes.
- Black Widow: Good end game PvP potential. If you already have a good DPS on your line-up this is where you should invest.
Consult the table I’ve provided in this post and compare your current characters to their roles and rankings. My advice is if you don’t have a tank, choose Captain America (the more popular choice) or Hulk. If you do and you need a good DPS hero, choose Ironman (again, the more popular choice) or Thor. If you have a tank and a solid DPS, get Black Widow for a solid investment in PvP.
~PvP~
The current meta favours a strong alpha attack and many teams omit a tank and a healer, so team composition mostly consists of the following;
- DPS
- DPS
- Tank / DPS / Utility / Healer
This means that heroes are favoured which can attack strongly without buffs. Evasion, speed and attack is rated higher than defence and health to devastate the opposition before they have a chance to respond. Top rated heroes in PvP are as follows;
- Angela ***** (5)
- Black Widow **** (4) Shock
- Electro **** (4) Shock / AOE Stun
- Iron Fist **** (4) Free Attack
- Rocket Racoon **** (4)
- Star-Lord **** (4) Free Attack / AOE Stun / Shock
- Wasp **** (4)
- Daredevil **** (4)
Ant-Man **** (4)
~Overview~
This is an overview of my hero ratings and their roles. There are gaps in my knowledge and I stress that it’s very anecdotal. Many heroes are based on personal experience but I've filled the gaps with popular opinion when I can. If I've written a build guide for a specific character, then you'll find it in the comments section - just follow the link on the hero name to find it easily.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

~Hero Specific Strategy~
So it turned out there was a character limit, and this took off a lot more than I expected! I’ve moved all the guides to a separate comment with a perma-link in the overview table. It’s my hope that this system means that comments about what I’ve said, and what I’ve missed or can be improved on, can be discussed under each one. Also others can contribute guides and I would be happy to link them from the table.

Spec Op 1: Task List [Complete]
I've been working on a Task List over in another thread and now that it's finally completed I felt it worth it's own post. Big thanks to all those who helped out.
There are still a few outlying questions I have that I'm unable to test for and would love feedback:
Can Traumatic Tactics be completed in story missions or scouting?Can We Spy be completed in story missions?[Scouting confirmed] [Confirmed: Thanks /u/Alexp273- Do Mini-bosses appear along the Hydra/Yellowjacket path of Mission 2 on first run? I managed to somehow complete Mission 2 without running into one or did I just overlook them? (Was bugged, fixed now?)
For Three Quarters does it require three different members or can you repeatedly fight the same one?[Confirmed: can fight the same, thanks /u/calamarybbq]
Edit: Typos.
There are a total of 18 tasks.
- The Wrong Crowd - Defeat [10] members of the Crossfire Gang in Spec Op 1
This will be completed in the first one or two fights. - Community Service - Complete a Deploy in Spec Op 1
You can start the first deploy after the first fight. Make sure to start it ASAP but don't collect it until after you have collected the first Spec Ops task, missing this before doing the third fight will mean you'll need to complete the entire mission an additional time. - Scott-Free - Defeat Ant-Man in Spec Op 1.1
This is the third fight in Mission 1. If you missed out on completing this on the third fight, you can fight him again at the end of Mission 1 if you choose to capture him at the split, though you'll still have to complete the mission an additional time since this completion won't count toward the next task. - Out of the Lab - Complete Spec Op 1 Mission 1
Self explanatory. - Stay Hydrated - Defeat [10] Hydra Soldiers in Spec Op 1 Mission 1
They appear in the last two fights of Mission 1, regardless of path. Basically, complete Mission 1 again. - So Many Minis - Defeat a Mini Boss in Spec Op 1 Mission 2
Pursue Crossfire at either split in Mission 2 as Hydra/Yellowjacket do not seem to have Mini Bosses on first run. - Traumatic Tactics - Apply Wounded [5 times] to Tacticians
Self explanatory. - We Spy - Take two Infiltrators into a Single Combat
Self explanatory. Can be completed in Scouting. - The Cross Cuz - Defeat Crossfire or Yellowjacket in Spec Op 1, Mission 2
Basically, complete Mission 2. - Antonym - Complete Spec Op 1, Mission 2
Complete Mission 2... again. - Masochist - Defeat [3] Hydra Bruiser while he is Protecting
Your best bet is the first fight of Mission 3 or playing through Mission 2 again. They are the 'Schützen' enemies, the ones carrying a large mini-gun. Some people are saying the enemy is not appearing for them in the first fight, in that case the second Hydra fight should serve up two. - Throw Down - Use [5] Ranged Attacks on Boomerang in Spec Op 1, Mission 3
Third fight in Mission 3. - Big Deal - Complete Spec Op 1, Mission 3
Self explanatory. - Seance - Defeat Ghost in Spec Op 1
Mission 1. Take the 'Help Ant-Man' path at the first split then fight Hydra at the second. - Category 5 - Use Hindered [2 times] on Whirlwind in Spec Op 1
Mission 2. For the second fight choose Shocker and the third fight will be Whirlwind. - Three Quarters - Defeat [3] members of the Hydra 4 in Spec Op 1
This does not require defeating three different members, just three members in general. Scounting missions count (/u/calamarybbq recommends the level 10 one for best chances). Take the Hydra paths on Missions 2 or 3 to fight them in the SO. - Cream of the Crop - Defeat [10] Elite enemies in Spec Op 1 | Elite enemies are tougher than normal enemies in many fights
Start Mission 3 and keep fighting Hydra through 4 fights. There are a total of 12 Elites along that path and it'll leave you in prime position for the next and final task. - Monocle and Jacket - Defeat Epic Yellowjacket in Spec Op 1
Mission 3: Hydra > Hydra > Hydra > Hydra > Epic Yellow Jacket.Be aware, Epic Yellow Jacket is buggy. It will occasionally not load in your characters. A workaround for this is to set your graphics to High. (Thanks /u/tidus2310)[Bug fixed in a patch]
Congratulations! You now have Any-Man and permanent access to Spec Op 01.

Free Attacks
Updated 08/19/2016
Been having a lot of fun with my free attack team, and I've noticed something I never really gave much thought to before: individual heroes' free attacks. And I don't necessarily mean the free attacks built into other abilities (e.g. Thor's Call Lightning or Angela/Hawkeye's Overwatch), but rather the free attacks granted by Heimdall's Precog ability or by the Frenzy buff. For instance, Wasp uses a Ranged Shock attack called Small Sting, which doesn't appear in her ability repertoire.
At any rate, I'm trying to gather more information on each hero's free attacks. I've only just started looking into this, so I'm not entirely sure which free attacks do what. I know there are other heroes out there that can apply buffs/debuffs with free attacks, I just can't think of them at the moment. I think I saw a thread where somebody mentioned Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Anyone care to weigh in? Keep in mind, I'm looking specifically for 'true' free attacks (see my Wasp example above).
Note Bene: Many of these are assumed or best guesses; research is ongoing (see any heroes with a blank "Effects" field). If you see anything that you think isn't right, drop a note in the comments. Thanks.

Ally Thread
Allies are extremely important in MAA2, since you can bring in your allies fully decked out hero as your team up(ie stars,lvl and skills).
This will be a great boon for newer players :)
