Abomination is a brute force boss, similar to Hulk but with a more aggressive and less controlled fighting style. You'll face him early in the campaign and in various Villain Sectors. His fights are about managing his aggression and exploiting his slow, telegraphed attacks.
Phases & Attacks:
- Phase 1 (Ground Slam & Charge): Abomination primarily uses powerful ground slams, a charging attack, and wide-swinging punches.
- Phase 2 (Gamma Infusion): He'll become infused with gamma energy, making his attacks deal gamma damage and increasing his aggression. He may also throw gamma projectiles.
- Phase 3 (Enraged): His attacks become faster and more frequent. He might gain a temporary shield or increased resistance.
Strategy:
- Dodge & Weave: Abomination's attacks are powerful but slow. Focus on dodging behind him to create openings for melee combos.
- Target Weak Points: Look for glowing gamma canisters on his back or other vulnerable spots that appear after certain attacks.
- Environmental Hazards: use any explosive barrels or objects in the arena to deal extra damage or stun him.
- Gamma Status: If playing Hulk, applying gamma status effects can deal significant damage over time.
- Heroic Abilities: Use crowd control heroics (like Hulk's Thunderclap) to interrupt his charges or stun him.
Recommended Heroes:
- Hulk: His raw power, intrinsic rage, and gamma attacks are perfectly suited for this fight.
- Ms. Marvel: Her healing aura and 'Embiggen' ultimate can help sustain the team and deal massive damage.
Rewards:
Defeating Abomination rewards gear, XP, and often DNA Keys, which are used to open special chests. In Villain Sectors, he can drop unique gear pieces.
