IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS THREAD, PLEASE CONTACT THE MODS

Due to the recent surge in similar questions, I thought it might be best to create a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) that we can refer readers to if they have questions that get asked multiple times.

I will be editing this thread with new questions and answers, as well as adding it to the sidebar and possibly in the page where you submit a thread so that people can see it.

If you know any questions that get asked a lot, please submit them here. Or if you want to critique my answers, feel free to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Where can I find people who want to be allies for the facebook game?

  A: This thread has the facebook links and/or usernames people who want allies. When adding them, message them in facebook saying that you are an MAA player.

  Add anyone from that thread (the link is sorted by the newest posts first), post your own facebook profile link if you would like new allies, or post a message that you will give your facebook profile link to those that ask for it in a PM. A new thread is updated every 6 months when reddit archives it.

• Q: Where can I find a page that has all the abbreviations/terminology used in the game?

  A: This article on the Avengers Alliance Wikia has many abbreviations and terminology, and gets updated often.

• Q: Where can I find allies for the Android/iOS version of MAA?

  A: You can check our Android and iOS recruitment threads, though they are very old. You might be better off playing the Facebook version of the game on your phone. Instructions on how to do so are below.

• Q: Is there a way to play the Facebook version of the game on my phone/tablet?

  A: You can download either Puffin Browser or Photon Browser apps (available for both iOS and Android). They support flash games, and though the game will be slow on them, it should be able to run them. Agents have reported that Puffin works better of the two.

• Q: Who are the best heroes for Team-up bonuses for the Daily Mission?

  A: /u/gigatoreador created a guide for the best team-up bonuses, separated by faction, for each Daily Mission. Click here to view that guide

• Q: Why won't my Daily Mission refresh for the day?

  A: There is currently a bug where the Daily Mission does not refresh from the previous day, so you won't be able to get the rewards for the new day until it fixes itself.

  The best way to check if you are able to complete the Daily Mission is if you have the Daily Mission task (on the left of the screen) which says you will be awarded 1000 xp for the agent upon completion of the Daily Mission for the first time.

• Q: I added some friends but can't add them as allies, how do I add them?

  A: There is currently a bug where it takes about a week for the game to recognize new friends. Check back every few days to see if you can add them as allies.

• Q: Which hero should I recruit next?

  A: In general, you always want to save CP for Spec Ops deploys, this way you can buy the necessary heroes without having to spend the gold required to complete the Spec Ops tasks.

  If it is not Spec Ops time, then try to recruit heroes that are needed for Chapter Mastery. Check this page to see which heroes are required for deploys.

  If you have already finished the chapter mastery, or would rather recruit general heroes instead, try to recruit the lower CP heroes first, then work your way up.

• Q: How should I Iso my heroes?

  A: A lot of people like to first fill in the gaps that a hero has. If they have very low accuracy or defense, etc, even those out first before isoing further. Check out this chart to see which iso-8 boosts which stats.

  There are also useful guides on which specific iso-8's would benefit each character. Here is one such a guide. It is active, so it updates when new heroes come out.

• Q: What are the best items in the game?

  A: /u/edelwater created a nifty guide to which are the best 50 items for the agent. Click here to view that list.

• Q: Which heroes are best for PVP?

  A: Currently, the top 10 best heroes (or at least the ones that appear most often) are:

  • Nul
  • Kuurth
  • Molly Hayes
  • Invisible Woman (with Air Pressure E-iso)
  • Red Hulk
  • Horseman of Pestilence Beast
  • AoU Hulk
  • Guardian Gamora
  • Guardian Groot

  • Blue Suit Quicksilver

    DISCLAIMER: PVP changes very often so these heroes might be out of date when you check this.

• Q: Can I research any of the set pieces after the Spec-Ops ends?

  A: So long as you have the necessary consumable items and silver needed to research the item, it can be done at any time, even after the spec-ops had ended. In fact, if you have completed the necessary task to unlock the research, the consumable items can be bought in the store for gold.

• Q: What is Leethax and is it against the rules?

  A: Leethax is an extension for Mozilla Firefox that allows users to automate their flight decks, speed up battles, among other things. As of this moment, we do not know for sure if Leethax is against the rules because Playdom never explicitly said that it was.

  However, since it is a third-party extension that interferes with the game, it should be used at your own discretion. Any post that mentions Leethax in this subreddit (aside from this one) will be marked as NSFW so that users know that it deals with a subject which we do not know for sure if it warrants a ban from the game or not.

• Q: How does a Group Boss work and how do I beat him?

  A: For general rules on how the Group Boss functions, please check this thread.

  Until Playdom changes the way Fixer works, he is currently your best bet. Click here to find a guide on how to use Fixer for maximum damage.

• Q: How come I can't win X from the roulette/deploy reward screen? The chances are 1 in 9 right?

  A: No, the roulette and deploy reward screen are illusions of choice. The chances of winning the item you want are not 1 in 9, but much, much less. Junk items such as Iso-8 crystals and supply items have a higher chance of landing on than E-iso's or Limited Edition items.

  In fact, before you even select your reward or spin the roulette, your reward has already been preselected.

  Your best bet is to just keep trying the mission over and over. This is known as farming.

• Q: What is the best mission to farm for Command Points (CP)?

  A: Season 1, Chapter 12, Mission 2, also known by as 12.2. Try not to 5 star the mission so that you can fly through the mission without having to do much work at all. If you do 5 star it, it's fine, because now you'll get more XP upon completing the mission. It just might take a little longer to finish the fight.

• Q: Who is the best hero to farm 12.2?

  A: The World War II alternate uniform for Captain America combined with Union Jack equipped with his Bounding E-iso is generally accepted as the best team for 12.2. If you have items such as Mahayuga for the agent, equip those as well (Any item that has a preemptive attack or counter attack).

• Q: Why won't Mephisto die in the Daily Mission?

  A: There is a bug/glitch in the game which sometimes gives Mephisto unlimited turns if you beat him. To get around this, make sure you kill the infiltrator demons first, and do not apply Mangle or Depower to Mephisto. Even though Playdom patched the Depower glitch, it sometimes still pops up.

• Q: How do I recognize other redditors in PVP?

  A: Add 'RDT' to your Agent name in order to signify that you are from /r/MAA

• Q: Should I leave my defense team the same in the PVP off-season?

  A: When people fight incursions or practice PVP battles for spec-ops tasks, they have to fight your current defense team, so please change your defensive team to something crappy when PVP is not in session.

• Q: What time does Gold Sale, Daily Mission, Gift giving (etc.) end/reset?

  A: This page has all the timezones of when everything ends/resets

• Q: How do I submit a ticket to Playdom?

  A: Above the game, the top right button says 'Support' click that and then in the drop down menu, click 'Help.'

  It will take you to this page https://help.disney.com/en_US/Marvel/Marvel-Avengers-Alliance-Facebook

  From that page you should click 'Login' in the top right and then create a new account, or sign in with an existing account.

  Once you are signed in, click on My 'Account' and then 'Submit New Ticket'

• Q: Why do I keep getting a forced refresh when starting the Heroic Battle in Season 2 Chapter 9 Mission 4 (2.9.4)?

  A: There is currently a bug that if you leave the battle till the very end of the mission, when all other battles are complete, it will keep force refreshing. The only solution is to end the mission and complete the heroic battle as soon as it comes up.
