Key Takeaways
- Galactus (Season 1 final boss) requires at least 2 hitscan DPS — Hela and Punisher are nearly mandatory for the cosmic ring weak points.
- Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet phases rotate predictably: Power → Space → Reality → Time → Mind → Soul. Each phase has a specific counter.
- Doctor Doom's Doombot summons are the real threat, not Doom himself. Kill Doombots immediately or they overwhelm your team in 60 seconds.
- PvE boss loot is weekly — farm each boss once per week. The drop rates for legendary skins are ~2%.
Galactus (Cosmic Threat — Season 1 Final Boss)
HP: 500,000 (shared across team)
Phases: 3
Recommended Team: 2 Vanguard, 2 Duelist (hitscan), 2 Strategist
Phase 1 (100%-70%): Cosmic Ring
Galactus hovers above the map, invulnerable. Six cosmic rings orbit him — these are the weak points. Shoot them with hitscan weapons (projectile heroes like Storm can't hit them reliably).
Each destroyed ring spawns 3 Herald adds (flying enemies). Designate one Duelist to clear adds while the other focuses rings.
Phase 2 (70%-40%): Grounded
Galactus lands. Now he's targetable but also attacks. Key mechanics:
- Cosmic Stomp: Every 15 seconds, Galactus stomps. Everyone within 20m takes 200 damage. Tanks can survive; others must be outside the radius.
- World Ender Beam: Targets one player, sweeps across the arena. Hide behind the cosmic debris (pillars that spawn during this phase).
Strategy: Tanks hold Galactus's attention from opposite sides (he turns slowly). DPS focus one leg at a time — destroying a leg staggers him for 5 seconds.
Phase 3 (40%-0%): Desperation
Galactus spawns ALL mechanics simultaneously: rings, stomps, beams, and adds. This is a DPS race.
Save all ultimates for Phase 3. Pop Luna ult for sustain, Groot ult to trap adds, and unload every DPS ult into Galactus's head.
Best Heroes
| Vanguard | Groot | Walls block World Ender Beam |
| Vanguard | Magneto | Bubble saves one player from beam |
| Duelist | Hela | Hitscan for rings, high DPS for legs |
| Duelist | Punisher | Turret for Phase 3 DPS race |
| Strategist | Luna Snow | Sustained healing through stomps |
| Strategist | Rocket | B.R.B. revive is essential |
Thanos (Infinity Gauntlet — Special Event Boss)
HP: 350,000
Phases: 6 (one per Infinity Stone)
Phase Order and Counters
| ------- | ---------- | --------- |
| Power | Massive AoE punches, 200 damage | Spread out, don't stack |
| Space | Teleports players to random locations | Group up immediately after teleport |
| Reality | Creates 3 Thanos illusions (only 1 real) | Real Thanos has a shadow; illusions don't |
| Time | Slows all players by 40% | Luna ult cleanses the slow |
| Mind | Mind-controls one player for 10 seconds | CC the controlled player (freeze/sleep), don't kill them |
| Soul | Steals one player's soul (instant death) | Soul Stone target is marked with orange glow 5 seconds before — that player MUST hide behind cover |
Best Heroes
| Duelist | Star-Lord | Dodge avoids Power Stone punches |
| Duelist | Spider-Man | Can dodge all mechanics, high single-target DPS |
| Strategist | Luna Snow | Ult cleanses Time Stone slow |
| Strategist | Mantis | Sleep stops Mind-controlled teammate safely |
Doctor Doom (Latveria Invasion — Recurring Event)
HP: 250,000 (Doom), 50,000 each (Doombots)
Phases: 2
Phase 1: Doombot Army
Doom is invulnerable. 6 Doombots spawn every 30 seconds. You must survive for 3 minutes while destroying Doombots.
Strategy: Kill Doombots AS SOON AS THEY SPAWN. If more than 8 Doombots are alive simultaneously, your team wipes. Dedicate 2 DPS to Doombot clearing, 2 tanks to kiting, 2 supports to staying alive.
Phase 2: Doom Direct
Doom becomes vulnerable. He uses:
- Force Field: Blocks all damage for 8 seconds. Don't waste ults during this.
- Lightning Storm: AoE circles on all players. Spread out and keep moving.
- Doombot Reinforcements: At 50% HP, 4 more Doombots spawn. Kill them first.
Boss Difficulty Ranking
| Rank | Boss | Difficulty | Best Team Comp |
| ------ | ------ | ----------- | --------------- |
| 1 | Galactus | Extreme | 2 VG, 2 hitscan DPS, 2 ST |
| 2 | Thanos | Hard | 1 VG, 3 mobile DPS, 2 ST |
| 3 | Doctor Doom | Medium | 2 VG, 2 DPS, 2 ST |
FAQ

A: No. All PvE bosses require 6-player teams. Use the in-game LFG (Looking for Group).
Q: What's the best boss for farming loot?
A: Doctor Doom (fastest clear, ~8 minutes). Galactus takes 20-30 minutes and the drop rates aren't proportionally better.
