Overview

An Elite Boss is a tough opponent to face. Elite Bosses have several times as many Hit Points as a standard Boss, and are more powerful in other ways as well. They can sometimes be soloed, but often require teammates to defeat.

An equal level Elite Boss will con +2 to the player's level, the same as a Boss. Their name will appear in orange to players of an equal level. Defeating one earns Experience and Influence/Infamy roughly the same as a Boss. Like a Boss, the Elite Boss will have higher levels of protection against status effects. For example, it will normally take two applications of a hold power to hold an Elite Boss (disregarding Dominators' Domination Inherent and Controllers' Overpower ability).

Depending on the player's Notoriety and the number of teammates they have, mission-specific Archvillains or Heroes may spawn as Elite Bosses instead. These reduced foes will retain the Purple Triangles of Doom, which other Elite Boss units do not.
