Old Foes Tips and Strategy

Retreat When Needed

Depending on the enemies that spawn, you may encounter waves here that specialize in Gamma or Plasma damage. Gamma deals lingering damage while Plasma will increase incoming damage. Retreat and wait for the effects wear off and strike back.

Bring In The Ranged Heavy Hitters

Many enemies here are very sturdy, so bringing in your offensive characters would be wise. Furthermore, a lot of the enemies here are susceptible to ranged attacks. Iron Man and Black Widow will be very effective in this mission.

Solving The Door Puzzle: Treasure Room

In the second area, JARVIS will alert you of a treasure hidden inside a room. Depending on the type of switch you get, there are different ways on how to activate the switches.

Here are their types and locations:

Wall Lock

These are found on the walls covered by some form of computer. Destroy the computers blocking the way and hit the locks three times with melee attacks to activate them.

Location
	As you go through the first corridor on the floor, you will see a display of Synthoids. Just near it will be the switch. It may be covered by some machines. Destroy them to see the switch.
	After you turn from the first corridor of the stage, you will see this switch straightaway at the corner before the next turn.
	The third switch is on the opposite end of the second switch.
	The last switch is just before you make the final turn to battle the Dreadbot.

Floor Switch

These are found on the outside corners of the locked treasure room. Metal bars cover them so destroy those first. Step on the switches for a second or so to activate them.

Location
	This is just past the first Synthoid display as you exit the elevator.
	This is just across the first switch inside a small alcove.
	As you face right and go forward from the second switch, there will be second alcove on the wall. The third switch will be there.
	The final switch is just before the second Synthoid display.

Old Foes Enemies

Enemy	Strategy
Elite Synthoid	They dodge and have uninterruptible laser attacks. Dodge and counter.
Proto-Synthoid	Use combos to deal in damage then dodge when they execute their attacks.
Plague Proto-Synthoid	Avoid its poison attacks and land in your combos. Don't hesitate to retreat until the poison effects wears off.
Keeper	They have slow recharge times so get closer to them and beat them with melee attacks.
Peacekeeper	Be quick with your attacks since they teleport when you strike them from close range. When they charge their shots, time your dodges as it means they will unleash a wide-arcing multiple shots.
Plague Drone	Dispose quickly by using ranged attacks.
Security Drone	Dispose quickly by using ranged attacks.
Abomination	Avoid the lightning pillars in the first arena and use heroics whenever possible. Dodge his close range attacks then counter with your own.
Dreadbot	Destroy the side turrets first and attack from behind to exploit its weakness.
Adept Synthoid	Interrupt them with quick attacks before they teleport out.

Old Foes Boss Guide

Abomination

This is one of the few missions where you get to battle Abomination again.

He uses a lot of radial attacks that tend to blow away your heroes so learn to time your dodge right. Sometimes, he would leap into the air and crash back down. Watch for this since it has a wide range and a huge knockback.

Oftentimes, Abomination will also use an ability that clouds him with Gamma radiation making approaching him dangerous as it will inflict you constant damage. When this happens, stay back and use your ranged attacks.

On certain intervals, Abomination will summon a bunch of Plague Proto-Synthoids. Just dodge whenever they approach you as they will explode into a cloud of Gamma radiation.

Easy Finish

It is possible that you could launch Abomination off the roofdeck with a powerful attack with knockback. If achieved, Abomination will automatically be defeated, scoring you an easy win. Be warned that this could happen to your heroes as well. If so, the hero won't be revived leaving your squad one member less.
