Garrickwest Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hey everyone, Not sure if there is a post or area for this but if i want to try fighting AV's is there a guide to finding them? Like what contacts - missions. Or can I go to ouroborus and select a mission there that will have a AV? Any guide? I'm wanting to test my super reflex scrapper so i guess maybe whatever AV's would be a good test for him. I'm sure there's some that just not doable correct?

Six-Six Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Dark Watcher's arc has a few. You can also drop by Recluse's Victory. After you take over 3 or 4 bunkers, Heroes/Villains will appear. Red Side, most of the 45+ contact arcs will have at least a couple of AVs in them. If you want more GM level, head over to Eden. The DE there need some love. Edited January 23, 2022 by Six-Six My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaizenSoze Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 At 50, Maria Jenkins arc in PI is full of AVs. You do not have to unlock her. Just find her in PI at 50. 1 Night Pixie on Excelsior Introduction to Arachnos Widows - Night/Blood/Fortunata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Z Bubba Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Maria Jenkins arc. Either talk to her in PI or through Ouro. Make sure you have AVs enabled in your difficulty settings. There's also a nice mission in AE, Praetorian Invasion by EvaDestruction, that is full of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might smack you into the dirt. Some you might just not have enough ST DPS to get past their mitigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgefund Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 If you're just looking to test your mettle against AVs you can make an AE mission with the ones you'd like to fight. I did this recently and started from a baseline of 0 knowledge of making AE missions, so it's not all that difficult. As mentioned, Maria Jenkins is the easy answer for contacts. Scirocco's arc has a good number as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aethereal Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If you're interested in fighting a particular AV, you should look them up in the wiki, which should say something like, "Heroes can fight So-and-so as an AV in Whoever's Arc." So for example see the top of this document for Manticore: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Manticore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomguide2005 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Pretty much all the Task Forces for Task Force Commander end squaring off against as AV. Numina's being the exception ending vs a Monster. Personally my Claws/SR went through a big chunk of Maria's arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPlyx Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 And on villians you can fight some heroes (which is an AV) in Abyss arc and Tavish Bell arc is 2 good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukase Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 hour ago, SeraphimKensai said: Recluse's Victory has AV's and Heroes for you to kill. It's worth noting that the AVs in RV are more challenging than their equivalents found in missions due to the changes to powers from pve to pvp zones. You spend 50 levels with your powers working a certain way, with certain resists and defenses, then that big ticket build that gave you soft-cap defense and capped resists - it's not like that anymore in RV. No incarnate powers either. So, a much bigger challenge. Nothing wrong with a bigger challenge, but it's more of an FYI for those that may not be aware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
