Mega Virus

The **Mega Virus** is a monstrous boss enemy in Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, first introduced to the game in the version 2.7.10 update. It appears as the boss of the Codebase Trial, where it can be battled in order to earn Megabits, and also replaces the Inventor as the main antagonist of the Campaign's story once you reach Chapter 39.

## History

In the Campaign's story, the Mega Virus makes its debut in Chapter 38, where the heroes try to remove the Mega Virus from the Inventor's body after discovering that he had been holding it inside himself the whole time. Using Yax's upgraded virus-scrubbing device, the heroes attempted to purge the Mega Virus from the Inventor's body and delete it, but unfortunately the device wasn't strong enough to contain the Mega Virus so it escaped after being forced out of the Inventor's body, allowing it to rampage freely around the City. As the heroes entered the Hub looking for a new way to stop the Mega Virus, the Inventor explained that the Mega Virus was originally one of the many experiments he was working on while developing DLC for the City; however, said experiment somehow became self-aware and decided to rebel against the Inventor, causing it to mutate into the Mega Virus.

## In-Game

Unlike most enemies in the game, the Mega Virus can't be killed; your goal during the battle is to simply try to survive as long as you can by pitting your best Heroes against the Mega Virus. Initially, it only uses hard-hitting basic attacks that can either target one Hero or hit multiple Heroes at a time, but as the battle progresses the Mega Virus will start using more skills. As it takes damage, the Mega Virus builds up rage, causing its rage meter to climb up through new Rage Levels. Typically, reaching a new Rage Level causes the Mega Virus to drop a small amount of Megabits and gain a minor boost to one of its stats (and you are also given more time to fight), but every 5th Rage Level is a Major Rage Level; upon reaching a Major Rage Level, the Mega Virus drops a much larger amount of Megabits but also activates a new skill. Its skills, and the levels they're unlocked at, are as follows:

* Rage Level 5 - Flash Drive: The Mega Virus launches a projectile at the closest Hero on your team, dealing damage and reducing that Hero's Armor by 75% for 10 seconds. The Mega Virus's Tenacity will also be increased by 50 upon reaching this Rage Level.
* Rage Level 10 - DDoS Attack: The Mega Virus targets the frontmost Hero on your team with a barrage of tendril attacks that knocks the Hero back, deals damage, and Stuns the Hero foe 5 seconds.
* Rage Level 15 - Viral Strike: The Mega Virus's basic attacks are now faster and also remove a random buff from the Hero they hit.
* Rage Level 20 - System Failure: Every 4 seconds, the Mega Virus will apply a random debuff or disable to a random Hero on your team. Possible debuffs/disables include: Stun, Freeze, Blind, Silence, Charm, Sap, Curse, Weakness, Scare, Study, or Attack Speed Decrease. The Mega Virus also becomes immune to all disables.
* Rage Level 25 - Firewall: The Mega Virus becomes immune to all debuffs.
* Rage Level 30 - Mega Charge: The Mega Virus deals 50% more damage with its basic attacks, can launch DDoS Attacks every 1.5 seconds, and can perform Viral Strikes every 3 seconds.

The Mega Virus's rage meter maxes out at Rage Level 30, which is the last Major Rage Level; once it's reached, the Mega Virus's rage won't increase anymore.

Despite its sheer power, the Mega Virus always has a weakness to one particular debuff or disable, which can be seen before starting a battle with it. Whenever it's hit with its weakness, the Mega Virus's rage multiplier increases; this causes the Mega Virus's rage to climb faster, allowing you to earn points and reach higher Rage Levels more quickly.
