ISO-8 Recommendations are not comprehensive and by no means
compulsory. There are other variations due to the role they play in both
PvE and/or PvP. Other factors include the constant changing
game play and landscape due to the introduction or addition or decrease
in passive buffs or costume/class changes. You as the gamer must decide
at the end of the day what's best for your game-play on both PvE and
PvP. Opinions differs.
✔ Each character has their own battle class, strength and can be influenced by ISO III placements.
✔ Each character can be set up into 3 types
✔ Offensive Attack
✔ Defensive Passive or
✔ Versatile Neutral Balanced?
✔ PvP - Player vs Player - Demands different ISO. So choose wisely.
✔ PvE - Players vs Computer only - Appeals to casual gamers, most take Chaotic.
Overview - ISO-8
Introduced in March 2012 when the game went public, ISO-8 or
Isotope-8 is an integral part of your hero and heroine character set-up
in Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
ISO-8, Items are unlocked by researching various branches of the ISO
research tree. Fragments start from Level 30, Shards Level 60, Crystals
at Level 100. Reactive at Level 125. Reactive ISO-8s are customized to
agent level once they are slotted. Each ISO-8s are used to boost a
character's statistics. They are achieved by slotting Isotopes into a
hero's or agent's uniform within the team management screen. The number
of slots available for an Agent depends on the uniform equipped. Six
uniform categories are available, with each offering different uniforms
with different power levels (or slots) as your Heroes and Agent progress
through the game.
Most Hero and Heroine slots has 8 vaccines. Once inserted, they stay
permanent and cannot be transferred. They can be replaced by inserting
another fresh set of ISO-8, subject to game play. Previous pieces that
get over-written are gone once the change had been made.
Red ISO-8 - increases Attack and Accuracy
Blue ISO-8 - increases Health and Stamina
Yellow ISO-8 - increases Defense and Evasion
Orange ISO-8 - increases Attack, Defense, Evasion and Accuracy
Green ISO-8 - increases Health, Stamina, Defense and Evasion
Purple ISO-8 - increases Health, Stamina, Attack and Accuracy
Prismatic ISO-8 - generalises by increasing all stats marginally.
Tier V Iso-8 Research - Released on 13.03.2013.
Reactive Iso-8s are now available for research for Agents level 125
and above. These can be purchased for Silver and S.H.I.E.L.D. points.

Commonly used/featured Reactive V
Please note that his suggestions are mostly offense oriented and made
from the perspective of a Level 300 player, so it is recommended to use
this guide as a reference to tweak your heroes according to your needs.
For example, if you have a high accuracy bonus, and say your scrapper
hero already has good accuracy to begin with, instead of using Violent
Iso (Attack+Accuracy) on him, you can boost his other stats where he is
lacking, maybe Powerful Iso (Health+Attack) instead.
We will also be updating this guide to provide alternate suggestions. Stay tuned!
