"After two years of studying the effects of Iso-8 in the lab, Hank Pym and Reed Richards have discovered how to engineer Iso-8 that can safely augment heroes' natural abilities. This Augmented Iso-8, or A-Iso, can be attached to a hero's move, giving it new properties. Each Augmented Iso-8 can only be equipped to a certain kind of move, however. One might only modify Unarmed attacks, while another might modify only Energy attacks. Certain Augmented Iso-8 can only be used by a specific hero to modify one of their signature moves."
— Introducing Season 2: Chapter 4 Developer Notes
Augmented Isotope-8 (or Augmented Iso-8, A-Iso, A-Iso-8) is used to enhance a hero's move set. Unlike the original Isotope-8, Augmented Iso-8 is similar to Empowered Isotope-8 and adds special effects when equipped, but instead of gaining a new Passive, the Augmented Iso-8 affects the moves of the Hero.
Each of a hero's four move slots has one slot for an Augmented Iso-8. At level 8, a hero can equip one Augmented Iso-8 onto one of their moves, unlocks one more each at levels 10, 12, and 14. At level 14, they can equip to all four moves. This can go into any move they have unlocked, but they cannot have more than one move equipped at a time. However, players can safely unequip Augmented Iso-8 from a move at any time, allowing them to equip a different move. This gives players a chance to experience Augmented Iso-8 early on, while still creating a powerful incentive to reach max level.
Much like the Empowered Iso-8, inserting an Augmented Iso-8 is reversible. When removed, the Iso-8 simply returns to your inventory to be used by later. Hint: You can move A-Iso from one hero to another when you click on equip and on the A-Iso screen click on the equipped tab, you can drag the one you want onto the current hero. Like E-Iso, A-Iso cannot be socketed into the Armory as they don't have PVP Bonus.
Augmented Iso-8 can be acquired from Store, Story: Season 2 Deploy Missions, Boss and Epic Boss rewards, and some Daily Mission boss rewards.
Each Augmented Iso-8 can be sold for 1,000
Silver.
