Anomaly President Bosses and Anomaly Powers

Anomaly President links vice-president bosses to unique anomaly powers: the official store says defeating these bosses can let you acquire their powers. This guide lists only confirmed boss names and keeps story details behind spoiler labels. Minister of Public Relations, Bigman and Dean are confirmed; a complete ordered boss list is not available yet.

How do bosses and anomaly powers connect?

The official store describes vice-president bosses with their own unique anomaly powers and says you can acquire those powers after defeating them. That makes a boss reward more than a trophy: it can change how a later build creates damage, control or survivability. The exact power values remain version-sensitive and are not invented here.

Official gameplay overview with bosses and anomaly powers

Build advice should therefore separate the permanent fact that boss powers exist from the current tuning of an individual power. When a patch changes combat or a boss phase, the strategy entry needs a new version label even if the story identity remains the same.

Which bosses are confirmed?

BossWhere the name appearsSpoiler-safe note
Minister of Public RelationsOfficial demo description calls this the first bossThe store uses HEART as the anomaly-power example
BigmanOfficial Road to Early Access #2 post introduces the fightThe post describes a large, intense henchman encounter
DeanOfficial v.0.5.0.08 and v.0.5.0.11 hotfixes name the bossPhase-transition fixes and first-phase timing changes are documented

All-boss YouTube videos are useful for seeing the fights, but a title alone cannot confirm every name, phase or reward. A boss is added to the table only when an official post or a clearly visible frame supports the entry.

How should you approach a defensive boss or elite?

A community guide recommends baiting a defensive response and attacking during recovery instead of forcing repeated attacks into the defense. Spend the first exchange learning what closes the enemy's defense, then reserve your committed attack for the recovery window.

  1. Enter with enough space to see the full attack animation.
  2. Use a safe probe rather than your longest commitment.
  3. Observe whether the target blocks, deflects, dodges or counterattacks.
  4. Create that response deliberately on the next exchange.
  5. Move or defend through the response, then attack the recovery.
  6. If the timing came from a video older than v.0.5.0.11, retest it. Dean's first-phase timings changed officially.

How do you plan an anomaly-power build?

Start with the problem your two weapons do not solve. If the pair already controls space but lacks focused pressure, prefer a power that helps finish a durable target. If the pair commits at close range, a power that improves entry, control or recovery may be more valuable than extra damage of the same shape.

  • Define the power's job before comparing its spectacle.
  • Check whether the power supports the current weapon pair or duplicates it.
  • Separate a run-only synergy from permanent bus progression.
  • Do not quote hidden damage, odds or cooldowns unless the current build exposes and reproduces them.
  • Revisit the choice after official balance notes, especially when enemy damage or combat mechanics change.

Why is this not labeled a complete all-boss list?

Several creators have uploaded complete runs and all-boss videos, including Zhain Gaming. Some videos have no chapters or usable transcript, so this guide lists a boss name or phase only when it can be confirmed on an official page or in a clearly visible frame. The same caution applies to ending videos.

A short accurate list is more useful than a larger list with wrong names, unmarked spoilers or old pre-release encounters. If you want a full visual run, use the linked creator videos after deciding whether you are comfortable with spoilers.
