Family Boss Fight: Jimmy Lechon

Silverio Fallaci is being pushed out* by Jimmy Lechon, the new Family Boss who thinks there's not enough room for the both of 'em. Use the collaborative strength of your family to show him that he's not as dangerous as he thinks he is, and be among the top contributors to the fight for a chance to recieve the Death Card (200/200) when your family beats him!

Family Boss Fights pit your entire family against an epic boss. In the case of Jimmy Lechon, you'll have 7 days to reduce his 1,125,000 health to zero. (You may have more or less time to take out future Family Bosses.) Whenever the timer runs out on a Family Boss Fight, the boss' health resets and you will have another chance to prove your family is in charge.

*Note: If your family is currently engaged in a Family Boss Fight with Silverio Fallaci, you'll have to complete that fight in order for Jimmy Lechon to become available.

New Boss Fight: Coming Soon

Check out the Mafia Wars game and you'll see the New Boss Fight Teaser on your Mafia Wars Update page.  You can now click on "Collect" to collect consumables for the Boss Fight event.

Upon clicking on the "Collect" button, you will see a pop-up that shows you what consumable you have collected.

From Official Mafia Wars Blog:

The Boss Fight you know and love has been upgraded! This is the first of a number of exciting fighting features coming to Mafia Wars this quarter! In this Boss Fight, you’ll be tasked with taking out Roughhouse Rafael, and you’re given one week to do it!
A full week of fighting?... Sounds like only those with high stamina will survive. On the contrary, stamina has nothing to do with this fight! Instead, you will need to collect 4 new ammos from jobs, wars, robbing, and, should you choose, gifting to bring down Roughhouse.
As for the new ammos, our informants tell us that it would be unwise to assume that any one ammo is the best and use it the whole time. Apparently, the ammos, when used in certain sequences, unlock particularly damaging combos!  You will have the opportunity to discover one such combo by completing a Quest Event that will run during the Boss Fight. Other combos, you will have to discover on your own or via your friends’ feeds, if they beat you to the punch.

Get ready, ‘cause only the roughest and toughest will win this Boss Fight!
