City of Villains Power-Accolade Level Guide
Who's online.This is a level guide telling you what what contacts to make, missions to do, and locations to get badges and plaques.
For each level (or level range) give the recommended actions and what Accolade they lead to, and what kind of level limit the action has (ie you have to be a certain lvl to get it, and whether you have to be a certain lvl to do it).
Many thanks to City Game Tracker, City Info Terminal and Vidiot Maps.
(When you look at your Character Detail at http://www.cityinfoterminal.com/ it is the toonid in the URL.)

For exploration and history missions the level is the level of the highest boss of the zone, so you have a reasonable chance of getting the badges without dying.
This guide aims to show an optimal route to collect the power Accolades you choose to benefit your toon - both naturally (at the normal level) or if you bring in a higher level toon to tag along with.
There are badges you can only get if the leader of the team is below a given level. The highest level can get these at any time. They are noted. You will need to find an accommodating alt to help you.

Mayhem
Top
 Force of Nature
+REC, +END
Level 40 (no minimum). Increase your recharge speed, Endurance recovery, and Accuracy for 1 minute. Defense will be severely reduced. Long recharge (guesstimate 25 minutes). Corresponds to the Geas of the Kind Ones hero accolade. |
|
Obtain the following badges.
-
Vandal Badge
Destroy 25 Hydrants, 25 Mailboxes, 25 Newspaper stands, and 25 Pay phones. Bit hard to keep track of this one. Hydrants seem the rarest. -
Hero Slayer Badge
Defeat 100 heroes from the end of mayhem missions.
How to get it really: Kill the Demons spawned by Infernal which count as Heroes. So keep getting Inferal to spawn them and milk him for all he's worth. So long as you don't kill Infernal (obvously), he will keep spawning, after a little rest each time. He should do 5 or 6 every 4 minutes or so. -
Impounder Badge
Destroy 200 cars
-
Outlaw Badge
Defeat 1000 members of the Paragon Police Department -
Safecracker Badge
Open 10 safe doors -
Firebug Badge
Complete 10 arson side missions. Note that only the person who activates the final bomb gets the badge credit. This makes it HARD. To farm, get the Kings Row mayhem (2 side missions mean 40% chance of arson for each 3 paper missions), and stand the lowbie who got it outside (do NOT go in). Then the higher level toon can go in, burn the place, exit, and the lowbie can reset. You can do this forever, swapping out higher level toons as desired. Requires patience on the part of the lowbie.
 Invader
+5%HP
Level 50 (no minimum). +5% hit points. Equivalent to the Task Force Commander accolade for heroes. |
