OUROBOROS AND ACCOMPLISHMENT BADGE GUIDE BY SNOWCONE FREEZE

 

     Here is my guide for the most efficient way to get a bunch of accomplishment badges while getting all of the Ouroboros badges. I have developed and perfected this process over several characters. This is the Snowcone Freeze’s approved method to get 38 accomplishment and 78 Ouroboros and 7 Gladiator Badges and 1 Accolade.

 

     If you are familiar with Ouroboros badges skip ahead to the next paragraph. If you are new to Ouroboros badges there is a lot to know ahead of time. Ouro badges are largely ignored in the game, because most characters don’t badge and they don’t contribute to Accolade powers and they are time consuming and there are a lot of them and some of them are annoying to get. Ouro badges are broken down into eight level tiers. For most of the tiers there are seven badges to get. They are 1) No Travel powers 2) AT only (primary and secondary powers only) 3) No Temporary powers 4) Player under constant debuff (your Accuracy, Damage, etc is lower) 5) Enemies are buffed (enemies Acc, Dam, etc is boosted) 6) No Inspirations 7) Player enhancements have no effect. So #1 No Travel and #2 AT only #3 No Temps and #5 Enemies buffed are minor inconveniences and are easy to get. Next, #6 No inspirations is generally not an issue, but is highly situational, using this guide will ameliorate that. Then #4 Player debuff is annoying, you will need to use red and yellow inspirations to compensate. Lastly, #7 Player enhancements have no effect, this is the bane of your existence. We all forget how much enhancements are helping us all the time. No enhancements will have you eating yellow and blue inspirations faster than M&Ms. And M&Ms are delicious. For most level tiers you will make three passes, one for No Travel, one for AT only and one for No Temps because those three cannot be done at the same time. Then you match the other four across those three runs. For the two highest level tiers there are a few additional badges, No epic powers, No Incarnate powers, etc, but they are very easy to get. There are a few additional badges, no defeats, time limits, etc that you will get effortlessly as you go. Ouro badges are easier to get in small groups, but it is next to impossible to find anyone to join you. Almost all Ouro badges are soloed.

 

Using this guide to maximize efficiency to get all of the Ouro badges and a bunch of Accmpl badges means you will at times be working on several Ouro badges and one Accmpl badge simultaneously. There will be times when you are only working on Ouro badges and there will be times you are only working on one Accmpl badge. Specifically there are a bunch of Hero side Accmpl badges in the 35-39 Level range that are mini arcs and are time consuming, running them without any Ouro constraints will maximize speeding through them. You are strictly badging so speed/stealth as much as you can. In a door mission it is objectives only. For the vast majority of these badges I fight nothing; once inside I run to the back of the map and get the objective. If you are attacked along the way JUST KEEP RUNNING, if you are knocked down, JUST KEEP RUNNING, if you are put to sleep, eat a break free and JUST KEEP RUNNING. I think I was chased on two occasions only.

 

Guide keywords:

“giant crystal” means after you select your mission from the small Ouro crystal turn ninety degrees

      and click the giant ouro crystal in the center of the room, you will immediately be in the zone of the first mission door.

“MT” means after you select your mission from the small Ouro crystal immediately use your

      Mission Teleporter/Team Teleporter to get to the first mission door.

“Ouro portal” means after you select your mission from the small Ouro crystal, go the regular Ouro portal

      and click your mission at the top of the list. Same as board transit.

“use LRT” means after you select your mission from the small Ouro crystal, click your Long Range Teleporter power

      to go to the specific zone I mention.

“RETURN TO CONTACT” means after you get your badge(s) and Reward Merits do NOT quit the TF, but instead

      go back to the contact’s actual location to receive something additional, such as an important temporary power.

“RM” means Reward Merits.

“No Epic powers” means no ancillary/patron powers.

“REPEAT” means you will run the same arc again, with different Ouro badges even though you have the Accmpl badge already.

 

 

Before you start Ouro badging there are a bunch of things I strongly recommend.

Ouro Badging Preparation:

> Be level 50.

> Have the Long Range Teleporter power with all regular Hero side and Villain side zones unlocked.

> Mission Teleporter and/or Team Teleporter from the START vendor. This will greatly speed up your travel times.

> A temporary travel power, such as the LKT-1700 Rocket Pack, from the START vendor.

     This is how you will get around when you are set to #2 AT only.

> Buy a bunch of large inspirations and leave them ready to grab in the /ah. You will meet a few

     Elite Bosses and you will need them. Also for #7 No enhancement runs.

> SET to Notoriety to  +0/1  Solo No Bosses

This is a nice guide update, though if they ever put the restriction of Badge missions not being eligible will cause an issue.
