Overview

By means of the Pillar of Ice and Flame in the Ouroboros Enclave, heroes and villains can revisit lower-level Story Arcs and missions.

How It Works

To do a Flashback mission or Story Arc, click on an Aspect of the Pillar. A dialog box will appear with a list of Story Arcs and Badge Missions, sorted by level range. Arcs you have already completed will have a star next to them.

When you pick one, the box displays the introductory mission description from that arc's contact. Accept the mission, and you're given another dialog box filled with buttons and dropdown menus. These are a selection of optional challenges. If you're looking to test your might, or hunting for badges, these options are a treasure trove.

Badges

When 'flashing back' to a story arc, you can select from a range of bonus challenges. What fun is easy? When you complete the story arc, if you fulfilled the challenge requirements, you earn a badge.

Total Completed

Complete a number of Flashback Story Arcs

Time Limit

Complete a Flashback Story Arc within a certain time limit. Different arcs have different time limits. (30, 60, 120 minutes is a pretty common setup, though)

Limited Lives

Complete a Flashback Story Arc with a limited number of team member deaths.

Buffed Enemies

All enemies are buffed. Doing a Story Arc in each level range earns a different badge:

You are debuffed. Doing a Story Arc in each level range earns a different badge:

No Enhancements

Your enhancements have no effect. Doing a Story Arc in each level range earns a different badge:
