What is Alpha?
The Alpha Slot is the first " level " of the Incarnate tree which was released with Issue 19 Alpha Strike. You need to have a level 50 and have purchased the Going Rogue expansion and complete a relatively short mission tree in Ouroborous to unlock the slot. Then you need to craft the necessary items to put the enhancement in the Alpha Slot.
The new TF's Apex and Tin Mage apply a -4 debuff to all characters without their Alpha slotted which would make it a lot more challenging.
Zombie man has a good guide on Issue 19.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
can someone please link Zombie mans guide? I am unable to find it.

So, a non-Alpha slotted character would run it functioning as a level 46?

If so, ouch.

Yes, and the enemies in those TF spawn at 54 so a non-alpha-slotted character would be -8 to them; useless other than for buffing or possibly being vengeance/fallout bait.

Heh...when it first came out, several of us misunderstood it. We thought you needed it unlocked to function, and we tried the Tin Mage...clearing those hot spots was doable, but it took FOREVER (we had great accuracy buffys going), but my Energy Transfer was doing like 100 total damage, and I'm used to it doing 700+
Topic and what Task Forces\Srike Forces is it need for? As I wanted to join a Tin Man TF with a level 50, but could't because I did not have Alpha.
