You need to be a villain or rogue.

Death is part of my attack chain.

This, with a caveat: While you can't get the accolade itself as a vigilante/rogue, nor can you use the accolades for the opposing side, you can get all of the badges needed for the accolades as a vigilante or rogue, and then the accolade will open up immediately when you finish switching. So if your vigilante gets all of the mayhem mission exploration badges, they'll get Invader as soon as they complete the alignment mission that switches them to villain.|

Also, if you switch sides with an accolade, you get the opposing side's corresponding accolade, whether you have the appropriate badges or not.

Okay, so if I wanted invader instead of TF commander, I'd have to go full villain to get it. Bummer.

That's exactly what I did with my Tanker, who is currently a Hero. Picked up Soul Mastery while I was over there.|

I don't see why it's a problem that you have to completely change your Alignment to do this?
Personally id run invader 67547567567567 times before doing one synapse

I don't like it on ALL my toons mind you, but I enjoy doing it on an AoE centered toon, like my Fire/Fire blaster.
Topic related though, I find going villain, getting Demonic Aura, then switching back to Hero is actually LESS of a bother to me than getting freakin' Eye of the Magus, that sucks to get, but damn it's oh-so-useful.

I love the Synapse TF. I just finished it last night on my Fire/Fire tanker, and it was a lot of fun. Granted, I did die more than a couple times due to a lack of a healer in the party, and my power selection choices locking Hasten out because I took it too late. I dont think there are any signature TFs that I actively hate, other than the original Positron
If a villain has all the villain accolades and switches over to hero will he get the military epaulets?
Always hated the fact that Villains can't get those.

Yes. And if you switch back, the badge description says you get to keep them.

Now, you might have needed a couple more buffs or some enemy debuffs to keep you alive long enough to use HF again, but you really shouldn't need more healing on a FA tanker.
Ok so lemme get this right..... I have a Hero who leads a SG and I really don't want to go full villian. I plan to go Vig shortly just for badge purposes. I have all hero accolades I'm not worried about the powers its the badges I want. I need to go full villian for them to show up in my badge list?

You won't be dropped from your Super Group if you switch to Villain, but you will lose access to your base and will be demoted from Super Leader until you roll back around to Hero. Other than putting someone else in charge during the interim, there is no risk for switching sides.|

If you want redside accolades you have to go full Villain to actually get them. You can qualify for them as a Vigilante, but you don't actually get the badge until you switch to Villain. If you want to minimize your time as a Villain, go Vigilante and then complete the requirements for all the villain badges you want (you can go ahead and actually get some badges that aren't Villain only, like exploration badges). Once you have all the requirements, go full Villain and you should immediately get all of the accolades you had qualified for. You can then run a patron arc if you want access to Patron pools (might as well since you're stuck as a villain until your tips reset anyway) and the next day start back toward Hero.

Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

The Scavenger Hunt: 187076
The Instant Lair Delivery Service: 206636

Ok just want to double confirm....I'm ok with passing SG lead to one of my alts. If my hero goes full villain, I will not get booted from the SG or have my prestige number reset? Just wanna make sure. I like having it show 10million prestige after my name.

Correct, but you'll only be granted the Accolade badge and none of its prerequisites. |
You will not be booted or have your Prestige number reset. This was implemented for the very reason of allowing people who have made considerable investments into their super groups to switch sides without losing those investments.
During your time as a Villain, in addition to being demoted to Commander, you will not be able to enter Super Group mode and you cannot access your base.
Yep.

I love Synapse
I love to run it with my fire/nrg blaster.

Do I have to be a full on villain to get villain accolades, or can I get them as a Vigilante?
