How does the game handle Rogues and Vigilantes earning accolades on the other side?

For example if a Rogue completes all the TF's for the Task Force Commander Accolade how is that handled? Does he get the Task Force Betrayer badge and no accolade as if he had earned the TFC and switched sides? Does it translate into the Invader accolade (which is the same bonus on villain side)? Or does he get no badge/accolade at all?

You dont get the hero accolade as a rogue until you go full hero. You dont get both 'versions' of the accolade however, only the one. You automatically get the equivalent version (and badge) of any accolade you already possess on fully switching sides.


Defiant 50: Blonde Justice inv/ss; Lady Aminta emp/elec; Sierra Colt merc/traps; Tess LaCoyle elec/elec (blaster); Powerstorm elec/elec (brute);
Union 50: @Steel Dancer WP/DB; Blast Pulse Fire/Rad (corr); Bitter Twilight Earth/Psi (dom); Compassionate Emp/Psi;
Freedom 50: Incandescent Blaze ElecAm/Fire;

With some badges you have to switch fully to the other side to get them.

Heroes/Vigilantes:
  • Received the Atlas Medallion*
  • Conspiracy Theorist*
  • Portal Jockey*
  • Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member*
  • Archmage*
  • Vanguard*
  • Geas of the Kind Ones*
  • Task Force Commander*

Villains/Rogues:
  • Marshal*
  • Headline Stealer*
  • Born in Battle*
  • High Pain Threshold*
  • Demonic*
  • Megalomaniac*
  • Force of Nature*
  • Invader*

* A note on Accolades: When they fully switch sides, characters will receive the corresponding accolade badge and power to any they already own.

What happens to the accolades when I switch sides?
If you have one side's version of the following accolades, you will get another when you fully switch:

Portal Jockey Badge <-> Born in Battle Badge
Archmage Badge <-> Demonic Badge
Geas of the Kind Ones Badge <-> Force of Nature Badge
Conspiracy Theorist Badge <-> Headline Stealer Badge
Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member Badge <-> High Pain Threshold Badge
Task Force Commander Badge <-> Invader Badge
Received the Atlas Medallion Badge <-> Marshal Badge
Vanguard Badge <-> Megalomaniac Badge

You will get each badge's power. You will not automatically get the prerequisites though.

No, you cannot "double dip" the red & blue accolade powers.

If you are a hero then the villain accolade powers are non-functional (dimmed/greyed out). If you are a villain then the hero accolade powers are non-functional (dimmed/greyed out). If you change alignments later, then you have to swap out the power icons, use a different power tray, or use the available power names in your binds (for the powers that are not automatic).
