What are the badges you need to get that will up your powers? I came across one hero and read their info and looked at their powers. When I scrolled down passed thier power list they had a huge list of percentages like 5% increase to health, 5% increase to defense and the list went on. I assume those were from getting badges or completing some kind of missions. Can someone fill me in on how to go about getting those?

Also whats better in your opinon H/O enhancements or I/O enhancements,
what has the stronger return?

just do a search for the accolade that you want and it should pop up

If you type in the name of the accolade in the wiki search function it will describe what you need to get the accolade. Mostly you have to earn badges (explore, defeat, history) to unlock the specific accolade.

Woeful Knight (BS/Regen/Body Scrapper)
Kevin Christian (MC/FF/Primal Controller)
SilverCybernaut (Eng/Dev/Munitions Blaster)

If you're talking about the things in their powers that say something like: Luck of the Gambler Global Recharge Bonusx5, Tiny Increased Health bonusx2, etc. those are set bonuses from using IOs.

In first line of overview, click accolade badges. Then click the badge you want, it will tell you what to do.

Yes, Accolades will be listed separately, below the set bonuses I think. Accolade powers are listed by name ("Born in Battle", "Earned the Statesman's Star", etc.) rather than their effect.

To answer your other question, it really depends on what you're trying to do. In general though, IOs can do a better job of increasing any character's survivability if you shoot for defense set bonuses, and other set bonuses can make your character more powerful (ex. recharge set bonuses on a Dominator to get perma-Domination). Non-melee archetypes can get to the defense softcap (45%) for either two damage types or a single position (melee, ranged, AoE) with varying degrees of ease, although sometimes this means making sacrifices and having your powers not fully enhanced to the ED cap. It's up to you to decide whether or not the trade-off is truly worth it, but I think most would agree that the set bonuses you can get more than make up for the 1-10% enhancement you might lose to some of your powers.

If you don't already have it, Mids' Hero Designer is an excellent tool for planning out builds or even just taking a look to see at just what's available for a given archetype/powerset combination.

I corrected an error in the template that prevented the direct link for each badge.

Check it out again, and you'll see which badge is needed, and there will be a link to the badge.

Just to be sure, what was the section name on the screen? Each section of the list tells you what it is.
