What missions, TF's etc?... at higher levels would compare to DFB's. I love the whole make team and run through destroying everything. I really like being part lf a team and seeing everyone do their part and making that synergy with each other.

What else is like DFB's in that aspect but for higher level toons? I have not been playing long so I don't know about the upper level content. My highest level toon is only 24, got a 18 and a 15 also.

Thanks :0)

Paragon wiki has a list of Hero TFs, Trials, and Villain SFs including their level ranges and minimum number of people required.


If you haven't already, the ITF (lvl 35+ in cimerora(co-op)) is sort of similar to DFB in that it's pretty easy and you can run through and smash everything. It require's you unlock the zone first by doing the respective story arc first though.


I would strongly reccomend doing all the TFs though and find what you like best. My favorite TFs are Apex and Tin mage but they're lvl 50 and VIP only and a bit more challenging than normal TFs.

The short answer is that there is nothing currently in-game that is "like" the DFB Trial. The trial was brand new for Issue 21, and is the first of its type.

A new trial called "Drowning in Blood" is slated for Issue 22 that will be similar in that it is accessed through the Team-Up Teleporter for characters level 15+

Until then, I agree with DreadShinobi in that Task/Strike Forces are an excellent way to go

Yes, I RP and play Redside on Virtue - No, Rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated

Do you suck at COH/COV? not yet...

If that's what you like about DFB then you can get that with anything where you have a team. Individual missions can be run with full teams and it's not at all uncommon for people to group up and just run regular missions. The size and composition of enemy spawns is tied to the number of players in the group so if you like plowing through a large number of enemies you'll still get that even on 'regular' missions.

Task/strike forces and trials are the content specifically geared toward teams. The chief distiction between trials and task forces is that trials have a special award for completing them (usually just on the first successful run) and usually have the final mission on a timer. The only difference between task forces and strike forces is that task forces (except for the co-op ones) are for heroes and strike forces are for villains. The links below show the different ones and the minimum level needed to participate.

The ITF at 35 is the closest feel to DFB in the game for me. Most other Task Forces are more complicated, and on blue side long. The ITF does require a strong team, but its usual to find one or two incarnates on an ITF these days. The ITF takes 25 min (extreme speed by expert team) to hour (reg team, hitting most stuff) to very shardy/exp of an hour and a half. The objectives can be hard, but are very straightforward. Best, its worth about a level at 35, and about 1/2 level in low 40s, to almost half a level in late 40s.

This is true too in some respects. Get a team together, and run Radio or Newpaper missions. Those are what we used to use for fun-smashy and fast leveling. They still work too. Dial up the difficulty a bit (+1 or +2 is good for PUGs) and the XP will roll in that much faster.

Also, join the global channels for your server. Once you get 5 or 6 on a team it becomes much easier to find a folks who are willing to join, esp. with the global channels. Good times.
