Mercy Island

Overview

Mercy Island is the first place a villain goes after escaping from the Breakout tutorial zone (excluding Villain Epic Archtypes, whom do not go through Breakout. As a beginner-level zone, most of the enemies are levels 1 - 6.

Here, villains will meet their first contact (Kalinda or Matthew Burke)* and begin to make their presence known to the powers that be. They begin in an area called "Fort Darwin," which also plays home to their first trainer: Arbiter Diaz. They'll likely spend their first five to six levels running missions out of here before picking up a new contact to the southwest. They tangle with large numbers of snakes, breaking the back of that group (at least on Mercy Island). Later missions take them to the area to the south called "Fort Cerberus."

Note: VIllain Epic Archtypes must do a single mission from Alan Desslock before choosing Kalinda or Matthew Burke.
