'''Ongoing Training Missions''' were added in [[Issue 21]] as a way for new players to learn more about City of... gameplay.

==From I21 Patch Notes==
* Through a series of missions, players are taught the higher-level features of our game in a very informal and easygoing series of [[Story Arc|storyarcs]].
* Players are introduced to a contact who has heard things about their adventures and is considering inviting them to join their elite group of super-powereds
* These arcs are OPTIONAL and can be done at any time, though it's recommended to start at the levels listed below for an optimal training experience
* These missions are intended for training of Heroes and Villains; there is not a Praetorian version of these ongoing training missions
* The intent of these missions are to teach through fun, not to feel like the 4th wall has been broken
* Heroes report to [[Twinshot]] who has teamed up with a ragtag collection of heroes:
** Twinshot - Twinshot is a trained commando with a friendly demeanor and a mysterious past
** [[Grym]] - Grym is a guardian from another realm; he is one of the grims that has been sent to watch over Paragon City
** [[Proton]] - The last survivor of a future version of Earth, Proton has traveled to our time in an attempt to prevent the catastrophe that consumed his world
** [[Dillo]] - Part of the [[Galactic Refugees]], Dillo has been sent to Earth to warn them of the threat of the Shivans
** [[Flambeaux]] - Sassy li'l thing, that Flambeaux
* Villains receive a message from [[Dr. Graves]] about an opportunity to test their strength against a rogues' gallery of rough characters:
** Dr. Graves- A scientist who found a way to stop cellular death, Graves is a rather nice guy who needs to chop apart people to replace his limbs, which become damaged due to an illness
** [[Crosscut]] - A serial killer who likes using blades. On anyone or anything. Anytime. Anywhere.
** [[Dollface]] - A coy assassin with a penchant for drama.
** [[Omnicore]] - A woman obsessed with creating the ultimate weapon, this tech-geek has given up her humanity to ensure her goal becomes realized
** [[Zephyr]] - A nebulous being composed of smoke and cloud, Zephyr is a manifestation of the wind itself.

** Using trams (aka [[Paragon City Monorail|Monorail]] / [[Ferry]])
