    Maybe it means he's sidekicking to you? I do see you are the team Champion, and he is also your level.

    Protect your sidekick!

    Nope, he'd have a blue starburst around his level number then.

    I'd throw an idea and say it gave a quick glance to what passive they were running buuut that Doc Quantum guy is running the same one and doesn't have the icon...So I dunno...

    Doesn't that starburst only show when you're the one being sidekicked?

    Edit: yeah I just checked a video I recorded in an alert. Green starburst around my character and not any of the others (everyone's sidekicked to 30).

    Buuuut..... One guy on the team has a little icon of a starburst under the cogwheel, where the shield is on that screenshot. Humm.

    Third guy on the list of teammates has a little shield icon under his role icon.

    The starburst icon (on my video) and shield icon on this picture seem to correspond to the Offensive/Defensive/Utility icons. Shrug.

    Almost. It shows all the people being sidekicked in your team.

    Sidekick Champion.
    Sidekick...Minion guy.

    I believe it is because Alert teams aren't actually 'teams', but as it says, 'Open Mission Group'. Everyone is set to level 30, but since you aren't actually on a team it doesn't show the starbursts on their numbers.

    Alert Teaming.

    And, continuing on this...In my screenshot, nobody has the icon at all. I am 27, we had a level 8, 34, 20, and 22 in the group. (Although we barely won it.) I have doubts levels mean anything...But it just seems utterly random.

    I think it means he's FF, running in tank build.
    I've noticed only my FF's get 2 symbols and never if they are in hybrid.
    But then I've also seen someone with 2 tank symbols, so....

    ok just been in an alert,

    top one appears to be what the at/ff is, general type.
    bottom one is current build, if they have a choice. the alert had a tank/tank, ranged/hybrid, a hybrid/ sidekicking(he was level 14 and had the starburst symbol second), a support /support,and my ff(gearwheel)/tank.

    The top one is the player's current role, but the second one appeared when he switched to the Tank role. I see this thing somewhat often, even on AT Players.

    I just can't get my head around as to what the hell the thing means, and by the looks of things around here, not a lot of us actually know what it is anyway. Also, nobody in the team was sidekicking when the screenshot was taken, else a blue/green burst would have appeared behind their level.


    Note to self: Use a more outstanding color than red for outlining next time.

    It took me like 5 minutes until I saw the little red box around the shield. (Found Waldo!) Never actually notice this before in teams. Something planned for future features?

    Took me a while to notice, too. It is kinda overshadowed by the NPC in the purple shirt.
