Powers

The following are powers in the Trick Arrows powerset.

Acid Arrow

This arrow explodes in a shower of acid on impact. This acid eats through armor, causing damage over time. It reduces the target's defense as well as his damage resistance.

Disruption Arrow

This arrow plants a sonic resonator at a target location. The vibrations of the resonator weaken the damage resistance of all nearby foes.

EMP Arrow

This arrow can unleash a massive pulse of electromagnetic energy on impact. This EMP can affect machines, and is even powerful enough to affect synaptic brain patterns. It will incapacitate all foes in its radius. Additionally, most machines and robots will take moderate high damage. However, this power uses a lot of endurance and leaves you unable to recover endurance for a while.

Damage Moderate, High Damage versus Robots Recharge Very Long Minimum Level 32 (Defender) 38 (Controller) 38 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect) Foe: Hold, -Regeneration Self -Recovery Special vs. Robots Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Hold Duration Enhance Endurance Modification Enhance Accuracy

Entangling Arrow

Upon impact, the Entangling Arrow releases a strong net that can immobilize most targets. This non-lethal device deals no damage and does not prevent targets from attacking, although their attack rate is slowed. The Entangling Arrow can bring down flying entities and halts jumping.

Recharge Fast Minimum Level 1 (Defender) 1 (Controller) 1 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged Foe: Immobilize, -Fly -Recharge, Slow Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Range Enhance Immobilization Duration Enhance Accuracy

Flash Arrow

This arrow explodes in a dazzling flash of light and sound. The targets are so blinded that they can hardly see a thing. Most villains will not be able to see past normal melee range, although some may have better perception. If the villains are attacked, they will be alerted to your presence, but will suffer a penalty to accuracy.

Recharge Slow Minimum Level 1 (Defender) 2 (Controller) 2 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged Foe: -Accuracy, -Perception Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance ToHit Debuff Enhance Accuracy

Glue Arrow

This arrow carries a cartridge of intensely sticky glue, which explodes on impact. The glue slows the movement and attack rates of any foes in the area.

Ice Arrow

This arrow can freeze a single foe in a block of ice. The target is frozen solid, helpless, and can be attacked. More powerful foes may not be held, but all affected targets will be slowed and take some cold damage.

Recharge Moderate Minimum Level 6 (Defender) 10 (Controller) 10 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged Foe: Hold, -Speed, -Recharge Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Range Enhance Hold Duration Enhance Slow Enhance Accuracy

Oil Slick Arrow

On impact, this arrow creates an oil slick that slows foes in the area and many cause them to slip and fall. The oil slick is very flammable and may burst into flames if fire is used near it.

Damage Special Damage(Fire) Recharge Long Minimum Level 26 (Defender) 35 (Controller) 35 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect) Foe: Knockdown, -Speed, -Defense Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Slow Enhance Defense Debuff Enhance Damage
