'''Claws''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s, and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s.
[[Image:Villainclaws1.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Villain claws]]


'''Claws''' is a Melee Primary power set, though it does contain one Ranged attack. [[Scrapper]]s, in City of Heroes, and [[Stalker]]s, in City of Villains, have access to Claws.
"Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other melee sets."

Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other Stalker or Scrapper melee sets. Like all Stalker primary attack powers, Claw attacks can land a Critical Hit for double damage, if you are properly Hidden or if your target is Slept or Held. Like all scrapper powers, all Claw attacks can sometimes land a critical hit for double damage.

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack.

=== [[File:Claws_AssassinClaw.png]] Assassin's Claw ===
A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior lethal damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage, as you impale your unsuspecting foe.

You spin and slash violently, Eviscerating all foes in a wide arc in front of you. For Scrappers this attack has an exceptionally good critical hit capability, better than other Claw attacks, that can sometimes deal double damage.  
{{EdNote|note='''Stalkers only:''' You spin and slash violently at the foe in front of you. This attack deals exceptional damage, and has a high chance of landing a critical hit even while not hidden.


For Stalkers, if this attack is executed while hidden, all affected targets have a chance to be hit with a critical hit for extra lethal damage. However, there is also a very small chance you may land a critical hit with Eviscerate even if you are not hidden.

Overview

Claws is a standard power set that is a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.

"Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other melee sets."

Possible Claws Weapon Customizations.

Powers

Claws AssassinClaw.png Assassin's Claw

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior lethal damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage, as you impale your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden has a chance to critically hit equal to 33.3% times the number of stacks of Assassin's Focus. Using Assassin's Claw when not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

Editor's Note:

Stalkers only: You spin and slash violently at the foe in front of you. This attack deals exceptional damage, and has a high chance of landing a critical hit even while not hidden.
