'''Spines''' is a primary powerset in City of Heroes for both the [[Scrapper]] and [[Stalker]] archetypes.
'''Spines''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Scrappers]], [[Brutes]], and [[Stalkers]], and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s.


Spines protrude from your body and can deal damage in melee or at very short ranges. Spines are hollow and hold a neural toxin that deals additional toxic damage and can slow or immobilize your enemies. The toxin is cumulative, and multiple hits will affect the target more strongly. Very few foes have resistance to Spine poison. All Spine attacks can sometimes land a critical hit for double damage for scrappers, while for stalkers, they can land a critical hit for double damage if they are properly hidden or the target is slept or held.

Overview

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

"Spines protrude from your body and can deal damage in melee or at very short ranges. Spines are hollow and hold a neural toxin that deals additional Toxic damage and can slow or immobilize your enemies. The toxin is cumulative, and multiple hits will affect the target more strongly. Very few foes have resistance to Spine poison."

Powers

Quills AssassinStrike.png Assassin's Impaler

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 Impaler when not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.
