=== Multiple Types Exploit ===
Buff enhancements work the same as debuff enhancements of the same type.  The calculation the game uses is Scale * Strength, where Scale is positive for powers that Buff and negative for powers that Debuff, and Strength is increased by enhancements.  For example, the game sees Tactics as applying a 1 scale ToHit change, and Radiation Infection as applying a -2.5 scale ToHit change.  Both ToHit Buff and ToHit Debuff enhancements boost the ToHit aspect of those powers; the two powers are simply coded in the database to only permit one or the other to be slotted.
Since Hamidon Origin Enhancements have multiple types, it is possible to place a buff or debuff enhancement into a power in which it is not permitted, so long as one of the other enhancement types is allowed.  For example, Fallout, which does not allow Defense Buff or ToHit Buff enhancements, can accept Membrane Exposure, which will provide ToHit Buff, Defense Buff, and Recharge enhancement.  The "Detailed Info" display will confirm Fallout's defense and tohit debuffs are enhanced.
This bug can also be used to enhance Defense Buff in certain powers by 33.33% instead of 20% by using a Enhance Defense Debuff HO, and enhance Damage Resistance in certain powers by 33.33% instead of 20% by using an Enhance Damage HO.
Enhancements listed in the same row of the below table are equivalent, and differ only by which powers the enhancement is permitted in.

[[Castle_(Developer)|_Castle_]] once posted about this issue:<br />
:'''Slotting enhancements into powers they were not meant to be slottable in is an 'exploit.'  We've pretty much firmly established that. The question isn't if something being abused in this manner will be changed, it's a matter of when. To be on the safe side, you should never use a Debuff enhancement to Buff a power and vice versa. And, just to stave off any worries, the IO system works very differently from the HO system, and there *shouldn't* be any of these issues in that system. It'll have a whole set of issues all it's own!'''

Overview

Special Hamidon Enhancement.png

Hamidon Origin Enhancements refer to special enhancements that enhance two or more aspects of a power. These enhancements are obtained by defeating Hamidon in 'The Hive' (for heroes) or 'The Abyss' (for villains). Additionally, Statesman and Lord Recluse offer functionally-identical Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancements as a reward option from their arcs.

Hamidon Origin enhancements are often referred to as Hami-Os, HOs, SHOs, or SHOEs. Hamidon Origin enhancements are level 50, and may be used by characters of any origin and archetype of level 47 or higher.

Information

Special Enhancements will affect two or more aspects. If the power they are placed in has any aspect that can be enhanced, it will. Hamidon Origin enhancements are subject to Enhancement Diversification as all other enhancements are. Hamidon Origin enhancements enhance at the same level as Single Origin enhancements, which each aspect matching their schedule.

Example

A Centriole Exposure Hamidon enhancement will enhance Damage and Range. It can be placed in an enhancement slot for the Brawl power, and it will enhance the damage of the Brawl power. Since the Brawl power is unable to use Range enhancements, a Centriole Exposure enhancement will have no effect on the range of the Brawl power. However, if placed in an Illusion Controller's enhancement slot for the Blind power, which may be enhanced for both Damage and Range, it will enhance both aspects of that power.

Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancements

Synthetic Hamidon Enhancements are identical to normal Hamidon Enhancements in every way except for their name, and how they are procured. Unlike normal HamiOs, the synthetic ones can only be awarded you at the end of either the Lord Recluse Strike Force or the Statesman Task Force.
