'''Defender'''


The Defender's powers focus on healing allies, increasing their buffing abilities and decreasing foes' debuffing abilities. The Defender has little offensive or defensive punch of his own, but can radically increase the effectiveness of even the smallest team up, and he and the Blaster have the only ranged attacks.
The Defender is a long range support specialist. This Archetype is quite effective with Ranged attacks (though not quite on par with the Blaster), but the Defender's true worth shines in another area. Defenders are the premier helpers in the game - they are the best at strengthening their teammate's abilities (buffing) and weakening foes (debuffing). They aren't built for lengthy hand to hand combat, though they aren't fragile, either. The Defender needs to keep an eye both on his teammates and the enemy - in order to see which requires his powerful attention first!


The Defender is a suitable archetype for grouping, though soloing is possible.  Difficult, but possible.  However, the tremendous usefulness of Defenders' powers should guarantee that they will always be able to find a team up to adventure with.
The Defender's power sets are:
 
'''Primary''': Buff
 
'''Secondary''': Ranged
 
The Defender Has Medium Hit Points and Medium Damage

Overview

Defender

The Defender is a long range support specialist. This Archetype is quite effective with Ranged attacks (though not quite on par with the Blaster), but the Defender's true worth shines in another area. Defenders are the premier helpers in the game - they are the best at strengthening their teammate's abilities (buffing) and weakening foes (debuffing). They aren't built for lengthy hand to hand combat, though they aren't fragile, either. The Defender needs to keep an eye both on his teammates and the enemy - in order to see which requires his powerful attention first!

The Defender's power sets are:

Primary: Buff

Secondary: Ranged

The Defender Has Medium Hit Points and Medium Damage
