Alpha Slot Abilities

Overview

The Alpha Slot is the first "level" of the Incarnate System, which will launch with Issue 19, and requires a Going Rogue retail code to utilize. The Alpha Slot was initially supposed to launch with Going Rogue, but beta feedback said without content to play with the Alpha Slot, the system felt incomplete, so it was pushed back[1].

Power Boosts

The Incarnate Boosts give their components to every power that a character has that can utilize it. For instance, if a character has a boost that reduces endurance costs, every power that takes endurance to use would be increased (almost every single power a character has access to). If a character has a boost that increases Fear duration, Touch of Fear would be increased, but Power Bolt would not, since it does not have a Fear component.

Powers can be boosted by more than one aspect if they are applicable; Electric Fence can benefit from Musculature's primary component, Damage, and also the Immobilize and Endurance Modification components.

Boosts come in four rarity levels. The higher the rarity level, the more materials are needed to create them. Materials to create them are gathered through defeating enemies, Task Forces/Strike Forces, and most other activities.
