Martial Combat

This information contains features from the Issue 24 beta that have been released on Homecoming.

Overview

Martial Combat is a secondary Power Set for Blasters.

Your mastery of Martial Combat allows you to draw on the physical energy stored within your body to perform remarkable feats. You deliver damage to your enemies via withering kicks and punches, while your preternatural senses keep you moving faster and striking harder than any who oppose you.

Powers

The following powers are in the Martial Combat Power Set.

Burst of Speed

Channeling physical Ki inwards, you move more quickly than can be seen for an instant, allowing you to move instantly to a targeted location and strike at targets within melee range. You can use this Burst of Speed up to 3 times within 10 seconds of activating it initially. Attacking at such high speed is dangerous to the user, as well - for each enemy you strike, you take minor damage.
