Overview
Electrical Melee is a standard power set that is a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.
"Electricity surges through your body and you can channel this electricity through your fists. Electrical Melee allows you to pummel your foes with various melee attack powers while jolting them with a powerful electric current. Electric Melee powers can drain foes' Endurance and temporarily halt their Endurance Recovery. Some powers may even return a portion of drained Endurance back to you."

Tankers: Taunts a foe, and some nearby foes, to attack you. Useful for pulling villains off an ally who find themselves in over their head. Taunted foes tend to ignore other Heroes and focus on you for quite a while, so use this power cautiously. A To Hit check is required to Taunt enemy players, but is not needed against critter targets.

Historical
- This set was added to the game for Brutes in Issue 7.
- This set was proliferated to Stalkers in Issue 12.
- This set was proliferated to Scrappers and Tankers in Issue 16.
- Chain Induction's 100% chance to jump to another target if original target is still alive was broken if an Invention Origin Enhancement proc was placed in, as it would replace the 100% chance to jump value with the proc's value. An example would be if Touch of Death's proc Touch of Death: Negative Enemy Damage was place in. This would change the 100% chance to jump to 15% (the chance for the proc to activate extra Negative Damage). This was fixed in Issue 16.
- Lightning Rod also used to interact with Invention Origin Enhancement procs incorrectly. A proc placed in this power would attack the user instead of enemies. This was fixed but was not listed as a patch note in or before Issue 20.
