=== Defense/ToHit Bug ===
 
One thing worthy of note, for the purposes of Hamidon enhancements, is that the game does not treat ToHit Buff as a different effect from ToHit Debuff, or Defense Buff as different from Defense Debuff.  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.  So, for example, the game sees Tactics as applying a 1 scale ToHit change, and Radiation Infection as applying a -2.5 scale ToHit change, but there is no fundamental difference between Buffs and Debuffs.  There is also, thus, no fundamental difference between Buff and Debuff enhancements - they both boost the same field of a power, but powers are coded in the database to only permit one or the other to be slotted.
 
Because of this, if you were able to put an enhancement that boosted Defense Buff, for instance, into a power that had a Defense Debuff, that enhancement would work as normal.  Normally, you can't do this, as a power has to be set to allow Defense Buff enhancements for you to be able to put that Defense Buff enhancement in it.  But with Hamidon enhancements, you can get around this restriction.  You could, for example, slot a Membrane Exposure in a power like Fallout, as Fallout accepts Recharge enhancements and will accept a Membrane Exposure on that basis, and the Membrane Exposure's boost to Defense Buff and ToHit Buff will apply to the Defense Debuff and ToHit Debuff effects of Fallout.  In 2006, Debuff enhancements were changed to be 20% boosts rather than 33% boosts because people were using this exact mechanical flaw to increase +Defense and +ToHit powers beyond their design limits.
 
What this means, for practical purposes, is that Enzyme Exposures and Cytoskeleton Exposures are functionally identical, Membrane Exposures boost Debuff powers in addition to Buff powers, and Lysosome Exposures boost Buff powers in addition to Debuff powers.  This is an acknowledged flaw in the game, and without a complete rewrite to how enhancements and powers work, it is not likely to be fixed.

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.
