Template:Issue11

Overview

Dual Blades is one of the powersets to come. It is a Scrapper primary power set and a Tanker secondary set in City of Heroes, and a Stalker and Brute primary powerset in City of Villains. It is set to come out with issue 11. The devs (Back Alley Brawler in particular) have confirmed that the set will be insanely quick.

A video of this set in action is available from the Official movie page!

Powers

Closest proxies have been used for the icons here, to get the effects of the attacks across. WIP, what can I say? Pythe 17:32, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

Combination Attacks

The highlight of the dual blades power set is its implementation of a "combo system." Most attacks lack a secondary effect (like Katana's -Def or Dark's -Acc) but the set makes up for this by adding the ability to chain attacks together to create an additional effect at the end.

This table needs work to fit in with the look and feel of the others. -Pythe 18:04, 24 October 2007 (EDT)
