Overview

Enhancements are permanent boosts to powers.

  • There are four main types of enhancements:
  1. Training
  2. Dual-Origin
  3. Single-Origin
  4. Special
  • Training and Special enhancements are usable by any characters.
  • Dual-Origin and Single-Origin enhancements are only usable by characters of specific origins.

  • There are 26 different Aspects which can be enhanced, such as Accuracy, Damage, and Recharge.
    • Each Aspect is categorized under 'Schedules', depending on their boost.
  • Enchancments that match the same Type and Aspect can be combined to form one enchancement that has a slightly larger boost.

Enhancement Types

Training

TO

  • Useable by any character.
  • Purchasable and dropped at all levels.

Dual-Origin

DO

  • Useable only by characters who match one of the two origins.
  • Purchasable at level 15 (useable by level 12's). Possible to drop at lower levels, though unlikely.
  • Can be combined with other DO's as long as one of the origins match the character's origin.
    • EXAMPLE: Science character. Can use Tech/Sci and Mut/Sci. Can combine Tech/Sci and Mut/Sci, can also combine Tech/Sci and Tech/Sci. Cannot combine Tech/Sci and Nat/Tech.

Single-Origin

SO

  • Useable only by characters matching its origin.
  • Purchasable at level 25 (useable by level 22's). Possible to drop at lower levels, usually through a Task/Strike Force or Trial. Still unlikely
  • Can only be combined with enhancements matching its origin

Special Types

NOTE: Currently only accessible to Hero characters

  • Enhances 2 or more aspects. Boost varies by type.
  • Useable by any character.
  • Can only be combined with other Special Types that enhance the same aspects
    • EXAMPLE:

      • Titan Diamond Shard (Accuracy/Damage).
      • Hammy Nucleolus Exposure (Accuracy/Damage).
      • The Diamond Shard and the Nucleolus can be combined.
      • Centriole and Diamond Shard cannot be combined.
      • Centriole can be placed in any power that does damage and/or has a range aspect. Can be placed in brawl, but will not increase melee range. A better choice would be the Nucleoulus.

Hamidon

HO (sometimes called Hammie-O's or just Hammy)

  • Enhances each aspect at the same level as Single-Origin enhancements.
  • Only dropped by Hamidon in The Hive, a level 45+ zone.
