Leadership

Overview

Leadership is a power pool accessible to all Archetypes. The Leadership powers grant various bonuses to you and to all teammates, including pets, that are within range and in line-of-sight of the center of the effect. The first three powers are toggle PBAoEs centered on the character using them. The final power is a click AoE centered on a defeated teammate.

Power Tables

The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Power	Level	Effect

Vengeance	20	Click Targeted AoE Team +DMG +ACC +DEF(All) Res(Effects)

Powers

Maneuvers

A good leader knows how to protect his team. While active, this power increases the Defense of yourself and all nearby teammates to all attacks.

Minimum Level 6 (All Archetypes) Recharge Slow Effects Toggle Point Blank Area of Effect (60 feet radius) Teammate +Defense Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Defense Buffs Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Defense

Assault

While this power is active, you and your nearby teammates deal more damage and are resistant to Taunt and Placate.

Minimum Level 6 (All Archetypes) Recharge Slow Effects Toggle Point Blank Area of Effect (60 feet radius) Teammate +Damage, Resist(Taunt, Placate) Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Set Categories None

Tactics

While this power is active, your Accuracy and that of all your nearby teammates is increased. Your advanced Tactics also protect you and your team from Confuse and Fear effects, as well as your Perception so you can detect Stealthy foes.

Minimum Level 14 (All Archetypes) Recharge Slow Effects Toggle Point Blank Area of Effect (60 feet radius) Teammate +ToHit, +Perception, Protect(Confuse), Resist(Confuse, Fear, -Perception) Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance ToHit Buff Increase Attack Rate Set Categories To Hit Buff

Vengeance

The loss of a comrade enrages the team. When a teammate is defeated in combat, activate this power to grant you and your teammates a bonus to Accuracy, Damage and Defense to all attacks. A Vengeful team has no fear, and Vengeance protects you and your Teammates from Fear effects. It also gives you and your team great resistance to Sleep, Hold, Disorient, Immobilize, Confuse, Taunt, Placate and Knockback. This power does not stack with multiple castings.

Vengeance cannot target defeated pets. Vengeance is unique in that its buffs will not apply to a character who already has a Vengeance buff active from a different character. (Its heal is not a buff and always applies.) You can, however, have multiple Vengeance buffs trigger simultaneously - if a defeated team mate is Recalled and multiple players have Vengeance queued to trigger, all of the multiple Vengeance buffs will stack. This is often used in Lord Recluse's Strike Force and Statesman's Task Force to provide a suitable buff to damage to take out multiple concurrent Heroes/AVs.

Archetype Differences

As with many pools, the effects of the different Leadership powers vary in strength depending on the Archetype of the character using them. The Leadership pool has more variance than any other pool, though, especially for Vengeance.
