CITY of VILLAINS

Powers

Arachnos Soldiers

Brutes

  • Super Reflexes/Evasion: The brute version of this power will no longer have its defense affected by attacker’s level.
  • Brute Invulneraiblity/Invincibility: This power was generating substantially more threat than was intended. It has been brought down to generate a similar amount of threat as generated by a tanker.

Masterminds

  • Masterminds / Ninjas / Call Genin - Removed Quiver FX from Mastermind Genin pets when upgraded.
  • Improved damage of Mastermind Genin Shuriken powers. They now recharge more slowly, and take slightly more endurance, as well.
  • Mastermind Ninja Jounin should work as they did with I12 Launch -- all changes to their AI since have been reverted out.
  • The Ouroboros Portal will now have a description in its info if selected by a Mastermind.
  • Robotics/Pulse Rifle Blast: This power can no longer be slotted with knockback enhancements as it doesn’t have a knockback component.
  • Mastermind Soldier Medics now lose their Brawl attack when their Tier 1 upgrade is applied. This makes them less likely to rush forward into combat.
  • Mastermind Soldier Medics no longer throw their frag grenades. Instead, they are launched from their submachinegun.
  • Mastermind Necromancy Liches Torrent power should now only do Knockdown, unless slotted with Knockback Enhancements or otherwise buffed.
