Overview

Fiery Aura is one of the powersets. It is a Tanker primary power set in City of Heroes and a Brute secondary power set in City of Villains, and as of Issue 12 a Scrapper secondary power set in City of Heroes.

You can engulf yourself in protective flames. Fiery Aura offers superior resistance to Fire damage, but weak resistance to Cold damage and no protection to Knockback. Fiery Aura is the most offensive of the defensive Power Sets, offering some damage output.

FlamingShield RiseOfThePhoenix.png Rise of the Phoenix

If you are defeated, you can rise from the ashes. The fiery resurrection blasts nearby foes with an explosion and knocks them down and Disorients them. You will revive with about half of your Hit Points and Endurance. Rise of the Phoenix will actually leave you invulnerable for a brief time, and protected from XP Debt for 90 seconds.

(Note: The Phoenix will strike a total of three times, with two seconds between strikes. Each strike automatically hits enemies within range and deals heavy damage, a magnitude 4 stun, and Knockback. If enemies stay within the 25' radius of the Phoenix's attack for all three strikes, nuke-level total damage and a very high magnitude of stun will be dealt. Powers that make enemies immune to Knockback (such as many holds and most immobilizes), enemies with inherent Knockback protection (such as Arch-Villains), and nearby walls and corners can all become tactically important when this power is used.)
