Overview

Anything that happens between entities in City of Heroes outside of simple movement passes through the Powers system. All attacks that you can cast, all shields you can have, all buffs you can grant and your current statuses and other attributes are part of a general combat system, which is modified almost exclusively through the use of Powers. While the full capacity of the Powers system is beyond the scope of the article, the most pertinent information that players will need to know are documented here.
