Overview

Dark Melee allows you to focus the powers of the Netherworld to defeat your foes. The draining effect of most of these powers can reduce the target's Accuracy. It is a primary powerset for Scrappers, Brutes, and Stalkers, and a secondary powerset for Tankers.

This powerset was added to the options for Tankers in Issue 12.
