Powers

The following are powers in the Kinetics powerset.

Fulcrum Shift

Fulcrum shift drains the power of a targeted foe and all foes nearby, transferring it to all adjacent allies, you, and those near you. Affected foes will deal less damage, while your affected allies will deal more. The more foes that are affected, the more power you and your allies receive. Fulcrum SHift can dramatically turn the tide of a battle.

Recharge:       Fast
Minimum Level:  8 (Defender)
                16 (Corruptor)

Effects:        Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect)
                Foe -Damage
                Team +Damage

Increase Density

Increases an ally's mass, freeing him from any disorientation, immobilization, or hold effects and leaving him resistant to such effects for a while. Increase Density also protects the target from knockbacks, repels, and enemy teleportation, as well as smashing and energy damage. Because the target grows more dense, his movement speed is slowed. Although the damage resistance and slowing effects will not stack with multiple applications, the rest of the effects of Increase Density will. You cannot use this power on yourself.

Recharge:       Fast
Minimum Level:  8 (Defender)
                16 (Corruptor)

Effects:        Ranged
                Ally Special

                Reduce Endurance Cost
                Enhance Range
                Enhance Recharge Speed

Inertial Reduction

You can reduce your inertia, along with that of all nearby allies. The affected allies can then jump incredible distances for a while.

Recharge:       Long
Minimum Level:  18 (Defender)
                28 (Corruptor)

Repel

Repel creates a zone of kinetic energy that violently repels nearby foes. Each foe that is repelled costs additional endurance.

Recharge:       Slow
Minimum Level:  2 (Defender)
                4 (Corruptor)

Effects:        Self Area of Effect
