Overview

Psychic Blast is one of the powersets. It is a Defender secondary power set in City of Heroes and as of Issue 12 a Blaster primary power set.

Blast villains with an array of offensive Psionic powers. Most Psychic Blast powers have long ranges, and few living beings can resist their effects. Creatures without minds, like machines and robots, are all but immune.
