Arachnos Soldier
This article is about the Epic Archetype. For the powerset, see Arachnos Soldier (Powerset).
Overview
Characters with Arachnos Soldier training begin their careers as Wolf Spiders. Wolf Spider characters have a strong mix of Melee and Ranged attacks and strong protective powers available via their power armor. Beginning at level 24, the player has to choose whether he will progress down the "Crab Spider" or "Bane Spider" path. Crab Spiders gain access to the "backpack" and the powerful claw/cone attacks it provides, while the Bane Spider track provides stealth and a stronger focus on melee.
Arachnos Soldiers, along with Arachnos Widows, are one of the two Epic Archetypes for Villains, only available to players who have reached Level 50 with at least one Villain. All Arachnos Soldiers are of Natural origin.
Alignment: Villain
The Arachnos Soldier's powersets are:
Primary: Soldiers
Secondary: Gadgets
The Arachnos Soldier has medium Hit Points and does medium damage.
Career Tracks
Initially, the Arachnos Soldier only has access to one primary and one secondary powerset. At level 24, the other two of each become available and the character is required to Respec. At that time, all six of the Arachnos Soldier's powersets will be available and he can choose from any of them starting at level 1. However, once a power from the Crab Spider or Bane Spider tracks is selected, the other track's powersets become unavailable.
Career track selection is not permanenet, however. A Respec will allow an Arachnos Soldier to select from the other track instead if he so desires.
