Powers

Gadgets Caltrops.png Caltrops

You toss a handful of Caltrops at a targeted location and spread the tiny metal spikes over a large area. Any villains that pass over the Caltrops will be forced to move at a slower rate. They will also take some trivial Lethal damage over time.

Gadgets Cloak.png Field Operative

Through a mixture of combat training and highly sophisticated devices you are considered a Field Operative. You use a LCD body coating to become partially invisible. While concealed you can only be seen at very close range. If you attack while concealed, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see but will retain some of your Defense bonus to all attacks. Unlike some stealth powers, Field Operative has no movement penalty. This power's stealth component will not work with any other form of Concealment power such as Shadow Fall or Steamy Mist. In addition to being stealthy, your training also allows you to regenerate health and recover endurance at an accelerated rate while this power is active. However, only half of this regeneration bonus is enhanceable.

Gadgets Turret.png Gun Drone

You can summon a Gun Drone. The Drone has an extremely fast fire rate and is equipped with a customized tracking system. Once locked on, the Drone will continue to unload a volley of lead into the target until it is destroyed. Enemies hit by the drone, as well as those near it, will prioritize attacking it over it's owner. The Drone is armored, but can be destroyed.

Gadgets SmokeGrenade.png Smoke Grenade

The Smoke Grenade envelops all those in the affected area in a cloud of smoke. Most villains will not be able to see past normal melee range, although some may have better perception. If the villains are attacked, they will be alerted to your presence, but will suffer a penalty to their chance to hit.

Gadgets TargetingDrone.png Targeting Drone

When this device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit, slightly increase the damage you deal, and increase your perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. If not engaged in combat, this power will give a large damage buff to your opening attack. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that debuff your chance to hit.
