Super Reflexes is one of the powersets. It is a Tanker primary powerset and a Scrapper and Sentinel secondary powerset in City of Heroes, a Stalker secondary powerset in City of Villains, and as of Issue 12 a Brute secondary powerset in City of Villains.
Your Super Reflexes and acute senses allow you to react deftly to avoid danger. Regardless of what comes at you, Super Reflexes simply allow you to avoid the attack. The type of weapon or attack used against you is irrelevant. So swords, bullets, fire, energy, even psionic attacks can be avoided. Super Reflexes focuses on different techniques. Avoiding melee attacks is different than avoiding ranged attacks or even area-of-effect attacks. Your weakness is your opponents accuracy.
Power Tables[]
Tanker/Brute[]
The Super Reflexes powerset is available as a primary set for Tankers. As of Issue 12, the Super Reflexes powerset is available as a secondary set for Brutes. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:
The following are powers in the Super Reflexes powerset.
Agile[]
You become innately more Agile, and are able to naturally avoid some ranged attacks and resist Defense Debuffs. Your Agility also grants you minor Damage Resistance to all damage except Toxic and Psionic. This Damage Resistance is only available as you lose Health but it improves as your HP declines. This power is always on, and will permanently increase your Defense versus ranged attacks.
You have the ability to innately Dodge some melee attacks and you resist Defense Debuffs. Dodge also grants you minor Damage Resistance to all damage except Toxic and Psionic. This Damage Resistance is only available as you lose Health but it improves as your HP declines. This power is always on, and will permanently increase your Defense versus melee attacks.
You can improve your reflexes, making yourself so quick you can Elude almost any attack, be it ranged, melee, or area of effect. Your running speed and jumping height and Endurance Recovery are also increased. Elude also grants you high resistance to Defense Debuffs. When Elude wears off, you are left drained of all Endurance and unable to Recover Endurance for a while.
You become innately more Enduring, and are able to make your endurance last longer in battle. You also manage to avoid some psionic attacks and resist Defense DeBuffs. Your Enduring determination also grants you minor Damage Resistance to all damage except Toxic and Psionic. This Damage Resistance is only available as you lost Health but it improves as your HP declines. This power is always on, and will permanently increase your endurance recovery and Defense versus psionic attacks.
You are Evasive against area of effect and cone shaped attacks. This power increases your Defense versus such attacks as long as it is active. Evasion also helps you resist Defense Debuffs.
You become more evasive to melee attacks while you have Focused Fighting activated. This will increase your Defense verses melee as long as it is active. Your focus also offers you resistance to Confuse effects and Debuffs to Defense.
You become more evasive against ranged attacks while you have Focused Senses activated. This will increase your Defense versus ranged attacks as long as it is active. Your improved senses also allow you to perceive stealthy foes as well as resist Defense Debuffs.
Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off Critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassin's Strike' with an Assassin's power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. Very low Endurance cost.
Your superior reflexes make you seem incredibly Lucky. Lucky improves your Defense to Area of Effect attacks and grants you resistance to Defense Debuffs. Lucky also grants you minor Damage Resistance to all damage except Toxic and Psionic. This Damage Resistance is only available as you lose Health but it improves as your HP declines. This power is always on, and permanently increases your chance to evade area of effects and cone shaped attacks.
You are a master brawler, as such you have learned when its best to block an attack and absorb damage the most effectively. Using this power when you have the highest amount of endurance but the lowest amount of health will result in the most powerful effect possible. Owning this power will also improve your Focused Fighting and Focused Senses abilities. This power can not be taken if you take Practiced Brawler.
Your training has allowed you to become a Practiced Brawler, tuning you into a perfect fighting machine. You gain a resistance to Knockback, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, and Immobilization powers for a short duration. This power cannot be taken if you take Master Brawler.
Your Quick reflexes allow you to move faster than normal, as well as resist slow effects. This power is always on and permanently increases your attack rate and movement speed.
Note: The increase in movement speed includes flight speed.
