Kinetics

Edit

Overview[]

You are a master at manipulating and transferring kinetic energy. You can manipulate the potential energy found in objects to aid your allies or weaken your foes. Kinetics is a primary powerset for Defenders and a secondary powerset for Controllers and Corruptors.

Power Tables[]

The Kinetics powerset is available as a primary set for Defenders, and as a secondary set for Corruptors and Controllers. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Power Level as Primary Level as Secondary Effect

Powers[]

The following are powers in the Kinetics powerset.

KineticBoost KineticTransfer Fulcrum Shift[]

Fulcrum shift drains the power of a targeted foe and all foes nearby, transferring it to all adjacent allies, the caster, and those near the caster. 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 melee battle.

KineticBoost IncreaseDensity 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.
