Water Blast

 

Water Blast is a ranged powerset available to blasters, defenders, and corruptors on accounts that have purchased it from the Paragon Market for 800 Paragon Points.

Description

Water Blast powers generate or use up stacks of Tidal Power.

Water Blast grants you command over the power of water. This can be used to weaken and crush your foes with all the power of a tidal wave. Some Water Blast powers allow the user to build Tidal Power, while others consume Tidal Power. You can have 3 stacks of Tidal Power on yourself at a time. Your Tidal Power can be released to strengthen your Water Burst, Water Jet, Dehydrate and Geyser powers. Using these powers will remove all of your Tidal Power.
