Leadership is a power pool accessible to all Archetypes.

Good leaders are rare. These powers can grant bonuses to your and your teammates.

A good leader knows how to protect his team. While active, this power increases the Defense of yourself and all nearby teammates to all attacks.

Leadership Tactics.png Tactics

While this power is active, your chance to hit and that of all your nearby teammates is increased. Your advanced Tactics also protect you and your team from Confuse and Fear effects, as well as your Perception so you can detect Stealthy foes. Purchasing Tactics requires the user to be level 14 and possess Maneuvers or Assault.

Leadership Vengence.png Vengeance

The loss of a comrade enrages the team. When a teammate is defeated in combat, activate this power to grant you and your teammates a bonus to chance to hit, Damage and Defense to all attacks. A Vengeful team has no fear, and Vengeance protects you and your Teammates from Fear effects. It also gives you and your team great resistance to Sleep, Hold, Disorient, Immobilize, Confuse, Taunt, Placate and Knockback. You must be at least level 14 and have two other Leadership powers before selecting Vengeance. This power does not stack with multiple castings.

Vengeance cannot target defeated pets. Vengeance is unique in that its buffs will not apply to a character who already has a Vengeance buff active from a different character. (Its heal is not a buff and always applies.) You can, however, have multiple Vengeance buffs trigger simultaneously - if a defeated team mate is Recalled and multiple players have Vengeance queued to trigger, all of the multiple Vengeance buffs will stack. This is often used in Lord Recluse's Strike Force and Statesman's Task Force to provide a suitable buff to damage to take out multiple concurrent Heroes/AVs.

Leadership VictoryRush.png Victory Rush

The defeat of an opponent gives your team a rush of adrenaline. The excitement of your victory increases the recovery and reduces the endurance cost of your powers. This effect extends to your teammates as well. The total strength of this bonus is dependent upon the rank of the enemy on which this is cast, with Archvillains and Giant Monsters providing the greatest benefit. This power does not stack with multiple castings. You must be level 14 and have trained at least two other Leadership powers before you can train Victory Rush. This power's Recharge Time cannot be reduced.

Archetype Differences

As with many pools, the effects of the different Leadership powers vary in strength depending on the Archetype of the character using them. The Leadership pool has more variance than any other pool, though, especially for Vengeance.

Historical

Badge time.png This section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.
  • Issue 21 reduced the first two powers (Assault and Maneuvers) from level 6, to each unlocking at level 4. The third power (Tactics) still requires level 14 and a single power prerequisite. Issue 21 also reduced the fourth power (Vengeance) to level 14, though it still requires two power prerequisites.
  • Issue 24 added the Victory Rush power.
