Overview

Enhancements are permanent boosts to powers.

• There are four main types of enhancements:

1. Training
2. Dual-Origin
3. Single-Origin
4. Special

• Training and Special enhancements are usable by any characters. Dual-Origin and Single-Origin enhancements are only usable by characters of specific origins.

• There are 26 different Aspects which can be enhanced, such as Accuracy, Damage, and Recharge.
  • Each Aspect is categorized under 'Schedules', depending on their boost.
• Enchancments that match the same Type and Aspect can be combined to form one enchancement that has a slightly larger boost.

Enhancement Types

Training

TO

• Useable by any character.
• Purchasable and dropped at all levels.

Dual-Origin

DO

• Useable only by characters who match one of the two origins.
• Purchasable at level 15 (useable by level 12's). Possible to drop at lower levels, though unlikely.
• Can be combined with other DO's as long as one of the origins match the character's origin.
  • EXAMPLE: Science character. Can use Tech/Sci and Mut/Sci. Can combine Tech/Sci and Mut/Sci, can also conbine Tech/Sci and Tech/Sci. Cannot combine Tech/Sci and Nat/Tech.

Single-Origin

SO

• Useable only by characters matching its origin.
• Purchasable at level 25 (useable by level 22's). Possible to drop at lower levels, usually through a Task/Strike Force or Trial. Still unlikely
• Can only be combined with enhancements matching its origin

Special Types

NOTE: Currently only accessible to Hero characters

• Enhances 2 or more aspects. Boost varies by type.
• Useable by any character.
• Can only be combined with other Special Types that enhance the same aspects
  • EXAMPLE:
    • Hammy Centriole Exposure (Damage/Range).
    • Titan Diamond Shard (Accuracy/Damage).
    • Hammy Nucleolus Exposure (Accuracy/Damage).
    • Centriole can be placed in any power that does damage and/or has a range aspect. Can be placed in brawl, but will not increase melee range. A better choice would be the Nucleoulus.
  • The Diamond Shard and the Nucleolus can be combined.
  • Centriole and Diamond Shard cannot be combined.
