Overview

Inherent powers are permanent powers that a hero or villain automatically has without having to train to obtain. The two main types of inherent powers are powers that are specific to an archetype and powers that all heroes have.

Archetype-Specific Powers

The following are inherent powers are specific to the archetypes available in City of Heroes and City of Villains.

InherentPeacebringer CombatFlight.png Combat Flight

For hovering and aerial combat. This power is much slower than Energy Flight, but provides some Defense, offers good air control, costs little Endurance, and has none of the penalties associated with Energy Flight. Switch to this mode when fighting other flying foes.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Peacebringers)
Effects:        Self: Fly, + Defense


Inherent BlasterDesperation.png Containment

Controllers are the masters at locking down and controlling their opponents. Few can escape their will. Controllers do extra damage to any target that is already Held, Immobilized, Slept, or Disoriented.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Controllers)
Effects:        Self: Critical Damage (Special)

InherentPeacebringer InterSpacialLink.png Cosmic Balance

Kheldians naturally thrive off the energy and essence of their teammates. Peacebringers' metamorphic nature allows them to bring balance to their team. Your Damage will increase for each nearby Tanker or Defender teammate. Your Damage Resistance will increase for each nearby Scrapper or Blaster teammate. Finally each nearby Controller teammate will grant you limited Protection from Control effects. You cannot put Enhacements in this power.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Peacebringers)
Effects:        Auto: Special

Inherent BlasterDesperation.png Critical Hit

The Scrapper is a fierce melee combatant. In hand to hand, no other hero can compare. All Scrapper melee attacks have a chance to land a Critical Hit for up to Double Damage. The higher the rank of the target, the greater the chance for a successful Critical Hit.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Scrappers)
Effects:        Critical Damage

InherentPeacebringer InterSpacialLink.png Dark Sustenance

Kheldians naturally thrive off the energy and essence of their teammates. Warshades' absorbing nature allows them to draw on the power of their teammates' power to increase their own. Your Damage Resistance will increase for each nearby Tanker or Defender teammate. Your Damage will increase for each nearby Scrapper or Blaster teammate. Finally each nearby Controller teammate will grant you limited Protection from Control effects. You cannot put Enhacements in this power.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Warshades)
Effects:        Auto: Special

Inherent BlasterDesperation.png Defiance

As a Blaster loses health, he begins to unleash his true power in a last ditch display of Defiance. The less health he has, the more damage he deals, and the more accurate his attacks become.

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Blasters)
Effects:        Special: Self, +Damage, +Accuracy

Inherent BuffEffects.png Domination

Nothing delights a Dominator more than inflicting pain. Once a Dominator attacks, his sadistic nature grows. When your Domination bar is over 90% you can activate this power to unleash his true potential. Your control powers will typically last 50% longer and will more easily Dominate stronger opponents. Additionally, you will fully recharge your Endurance and increase the damage to all your attacks. Recharge: very long.

Effects:        Self: Critical Control

Effects:        Self: +Damage (Special)

Inherent BlasterDesperation.png Gauntlet

Although many try, few can withstand the irresistible force of the Tanker. Each time a Tanker attacks, he enrages the target, and those around him, enticing them to attack the Tanker. Each punch continues to provoke your enemies and allows the Tanker to do what he does best.

This power is also referred to as "Punch-voke".

Type:           Archetype-Specific (Tankers)
Effects:        Taunt

Inherent BlasterDesperation.png Scourge

The Corruptor is a dastardly villain indeed. As a Corruptor's foe health wanes, the Corruptor can start to land Scourge hits with his attack powers for up to double damage. The weaker the target is, the greater chance the Corruptor has of landing Scourge. Once a foe is weak enough, ther is no escaping the Corruptors wrath. The Corruptor shows no mercy.

Effects:        Critical Damage

InherentPeacebringer InterSpacialLink.png Vigilance

The Defender primary focus is to protect the team. When his allies are in danger, the Defender is able to look deep within him or herself and rise to the occasion. As a Defender's teammates are in danger of being defeated, the Defender gains an endurance discount and can activate their powers at a reduced cost. The more teammates in trouble, the greater the discount.
