Overview
Several player and critter characteristics are restricted to certain limits. Buffs or debuffs beyond those points produce no additional effects, although they will work to offset later powers trying to apply the opposite effect.
Damage Resistance
Maximum
Maximum total Resistance for players is different for each Archetype.
| Archetype | Maximum Resistance |
|---|---|
| Tanker, Brute | 90% |
| Peacebringer, Warshade | 85% |
| all others | 75% |
Most critters have a maximum Resistance of 90%. The following are exceptions and have a maximum of 100%:
- Giant Monsters
- Heroes/Archvillains
- the Hamidon and its Mitochondria
- Rularuu Bosses (may reach 200%)
- anything that needs to be immune to all or most types of damage, such as practice Rikti Drones in Outbreak (invulnerable), Oil Slicks (vulnerable to fire and energy only), fires in the Hellion Arson zone event (vulnerable to cold and extinguishers only), etc.
Minimum
Players and critters have a minimum Resistance of -300%.
Status Effect Resistance
Maximum
Players and critters have maximum status effect Resistances of +100%, which cuts duration to 1/2 of normal.
Minimum
Players and critters apparently have hard minimum status effect Resistances of -300%. The effective minimum, however, is +0%, since there are no ways to debuff status effect Resistances. This is good, since the game's formulas would produce infinite status durations at -100% Resistance, and negative times below that.
Status Effect Protection
There is no practical upper limit to how much magnitude protection a player or critter can have to status effects.
Damage Buffs
Maximum
Maximum total Damage for players depends on Archetype and (usually) level.
| Archetype | Maximum Damage |
|---|---|
| Brute | 850% |
| Blaster, Scrapper | 210% at level 1 – 500% at level 21+ |
| all others | 200% at level 1 – 400% at level 21+ |
Notes:
- Attacks do 100% damage to start with (i.e. base, or 1x normal), not 0%. The amount of Damage bonus needed to reach the cap is 100 less than the cap itself.
- These maximums apply only to effects that increase the amount of damage an attack delivers. Reductions to an enemy's Resistances can cause that enemy to suffer damage beyond these maximums. So can effects that cause attacks to deliver damage more than once, such as Containment, Scourge, and Critical Hit.
Minimum
Players and critters have a minimum damage of 10%.
Defense/ToHit
This section is largely academic. No attack can have less than a 5% or more than a 95% chance of hitting. So although there are limits to how far a player's or critter's ToHit and Defense can be adjusted, these adjustments almost always drive the final chance of hitting to one of its own limits before the cap on total buffs/debuffs is reached.
Maximum Defense
Maximum total Defense for players depends on Archetype and level.
| Archetype | Maximum Defense |
|---|---|
| Brute, Tanker | +100.43% at level 1 – +225.05% at level 21+ |
| Peacebringer, Scrapper, Stalker, Warshade | +97.76% at level 1 – +200.38% at level 21+ |
| Blaster, Controller, Corruptor, Defender, Dominator, Mastermind | +95.00% at level 1 – +175.00% at level 21+ |
Maximum total Defense for critters depends on rank and level.
| Critter Rank | Maximum Defense |
|---|---|
| Minion | +24.06% at level 1 – +77.37% at level 21+ |
| Lieutenant, Sniper | +90.25% at level 1 – +131.25% at level 21+ |
| Boss, Elite Boss, AV/Hero, Pet | +95.00% at level 1 – +175.00% at level 21+ |
Minimum Defense
Players and critters have a minimum Defense of -100%.
Maximum ToHit
All players and critters have a maximum ToHit that varies from +95% at level 1 to +200.35% at level 50 (and, for critters, up to +211.10% at level 55). Counting against these maximums, however, is the innate +75% that all players get and the +50% that all critters get as part of the game's internal basic attack mechanics.
Minimum ToHit
Players and critters have a minimum ToHit of -100%.
Recharge Rate
Maximum
Players and critters have a maximum recharge rate bonus of +400%, which cuts recharge time to 1/5th of normal.
Minimum
Players and critters have a maximum recharge rate penalty of -75%, which increases recharge time to 4x normal.
Movement Speed
Maximum
There are hard limits to maximum run, flight, and jump speeds. See Travel Powers for more info.
Minimum
Players and critters have maximum run, flight, and jumpspeed penalties of -90%.
Health Regeneration
Maximum
Maximum total Regeneration for players depends on Archetype and (usually) level.
| Archetype | Regeneration |
|---|---|
| Scrapper, Stalker | 2,200% at level 1 – 3,000% at level 20+ |
| Brute, Tanker | 2,100% at level 1 – 2,500% at level 20+ |
| all others | 2,000% |
Maximum total Regeneration for critters depends on rank and (usually) level.
| Critter Rank | Maximum Defense |
|---|---|
| Minion | 506.64% at level 1 – 884.20% at level 10+ |
| Lieutenant, Sniper | 1,900% at level 1 – 1,500% at level 20+ (yes, it decreases) |
| Boss, Elite Boss, AV/Hero, Giant Monster | 2,000% |
Minimum
Players and critters have a minimum Regeneration of 0%. It is not possible to cause something to lose health by debuffing its Regeneration to a negative value.
Endurance Recovery
Maximum
?
Minimum
Players and critters have a minimum Recovery of 0%. It is not possible to cause something to lose endurance by debuffing its Recovery to a negative value.
Stealth and Perception
Base Perception for all players is 500 feet. Base PvP Stealth and PvE Stealth are 0.
Maximum
Maximum total Stealth and Perception for players depend mainly on level, with Stalkers having higher Stealth caps.
| Attribute | PvP Maximum | PvE Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Stalker Stealth | 480 at level 1 – 1143 at level 50 | 49.5 at level 1 – 300 at level 50 |
| other ATs Stealth | 400 at level 1 – 571.5 at level 50 | 45 at level 1 – 200 at level 50 |
| all ATs, Perception | 490 at level 1 – 1153 at level 50 | |
Minimum
Players have a minimum Perception of 0 and a minimum Stealth of -180.
Influence/Infamy
A character's inventory for influence/infamy is capped at 2 billion. It will continue to be earned after that point, but it won't be added to your inventory. (Thus, you can continue making progress towards the inf badges even if you don't have room for it.)
