=== [[File:PlantControl CarrionCreeper.png]] Carrion Creepers ===

You can create a Creeper patch at a targeted location. The patch will snag foes, slowing their movement, and preventing them from jumping or flying. Additionally, a Creeper Vine will burst from under each live and defeated foe in the area and start attacking your enemies. Creeper Vines do minimal damage, but they can knock down your enemies and its poisonous thorns can slow your foes. Any foes that are defeated in the Creeper patch will also produce a growth of Entangle Roots that will Immobilize any enemies near the defeated foe.
  
The following are powers in the Plant Control powerset.
+
{{EdNote|note='''Carrion Creepers''' summons a [[Pseudopet]], referred to by the power tooltip text as '''Creepers''', which is invisible, untargetable, has a 2 minute duration, and follows you via the ground with limited jumping ability (it cannot fly). The '''Creepers''' entity summons '''Carrion Creeper Patch''' and '''Carrion Creeper Vine''' pets, which are the visible entities that appear in the game. The power hierarchy of these pets is detailed below.}}

Immobilizes your target by Entangling their feet in a twisted mass of thorny roots. The roots do smashing and lethal damage to the target over time.

You can summon a giant carnivorous Fly Trap plant beast. Fly Trap may be an understatement, as this plant beast has a taste for flesh. The Fly Trap will viciously attack any nearby foes; biting, hurling poisonous Thorns, and even casting its own Entangle Roots. The Fly Trap will fight by your side and can be healed and buffed like any teammate.

{{EdNote|note=The Venus Fly Trap is highly resistant to Smashing, Cold, Energy, Negative, Toxic, and Psionic Damage. It also has a high defense to Psionic Attacks. It is, however unprotected from Fire and Lethal Damage. Its tendency to regrow quickly when damaged also grants it a boosted regeneration rate.}}

Foes that come into contact with these seeds become violently confused and will turn and attack each other, ignoring you and all your allies. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated entirely by Confused enemies.

* [[Plant Control#Carrion Creepers|Carrion Creepers]] originally did not properly use slotted enhancements with exception of Recharge.  This meant Carrion Creepers' accuracy, damage and slow did not increase despite any slotted enhancements. This was fixed in [[Issue 14]].

Overview

Plant Control is a standard power set that is a primary set for Controllers and Dominators.

"You can call forth and control the power of plants and flora to control your foes. Animate and control vines, roots and spores to entrap, entwine and utterly dominate your foes. Many Plant Control powers are only effective if the target is near the ground."

Power Table

The Plant Control power set is available as a primary set for Controllers and Dominators. The following table shows the level at which each power is available:

Powers

PlantControl CarrionCreeper.png Carrion Creepers

You can create a Creeper patch at a targeted location. The patch will snag foes, slowing their movement, and preventing them from jumping or flying. Additionally, a Creeper Vine will burst from under each live and defeated foe in the area and start attacking your enemies. Creeper Vines do minimal damage, but they can knock down your enemies and its poisonous thorns can slow your foes. Any foes that are defeated in the Creeper patch will also produce a growth of Entangle Roots that will Immobilize any enemies near the defeated foe.

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

Carrion Creepers summons a Pseudopet, referred to by the power tooltip text as Creepers, which is invisible, untargetable, has a 2 minute duration, and follows you via the ground with limited jumping ability (it cannot fly). The Creepers entity summons Carrion Creeper Patch and Carrion Creeper Vine pets, which are the visible entities that appear in the game. The power hierarchy of these pets is detailed below.

PlantControl Entangle.png Entangle

Immobilizes your target by Entangling their feet in a twisted mass of thorny roots. The roots do smashing and lethal damage to the target over time. More resilient foes may require multiple applications to Immobilize. Entangle can immobilize flying targets, if they are near the ground when attacked.

PlantControl VenusFlytrap.png Fly Trap

You can summon a giant carnivorous Fly Trap plant beast. Fly Trap may be an understatement, as this plant beast has a taste for flesh. The Fly Trap will viciously attack any nearby foes; biting, hurling poisonous Thorns, and even casting its own Entangle Roots. The Fly Trap will fight by your side and can be healed and buffed like any teammate.

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

The Venus Fly Trap is highly resistant to Smashing, Cold, Energy, Negative, Toxic, and Psionic Damage. It also has a high defense to Psionic Attacks. It is, however unprotected from Fire and Lethal Damage. Its tendency to regrow quickly when damaged also grants it a boosted regeneration rate.

You throw a handful of seeds from a rare Baffle plant at your foes. The seeds spread out in a wide cone and release a dusty chaff that contain a number of alkaloids and hallucinogenic compounds. Foes that come into contact with these seeds become violently confused and will turn and attack each other, ignoring you and all your allies. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated entirely by Confused enemies.

Historical

Badge time.png This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.
  • This set was added to the game with the original release of Dominators in Issue 6.
  • This set was proliferated to Controllers in Issue 12.
  • Carrion Creepers originally did not properly use slotted enhancements with exception of Recharge. This meant Carrion Creepers' accuracy, damage and slow did not increase despite any slotted enhancements. This was fixed in Issue 14.
