Special enemies in the game appear when Kheldians are on the team. Depending on team size, various [[Nictus]] and [[Void Hunters]] may spawn in addition to any groups of spawned enemies; both in and out of missions. The Void Hunters are highly resistant to Kheldian damage and have a special weapon, [[Quantum Array Gun]], that deals a considerable amount of additional damage to Kheldian players. If the team size is large enough, one or more [[Nictus#Shadow Cyst Crystal|Shadow Cyst Crystal]] may spawn in a mission. These are known for being difficult to dispatch, and pose a good deal of danger to the entire team.
When a Kheldian is in a mission, either solo or on a team, an enemy from the spawn group will occasionally spawn wielding a [[Quantum Array Gun]] and have "Quantum" in their name. This enemy's attack deals a considerable amount of additional damage to Kheldian players especially when lacking significant Negative Energy resistance. Team/spawn size will determine the rank of the Quantum enemy from [[Minion]] to [[Boss]].


Once a Kheldian joins a team, the team is "flagged" for special Kheldian-related spawns. Even if all Kheldians leave the team, the team will continue to see Nictus and Void Hunters in addition to any normal spawns they would have seen otherwise. The only way to "de-flag" a character is to log off.

Overview

Peacebringers, along with Warshades, are one of the two Epic Archetypes for Heroes. They are available to all players, but do not get any tutorial offered at character creation, so may be unsuitable for novices.

Peacebringers are formed from the fusion of an alien energy being called a Kheldian and a willing host. While Peacebringers take more damage from most attacks, they make up for this weakness with solid Hit Points, a good variety of Energy attack powers and strong defensive powers, inherent Flight, and eventually even gain access to two shape-shift forms. Peacebringers become stronger when teamed with non-Kheldian heroes, gaining bonuses to their own powers based on the archetypes of their teammates.

Power Sets

Peacebringers only have access to one Primary and one Secondary power set. They also have no Ancillary Power Pools or Patron Power Pools, but they make up for this in the number and variety of powers in their Primary and Secondary.

Primary Power Set

A Peacebringer's primary power set is designed specifically for offense. It is:

Secondary Power Set

A Peacebringer's secondary power set is designed for defense. It is:

Inherent Powers

Quantum Enemies

When a Kheldian is in a mission, either solo or on a team, an enemy from the spawn group will occasionally spawn wielding a Quantum Array Gun and have "Quantum" in their name. This enemy's attack deals a considerable amount of additional damage to Kheldian players especially when lacking significant Negative Energy resistance. Team/spawn size will determine the rank of the Quantum enemy from Minion to Boss.

Once a Kheldian joins a team, the team is "flagged" for these special Kheldian-related spawns and the entire team must disband to "de-flag" themselves. Even if all Kheldians leave the team, the team will continue to see Quantum enemies in addition to any normal spawns they would have seen otherwise.

Historical

This section contains information about changes that took place in Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

  • Peacebringers and Warshades were added to the game in Issue 3.
  • The special damage to Kheldians from Quantum Array Gun was originally untyped and irresistable, but has since been changed to Negative Energy damage.
  • Kheldians were buffed in Issue 13. They gained the ability to shift into Dwarf form while mezzed, had their Damage Scale increased, gained Slow resistance for each Epic Archetype on the team and Cosmic Balance and Dark Sustenance remain active while shapeshifted.
  • Prior to Issue 17, Peacebringers and Warshades, along with their villain equivalents, Arachnos Soldiers and Arachnos Widows, were unlocked at level 50.
  • After Issue 17 and prior to Issue 21, Peacebringers and Warshades, along with their villain equivalents, Arachnos Soldiers and Arachnos Widows, were unlocked at level 20.
  • Unlock requirements for Peacebringers and Warshades were removed, access to other powers in shapeshift form was adjusted, and Power Customization was enabled for them in Issue 25.
  • Void Hunters were an enemy group that could spawn as a special enemy like the Quantum named mobs, but now appear to no longer spawn in regular missions, appearing only if a specific missions calls for them.
  • If the team size was large enough, one or more Shadow Cyst Crystal could also spawn in a mission as a kheldian-related special enemy. These were known for being difficult to dispatch, and posed a good deal of danger to the entire team. These too were removed at some point in regular missions as a special spawn and now only spawn in specific missions.
