The Incarnate Boosts give their components to every power that a character has that can utilize it. For instance, if a character has a boost that reduces endurance costs, every power that takes endurance to use would be decreased (almost every single power a character has access to). If a character has a boost that increases Fear duration, [[Dark Melee#Touch of Fear|Touch of Fear]] would be increased, but [[Energy Blast#Power Bolt|Power Bolt]] would not, since it does not have a Fear component.

Overview

Incarnate Alpha Blank.png The Alpha Slot is the first "level" of the Incarnate System, which launches with Issue 19, and requires a Going Rogue retail code to utilize.

The Alpha Slot was initially supposed to launch with Going Rogue, but beta feedback said without content to play with the Alpha Slot, the system felt incomplete, so it was pushed back[1].

Power Boosts

The Incarnate Boosts give their enhancement aspects to every power that a character has that can utilize it. For instance, if a character has a boost that reduces endurance costs, every power that takes endurance to use would be decreased (almost every single power a character has access to). If a character has a boost that increases Fear duration, Touch of Fear would be increased, but Power Bolt would not, since it does not have Fear.

Powers can be boosted by more than one aspect if they are applicable; Electric Fence can benefit from Musculature's Alpha Slot primary aspect, Damage, and also the Immobilize and Endurance Modification aspects.

Boosts come in four rarity levels. The higher the rarity level, the more materials are needed to create them. Materials to create them are gathered through defeating enemies, Task Forces/Strike Forces, and most other activities.

Part of the bonuses given by Incarnate System slotted boosts will bypass Enhancement Diversification, even if a character's power is slotted to the final threshold. Depending on rarity, boosts will bypass ED with anywhere from one-sixth to two-thirds of the boost.

To calculate the total enhancement value use the following method:

  1. Add up the values of all enhancements in the power plus the portion of the Alpha Enhancement that is affected by ED.
  2. Apply ED to this value.
  3. Add the portion of the Alpha Enhancement that is not affected by ED for the total enhancement value.

Examples

Example 1: A character's power slotted with three Recharge Single-Origin Enhancements will have 99.9% increased attack rate pre-ED which becomes approximately 94.9% once ED is applied without the Alpha Slot.

  • Slotting a common Spiritual Alpha Slot boost (33% increased attack rate) ignores ED for 1⁄6 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 5⁄6. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 99.9% + 5⁄6 * 33% = 127.4% which after ED is approximately 99.1%. The remaining 1⁄6 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 99.1% + 1⁄6 * 33% = 104.6%
  • Slotting a very rare Spiritual Alpha Slot boost (45% attack rate, stun, and healing) ignores ED for 2⁄3 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 1⁄3. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 99.9% + 1⁄3 * 45% = 114.9% which after ED is approximately 97.2%. The remaining 2⁄3 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 97.2% + 2⁄3 * 45% = 127.2%

Example 2: A character's power slotted with 2 Recharge Single-Origin Enhancements will have 66.6% increased attack rate which since it is less than 70% is not affected by ED so remains at 66.6%.

  • Slotting a common Spiritual Alpha Slot boost (33% increased attack rate) ignores ED for 1⁄6 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 5⁄6. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 66.6% + 5⁄6 * 33% = 94.1% which, since it is greater than 70% is affected by ED resulting in approximately 90.9% post-ED. The remaining 1⁄6 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 90.9% + 1⁄6 * 33% = 96.4%
  • Slotting a very rare Spiritual Alpha Slot boost (45% attack rate, stun, and healing) ignores ED for 2⁄3 of its effects but ED is still applied to the remaining 1⁄3. The power therefore has a total ED affected enhancement value of 66.6% + 1⁄3 * 45% = 81.6% which, since it is greater than 70% is affected by ED resulting in approximately 80.4% post-ED. The remaining 2⁄3 of the Alpha Slot's enhancement is added to this giving a final enhancement value of 80.4% + 2⁄3 * 45% = 110.4%
