Energy Aura

Overview

Energy Aura is one of the powersets. It is a Brute and Stalker secondary power set in City of Villains.

You can surround yourself in powerful defensive Energy Auras that can deflect your foes attacks. Like other defensive power, Energy Aura power do not reduce the damage you take, but rather reduce your chance of getting hit by deflecting your foes attacks.

Energy Cloak

The Energy Cloak bends light around you so you become partially invisible. While Cloaked you can only be seen at very close range. If you attack while Cloaked, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you still maintain a Defense bonus to all attacks. Unlike some stealth powers, the Energy Cloak has no movement penalty. The Energy Cloak will not work with any other form of Concealment powers.

When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. Very low Endurance cost.
