Peacebringers, along with [[Warshade]]s, 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.

== Nictus and Void Hunters ==
== Quantum Enemies ==
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.

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.
