Water Blast

The features discussed here may be implemented in future issues and are subject to change before release.

Overview

Water Blast is a primary Power Set for Blasters and Corruptors and a secondary Power Set for Defenders.

Water Blast grants you command over the power of water. This can be used to weaken and crush your foes with all the power of a tidal wave. Some Water Blast powers allow the user to build Tidal Power, while others consume Tidal Power. You can have 3 stacks of Tidal Power on yourself at a time. Your Tidal Power can be released to strengthen your Water Spout, Water Jet and Geyser powers. Using these powers will remove some or all of your Tidal Power.
