'''Willpower''' is a Resistance power set that was added in [[Issue 11]]. It is a primary power set for [[Tanker]]s and a secondary power set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s. A video of this set in action is available from the [http://www.cityofheroes.com/media_and_downloads/videos/videos.html Official movie page].
'''Willpower''' is one of the standard power sets. It is a primary power set for [[Tanker]]s and a secondary power set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s.


Willpower relies heavily on passive powers, with little in the way of flashy animations, to represent the stereotypical "tough guy." The set offers decent resistance to smashing, lethal, psi and toxic damage, as well as poor resistance but decent defense to fire, cold, energy and negative energy. The set also offers a taunt aura called "Rise to the Challenge" that raises regeneration for every enemy in melee.
"You aren't Invulnerable. Bullets don't bounce off of you, and if you are cut, you bleed. You are, however, tough, grizzled and strong willed. It takes more than a little cut to keep you down! Willpower offers a strong balance of healing, damage resistance and defense. While you have no real vulnerabilities, you can't quite deal with 'alpha strikes' as well as some other protective powers."
