Overview
Claws is a Melee Primary power set, though it does contain one Ranged attack. Scrappers in City of Heroes, and Brutes and Stalkers, in City of Villains, have access to Claws.
Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other Stalker or Scrapper melee sets. Like all Stalker primary attack powers, Claw attacks can land a Critical Hit for double damage, if you are properly Hidden or if your target is Slept or Held. Like all scrapper powers, all Claw attacks can sometimes land a critical hit for double damage.
Possible Claws Weapon Customizations.
