Overview
Inspirations are single-use temporary boosts. There are several different inspiration types that provide various ability increases.
Inspiration Slots
A character starts with three inspiration slots at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40. The progression is below:
- Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)
- Level 2: 4 slots (1 row of 4 columns)
- Level 3: 8 slots (2 rows of 4 columns)
- Level 10: 10 slots (2 rows of 5 columns)
- Level 25: 15 slots (3 rows of 5 columns)
- Level 40: 20 slots (4 rows of 5 columns)
By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively. It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.
For example, a player may always place healing inspirations (Respite, Dramatic Improvement, and Resurgence) into the first row. In an intense battle, the player can then simply press F1 on his or her keyboard to use a healing inspiration instead of moving the mouse pointer away from the battle to the inspiration tray. If a player has more than one healing inspiration in the first row, he or she can quickly press F1 again to use another inspiration if needed.

Obtaining Inspirations
For villains, remove this sentence when a hero corrects:
Shopping
You may only buy first level inspirations (first in each group of three above). Most inspirations cost 50 Infamy/Influence; Awakens cost 250. You can buy all the different types from most of your contacts. The shopkeepers in the Arena sell all first level inspirations except resurections.
A Super Group base may have an inspiration dispenser, which can sell Respites, Catch a Breaths and with an upgrade, Break Frees. This is the only way to sell inspirations. Bases can also hold inspiration storage units, where inspirations may be deposited for later use.
Note that during Task Forces or Strike Forces, you cannot buy inspirations from contacts. You may still buy them from Arena shopkeepers or retrieve them from bases.
Drops
So long as you have an empty inspiration slot, you have a chance of getting a random Inspiration after defeating an enemy. The most common are small ones. Medium ones sometimes happen, and large ones rarely. Medium and large drops are more common from defeating a boss enemy; Arch-Villain or Hero class enemies always drop large inspirations.
Siren's Call
You can trade in "Bounty" for medium-sized Inspirations. Some inspirations are only available by this method:
Strength of Will: Resist Effects
Moderately boosts your resistance to immobilization, sleep, disorient and hold effects for 180 seconds. Must be used before you are slept, held or disoriented, but can be used after being immobilized.
Special Inspirations
These inspirations are available only during special events
Winter Event
These "presents" were available during the Winter Event 2004, Winter Event 2005, and Winter Event 2006. The actual effect of using a present inspiration is not known until the present is actually used. At that point, one of the six actions listed below will happen. It should be noted that it is possible to discern the 'contents' of a present inspiration prior to it's use by placing it in a SuperGroup inspiration holder. Such containers sort these inspirations by their effects.
Present Gift of Defense
You recieved the Gift of Defense. Your defense is now greatly increased.
Present Gift of Energy
You recieved the gift of Energy. Your endurance bar will be completely filled. This is apparently supposed to affect any friendly units in a small area around you, given the animation and combat log effects, but it currently only affects the user.
Present Gift of Experience
You received the Gift of Experience. You will not accrue any experience point debt if you are defeated. This protection will last for 1 hour or until you are defeated. Note that this effect will dissapear regardless of whether or not you recieved debt for that defeat. For example, falling to another player in a PvP zone.
Present Gift of Life
You received the Gift of Life and some of your health is restored. This is apparently supposed to affect any friendly units in a small area around you, given the animation and combat log effects, but it currently only affects the user.
Present Gift of Power
You received the Gift of Power and you now strike with a lot more damage.
Present Lump of Coal
You were bad this last year. You got a lump of coal and nothing else.
