'''Arachnos Soldier''' is the initial primary power set for [[Arachnos Soldier]]s.


The '''Arachnos Soldier''' powerset is the initial primary powerset for the [[Arachnos Soldier]] archetype. Its selection of powers is available regardless of the [[Threat Level]] of the character. When the character reaches level 24, the [[Crab Spider Soldier]] and [[Bane Spider Soldier]] powersets become available.
"Characters with Arachnos Soldier training begin their careers as Wolf Spiders. Wolf Spider characters have a strong mix of Melee and Ranged attacks and strong protective powers available via their power armor. Beginning at Level 24, the player has to choose whether he will progress down the "Crab Spider" or "Bane Spider" path. Crab Spiders gain access to the "backpack" and the powerful claw/cone attacks it provides, while the Bane Spider track provides stealth and a stronger focus on melee."
