Powers

The following are powers in the Energy Melee powerset.

PowerPunch AssassinStrike.png Assassin's Strike

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack. However, if it is executed while you are hidden, this attack will do tremendous smashing and energy damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe.

Recharge:       Fast (Brute)

PowerPunch TotalFocus.png Total Focus
