Powers

Acid Arrow

This arrow explodes in a shower of acid on impact. This acid eats through armor, causing damage over time. It reduces the target's Defense as well as their Damage Resistance.

EMP Arrow

This arrow can unleash a massive pulse of electromagnetic energy on impact. This EMP can affect machines, and is even powerful enough to affect synaptic brain patterns. It will incapacitate all foes in its radius. Additionally, most machines and robots will take moderate high damage. However, this power uses a lot of Endurance and leaves you unable to recover endurance for a while.

Entangling Arrow

Upon impact, the Entangling Arrow releases a strong net that can immobilize most targets. This non-lethal device deals no damage and does not prevent targets from attacking.

Flash Arrow

This arrow explodes in a dazzling flash of light and sound. The targets are so blinded that they can hardly see a thing. Most villains will not be able to see past normal melee range, although some may have better perception. If the villains are attacked, they will be alerted to your presence, but will suffer a penalty to their chance to hit.

Oil Slick Arrow

On impact, this arrow creates an oil slick that slows foes in the area and many cause them to slip and fall. The oil slick is very flammable and may burst into flames if fire is used near it.

Editor's Note:

Any amount of Fire or Energy damage will ignite the slick. Other damage types have no effect. The oil slick can be targeted by the player or his allies, to make it easier to ignite deliberately.

Damage Moderate Damage over Time(Fire) when ignited Recharge Long Minimum Level 35 (Controller) 35 (Corruptor) 26 (Defender) 35 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect) Foe Knockdown, -Speed, -Jump, -Defense(All) Enhancements Enhance Damage Enhance Defense Debuff Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Slow Set Categories Ranged AoE Damage Slow Movement Defense Debuff
