Invulnerability

Overview

Invulnerability is one of the standard power sets. It is a primary power set for Tankers and a secondary power set for Brutes and Scrappers.

"Invulnerability gives you incredible abilities to resist damage and other effects. Its resistance to physical damage is superior, however, Invulnerability offers no protection from Psionic attacks."
