Veteran Reward Powers

Overview

Veteran Reward Powers are permanent powers that a player may claim once his or her account has been active for a certain length of time. All Veteran Reward powers are available separately for each character on that player's account, including new characters. Some of these powers are mutually exclusive. After selection, these powers cannot be re-selected, so choices should be carefully considered.

Attacks from the Veteran Rewards Program are affected by recharge and accuracy/tohit buffs, but no other buffs. However, their damage can be increased if the target is suffering from resistance debuffs.

Melee Attacks

These powers may be claimed after being active for 12 months. Only one of these may be claimed per character.

Ghost Slaying Axe

This massive weapon was specifically crafted by MAGI to slay the undead. Note that Mastermind Henchmen are protected from this effect. Damage enhancing powers do not apply to the Ghost Slaying Axe.

Damage Melee, Moderate Damage (Lethal) Recharge Moderate Effects Bonus Damage vs True Undead

This power is slightly different from the Temporary Undead Slaying Axe. Although both weapons cause the same amounts of normal and bonus damage, the Veteran weapon's bonus damage is Energy damage, whereas the Undead Slaying Axe's bonus damage is a special type that is unaffected by resistances. These two powers do different amounts of bonus damage to Undead targets that have a resistance or a vulnerability to Energy damage. Also, the Temporary version's normal damage is buffable.

• 130% bonus damage vs. Circle of Thorn spirits
• 100% bonus damage vs. Banished Pantheon zombies
• 100% bonus damage vs. Tsoo Ancestor Spirits
• 80% bonus damage vs. Unseelies

Sands of Mu

You have found some strange black sand. While carrying it, you have the ability to deal a flurry of punches charged with Negative Energy of the Netherworld. Damage enhancing powers do not apply to the Sands of Mu.

This power is slightly different from the Temporary Sands of Mu. The Temporary version's damage is buffable.

Base Transporter

You have a Base Transport beacon. It will allow you to return to your base from any location. It is usable once every 30 minutes.

If your Supergroup belongs to a Coalition, you may teleport to any base within that Coalition. This power takes a long time to activate, and is interruptible.

This power may be claimed after being active for 24 months. This power has a minimum level requirement of 3. You can claim it at level 1 or 2, but it will not appear on your character until you reach level 3.

Effects Teleport to Base

Ranged Attacks

These powers may be claimed after being active for 33 months. Only one of these may be claimed per character.

Nemesis Staff

This strange, steam-powered staff shoots a bolt of energy that deals damage, knocks back foes. The Nemesis is particularly effective when wielded by Technology, Science or Natural origin individuals. Damage enhancing powers do not apply to the Nemesis Staff.

This power is slightly different from the Temporary Nemesis Staff. The Temporary version offers no bonus damage based on origin, sometimes Disorients its target, and sometimes doesn't knock its target back. The Temporary version's damage is also buffable.

Damage Ranged, Moderate (Smashing) Recharge Long Effects Bonus Damage for Technology/Science/Natural Origin characters, Foe Knockback

Blackwand

Veteran Blackwand

This black metal wand feels cold in your hand, and glows with dark arcane energies. When used by Magic, Mutant or Natural origin individuals, the potency of its attacks are increased. Damage enhancing powers do not apply to the Blackwand.

This power is slightly different from the Temporary Blackwand. The Temporary version offers bonus damage only to Magic origin characters, and it does not reduce its target's accuracy. The Temporary version's damage is also buffable.

Damage Ranged, Moderate (Negative) Recharge Long Effects Bonus Damage for Magic/Mutant/Natural Origin characters, Foe -ToHit

Bug!
The Blackwand's description in the initial power selection popup fails to mention that Natural Origin characters get a damage bonus with it.
