Powers

Acid Arrow

This arrow explodes in a small shower of acid on impact. This acid eats through armor, causing damage over time, reducing target's Defense as well as their resistance to debuffs, while making it harder for them to be healed.

Disruption Arrow

This arrow plants a sonic resonator at a target location. The vibrations of the resonator weaken the Damage Resistance and Max Endurance of all nearby foes.

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. Allies in range of the pulse will also have their resistances to all damage except toxic increased, as well as be protected from status effects, knockbacks, endurance drain and recovery debuffs.

Entangling Arrow

You entangle a targeted foe causing their reflexes to become slowed and sluggish. This grounds them and causes them to have decreased movement speed and damage resistance. Weaker foes will also be immobilized.

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 foes will not be able to see past normal melee range, although some may have better perception. If the foes are attacked, they will be alerted to your presence, but will suffer a penalty to their chance to hit.

Glue Arrow

This arrow carries a cartridge of intensely sticky glue, which explodes on impact. The glue slows the movement and attack rates of any foes in the area.

Recharge Slow Minimum Level 4 (Controller) 4 (Corruptor) 2 (Defender) 4 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged (Location Area of Effect) Foe -Recharge, -Speed Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Enhance Slow Set Categories Slow Movement

Ice Arrow

This arrow can freeze a single foe in a block of ice. The target is frozen solid, helpless, and can be attacked. More powerful foes may not be held, but all affected targets will be slowed, have their secondary effects weakened, and damage output reduced.

Recharge Slow Minimum Level 10 (Controller) 10 (Corruptor) 6 (Defender) 10 (Mastermind) Effects Ranged Foe Hold, -Recharge, -Speed, -Damage Enhancements Enhance Accuracy Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Hold Duration Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Enhance Slow Set Categories Holds Slow Movement

Oil Slick Arrow

On impact, this arrow creates an oil slick that slows foes in the area and may 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 (Location Area of Effect) Foe Knockdown, -Speed, -Defense, +Special Enhancements Enhance Damage Enhance Defense Debuff Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Enhance Slow Set Categories Ranged AoE Damage Defense Debuff Slow Movement Universal Damage

Poison Gas Arrow

This arrow carries a capsule cloud of poisonous gas, which explodes on impact and weakens all foes in its vicinity. Affected foes damage potential will be severely reduced. Some foes will react badly to the poison and choke for a time, though they will react if attacked.
