Issue 19

Overview

Issue 19, Alpha Strike, will be a major revision to City of Heroes and City of Villains. The title references the Alpha Strike Task Force, which is one of the ways Level 50 characters can make themselves more powerful with the Incarnate System.

This article summarizes some of the major features in Issue 19.

Confirmed Content

• The Alpha Slot, the first part of the Incarnate System, with an accompanying storyarc.
• Alpha Strike Task Force, with Apex (no longer a level 15 scrapper, but working for the Vanguard) as the contact
  • Note: the Incarnate System will be available exclusively to those who purchase the Going Rogue expansion.
• The Fitness Power Pool will now become Inherent Powers for all characters.
• More Tip Missions.

Notes

Release scheduled for Fall 2010.
