Cryptic Studios took time out of the busy crunch period to unveil yet another powerset to the masses awaiting Champions Online. The unveiling of the Ice power set marks the fifth power set unveiled in the last six business days. Power sets are the basic building blocks of a “class” in Champions Online.
The sets have been known to Closed Beta Testers for some time, but no one was allowed to discuss them at length. For the first time you can get a complete run down on these, and upcoming sets, over on the Power Sets gallery.
- Electricity – heavy damage dealing build with direct, chain and area effect abilities
- Fire – damage over time and area effect specialist
- Power Armor – contains a payload of weaponry
- Force – focuses on knockback attacks
- Ice – excels at slowing down enemies
Naturally, Cryptic isn’t guaranteeing that everything listed will make it into the MMORPG when it launches on September 1; “all powers and power sets are considered unfinished and are subject to change at any time.”
