'''Claws''' is a Melee Primary power set, though it does contain one Ranged attack. [[Scrapper]]s in City of Heroes, and [[Brute]]s and [[Stalker]]s, in City of Villains, have access to Claws.

'''Claws''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s.
  
−
Claws are bones or blades that extend from your hands and cause Lethal damage. The lightweight, natural feel of claws gives this power set a reduced Endurance cost and faster attack rate than other Stalker or Scrapper melee sets. Like all Stalker primary attack powers, Claw attacks can land a Critical Hit for double damage, if you are properly Hidden or if your target is Slept or Held. Like all scrapper powers, all Claw attacks can sometimes land a critical hit for double damage.
