Overview

Claws is a Melee Primary power set, though it does contain one Ranged attack. Scrappers, in City of Heroes, and Stalkers, in City of Villains, have access to Claws.

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.

Powers

The following are powers in the Claws powerset.

Claws AssassinClaw.png Assassin's Claw

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack. However, if it is executed while you are hidden, this attack will do tremendous lethal damage, as you impale your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power.

This power is unavailable to Scrappers.

For Stalkers, if this attack is executed while hidden, all affected targets have a chance to be hit with a critical hit for extra lethal damage. However, there is also a very small chance you may land a critical hit with Eviscerate even if you are not hidden.
