Powers
The following are powers in the Energy Melee powerset.
Assassin's Strike
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 Smashing and Energy damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power.
This power is unavailable to Tankers and Brutes.
Damage | Special(Smashing/Energy) |
Recharge | Slow |
Minimum Level | 6 (Stalker) |
Effects | Melee |
Enhancements | Reduce Endurance Cost |
Increase Attack Rate | |
Enhance Damage | |
Enhance Accuracy |
Barrage
You perform a quick punch that deals minor damage. Coupled with other energy punches, Barrage can Disorient a foe.
Bone Smasher
A Bone Smasher attack can be slow, but it compensates by dealing a good amount of damage and having a better chance to Disorient than Energy Punch.
Build Up
Greatly increases the amount of damage you deal for a few seconds, as well as slightly increasing your Accuracy.
Recharge | Long |
Minimum Level | 6 (Brute) |
8 (Stalker) | |
28 (Tanker) | |
Effects | Self +Damage, +Accuracy |
Enhancements | Reduce Endurance Cost |
Increase Attack Rate | |
Enhance ToHit Buff |
Energy Punch
You perform a powerful Energy Punch that deals moderate damage. When used with other Energy Melee attacks, Energy Punch can disorient your opponent.
Energy Transfer
Mastery of Energy Melee begins with the ability to transfer your own hit points into a punch that deals extreme Smashing and Energy damage. Energy Transfer has a good chance of Disorienting the target.
Stalker: Unlike other Stalker primary attack powers, Energy Transfer cannot land a critical hit. However, if this attack is executed successfully while Hidden, you can avoid the hit point loss to yourself and deal a massive blow with no penalty.
Placate
Allows you to trick a foe into no longer attacking you. A successful Placate will also Hide you. This Hide is very brief, and offers no defense bonus, but it will allow you to deliver a critical hit or an Assassin's Strike. However, if you attack a Placated foe, he will be able to attack you back.
This power is unavailable to Tankers and Brutes.

Stun
By focusing your internal energy on your fists, you can turn them into personal tasers. This Stun attack deals minor damage, but has the best chance to disorient a target.
Taunt
Taunts a foe and all foes around him to attack you.
Tanker: Useful for pulling villains off an ally who finds himself in over his head. Taunted foes tend to ignore other enemies and focus on you for quite a while, so use this power cautiously. An Accuracy check is not required to taunt your foes.
Brute: Useful to pull enemies off allies and keep them attacking you to raise your fury.
This power is unavailable to Stalkers.

Total Focus
Total Focus is complete mastery over Energy Melee. This is a very slow, but incredibly devastating attack that can knock out most opponents, leaving them Disoriented. Due to the exhausting nature of Total Focus, the recharge time is very long.
Whirling Hands
By focusing your energy into the muscles in your arms, you can launch a dizzying flurry of attacks against every foe in melee range. Some foes may be hit hard enough to be Disoriented as well.
This power is unavailable to Stalkers.
History
- Tanker secondary
- for Brutes and Stalkers on CoV release
- switched the order of Tanker's powers after CoV to allow for more taunting/attacking, can't remember which.
