Powers

The following are powers in the Energy Melee powerset.

PowerPunch AssassinStrike.png 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.

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.

This power is unavailable to Tankers and Brutes.

PowerPunch Taunt.png 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.

This power is unavailable to Stalkers.
