Introduction
"Control," in the context of combat in City of Heroes, refers to powers that can prevent a foe from acting in some way. Such powers are often called mez or Status Effect. For heroes, these sets are found in the Controller archetype, and for villains are found in the Dominator archetype. Powers that are considered "controls" usually have effects such as Immobilize, Stun, Sleep, Hold, Confuse, Fear, Slow, Knockback, or Slow.
Powers that reliably prevent enemies from acting at all, such as Holds or Disorients, are considered "hard" controls, while less reliable effects such as Knockback or Sleep are called "soft" controls.
