Overview

Sonic Resonance is a standard power set that is primary set for Defenders and a secondary set for Controllers, Corruptors, and Masterminds.

"You have the ability to control sound in several fashions. You can create semi-solid barriers, set up waves which weaken or strengthen a target, as well as creating soothing sounds which act to counteract any negative effects which may exist on your friends."

Powers

Clarity

By bouncing a carefully pitched sound wave off an ally's ear drum, you can free them from any Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Confusion, Fear, or Immobilize effects, and leave them resistant to such effects for a good while. Protection will improve with multiple applications and as you advance in level. Clarity also provides your ally enhanced perception.
