Overview

Sonic Resonance is one of the powersets. It is a Defender primary power set and a Controller and Corruptor secondary power set.

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

The following are powers in the Sonic Resonance powerset.

Clarity

By bouncing a carefully pitched sound wave off an ally's ear drum, you can free him from any disorient, hold, sleep, confusion, fear, and immobilize effects, and leave him 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 with enhanced perception.
