Powers

The following are powers in the Sonic Resonance powerset.

SonicDebuff Dispel.png 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.

Notes

  • The graphic effects of this set, particularly the shields, seem to cause headaches for some players. The developers are aware of this issue, but as of now there are no concrete plans for what to do about it. (Back Alley Brawler's post.)
  • Graphic effects have been changed as of Issue 10. [1]
