Overview

Dual Blades is one of the powersets to come. It is a Scrapper primary power set and a Tanker secondary set in City of Heroes, and a Stalker and Brute primary powerset in City of Villains. It is set to come out with issue 11. The devs (Back Alley Brawler in particular) have confirmed that the set will be insanely quick.

A video of this set in action is available from the Official movie page!

Combination Attacks

The highlight of the dual blades power set is its implementation of a "combo system." Most attacks lack a secondary effect (like Katana's -Def or Dark's -Acc) but the set makes up for this by adding the ability to chain attacks together to create an additional effect at the end.

The following are powers in the Energy Melee powerset.

This power is unavailable to Tankers and Brutes.

This power is unavailable to Stalkers.

Total Focus is complete mastery over Energy Melee. This is a very slow, but incredibly devastating attack that can knock out most opponents, leaving them Disoriented. Due to the exhausting nature of Total Focus, the recharge time is very long.
