Invulnerability

Overview

Invulnerability is a Resistance powerset. It is characterized by high all around resistance compared to other defense sets. Tankers have access to this set as one of their primary powersets, while Brutes and Scrappers can use it as one of their secondary powersets.

Invulnerability gives you incredible abilities to resist damage and other effects. Its resistance to physical damage is superior, however, Invulnerability offers no protection from Psionic attacks.

History

This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes.

• Unyielding was originally called Unyielding Stance and caused the character to be immobilized, a true stance. This was changed in Issue 3.
  • Unyielding had -Defense which was compensated for by Invincibility's +Defense, and countered by Tough Hide.
• Invulnerability was adjusted in Issue 13:
  • Unyielding - Removed Defense Debuff
  • Invincibility - Reduce per target Defense Buff to offset the change from Unyielding, no net gain
  • Resist Physical Damage - Add 25% Defense Debuff Resistance
  • Tough Hide - Add 25% Defense Debuff Resistance
  • Resist Energies - Add 25% Endurance Debuff Resistance.
  • Resist Elements - Add 20% Movement Slow Resistance
