Sleep

This article is about the status effect. For the sleep emote, see Emotes.

Overview

Sleep is a Status Effect, like disorient, or knockback. An enemy under the affects of a sleep power will fall asleep. A player who is asleep is immobilized and unable to use any powers. Breakfree inspirations and domination can be used to escape. Taking damage or benefiting from a heal will also free a player from sleep. NPC enemies that fall asleep will remain that way until the effect wears off or they start taking damage.

Falling under the Sleep effect, even for a single tick, will detoggle all your powers.

Magnitude, Resistance, Protection

All status effects work the same way. The target has both Resistance and Protection. In order for the attack to take effect, it must have a big enough Magnitude to overcome the Protection. Once the Protection is overcome, the duration of the effect depends on the target's Resistance. Attacks can stack in order to overcome a target's Protection.

PVE: Minions have a Protection of 1. Lts are 2. Bosses are 4. Elite Bosses are 6. The Purple Triangles of Doom on an Archvillain or Hero add 50 while they are up.

PVP: Players have a Protection of 2. Scrapper and Tank defenses add 16 to that number.
