Bio Armor is a primary power set for Tankers and a secondary power set for Brutes, Scrappers and Stalkers. This premium power set is not yet available for Paragon Points on the Paragon Market for Free and Premium Players; VIP Players must also purchase this set.

"Your body is shielded by an incredibly durable Bio Armor that evolves based upon your environment. You are also able to siphon genetic data from your foes to empower yourself and well as shift from a Defensive, Offensive and Balanced form. Bio Armor provides good damage resistance and defense, a fair amount of regeneration and a good number of offensive/debuff power options."

Adaptation Types

BioOrganicArmor EfficientAdaptation.png Efficient Adaptation Bio Armor Efficient Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to become evenly distributed along your body. While active Hardened Caparace grants a minor Endurance Discount, Inexhaustible grants additional regeneration and recovery, Ablative Carapace grants a bonus to regeneration, Evolving Armor grants additional regeneration and recovery for nearby targets, and both DNA Siphon and Parasitic Aura grant increased regeneration and recovery. Efficient Adaptation costs no endurance.
BioOrganicArmor DefensiveAdaptation.png Defensive Adaptation Bio Armor Defensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to become dense and durable. While active Hardened Carapace grants additional resistance to Lethal, Smashing and Toxic damage, Inexhaustible grants additional Maximum HP, Environmental Modification grants additional defense and also grants a small amount of Maximum HP, and Evolving Armor grants additional resistance and a small amount of defense per nearby target, Ablative Carapace grants additional damage absorption DNA Siphon grants additional health per target hit and Parasitic Aura grants additional damage absorption per target hit. Additionally, many of your damaging attacks will heal you for a minor amount of health. However, the bulkiness of this adaptation reduces your damage moderately. Defensive Adaptation costs no endurance.
BioOrganicArmor OffensiveAdaptation.png Offensive Adaptation Bio Armor Offensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to sprout spines and become much lighter. While active Hardened Carapace increases your damage slightly, Environmental Modification grants you a moderate to hit buff, Evolving Armor improved Damage Resistance debuff, and debuff effects from DNA Siphon, and Genetic Contamination and Parasitic Aura are increased moderately. Additionally, many of your damaging powers will inflict a minor amount of additional Toxic damage. While Offensive Adaptation is active your Defense and Damage Resistance is reduced slightly.

BioOrganicArmor Inexhaustible.png Boundless Energy

Your body constantly evolves and addresses weaknesses. As a result you receive a moderate bonus to maximum hit points, regeneration, recovery, increased endurance, as well as gaining a measure of Slow and Endurance Drain Resistance. Half of this power's maximum hit point increase is unenhanceable. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power grants a small bonus to recovery and regeneration. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain a small amount of additional max maximum hit points. This power doean't grant any bonuses to Offensive Adaptation.

BioOrganicArmor DNASiphon.png DNA Siphon

You can siphon genetic material from nearby enemies, causing a minor amount of Lethal damage and a minor amount of Toxic damage over time. Living enemies will provide the user with a small boost to health and endurance. These foes will have their regeneration rate reduced for a short period of time. Defeated enemies provide a weaker sample of material and thus will boost recovery and regeneration for a short while. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power will grant bonus regeneration and recovery per defeated target hit. While Defensive Adaptation is active, this power will grant bonus health per living target hit. While Offensive Adaptation is active this power's regeneration debuff is increased in effectiveness.

Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.
