Powers are a big part of any superhero game; it’s hard to feel like a superhero if your only powers are “Stand In Place” and “File Taxes.” Valiance Online has posted a new development diary in which the developers explain how the various powers in the game are grouped and organized, allowing players to built the sort of character they want from a range of options.
Powers are divided up into groups based on functionality, depending on your combat style. Melee characters get access to melee damage, melee support, melee control, defense, and team defense, whilst ranged characters have access to ranged damage, ranged support, and ranged control. The sets also can be taken as primary or secondary sets, with secondaries always being less powerful than the primary. Check out the full diary for a clearer picture of how the game breaks down its abilities in the macro sense.
