Champions Customization

[Kaos Arcanna]

So, one of the things that Champions does really well IMO is the customization...

For instance I have a new character I made called Thomas the Vampire who uses the Bestial Supernatural powers, and it's proving to be far and away one of the most fun melee sets I have tried so far.  I picked up Venomous Breath tonight, and saw there's a zero point advantage to turn it from venomous breath into locust breath ... I can't see myself doing that because the standard animationb better fits my concept, but just the fact that it exists and doesn't cost me anything to use-- makes me happy.

Once you go green..

My tank is mostly Infernal Supernatural. He has Venomous Breath w/Paralytic Bile and I picked up the poison advantage too due to I don't have Epidemic or anything better to poison with, with him. You know your breath is bad when it leaves whole crowds stunned. He just got Shred for the debuff/bleed (moar agro) and has been trying it out.

The Energy Unlock, can be very good. Shred is a good resistance8 debuff - and not too bad with that Specialization that gives 6 or 9% more crit chance to combo attacks. I have >50% chance to crit with this attack (and my other combo attack) and at > 110% severity with my new melee build. Toss in some Enrage (which can come from Vile(?) Lariat if you don't have Enrage) and you're a bleed macheen.

Devour Essence combined with Elusive Monk or that Energy Shield advantage and maybe Ascension can be nice. Lil bonus healing never hurts either. A fast switch to hybrid mode if you aren't tanking and get into trouble can be decent with this power too.

Deeps used to be Infernal Supernatural Ranged and he was stealing agro with it but.. with all the powers we have to choose, why not try something new. So now he's a mostly dual blades/Infernal-Bestial Supernatural melee. Which was a nice customization ability I thought!

I think I'm gonna go back to ranged tho to fulfill my dps cravings... Something with big burst/spike damage that I can take Rampaging. We'll see.

I always go with the standard animation with Venomous breath. Locusts kinda fit the original Deeps due to he was a black skeleton kinda Death looking dude but I didn't want him to be overly creepy so I stuck with the belching green stuff which also looks better coming from my Frog.
