Overview[]

Leadership is a power pool accessible to all Archetypes. The Leadership powers grant various bonuses to you and to all teammates, including pets, that are within range and in line-of-sight of the center of the effect. The first three powers are toggle PBAoEs centered on the character using them. The final power is a click AoE centered on a defeated teammate.

The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Leadership Vengence Vengeance[]

The loss of a comrade enrages the team. When a teammate is defeated in combat, activate this power to grant you and your teammates a bonus to Accuracy, Damage and Defense to all attacks. A Vengeful team has no fear, and Vengeance protects you and your Teammates from Fear effects. It also gives you and your team great resistance to Sleep, Hold, Disorient, Immobilize, Confuse, Taunt, Placate and Knockback. This power does not stack with multiple castings.

Vengeance cannot target defeated pets. Vengeance is unique in that its buffs will not apply to a character who already has a Vengeance buff active from a different character. (Its heal is not a buff and always applies.) You can, however, have multiple Vengeance buffs trigger simultaneously - if a defeated team mate is Recalled and multiple players have Vengeance queued to trigger, all of the multiple Vengeance buffs will stack. This is often used in Lord Recluse's Strike Force and the Ms. Liberty Task Force to provide a suitable buff to damage to take out multiple concurrent Heroes/AVs.

Archetype Differences[]

As with many pools, the effects of the different Leadership powers vary in strength depending on the Archetype of the character using them. The Leadership pool has more variance than any other pool, though, especially for Vengeance.
