Power Sets
Power sets determine which powers will be available for a hero or villain to select. Each villain selects at character creation both a primary power set and a secondary power set, the availability of which is determined by the archetype, and cannot be changed thereafter (though the selection of powers inside of the power sets can be changed by means of a respec).
Power sets are often available as a primary power set for one archetype, and as a secondary power set for another. Generally, the effects of powers in a secondary power set are 75% as effective as their equivalents in a primary power set (though there are exceptions).
Powers are unlocked within a power set as you go up levels, by the following table:
| Tier | Primary Level | Secondary Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 | 4 |
| 4 | 6 | 10 |
| 5 | 8 | 16 |
| 6 | 12 | 20 |
| 7 | 18 | 28 |
| 8 | 26 | 35 |
| 9 | 32 | 38 |
For more detailed information about individual power sets, see the entries under the appropriate archetype.
