Overview

The Archetype is the most fundamental choice made while creating a character. It determines which powers are - and aren't - available for the lifetime of the character. Archetype, along with origin and Primary Power Sets and Secondary Power Sets, cannot be changed after character creation.

Each archetype will play slightly different than all other archetypes, even archetypes that utilize the same power sets. More information on an archetype's "style" can be found on each archetype page.

Archetypes

The following fifteen archetypes are available to play:

Blaster
Brute
Controller
Corruptor
Defender
Dominator
Guardian(Archetype)
Mastermind
Scrapper
Stalker
Tanker
Peacebringer
Warshade
Arachnos Soldier
Arachnos Widow


The following Epic Archetype was cancelled during its development phase, and thus was never released.
