Overview

ParagonMarket ArchetypeEpic Peacebringer.png

Luminous Blast is the primary power set for Peacebringers.

"Masters of light, energy and matter, Peacebringers can manipulate Kheldian Light Energy to devastate their opponents. Their Luminous Blasts bombard their foes with awesome power that often knock down foes and can easily reduce a target's defenses."

Power Table

The Luminous Blast power set is the primary set for Peacebringers. Peacebringers have three forms, human, Bright Nova, and White Dwarf. Powers may change or be disabled between forms, but only the base version of the power needs to be enhanced; the enhancement slotting will carry over to the version of the power in other forms. Toggle powers that are active but not available in a form will typically be suppressed, meaning that the power stops offering its benefit and costing endurance, but will immediately be active when switching back to a valid form. The following table shows the level and form at which each power is available:
