City of Heroes: New Powers Coming in Issue 21
Nov 11th
A new developer blog post is live on the City of Heroes site that details some new powers coming with Issue 21: Media Blitz. Penned by Jeff "Arbiter Hawk" Hamilton, discusses how powers are expanding the Alpha, Interface, Destiny, and Judgement slots of the Incarnate Powers.
