Criswolf09 Updated Freeform Guides

[Xaq]

Do you have a take on a freeform Night Warrior build? I've created a toon named "Catacomb Kid", inspired by one of my favorite music artists. I imagine Catacomb Kid (CK) to be an urban explorer, the catacombs being sewers and abandoned buildings and whatnot. As far as the build is concerned, he's also inspired by a rougher street level Robin, maybe more aggressive like Damian Wayne.

Your AT guide on the Night Warrior was helpful. I just noticed the AT doesn't come with any self-healing and wondered if it could be improved upon. I tried my hand at creating a build, but there's a fear that I'm not understanding something correctly and I could be doing more damage, healing better or any number of things. Fighting claws with Imaginary Weapons look really fitting for a smaller "teen" or "kid" toon with the jumpy martial arts, so I don't mind that as an energy builder along with Viper's Fangs, but anything you might come up with works for me.

Once more, I really appreciate your time! I'm excited to see your take on a freeform Night Avenger. Thanks a bunch!

Excellent! You're too kind! I appreciate your help in bringing this character to life.

I want to try different powers on Freeform.

Hey can I ask if you can give some advice or example to make a ranged INV tank with shields like( IDF / Unbreakable / the force bolts adv Energy Refraction ) and something like maybe poison or whatever currently does best dmg.

I want to remake my range dps with int/ego/rec gear into a tank-dps so i can do solo Adventure packs etc on elite mode for the bet drops etc and ofc slowly get him geared up more as a tank.

Or just really well survival dps.
I used champions-online.proboards.com/thread/1385?page=1 as a base for the tank backbone changing meleee to range. It can take a hit and survive without blocking against Medusa on the hardest mode for 5 ppl team in the training room , but it takes a lot of time.

I'm fine mixing powers as long they have some synergy.

PS: the INV plus con/protec/sentry resistance makes it somewhat easy to take hits without insta dying in the Dr. Destroyer robot factory on elite alone .

Well it is possible to make a ranged poison tank with Invulnerability and Concentration. I'd wait a bit about using IDF because it will be turned into a support passive next month.

Yea i am testing  stuff on the PTS and noticed that I'm guessing I can use another self heal or mass debuff to limit the dmg the enemies around me do if i stick with one to two single-ranged and 1/2 AoE with the rest being debuffs/buffs heals and AO/AD ?

Any way to make a functional build primarily using chain-based abilities? Probably Might and/or Infernal, DPS or Tank.

You can start the rotation with Lash x5 times so the enemies are poisoned and the spam defile. Use vicious cyclone for AoE damage.

Hey Criswolf, long time reader first time poster. I've been trying to conjure up a workable build with a "vocal" theme. It'd probably have to be sonic based but I'm trying to stay away from tech & gadgets, so more of a "screamer" type of theme. There's not a lot to work with but you're a genius so I was wondering if you could come up with something. Hyper Voice is really the only must, I guess.
