Guide Overview
Hello guys and girls, today I bring you a new and updated guide for the Wrecker Archetype. So what does this hero do? This hero fights for justice just his punches delivering attacks that can Stun into submission enemies.
This is a premium Archetype that can be purchased by Silver Players from the Zen Store or is free for Lifetime Subscribers
This Archetype can be obtained for free by gathering 750 Foxbat Cred during the Foxbatcon Event in April to unlock from the Store of Merchant Vendor
Main Mechanics:
1. Knock Effects: These effects are present on almost all attacks of the powers of the Might powerset which can send the enemies flying long distance (Knock Back), launch them up in the sky (Knock Up), make the enemies trip over themselves (Knock Down) and pull the foes toward our hero (Knock Towards/Knock to).
2. Reckless: This effect is present on several advantages of the Might powers and will apply the eponymous buff to our hero, that applies a shield effect called Bastion calculated from 6% of our damage pre-damage mitigation.
3. Disorient: This is a debuff used by many powersets, and will reduce the target's damage by 10% and movement speed by 25% for 12 seconds.
4. Demolish: This is a debuff that lowers the Crushing damage resistance of the enemies by 18% for 15 seconds.

Power Explanation
Level 1 - Clobber: This is our energy builder power that doesn't need to be ranked up in order to generate energy for us so I recommend leaving it at rank 1 and the initial attack has a 15% chance to apply the Disorient debuff. The special advantange of this power is called It's That Time which will make all the hits of this power have a 15% chance to apply Disorient instead the first strike.
Level 1 - Beatdown: This is our combo power that will hit enemies within 10ft distance and the last hit knocks down all targets. If the primary target is affected by a Crowd Control effect or Hold Resistance, they will be Knocked up instead. The special advantage of this power are the following:
a. Blindside Blow: Which will apply the Blindside buff to us when fully charged, which will increase the base damage of the next 3 Brick Framework powers for 1.9% for each stack of Enrage present on our hero and lasts for 10 seconds. Also adds 10 seconds onto the duration of the Demolish debuff.
b. Reckless Endangerment: The final hit of this combo applies a stack of Reckless to our hero.
Level 6 - Mighty Leap: This is a movement power that will cause our hero to perform a quick dash and hit an enemy dealing a small amount of Crushing damage as well Snaring them for 13 seconds. If we lunge further than 20ft and the target is not affected by a hold effect, the target will be Stunned for 2 seconds. This power has the following special advantages:
a. Bull Rush: This advantage will cause this power to knock back addtional targets within 10ft of our target and will also snare them for 16 seconds. This effect can happen once every 10 seconds
b. Rampant: This advantage will cause this power to grant us a stack of Reckless and refresh existing application of this buff.
c. Here I Am: This advantage will cause this power to Stun secondary targets for a second, within 10ft if they aren't affected by a control effect. This can happen once every 10 seconds.
Level 8 - Unstoppable: This is our Slotted Passive power that will increase all our melee and Bleed damage by a large amount and all other damage by a lesser amount. Unstoppable will generate energy whenever an enemy knocks our hero, this energy return scales with our Recovery stat, as well this power grants us a boost to our Knock and Crowd Control resistance.
Level 11 - Demolish OR Roomsweeper: This is the first choice between two powers for this Archetype.
1. Demolish: This is a two handed strike that will deal Crushing damage to the target as well apply the eponymous debuff on a full charge. The special advantages of this power are the following:
a. Below the Belt: This advantage will cause this power to Knock up the target.
b. Seeing Stars: This advantage will apply the Despondency debuff to the target which lowers their chance to dodge attacks for certain percentage which scales with our Strength stat, and is considered a Mental State effect.
2. Roomsweeper: This power will deal damage to up to 5 enemies in a wide arc of 180 degrees and Knock them back (knock distance scaling with our Strength stat). The base damage of this power increases by 30% if the target is knock immune like Super Villains or bosses. This power has the following special advantages:
a. Concussive Blow: Which will Stun the targets for 2 seconds while they are flying. Can only occur once every 5 seconds.
b. Dizzying Impact: Which will apply the Disorient debuff to all targets when fully charged.
c. Demolishing Strikes: Which will apply the Demolish debuff to the primary target when fully charged.
Level 14 - Enrage: This is our toggle form that will grant us stacks of Enrage which increases the melee damage of our hero by a large amount and ranged damage for a lesser amount everytime we attempt to knock a foe. We can gain a stack of this form once every 4 seconds, stacks up to 8 times and the damage bonus of this form scales with our Strength stat. Also increases our energy costs by 10%. This form has a cosmetic advantage called Giant Growth which costs 0 advantage points and will cause our hero to grow for each stack of Enrage we have.
Level 17 - Haymaker: This is the most powerful single target attack of the Might powerset and can be charged to deal a huge amount of damage to the enemy as well knock them back a long distance (knock distance scaling with our Strength stat). The base damage of this power is increased by 30% versus targets who are not knock prone such as Super Villains and higher ranked targets like bosses. This power has a special advantage called Reckless Strikes which will increase the base damage of this power by 30% if our hero is affected by the Reckless buff.
Level 21 - Retaliation: This is our block replacer power that can be maintained to reduce incoming damage from foes' attacks. The feature of this power is that while blocking will apply or refresh the Retaliation buff increasing the damage of our next attack for a certain percentage based on rank. Retaliation will generate energy based on the damage taken and our Recovery stat. This power has the following special advantages:
a. Punitive Pummeling: Attacks made against our hero while blocking with this power have a 100% chance to reflect the incoming damage as a Knock Back. This effect can occur at most every 10 seconds and deals no damage.
b. Indomitable: This advantage will grant an additional 5% resitance to all damage, 5% resistance to hold effects and resistance to Knock effects. This amount increases the lower your health gets, up to a 120% maximum. Costs 3 advantage points.
Level 25 - Pulverizer: This power is our energy unlock that will generate energy over time if we attempt to knock a foe. The energy return of this power scales with our Recovery and Endurance stats and can stack up to 3 times. Gaining a new stack refreshes the duration of all stacks of this energy unlock.
Level 30 - Shockwave OR Havoc Stomp: This is the second choice between two powers for this Archetype:
1. Shockwave: This is a ranged power that will deal damage to foes within 50ft. Foes within 25ft take Crushing damage, but foes beyond 25ft take Sonic damage instead. This power has the following advantages:
a. Power Shift: Each hit of this power has a 10% chance to knock targets to us and if it is fully maintained, all targets will be knocked towards our hero.
b. Reckless Endangerment: Each hit of this power has a 10% chance to apply a stack of Reckless to us. Stacks up to 3 times.
c. Wrecking Ball: If fully maintained, this power will apply the Demolish debuff to all targets.
2. Havoc Stomp: This power will deal damage foes in a 10ft sphere around our hero. If charged for less than 90% the targets will be Knocked up in the sky, but if it is fully charged all the enemies will be knocked back. This power has the following advatages:
a. Cry Havoc: Applies the Fear debuff to the targets, lowering the damage they deal by 10% for 12 seconds. Counts as a Mental State.
b. Major Impact: This advantage will increase the radius of this power to 20ft but the damage stays at 10ft, and the knock back effect is replaced by a Knock towards.
c. Reckless Endargement: Fully charging this power will grant us a stack of Reckless for each target hit, up to a maximum of 3 stacks.
Level 35 - Agressor OR Endorphin Rush: This is the final choice between two powers for this Archetype.
1. Aggressor: This power is an Active Offense which will increase all our damage and grant us bonus Constitution and Strength. Also applies Break Free damage to any Holds, Roots or Disables affecting our hero. Has a recharge of 1 min and 30 seconds. This power has a special advantage called Destructive Force that will cause our attacks to Stun foes for 2 seconds while this Active Offense lasts.
2. Endorphin Rush: This is a heal over time power which heal will trigger if we deal damage or suffer damage from an enemy attack and the heal happens once every 2 seconds for 6 seconds for the next 15 seconds. The heal of this power doesn't scale with the Presence stat, instead it scales with our Constitution and Recovery stats. The special advantage of this power is called Can't Stop Me and will apply 3 stacks of Charged Up, which increases our travel speeds for a short time.
Level 40 - Unleashed Rage: This is an Ultimate power that will deal Crushing damage to 10 foes within 20ft. The damage of this power scales with our Enrage stacks and also all targets are Disoriented and Knocked down. Has a 1 minute recharge. This power has the following special advantages
