Guide Overview
This is going to be a guide about the different powers that are called "Ultimates" in the game with demostrative videos and detailed explanation of each power per category or power family. Historically these powers were added to Champions Online back in 2010 with the Revelation update, but have received changes after the years. Now in 2023, I'll present you with this guide hoping to help you find the right ultimate for your build. From a roleplaying point of view, I think when a hero hones their abilities to the maximum they must be able to unlock a new power which shows the mastery of their abilities with incredible potency... well these are my thoughts hehehe. Anyways let's start with the guide.
Energy Projector Tree

-While you are affected by Infused Energy, this power becomes Unleashed Tempest.
-If an affected enemy is under the effect of Clinging Flames, Negative Ions, or Chill, that effect will be consumed, and grant you an appropriate type of Energy Charge.
-If an affected enemy is protected by Containment Fields, that effect will be removed, and you will be granted Energy Charge - Force.

The second part is a click called "Unleashed Tempest" which does the following:
