Character Creation:
* The first step in the Archetype Selection. This will determine the role your Character will play throughout the game. You will begin with 5 Archetypes to choose from: Tank,Scrapper,Blaster,Defender,and Controller. Each Archetype has a specific, but important function in the game.
* Step two is the Character Creation process is the selection of Origin.You can select from 5 different options. Mutant,Science,Magic,Technology, and Natural. This will determine which enhancements you will use, your inherent power,and for Levels 1-5 which enemies you will face. This will also give you a background to use if you decide to write a Bio for your Hero.
**As a Tank you will lead the charge into battle. Tanks are designed with high defenses and Low to Mid damage out put. Keeping the enemies attention on you and off your teammates is your main goal for a Tank. You are the wall between your teammates and the enemy.
** As a Scrapper you will be in the heat of the battle side by side with a Tank. Scrappers are designed with High damage out put and Mid defenses. Being fearless is what Scrappers are known for. Taking out the higher powered enemies such as Bosses and Lieutenants will give your team a greater chance of survival.
** As a Blaster you are armed with Ranged attacks.Blasters are designed with High damage out put and Low defenses. Long ranged attacks are your strong suit. Taking out the minions and assisting with the Bosses and Lieutenants carry your team to victory.
** As a Defender you provide protection to your teammates in various ways. Defenders are designed with Low - Mid damage out put and Low defenses. Do not let the lack of damage and defense discourage you from using this Archetype. The Defender is a huge key in a teams victory. By providing health to your teammates and the ability to hinder your enemies attacks you can almost decide the outcome of every fight.
** As a Controller you are the lock down master. Controllers are designed with Low -Mid damage out put with Low defenses. Being a Controller your main focus is restricting the movement of the enemies. With a wide variety of Immobilize and Holds you can render an entire group of enemies helpless. You will also provide health and other protection to your teammates.
* Step 3 Power Selection:
After selecting your Archetype you will now decide which Primary and Secondary your character will use during his career. Each Archetype will have a different selection of Primary and Secondary Powers to choose from. At the beginning you will be able to select from one of two Primary Powers that are available. Your Secondary Power choice is mandatory and restricted to the first power in that section. As you advance in levels more powers will become unlocked and selectable as you train. Choose the powers that best suit your play style regardless of the "popularity" of that power.
* Step 4 Body Type Selection:
You can choose between 3 Body Types for your toons. Male, Female, and Huge. After selecting which Body Type you want you are provided a window with "Sliders". You can scale your characters body to whatever sizes you desire.
* Step 5 Costume Selection:
Looking good is almost as important as being powerful for your character. With a huge selection of costume pieces and designs you will spend a lot of time here getting the right look for your character. From head to toe you can provide your character with all the latest fashions.
* Step 6 "Name that TOON":
Giving your character a name will provide a small challenge as you have to use your imagination a bit more. Your character will be identified by this name throughout the game. It will be displayed to all other players.
* Step 7 Tutorials:
After you have created a name for your toon you will be giving the option for Tutorials. This is highly recommended for all beginners. This is a small walk through that will provide information about your powers and abilities. As you progress to each contact you will notice your Experience Bar increasing. Completing task given to you by each contact will result in your progression. You will also gain experience by defeating enemies. Tutorials are completely optional and can be bypassed if desired.
* Step 8 Zone Selection:
You will be given a choice between two Zones to start from, Atlas Park and Galaxy City. Each of these Zones has a trainer you will be instructed to talk to if you complete the Tutorials. If you bypassed the Tutorials you will be directed to your first contact by the Navigation Bar.
You are now on your way to saving Paragon City. As you progress through the game you will achieve new "Levels" by gaining determined amounts of experience. After reaching a new level head to the nearest trainer to select a new Power from your Primary/Secondary or Enhancement Slots. Depending on the level you achieve will determine your reward. Even levels will provide a Power Selections and Odd levels will provide Enhancement Slots UNTIL level 32. From there it will change to levels 35,38,41,44,47,49 providing Power Selections and levels 33,34,36,37,39,40,42,43,45,46,48,50 provide Enhancement Slots.
Enhancement Slots are the key to your strength. You can provide six Enhancement Slots to each available Power in your Power Management Screen. This will be done during training after you reached a new level. In early levels you will on get two Enhancement Slots at a time. Use the Enhancement Slots on the Powers you wish to upgrade. BEWARED!! Choose wisely as the placement of slots is locked in until a "Respec" is earned.Each Power can be "enhanced" with different types of enhancements. The various types of Enhancements you use determines what your characters limitations are. An example would be slotting 1 Acc Enhancement 3 Damage Enhancements 1 Endrance Reduction Enhancement and 1 Recharge Enhancement. Now reading the last sentence can be confusing for a new player, but what it means is : With 1 Accuracy Enhancement your Accuracy is increased by a percentage according to your level and Enhancement type. The same with the 3 Damage Enhancements. This power now has an increase of a percentage 3 times since you have 3 Enhancements. Same with the 1 Endurance Reduction, and 1 Recharge. The Power you have slotted now has increased Accuracy, Damage, and a discount on Endurance cost and Recharge time.
