Greetings, Champions!

Power choice has been a big part of Champions Online powers design from the very beginning. We’ve got a lot of power archetypes to choose from, and subscribers have the option to do Freeform power selection, hand-picking powers from different power sets to make their ultimate hero. For all you fans of Force-based powers, we’re introducing a new Ultimate Power, coming soon to Champions Online.

Ultimate Powers were originally introduced into the powers design system to allow players who dedicated themselves in specific power sets to unlock special abilities. These Ultimate Powers tended to be pretty spectacular and showcased what it means to focus your special abilities. Over time we decided to free up most of the restrictions on Ultimate powers, removing everything except the level restriction and the “1 Ultimate Power” limit. Some Ultimate Powers worked better with certain power sets, but players had the freedom to choose how they wanted to build their Champion.

The new Force-based “Gravity Driver” Ultimate Power gives players a new choice! Taught by Headmistress Rowan of the Ravenswood Academy, Gravity Driver brings down a massive crushing pillar of force down on your enemies. Show your foes that you’re a force to be reckoned with!

The new Gravity Driver Ultimate Power unlock is available as a mid-rarity prize in the upcoming Ravenswood Lockbox. It comes as a token that can be either consumed, or traded/sold to other players. Once unlocked, players can choose it as their Ultimate Power on any Freeform character of level 35+ on their account.

The Gravity Driver is on PTS this weekend for Gold players to try. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think!
