City of Heroes News & Events & Guides

Have you ever wanted a hero capable of manipulating time itself? That’s the focus of the new Time Manipulation power set for City of Heroes (CoH). This week the Intrepid Informer offers a look at the new support power set with CoH Powers Specialist Phil "Synapse" Zeleski.

One of the key skills in the new power set is Time Crawl, which will slow time down around an enemy, causing their wounds to heal slower and attacks to take longer. The effects of all other Time Manipulation skills are also enhanced against the affected enemy.
