I haven't played Champions Online in a while but I just came back recently and I like the changes made so far. It looks like Champions Online has switched to the
Free-To-Play model which is fine by me since I have a lifetime subscription anyway. But the thing I really like so far is the
Archetypes. Although so far I have been mixing and matching powers, I like the Archetypes because it is a specific framework and I don't really have to mull around thinking which power I should select next. And the two Archetypes I have chosen so far work pretty well.
The first Archetype I used is the
Inferno. I find fire and ice powers to be extremely uninteresting since they are always used in every superhero game. But, I decided to give it a go anyway. I called my character Flamer. After 10 levels I find he's a pretty good character. He's all about damage-per-second and not really about defense so he's kind of soft. But, I noticed he got much better after I got the slotted passive
Fiery Form. Up until now, I've been a really big fan of
Regeneration and it does well for a long time. But I do notice at the higher levels the ability to heal yourself doesn't matter as much. That's why I like the Archetypes. It's helping me to get out of my Regeneration rut.
