When I found out the Night Avenger archetype, I was very excited. This sounded like an interesting way to play the game. And it is.
I was a bit leery about the Night Avenger because, at its core, it is a melee character. And you know that as much fun it is to play melee characters, ranged characters just rule. But, the Night Avenger gives melee a slightly better name.
Although not everyone likes archetypes, I do. I figure I don't want to spend my time figuring out the best of the best powers. I want to play the game. Archetypes help you to do that with minimal decision-making.
In the early levels, the Night Avenger is strictly melee and not all that fun or powerful. It changes a little when you get Smoke Bomb Lunge. It's an impressive animation and you could conceivably use it for every opponent in the group you're up against.
Surely, melee suffers but that's not your bread and butter. It's just a way to attack at close range. You're really a RANGED character.
Sneaking up on your opponent is much better and you can even be cloaked. I get bonuses for using my boomerang while cloaked. Awesome.
I also put in the zen to get one of those Nighthawk jets.
I got the Nighthawk Interceptor.
I always thought there should be a way to use vehicles in this game. And now you can. I was thinking that you could use this as your travel power and get another non-flying travel power. And the Interceptor has OFFENSIVE WEAPONS! Although it is weird to use this in certain indoor fighting, it's still pretty cool.
Altogether, the Night Avenger upgrade is the best in recent months. It has made me want to play the game again.

I'm not entirely happy with the Night Avenger AT. Shadow Strike and Ricochet Throw are awesome, but Form of the Tiger only gives Focus when you charge an attack more than halfway...and the only attack you have thatrequires a charge before level 30 is Shadow Strike. Because Shadow Strike takes so long to cool down, you'll never have more than 2 Focus (unless you spend Advantage Points; then you can get up to 4.)
ReplyDeleteSmoke Bomb Lunge I basically dropped after I got Ricochet Throw; it's really only useful in closing to attack so you get the stun effect.
I also found the blade-throwing (formerly Boomerand Cone) power redundant with Ricochet Throw. It's weaker even though it's Tier 2 and Ricochet is Tier 1.
While Night Avanger has a lot of potential, it seems to me there's a few powers there not pulling their weight. (I'm only 28th level, so I haven't explored Dragon Claws yet.)
