New Sickle Action & Prison Break!

I've been super busy with work so I haven't had time to play lately. But, I logged on today and got a new Dual Blades weapon. It's a couple of sickles with toxic damage. I love the look of them.

Also, a while back I jailed my Nemesis but he broke out today! There was a pretty cool mission to stop all the bad guys from breaking out of prison.


At one point, a whole gang of prisoners rushed me. Thankfully, my Dual Blades character can easily take care of crowds of enemies.


In this mission there are two major bad guys. Green Dragon is a Master Villain and uses the Martial Arts - Unarmed set. For Technoblade, he was easy to dispose.

The second boss is Vengeance and she is a Super Villain. I died once fighting her, mainly because I was also fighting a Nemesis Minion at the same time. Once I killed the Nemesis Minion, I could kill Vegeance pretty easily. Vengeance uses the Telekenesis Power Set and has dual Ego Blades.

Shot Through The Heart!

You've seen my main character Technoblade who has a Dual Blades power set. Well, I noticed how many different weapons the archery power set can craft so I decided to make an archer named Cupid.


As a ranged power set, I'm REALLY loving archery. My super stats are based on Dexterity and Ego so I can get great critical strikes. I also build up Constitution so I don't die too fast. And, as usual I take Regeneration or else I'd die quickly.


Unlike Dual Blades, which does quick damage, Archery does CHUNKS of damage in one shot. Sometimes I can one-shot the bad guys. One thing that also help is Mini Mines from the Munitions power set. I shoot my AoE sonic arrow, which stuns them, then I run over and launch Mini Mines which basically blows them up. I've gotten to level 27 with this technique and it doesn't look like I'm going to stop doing that in the near future.

This is my Nemesis: Psyche. In Greek mythology, Cupid was man, Psyche was a woman and they were lovers. In Champions Online, Cupid is a woman, Psyche is a man and they are enemies. I tried to make him look like a Greek god. His power, of course, is telepathy. His minions are animals who use Psi Blades.

In my next post, I'll show you some bows I either received as rewards or crafted on my own.

Meet... Technophobia!

Okay, so I finally got pictures of my main character's nemesis, Technophobia. He and his minions dress up like cowboys and their power is super strength.

Technophobia wants society to revert back to a simpler time, like the Old West when his ancestors first came to America. He is so anti-technology he doesn't even use a gun. He created a serum that gives himself and his minions superhuman strength.


Technoblade is not so one-sided when it comes to technology. His super soldier suit is what gives him his power and the technology keeps him alive. However, he is very skilled in the swordfighting and uses mostly his blades to do battle against Technophobia.

I think the Nemesis customization is one of the best features of Champions Online. It's cool to have an overarching story of one particular bad guy that you have to fight often. Gives the whole experience more of a comic book feel. Champions Online is definitely the best comic book-themed game I have ever played. City Of Heroes/Villains felt like an MMO with heroes/villains in it but didn't have a comic feel.

Nemesis + More Weapons

On Sunday, I reached level 25 for the first time with Technoblade! And I created my first nemesis. His name is Technophobia and he and his minions have super strength. I was so enthralled about my first nemesis mission I forgot to take pictures! Oh well, next time... My nemesis basically looks like a cowboy.

Anyway, I did take pictures of some new weapons:

I used these toxic blades for quite some time. I love the look of them and the toxic damage is very good.

I was able to make this pair of level 26 frost blades. Same blades as the toxic blades, but does frost damage instead.

This is my current favorite: electrified pick axes. They look like they hurt! Has an interesting sound to them too.
