City of Heroes: Difference between revisions

Line 571:

* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: When in [[PVP]], kill off your enemy's healers first, obviously. And the same goes for any villains who can heal other minions. The Tsoo Sorcerers are one of the earlier examples of this trope, especially annoying since they'll heal any other faction you're trying to kill. Later on you may run into the Devouring Earth.

** Confounded by the Praetorian ghouls, who radiate healing energies (that affect only other ghouls) when they die—in other words, shooting them ''turns them into medics''.

* [[Signature Colors]]: When creating a super group, among the decisions to be made is a primary and secondary color, which the members of the group can choose to have automatically replace the existing colors of their costumes to indicate they are on super group business. (Or are just loyal members.)

* [[Significant Anagram]]: The Honoree. Mender Silos.

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism]]: ''City of Heroes'' is generally pegged firmly on the Idealism end of the ~~scale—villains~~ get their comeuppance and stopped, and only the lowest, cruelest sorts firmly over the [[Moral Event Horizon]] aren't [[Genre Blind]]. ''City of Villains'' is generally more cynical, with everyone (with a few exceptions) generally being unpleasant at the very least, and the closest characters to idealism being a demon hunter whose major pleasure in life is inflicting pain upon demons, and a [[Knight Templar]] whose aspirations involve {{spoiler|brainwashing every villain in the world into being good}}. ''Going Rogue'' gives players the ability to move along the scale as they see fit, and the world ''it'' introduces is... [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|squiffy]] about the issue.
