Part 16

Thinking about your City of Heroes build? Decide between a quick early game or a challenging late game. Learn about optimizing recharge and Perma-Hasten for your character.

Alright, let's talk about the long game in City of Heroes. When you're planning out your character, you've got a big decision to make: do you want to focus on the short, easy path through the early game, or are you up for the long, challenging grind of the late game? I personally went with the late-game focus, and honestly, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

One thing that can make a huge difference, especially if you've got some open slots in your build, is using Dull Pain. You can slot this with four Recharge SOs, and if you combine that with Perma-Hasten, you can keep it active pretty much all the time. I can't recommend this enough if you have the build space for it!
