Lightning

Keep your allies alive with jolts of Electricity. Characters that choose electricity will imbue themselves with lightning. Electricity characters use these powers to shock their enemies or revitalize allies. They also want to spread their electricity so they can do as much damage to groups as possible.

Access to Electricity is available to members with an active subscription. Non-members may purchase access in the Marketplace for either 600 Station Cash or 600 Marketplace Cash.

Specializing in Healing abilities, Electricity is the game's eighth power.
