Overview

Mind Control is one of the powersets. It is a Controller primary powerset in City of Heroes and a Dominator primary powerset in City of Villains.

You can manipulate and control your opponent's mind. Since mental powers directly affect the mind, most tend to be very accurate, and thus very useful against higher level foes. Few foes can resist psionic powers, but creatures without minds, like machines and robots, are resistant to many of the effects.

Power Table

The Mind Control powerset is available as a primary set for Controllers and Dominators. The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

Power Level Effect

MentalControl Levitate.png Levitate 1 Ranged, Moderate Damage (Smash)
MentalControl Command.png Dominate 2 Ranged, Moderate Damage (Psionic), Foe Hold
MentalControl MindControl.png Confuse 6 Ranged, Target Confuse
MentalControl MassHypnosis.png Mass Hypnosis 8 Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe Sleep
MentalControl Telekinesis.png Telekinesis 12 Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe Hold, Repel
MentalControl Freeze.png Total Domination 18 Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect), Foe Hold
MentalControl Terrify.png Terrify 26 Ranged (Cone), Minor Damage (Psionic), Foe Fear (Special)

Powers

The following are powers in the Mind Control powerset.
