A Free Guide to Super Stats on Champions Online

As mentioned in the basic stat guide, some stats scale by level and others give a flat benefit. Those that scale by level, to some extent, should not receive much attention—or talent points— unless you plan to Super Stat them. Sheer ability points alone cannot train them high enough to make them effective in the long run. The following stats scale by level: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Ego, and Presence. The following stats receive a flat bonus: Constitution, Recovery, and Endurance. You will get to choose your first Super Stat at level 5 and your second one at level 13. These will be the only two you can choose, but you can retcon (re-choose) both of them if you need to do so. At level 40, the maximum level on Champions Online, you will receive 80 points to each Super Stat.

Choosing your Super Stat should be based on how you wish for your character to perform. You need to take into account the abilities you wish for your character to train as well as your character’s Innate Characteristics and Framework. Which abilities do you want to use? What role do you want your character to play? What do you enjoy doing most in the game? I will admit that this was not an easy choice for me, but one of my favorite things about the game is tossing the scenery at my enemies and laughing as they fall down. That means that my strength is rather vital to what I enjoy doing with my character. Thus, one of my Super Stats is strength, and since my best passive ability is Invulnerability, I picked constitution as my second super stat. For a nuker—an offensive, high-DPS, ranged attacker—a combination of Dexterity and Ego may be a good choice since those stats affect crit chance as well as crit damage. Again, the choice is not permanent, and you may retcon your Super Stats. This will, however, cost resources (CO’s currency).
