Only Henchmen may be given orders and aggression stances. Henchmen are different from traditional pets in several ways. Masterminds were the only Archetype not to get a new Primary powerset in Issue 12.Ī Mastermind's secondary power sets are designed for buffing and debuffing. This behavior depends on the Mastermind's Combat Level, not his Threat Level, so Lackeying and Malefactoring can affect it. The second-tier Henchman power also undergoes changes like this – it begins by summoning one equal-level minion, then changes to summoning two -1 Henchmen at level 24. Then, at level 18, the power changes further and instead summons three minions at the Mastermind's level -2. Specifically, once a Mastermind hits level 6, their first Henchman power stops summoning one minion at the Mastermind's level and starts summoning two at the Mastermind's level -1. Unlike other pet-summoning powers, Henchman-summoning powers change as the Mastermind gains levels. They also gain access to one Henchman upgrading power at level 6 and another at level 32. Masterminds gain access to their first type of Henchman at level 1, their second type at level 12, and their third type at level 26. All of the Mastermind primaries have a common structure. The Mastermind has Low Hit Points and Medium DamageĪ Mastermind's primary power sets are designed specifically for summoning. The Mastermind is a difficult class to play, often demanding constant attention to control your minions and stave off the retribution of your enemies. You can summon them when needed, order them to work your will, and even use your powers to enhance them or weaken your foes. Whatever your choice, you have an army of minions at your beck and call. Perhaps you build killer robots, command deadly ninja, order hardened soldiers or street thugs, or summon the undead to do your bidding. As a Mastermind, you excel at using others to do your dirty work.
