Champions Online is a 3D free to play superhero-themed MMORPG. It is developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Atari.

Champions online is an unique game with really in-depth character creation. There are unbelievably many ways to customize your own character and there are so many different

cloths and other equipments where to choose from, so it is almost impossible to find two exactly same looking champions in the game.

The player can choose the archetype from eight different heroes, there is also possibility to pay for example "gold members" can even combine own superpowers:
1.The Behemoth
- You are an unstoppable juggernaut of raw strength who can take a lot of punishment. Your crushing blows send enemies flying or can stun them into submission.

2.The Blade
- You are trained in the ancient arts of martial combat and have mastered the way of the sword. You are deadly in close combat, your focused strikes swiftly cutting down any
who dares stand against you.

3.The Glacier
- You are able to create ice and cold out of thin air and manipulate it various ways. You blast your foes with ice shards, trap them in solid blocks of ice, then shatter them
with only a thought.

4.The Grimoire
- You have unlocked mysterious arcane secrets. You use this knowledge to weave powerful magic into auras, sigils, and spells designed to confound your enemies and protect your

allies.

5.The Inferno
- You control the devastating element of fire, creating and shaping it to your will. Whether hurling flaming projectiles or erupting into a deadly firestorm, you leave a

blazing swath of destruction in your wake.

6.The Mind
- You have tapped into powerful psychic energies. You use your mental might to lash out at opponents and reach into their psyches to make their darkest nightmares real.

7.The Marksman
- You are an expert with the bow, and your precision and finesse allow you to take foes down from long range. Your arsenal of arrows provides you with the tools for many
situations.

8.The Soldier
- You possess a formidable arsenal of military weapons and know how to use them. From heavy pistols and assault rifles to rockets and sniper rifles, you are the ultimate one-

man army.

There are also "Special" archetypes that are available for purchase in C-Store by Silver Members but are free for Gold Members:
1.The Savage
- You are a vicious hybrid of man and beast with powers far greater than either. You rip apart enemies with your razor-sharp claws and teeth while rapidly healing your own
injuries.

2.The Specialist
- You are an expert at taking down your target with whatever means necessary. You are well trained with pistols and swords, alternating between them in combat with deadly
quickness.

faster with cool different ways:

In Champions Online your character has the ability to select one of three skills which will allow them to craft items that they will be able to use over the course of their
superhero career. The three skill choices are:
1.Arms
- When selecting Arms as a Skill, the Characteristic focuses are on Endurance, Constitution and Strength. Arms has no access to Presence at all.

2.Mysticism
- The Characteristics that are produced in Mysticism Upgrades focus on Ego, Presence and Recovery and nothing is produced with Constitution.

3.Science
- The upgrades crafted in Science usually have Characteristics that have high Intelligence, Endurance and Dexterity characteristics. Science has access to all characteristics,

though it's likely to produce items with less Presence than Mysticism and less Constitution than Arms.
