Overview

Archetypes are a new system introduced to Champions Online with the Free-to-Play conversion. They allow players to simplify Champions Online's open power system to a more simple, class-like system of most MMOs (though open power selection is still available on Freeform Characters). Each archetype is locked into certain Power, Super Stat, Role and Innate Characteristic choices that are designed to fill a certain group role, and is modeled after particular comic book heroes or villains. Customization is still available in the form of Advantages, Talents, and with several choices of powers.

While they are somewhat different from Freeform Characters, archetypes still follow the same rules as custom power selection in terms of prerequisites, and gain the same number of Talent and Advantage points. Archetypes do get fewer powers however, as they are restricted from having multiple builds with different Slotted Passives and Roles. See the Level Progression page for more details.

While Silver Members are restricted to only making archetypes, Gold Members can make pre-built archetypes or Freeform Archetypes. These pre-built archetypes are able to join the archetype-only or unrestricted Hero Games, while Freeform Archetypes may only join unrestricted.
