Crowd Control

From CO-Wiki

Overview

There are several types of powers that can disable a character temporarily in Champions Online. Most operate on a system of a "health" and a duration. As damage is dealt to the hold (by various means based on the hold type), its health is reduced, and when it reaches zero, the hold is broken. Most holds will then apply a stacking Hold Resist.

+Hold strength means more hold health applied to your holds. Sentinel gives +20% hold strength and there are some primary utility pieces that give +15% hold strength.
