Overview

V archetypeicon mastermind.png

The Mastermind may well be the most complex archetype in City of Villains. Much of your power comes from the various Henchmen (or "pets") you can summon to your side, such as the living dead, a band of ninja, several mechanized monstrosities, or a team of mercenaries. Since you must simultaneously control your character and the minions you command, the Mastermind is a daunting archetype. Of course, it's also one of the more powerful archetypes in the game; no one but a Mastermind can function as a one-man group!

As a Mastermind, you'll play very differently from other villains, primarily due to your ability to summon henchmen. In City of Villains, there are four types of henchmen: Zombies, Ninja, Robots, and Soldiers. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the deciding factor in combat is how these pets are controlled by you, their master. You need to be aware of your surroundings at all times, since the well-being of your henchmen is vital to your own—a Mastermind without henchmen is easy prey.

The Mastermind's power sets are:

Primary: Summon
Secondary: Buff

The Mastermind has Low Hit Points and Medium Damage.
