The server is introducing new powersets for the Guardian, too, many of them obviously based on the original sets, but there are some new ones too. We’re guessing it plays a bit like the Homecoming Sentinel, but a little more blappery and tanky. The centerpiece of the release is, of course, the titular Guardian archetype, which combines the Dominator’s Assault powersets with a new secondary powerset type called Composition, which itself has a little bit in common with the original Defender and Tanker sets as they offer protection and support. Indeed, the server’s offerings have expanded quite a bit this week with the launch of Rebirth Issue 1: Guardians Rising. Readers will recall that Rebirth was the server born from the original City of Heroes Discord and as established in 2019 it was intended to be a version of the game “ as the original developers intended for you to experience it” based on the Issue 24 beta, though the devs always had plans to add in more of the content that was under development when the sunset hit. But its first major update is a whopper worthy of attention.

Rebirth might be one of the smaller rogue servers in the City of Heroes community, particularly compared to the largest batch according to its own website as I type this on Wednesday morning, only around 25 people are in there right now.
