Power Drain removes a certain amount of power from the affected character(s)' power bars, preventing the use of Special Attacks. Unlike most status effects, blocking only reduces its effectiveness, while all other status effects are either completely negated or completely unaffected by block.

For normal power drain specials, hitting an opponent with them gives you a small amount of power. The power given to the target for being hit (if not blocked) is given after the power drain is calculated.

Power can be converted into points, more power values at more points. According to the drain/steal power objectives in Phantom Zone, a bar of power is equal to 50 points, and Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad's power trick on SP2 also gives 50 points of power, equal to a bar.

Special Attacks[]

Special 1[]

Special 1 Power Drain usually drains 75 units of power (1.5 bars).

Special 2[]

Special 2 Power Drain drains more power, but is obviously less versatile. They drain 100 units of power (2 bars).

Passives[]

  • Sinestro/Antimatter has a passive that drains 2 bars of power on SP1.
  • Martian Manhunter/Prime's combo ender has a chance to power drain.
  • Raven/Regime's basic attacks will power drain when her health falls below 40%.
  • Raven/Teen Titans's specials have a chance to drain power after the special ends.
  • Catwoman/Ame-Comi's combo ender has a 25% chance to slowly drain power over time.
  • Raven/Rebirth can siphon the opponent's power if it is greater than her's.
  • Aquaman/Regime's passive allows his super move to drain all power from the enemy team. This power drain used to be unique in that it ignored all forms of power drain immunity and invulnerability, but this was later changed and now they will prevent his power drain as well.
  • Black Adam/Kahndaq is able to power drain upon using both of his specials and his combo-ender.
  • Zatanna/Prime may randomly pick "Power Drain" with her special 2, which is tied to her passive.
  • Green Arrow/Rebirth has a Power Drain not only on his SP1, but also on his Trick Arrows and Trap Arrows. His Power Drain Trap Arrow is a special case, which will drain the exact amount of power of the Special the opponent attempts to use. It will work even on Power-Drain immune characters.
  • Nightwing/Batman Ninja allows all teammates to drain 50% of enemy power upon tag in.
  • Catwoman/Batman Ninja's basic attacks inflict massive power drain while RAGE is active.

Power Drain damage[]

Many traditional forms of power drain are denoted by a small amount of additional damage, an extra hit of flat damage that indicates the amount of power drained, in "units" rather than bars. Despite being displayed, damage is not actually dealt, but it is counted in the match-end damage dealt statistic. This is particularly noticeable for Nightwing/Prime or Lex Luthor/Prime with very low stats, as this "damage" would have constituted a significant portion of their damage dealt.

This can never crit and is not increased by special damage boosts (not even bleed), increasing the character's stats, special minigame performance, or the special's upgrades. It is not reduced by special damage reduction or special reflect, but is reduced by universal damage reduction (Batman Ninja Helmet reduces it, according to the power level before the drain) and negated by Invulnerability or anything that completely negates a special. This extra hit is also removed when the target has power drain immunity, but not if power drain is reversed by the 2-piece LexCorp Set effect. It is reduced by block, which also reduces power drain accordingly - although the reduction is 25%, same as for basics, not the 50% for specials. Unless otherwise stated, this is the mechanism precise amounts of power drain is derived, since it is impossible to physically measure it directly.

Trivia[]

  • In older versions of the game, a card's rarity locks its power drain capacity, on both special 1 and 2.
    • A Bronze character drains 50.
    • A Silver drains 75.
    • A Gold drains 100.
