Remember this is with SOs.

Depends on a few things.

 

The whole game is technically balanced around SOs, so your shouldn't be getting your butt kicked too hard unless you have the difficulty cranked.

 

Is there a reason you have both Fly and Super Speed?

 

You took fly and hover at very low levels, meaning you only have 1 attack if you ever exemplar below 15.

 

Are you willing to spend a lot on an IO build?

 

My current Inv/SS is a pretty good build, but with the recent changes to Inv my psi resist is probably higher than it needs to be, and I'm trying to fit in laser beam eyes for both concept and having a ranged attack reasons.  When I get to my computer later today (currently on my phone) I'll post both builds and you can see what you like and don't like.  But like I said, you'll have to be willing to spend a pretty penny to get there.

 

Inv/SS is a very popular combo.  Both because it can be very powerful and also it's the "classic hero" combination.  If you're impatient try doing some searches in the forum, you'll find lots of build.

The rules for scaling down SOs as you exemplar can be a little tricky since it's not as simple as just being x% of what the original values are.  There are a few exceptions and limitations that apply.  I think Mid's can calculate your overall values based on exemplar level.  Check the maths settings dialog.  That would be easier.  There might be a few places you want to add extra SOs if you plan to do a lot of very low level (15-25) exemplaring but anything above that the scaling effect is pretty minimal. 

 

Here are the rules:

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Exemplar_Effects_on_Enhancements

 

An interesting clause in those rules is the minimum bonus rule.  SOs of 20% or less won't scale down until you go below level 21.    Reason that's interesting is that your level 53 Resistance and Defense SOs are 23%.  If you'd left them as level 50 SOs they'd be 20% and immune to scaling down until you went below level 21.  Something to play with in Mid's though I never have myself.  I wonder if they account for some of these weird rules.

 

I'm with @Psyonico though, you want to rearrange some powers if exemplaring as low as 15 or 20 for the first few TFs/SFs is important to you.  Your resists will be scaled down a lot by that point so you might want to see about putting Boxing/Tough below 20.  Buy all the prestige attacks from P2W and use them when you're on those low level TFs.  Use Athletic/Ninja/Beast run and a temp jetpack for movement.  It's not great, but fast travel isn't nearly as important, especially if you're tanking for a TF, as your survival stats.

Shouldn't he be named Limited Man, as obviously you are limiting him to SOs?
