Looking for an AT toon with multiple knockbacks..for fun

[local986guy3]

After playing CoH there are certain powers that we gravitate towards and those we tend to stay away from.  One fairly consistent power that comes up for me is "Knockback". Sometimes I have a baddie in my sights only to have him knocked away by another toon.

 

Just for fun, and in theming a clumsy knockback toon, I'm looking for help from the CoH community to create "the most knockback" toon.  Controller? Dom? Storm?   Help me track down some options for this unusual toon. No wrong answers...just fun.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.

I'd vote energy/storm or storm/energy Corruptor/defender

@local986guy3, welcome!  here is a nice thread you may want to read through about options for KB and various ATs.  

 

But if you want a toon with the most KB, then @Psyonico is right and Energy Blast + Storm, either Defender or Corruptor will give you the most KB.

I’d say gravity control could be up there as well. Does wormhole could as kb?

Gravity has 3 powers that do KB (Propel, Wormhole and Singularity) plus one that does KU (Lift). Energy Blast has 8.

How does Forcefield compare to Storm? Also, what do you think about Bots on a Mastermind? Do they still do knockback?

[Psyonico]

Storm has the following powers that do knock back

 

Gale

Hurricane

Tornado

Lightning Storm

 

And Freezing Rain does knock down

 

Forcefield has

 

Repulsion Bolt

Repulsion Field

 

And Force Bomb does knock down

This.

 

Whatever you pair it with, EB is the King of KB.

If you're interested in knockdown instead of knockback this thread has some good ideas:

 

 

I eventually settled on a fire/storm controller for this idea. The idea is that once bonfire, tornado, and lightning storm are set up they can knockdown while you're casting other powers. knockdown while you knockdown! Bonfire is particularly strong because it has such a fast recharge you can have multiple up per spawn.

MMs can pick up Bonfire in their Epic pool, so Bots/Storm/Pyre should be pretty great
