The Contagious Confusion proc in the purple set is really good here because every affected enemy has a chance to proc a small area confuse around it, meaning you can get many overlapping confuses and turn BP from a power that can only confuse minions to one that can sometimes get LTs and bosses. In general, it makes the confuse effect much more likely to land even on just the minions

The set also packs a hefty 5% range defense bonus among other things.

Remember though that Team Teleport is not the same as Assemble the Team. Team Teleport is a 30ft AoE version of Teleport, where Assemble the Team is a global version of Recall Friend that doesn't care where anyone is located.

Anyway if you actually have a character with TT you can create an AE mission with a mob that has Confusion as its only power, and try it.

What did you mean you made that?

I zoned into the last mission of a Khan TF with my bots/traps and started killing my team by accident. Somebody's damage aura had set off my pets. It was going surprisingly well for me, mostly due to confusion, until the fire/kin used fulcrum shift.

There are a lot of ways you can take advantage of KM's damage self-buff/enemy debuff. The three "best", in my opinion only, are the following, for the following reasons.

KM/Willpower - KM's damage debuffs stack incredibly well with the regen in Rise to the Challenge to make enemies unable to drop this combo. Not only that, but Quick Recovery will help handle the slightly high endurance cost of the primary. Solid protection and low downtime, but, unfortunately, no bonus to damage. This won't let you kill as quickly as the other two, but you won't need to IO it to crazy extents in order for it to do a great job.

KM/Elec - While the damage aura isn't as nice as /Fire, this build offers more protection, added recharge, more steady recovery/regeneration via Energize, and a T9 that will let you stand toe to toe with an AV for its duration, and then ends with a mini-nuke. It won't be as protected as a KM/Willpower, but you'll find yourself dealing more damage and still being able to hold your own.

KM/Shield - This is the ultimate, high octane build for a KM character, in my opinion. Let's see what we've got here:
-Defense you can softcap with IO's? Check.
-Resistance for the 5% of enemy attacks you can't dodge? Check.
-Damage debuffs to lower the 5% of enemy attacks you can't dodge, effectively boosting your resistance? Check.
-Health boost so that you can take more weakened enemy punches when they DO get through your defense AND resistance? Check.
-Self damage boost in the form of Siphon Power? Check.
-Self damage boost in the form of Against All Odds, a toggle that stacks with Siphon Power to turn you into a kinetic cannon? Check.

Yep. While this combination lacks a heal, it has extremely hard hitting attacks thanks to the combination of Against All Odds and Siphon Power, and can take a major beating with the layered defenses of /Shield. Make your build to softcap defense, and then focus on recovery and recharge. If you can stand the one-handed KM animations (the shield is in the other hand), you'll have a scrapper that hits like a truck while shrugging off almost everything the game can throw its way.

KM/SR and KM/Regen are also great combos, but if I had to lay my top three down, the three I've described in detail would be my suggestion, especially KM/Shield (for those of you with deep enough pockets to give it the IO'ing it needs to become fully rounded).

Not as versatile as Ouroboros would be, but better than nothing.

Soul Drain? Eh, I'd recommend something else as the PPP version has double the recharge. FS and SP should take care of your buffing needs. Also, while it does sleep like a bad idea for squishies to be in melee, kinetics greatly encourages it once you get FS. Basically it's a jump in, use FS, and then back off to just outside of transfusion's effect range. Siphon speed doesn't help matters, especially once you've grown accustomed to keeping it double stacked and even triple stacked depending on your IO build. Suggestion for that - take hover as it will slow you down enough to have some movement control while under siphon speed effects. Hover's also good for hovering over a spawn, just outside their melee range. This lets you get all of your buffs with less risk.

It is criminal that it's so hard to get lasers in a superhero game and that there is no player orbital laser attack. I want time-stopping chronofields, disintegration beams, orbital strikes, and a cruise missile attack where I do the O-portal wrist tap animation and a Tomahawk flies in and blows up everything.
