Intellect and Super Mechanics
Players can increase their Intellect stat to reduce the cooldown of their Supers.
When you have no intellect and thus 0% cooldown reduction bonus to your super, your super recharges in 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
When you have enough intellect to have 100% cooldown reduction bonus to your super, your super recharges in 3 minutes and 55 seconds (71% of original recharge). Additionally, your kills earn you twice amount of super meter.
Tips for Playing Against Supers in PvP
If you see any enemies pop supers, scatter.
- That's pretty much the counter to every super in the game. Run any direction that is away from the enemy and just wait until they cool off. Usually you don't have time to run, but take the opportunity if it's available. Running toward them or trying to ambush them is what they want you to do.
