A Reference Site for Serious CoH Players
(Villains Cordially Invited)

Welcome to HEROICA! 2019!!

We're back. I can't fraggin' believe we're back!

This is a very quick and rough update of a website I really should have pulled down years ago. I'm glad I didn't.

The old front page, in its entirety, obsolete comments and links intact, is below. For right now, I assume you're here to get the fully updated and renamed City of Heroes/City of Villains Technical Guide.

So here it is, all 75 pages of it:

Right-click to save the PDF file locally. Enjoy!

See you around Paragon City, Excelsior dimension!

Welcome to HEROICA!

I long ago brought this page into existence because I thought the City of Heroes player community - and now the City of Villains community as well - could use a good central site for game information. There's any number of CoH sites, including the official one and the CoH Warcry site, and some of them are very good places to visit. I still thought there was room for one more, a site really dedicated to the serious player looking for concise, useful information about the game... and also a central site that maintains up-to-date links to the other worthwhile pages. Okay, it's never become that central hub... but we've got some good stuff here anyway.

The main resource here is the Keybind, Macro & Emote Guide, which has just been updated with the Issue 14 stuff.

Contributions are welcome - let me know what you have! I'm particularly interested in good, complete, accurate lists of CoH features that are not well-represented on other sites. Got a list of Enhancement prices, Task Force details, or other useful compendiums? Let me know!

You can contact me about anything on this site, or anything CoH-related, at the address below. Sorry it's a graphic; I try to keep from feeding the spam-bots whenever possible.

You can also ping me in the game if you're on Victory or Virtue. I'm on many evenings, US Pacific time.

See you around Paragon City, Victory/Virtue dimensions!
