Trivia[]
- Power Sting was introduced in July 2015 with Yellowjacket 's release. It remained exclusive to him for nearly 3 years until Wasp 's release in July 2018.
- Scorpion 's Sting Burst Damage and Void 's Dark Sting Debuff both function similarly to Power Sting, but neither counts as one.
- For a Special 1 or 2, Power Sting triggers on activation of the attack, which can potentially knock out an Opponent before they land the Special.
- For a Special 3, Power Sting triggers at the end of the attack. If a Champion knocks out their Opponent with a Special 3 while suffering from Power Sting, they do not take the burst of damage.
- Power Sting is one of Superior Kang 's targeted Debuffs, and can be added to his archive.
