As an Arcosian, your transformations exist to limit your power. The natural strength you were born with is so overwhelming that it damages not only your stamina just to keep it under control but it even gnaws at your sanity. Once you’ve been able to get that under control, however, you found that the power you held in such high regard has its limits. Those limits do not stop you, however. With fierce determination, you sought greater power and you found it: a new transformation, born from the very principle that once held your power back. By taking that concept to the opposite extreme, you’ve created an evolution that will not back down against any opponent. Your foes will fear your new might.

Apex Evolution: You’ve managed to create a Transformation that, unlike most mutants of your kind, increases your power rather than suppressing it.
(1)-[Permanent]: You cannot enter this Transformation if you possess the Emperor Factor Trait and your base Tier of Power is less than 4. Upon gaining access to this Transformation, if you possess the Emperor Factor Trait, this Transformation is Fully Mastered.
(2)-[Permanent, Passive]: Upon gaining access to this Transformation, select 2 Evolution Traits. You have access to those Evolution Traits while you are in this Transformation.
(3)-[Permanent, Passive]: Upon gaining access to this Transformation, select an additional effect for the 2nd effect of Survivor. You gain access to that effect while you are in this Transformation.
(4)-[1/Round]: As a Standard Action with an Action Cost of 1 Action, you may enter the Overwhelming Focus Special State.
(5)-[Passive]: Gain access to the Apex Challenge Special Maneuver.
Overwhelming Focus Special State
Overwhelming Focus
(1)-[Passive]: While you are in this State, your Plating gains the Mask of the Strongest Special Apparel Quality.
(2)-[Automatic]: If you leave this Transformation, except to enter a Evolved Stage for Super Evolution, you leave this State.
(3)-[Automatic/Start of Turn]: Spend 2 stacks of Overwhelm. If you do not have 2 stacks of Overwhelm to spend, leave this State.
Mask of the Strongest Special Apparel Quality
Mask of the Strongest: A keratinous mouthguard hides the vulnerable parts of your face, as intrinsically part of you as your bio-armor.
–Apparel Category: Armor
–Prerequisites: Access to the Super Evolution Transformation
–Quality Slots: 1
–Effects: Increase your Combat Rolls and Damage Reduction by 1/2 (rounded up) of the Apparel Bonus.
Apex Challenge Special Maneuver
Apex Challenge [1/Round]: Taking advantage of the opening created when your Opponent is focused on attacking you, you charge in and counterattack.
–Maneuver Type: Counter Maneuver
–Action Cost: 1 Counter Action
–KP Cost: 4(T)
–Effect: When you are targeted by an Opponent’s Attacking Maneuver, you may forgo your Dodge Roll to use this Maneuver. Before your Opponent rolls their Wound Roll for that Attacking Maneuver, make a Wound Roll as if you made an Attacking Maneuver of the Simple Profile (any Foundation). You may spend any amount of Ki Points to increase the Dice Score of this Wound Roll by an equal amount. If the Dice Score of your Wound Roll exceeds that of the Opponent, you take no Damage from that Attacking Maneuver and enter the Superior State until the end of your next turn.
If you enter the Superior State through this effect, you may then use the Basic Attack Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver and, if you do, you may apply the Charging Assault Advantage to that Attacking Maneuver. You must include the Opponent that made the Attacking Maneuver that Apex Challenge was used in response to as a target for this Attacking Maneuver.
Unstoppable Brutality: The overpowering fighting style you’ve developed grows even more brutal as you become a violent monster on the battlefield.
(1)-[Passive]: Increase your maximum number of Overwhelm stacks to 6.
(2)-[Passive]: Instead of losing all stacks of Overwhelm through the 2nd effect of Overwhelming Fighter, you only lose 2 stacks of Overwhelm.
(3)-[Passive]: For every 2 stacks of Overwhelm you possess, increase your Damage Reduction by 1(T).
(4)-[1/Round]: As an Instant Maneuver, you may spend 2 stacks of Overwhelm to use the Basic Attack Maneuver, Signature Technique Maneuver, or Energy Charge Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver.
(5)-[Triggered]: If an effect would make you enter the Superior State while you are already in the Superior State, that effect instead gives you a stack of Overwhelm.
(6)-[Triggered, 1/Encounter]: If you use the Energy Charge Maneuver, you may maximize your stacks of Overwhelm.
Mastery Trait
Powerful Evolution (1): The increased might of your new form comes more easily to you.
(1)-[Permanent]: Super Evolution loses M levels of the Draining and Power High Aspects.
(2)-[Passive]: While you are in the Superior State, double the amount of Overwhelm Stacks you gain through the 1st effect of Overwhelming Fighter.
(3)-[Triggered/Superior, M/Encounter]: Gain 2 stacks of Overwhelm.
(4)-[Triggered/Start of Turn, M/Encounter]: Apply the effects of Legend Realized if you do not have access to the Emperor Mutation Trait.
Mighty Evolution (2): The superiority of your Transformation becomes painfully obvious to all who witness your power.
(1)-[Permanent]: You cannot master Super Evolution for the 3rd time unless your base Tier of Power is 4+.
(2)-[Passive]: Ignore the 2nd effect of the Superior State.
(3)-[Triggered/Power, 1/Round]: You may spend 2 stacks of Overwhelm to enter the Superior State until the start of your next turn.
Superior Evolution (3): By pushing your power to its absolute maximum and beyond, you shatter the barrier of limitation and unleash power enough to create a new legend.
(1)-[Triggered/Overwhelming Focus]: Super Evolution becomes a Legendary Form until you leave the Overwhelming Focus State.
(2)-[Constant]: If you use the Transformation Maneuver to enter Super Evolution, you may increase its Stress Test Requirement by 9 for the duration of that Transformation Maneuver. If you succeed at the Stress Test and successfully enter the Transformation, you may enter the Overwhelming Focus State.
(3)-[Passive]: While this Transformation is a Legendary Form, increase the Stress Test Requirement of this Transformation by 9 and its Attribute Modifier Bonus (AG/FO/TE/IN/MA) by 1(T).
(4)-[Passive]: While this Transformation is a Legendary Form, it gains the Armored Aspect and 2 more levels of the Scaling Aspect.
Legendary Trait
Apex Domination: Your aggressive nature manifests most clearly in your strongest techniques, allowing you to destroy the opposition with brutal efficiency.
(1)-[Passive]: Increase your maximum number of Overwhelm stacks by 1.
(2)-[Passive]: While you possess 2+ stacks of Overwhelm, increase your Might by 1(T).
(3)-[Passive]: Double the amount of Overwhelm stacks you gain through the 5th effect of Unstoppable Brutality.
(4)-[Triggered, 1/Round]: At the start of an Opponent’s turn who is not at Long Range, you may make a Might Clash against an Opponent. If you win, they gain the Compelled Combat Condition with you as the target.
(5)-[Triggered, 1/Encounter]: If you use an Ultimate Signature Technique, you may apply either the All Out or Complete Annihilation Super Profile to that Attacking Maneuver.
