Announce the Nuke

Tells the team before you drop an area attack, because on many builds it leaves you without endurance afterwards and they need to be ready to cover you.

Where to paste this

Type /macro NAME "command" to create a tray button labelled NAME, then drag it where you want it.
Use /macro_image "IconName" "NAME" "command" instead if you want a proper power icon rather than text.
Type /bind KEY "command" to attach the same thing to a keyboard key.
Chain commands with $$ — /macro Heal "targetcustomnext friend$$powexec_name Heal Other".
Save your layout with /bind_save_file binds.txt and restore it with /bind_load_file binds.txt.

More City of Heroes macros

Blaster macros first, then the rest of the City of Heroes library.

CO
Announce Before You Teleport Someone
General
```
/macro Recall "team Teleporting $target - hold still$$powexec_name Recall Friend"
```
Recall Friend drops the target on top of you with no warning, which is startling mid-fight. Announcing first is basic courtesy and this makes it automatic.
ST
Assassin Strike Opener
Stalker
```
/macro AS "targetcustomnear enemy alive$$powexec_name Assassin's Strike"
```
Targets the nearest enemy and opens with your assassination power from Hide. The whole archetype is built around landing this first strike cleanly.
CO
Bind a Command to a Key
General
```
/bind p "powexec_name Fire Shield"
```
Attaches a command to a keyboard key rather than a tray slot. Binds cost you no tray space at all, which is why serious builds end up almost entirely bound rather than macroed.
BL
Blaster Panic Button
Blaster
```
/macro Run "powexec_name Combat Jumping$$powexec_name Break Free"
```
Fires your self-defence power and starts moving away in one press. Blasters have the least health in the game, and hesitation is what kills them.
BR
Brute Opener
Brute
```
/macro Go "targetcustomnear enemy alive$$powexec_name Taunt"
```
Charges the nearest enemy and starts building Fury immediately. Brutes hit hardest when Fury is high, so the opening seconds of a fight matter more than for other archetypes.
CO
Chain Commands with $$
General
```
/macro TP "team Bringing $target to me!$$powexec_name Recall Friend"
```
The $$ separator runs several commands from one press. Everything except power activation stacks freely, so you can target, announce and fire in a single keystroke.
WA
Consume the Fallen
Warshade
```
/macro Mire "targetcustomnear defeated enemy$$powexec_name Sunless Mire"
```
Warshades feed on defeated enemies for damage and pets. Targeting a corpse and firing in one press is the difference between using the mechanic and forgetting it exists.
MA
Control One Henchman Tier
Mastermind
```
/bind numpad7 "petcompow Battle Drones aggressive"
/bind numpad8 "petcompow Protector Bots defensive"
```
petcompow targets a specific henchman power rather than the whole squad, so your tough tier can hold the line while the fragile tier stays back.
