  Oh, and I'd also kind of like to go with his main weapon being a sword, but having one arm be a cannon. I forget which powers make it look that way, but if possible I'd love to have it in my build.

  Not much practical reason to mix hand blaster-type attacks w/ a melee tank build, but I guess you can include one for a long-ranged tagging option. Here's an example build:
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Tank)
  v3.45:38
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Constitution (Primary)
  Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary)
  Level 15: Endurance (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
  Level 6: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 9: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
  Level 12: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
  Level 15: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
  Level 18: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
  Level 21: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Laser Edge
  Level 1: Lightspeed Strike (Rank 2, Particle Acceleration, Challenge!)
  Level 6: Unified Theory
  Level 8: Invulnerability (Rank 2, Rank 3)

  Level 14: Lightwave Slash (Rank 2, Burn Bright, Challenge!)
  Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)
  Level 20: Luminescent Slash (Rank 2, Rank 3, Challenge!)
  Level 23: Tactical Missiles (Blast Radius, Challenge!)
  Level 26: Endorphin Rush (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 29: Laser Deflection (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 32: Lightspeed Dash
  Level 35:
  Level 38:
  Adv. Points: 32/36
  
  Travel Powers
  Level 6:
  Level 35:
  
  Specializations
  Constitution: Unyielding (1/2)
  Constitution: Fuel My Fire (3/3)
  Constitution: Resilient (2/2)
  Constitution: Adrenaline Rush (2/2)
  Constitution: Armored (2/2)
  Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
  Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
  Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
  Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
  Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
  Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
  Warden: Elusive (2/2)
  Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
  Mastery: Constitution Mastery (1/1)
  
  The last 2-3 powers can be w/e ya want.
  
  For single-targets, it uses Lightspeed Strike for PBurn and Disintegrate, and also throws in Lumi Slash when energy is abundant for some extra dmg/threat. Lightweave Slash can be the main, wide AoE attack (though Lightspeed Strike can also cleave). Tac Missiles isn't a main attack here (nor will it hit that hard), but can be used as a long-ranged tag. Gears mostly for Con, w/ some Dex and End (and some cost discount on gear).

  Hi! Saw the request, and figured link you to an older post 'cause it looks like what you might want. https://account.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline/#/discussion/1217424/megaman-zero-build
  
  That one's a fun one and gives a fun ranged option to Laser Sword Tanking without taking away from it.

  Mine is similar to Flow's. Take out what you want for the hand canon. I use the device to give me a ranged opener when I am soloing things. Handles Cosmics, TA, solo QWZ, Eido just fine.
