power kill is when you kill useing an ego power..critical kill is when you kill an enemy with a critical hit such as a headshot
Power kill is when you have an active Ego power still in use when you kill something.
Critical kill is when you kill something by hitting their weak spot. I.e. Head or Glowie bits.
You get bonus xp for these types of kill as well. E.g. a regular kill up at Sutro Tower on a Dark Matter Enforcer gives me 25xp, but if I cloak, land a critical with a sniper on an enemy that is attacking a turret, I get Power Kill, Critical Kill and Rescue Kill all at the same time which adds an extra 15xp for a total of 40xp.
In PvP you'll also notice Avenger Kills, and string kills together in PvP or PvE for Chain Kills, again these seem to give extra xp.
Thank you!!
No offense.. Seriously but you think these 2 things would be obvious. You'll only get a power kill when your power is activated. Oh well, you got what ya needed:
