Heroes List


Crow

The first 5 heroes up to Reaper are free, and initially available to play from the start.

The next 5 heroes from Psion to  TDB cost 25 credits.

All heroes afterwards cost 50 credits.

It is, however, possible to random from from any of the first 10 heroes given the first 5 are already taken and non-picked players have not unlocked any characters. There are no bonuses for randoming heroes.

Basic Information
While each hero has unique roles that they can fulfill and are more suited towards, any hero can be effective in the game given the right build up and play-style. Even hard-supports like the Medic, can do decent damage towards the later game.

By default, most heroes start out with 2.4 (2.3984) movespeed, basic weapon attack, 5 unique ability sets (Q,W,E,R,T), and have some kind of Dash ability. The units that currently have altered forms of Dash include: HERC ( Grapple ), Siege Tank ( Boosters )

Currently, there are 2 types of ability sets in the game: Original System, New System. Heroes inherit one of the two systems. Generally speaking - the traditional heroes retain the Original System and the newer ones have adopted the New System. You can learn more about them by clicking on the links.

In addition to this, there is a Hero Alteration system that allows for even more diverse modification of a hero. Simply put, Hero Alteration allows you to pick options that influence your characters in different ways. Some manipulate basic stat points, others manipulate the effects of abilities. While some Hero Alteration builds are potentially stronger than vanilla builds, the intents of Hero Alteration are not to provide an obvious advantage for those without Hero Alteration - but to provide more variation in gameplay.

Hero Alteration requires hero points, which can be accumulated by successfully earning points with the respective heroes. Not all heroes have the Hero Alteration implementation, the current list of heroes with the Hero Alteration system include: Marine, Medic, Firebat, Ghost, Reaper, Psion, SCV
