HERO OVERVIEW

Some heroes have the same primary class, however every class has a unique Tier 3 ability.  There are 12 heroes in total, with 8 unique primary classes.  This results in over 40 unique abilities and over 25 unique weapons.

Many of the classes have a different play style and different feel, so make sure you try them all to find the hero that best suits your play style.

Note: At some stage we will be adding links to each ability and weapon for more detailed information.

Devil Dog
