Special Heroes & Abilities

Special Heroes & Abilities

Since the hero-pedia in the game was fairly lacking in terms of diversity (it's missing tons of the older heroes), I decided to go ahead and release this hero update. Some of the hero names or details may be incorrect, so feel free to post corrections in the comment section below. Some of the newest heroes may be missing in this guide; I'll add them later. They should be listed in the game so feel free to check them out there. Scroll to the bottom to view all the joint combat boosts.

Note: When I state 60% of damage is dealt, this does not mean that the enemy hero loses 60% health. Rather, the enemy target receives 60% of the attacking hero's normal damage.
