I’d like to start a topic to discuss about heroes.
###Stats
First, here is a table of available heros, along with their stats:
| name | type | cost | damage | health | speed | skills |
|--------------------|---------|-------|--------|--------|-------|----------------------------|
| Anya Weston | warrior | free | 120% | 140% | 6 | |
| Tharin Thunderfist | warrior | free | 120% | 140% | 6 | |
| Amara Arrowhead | ranger | 400 | 100% | 120% | 10 | |
| Miss Hushbaum | wizard | 630 | 120% | 140% | 7 | |
| Hattori Hanzo | warrior | 1000 | 180% | 71% | 8 | warcry |
| Senick Steelclaw | ranger | 1400 | 140% | 180% | 6 | heal |
| Omarn Brewstone | wizard | 1800 | 83% | 120% | 11 | throw |
| Naria of the Leaf | ranger | 2500 | 83% | 160% | 11 | envenom, hide |
| Pender Spellbane | wizard | 3400 | 160% | 50% | 14 | mana blast, reset cooldown |
| Arryn Stonewall | warrior | 4600 | 63% | 100% | 14 | warcry, throw |
| Nalfar Cryptor | wizard | 6300 | 71% | 200% | 10 | cast sacrifice, devour |
| Okar Stompfoot | warrior | 12000 | 160% | 200% | 4 | stomp, throw, hurl |
Health, damage
Health is very important, mostly for the melee heroes (warriors).
As we already know from this topic, the attack damage and the health received from items is scaled based on the hero’s stats. Note: the scaling applies only to weapon damage, not spells.
For warriors: the worn dragonplate armor/helm/shield has a very good price/value ratio.
For wizards: I suggest the embroidered griffin wool robe and the griffin wool hat (the embroidered hat is just too overpriced)
For rangers: I can’t recommend anything for the moment.
Speed
Speed is also important. However, you can greatly improve your speed by using the speed ring (+5 m/s, 2900 gems) and some boots (+2…2.5 m/s, 100…710 gems). Note: these items can be used by all heroes.
Thus, poor Tharin/Anya can go up to 13.5 m/s (more than double the original), while the maximum available speed is with Pender/Arryn: 21.5 m/s
Balance
As in so many things in life, balance is important. Having a slow but powerful hero (Tharin) not enough for all situations. And vice versa: a quick but fragile hero (Pender) can cause difficulties, too.
Please this post if you find it useful. Thanks!
