Drow Ranger
The starting hero with exceptional mobility! Boasting high movement speed, she synergizes best with attack speed, projectile count, and ricochet. Perfect for beginners to get a feel for the game and enjoy satisfying crowd clearing.
Tauren Chieftain
A tank with incredibly high health! Pair him with the "Start at Half HP" and "More Damage at Low HP" talents to fight more fiercely as you take damage. His last-hitting and counter-attack capabilities are immense, ideal for players who love to stand their ground.
Lina
Every 3rd shot triggers a Flame Blast, dealing area-of-effect damage and applying a burning effect. A top-tier fire damage dealer; combine her with fire skills for a powerful, sustained burn build.
Juggernaut
Gains a dash skill. After dashing, he leaves behind a clone to attack enemies. The clone inherits some of your stats, making him perfect for clone or summoner playstyles. Offers a highly engaging, skill-based experience.
Razor
Bullets deal additional chain lightning damage on hit! Combine with lightning skills and the Evil Eye projectile effect for absolutely explosive screen-clearing power. A top choice for players seeking pure, satisfying chaos.
Shadow Fiend
When an enemy dies, it spawns a soul that continues to chase down foes. The core summoner hero. Pair him with summon-enhancing skills to build an undead army that turns the tide against the horde!
Crystal Maiden
Every 6th shot creates an ice orb that freezes and damages enemies. When combined with ice skills and rapid fire, she can cover the entire screen in ice orbs. Her crowd control is unparalleled, perfect for players who enjoy a kiting playstyle.
Each hero features a unique mechanic and talent direction, from fiery bursts and lightning clears to summoner armies and freezing control. There's a playstyle waiting for you!
Dark Bow
The ranger's standard weapon. Steady, reliable, and well-balanced in attack speed. A solid all-rounder suitable for any hero.
Mithril Carbine
Dwarven firearms with short range but a wide area of effect. An excellent tool for close-quarters crowd clearing, perfect for point-blank burst builds.
Siege Crossbow
Automatically charges up when standing still, increasing pierce and damage. Requires a certain rhythm, making it suitable for fixed-position, high-damage playstyles.
Flamelock
Fires superheated shots that deal burn damage to enemies hit. The perfect match for Lina, enabling a sustained burn build.
Twin-Headed Dragon
A pair of roaring pistols. Consumes 2 ammo per shot for devastating burst potential. Ideal for players chasing instant, high damage numbers.
Mini Drones
Summons 2 mini drones that track and attack enemies. They benefit from both projectile and summon damage bonuses! The top choice for summoner builds, perfect for Shadow Fiend and Juggernaut.
Crystal Cannon
Fires a devastating cannonball dealing area-of-effect explosive damage. Extremely powerful, but be mindful of positioning to avoid hurting yourself.
Phoenix Crossbow
Fired arrows stick into the ground and are retrieved after a while, damaging enemies on their return flight. Highly tactical and excellent for players who enjoy strategic placement.
Every weapon has a unique attack method and preferred heroes. The triple combination of Weapon + Hero + Talent creates an ever-changing array of battle styles!

Offense Talents
Enhance attack speed, reload speed, elemental damage conduction, summon damage, and more.
