HyperLeague Heroes features over 30 playable characters–each with their own unique ability that adds an extra layer of strategy to battles, collecting loot, and team building. In this dev diary we’re taking a look at a few of these abilities and the different ways they can turn the tide of battle.
Singe
Singe’s perk, Inspiring Leader, provides a 10% experience buff to all allies when he’s team leader. This makes him not only a reliable damage dealer, but an invaluable ally who can boost your team’s levels while exploring the perilous dungeons of Utopia.
Kingslayer
Kingslayer’s signature ability, Tactical Leader, reduces the special attack cooldown for all allies by 20%. Since this perk only takes effect if Kingslayer is the party’s leader, you’ll have to decide whether Singe or Kingslayer will be taking point. Make sure to choose wisely.
Ice Age
Ice Age’s stats are mid-tier all around, his HP, attack, and speed are fairly low when compared to other heroes like Vipera. But make no mistake, this hero stays cool under pressure with his perk, Icy Touch. With this ability Ice Age has a 15% chance of freezing targets every time he attacks.. Frozen enemies mean free hits, more time to cast buffs, or a chance to land that very crucial heal.
Gunslinger
Gunslinger is part vampire, and as such, he’s strongest when the sun goes down. When dusk settles, he gains 20% more experience–truly a fearsome creature of the night. So, make the most out of your time–and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies under the cloak of darkness.
Sentinel
While exploring dungeons you’ll come across Hidden Rooms, secret areas that may contain loot, shops, hidden bosses, or other surprises. Finding them is a matter of chance. Luckily, Sentinels come equipped with state-of-the-art Radar that increases the odds of stumbling upon these rooms by 50% per Sentinel in your party. If you’re hunting for valuable loot or a rare character like Hellfire, a Sentinel or two on your team might come in handy.
