Hero

Heroes are playable characters in Predecessor.

Every Hero has Health, Health Regen, Mana, Mana Regen, Physical Armor, Magical Armor, a base Physical Power value, a base Attack Speed value and Basic Attack Time. Each hero also has a passive, a basic attack, 3 normal abilities and an Ultimate ability.

During a match, two opposing teams select five heroes that accumulate Experience and Gold. As the player gains experience, they can level up their chosen hero, growing more powerful and gaining new abilities. Each level increases a Hero's Statistics and gives them a single Ability Point, that lets them upgrade one of 3 of their abilities up to 5 times, or their Ultimate up to 3 times. Ultimate abilities can only be leveled up at levels 6, 11 and 16. Passive abilities cannot be upgraded, although some have scaling values based on a Hero's level.

The amount of by how much a Statistic will increase with each level is determined by a Stat Growth number. At level 2, all Heroes get Health, Health Regen, Mana, Mana Regen, Physical Armor, Magical Armor, Physical Power and Attack Speed equal to 80% of its respective Stat Growth number. The value increases by 2.5% with each level, meaning at level 10 they get 100% of the Stat Growth value and at level 18 they get 120% of the Stat Growth value.

All heroes have a distinct category that defines how they affect the battlefield. These roles are: Assassin, Carry, Bruiser, Frontline, Mage and Support. Each Hero also has specific roles they perform the best at, these roles being: ADC, Support, Jungle, Midlane and Offlane.
