Heroes

Eight heroes. The official game page introduces six. Karnok and The Dragons show up on DLC listings and on the Hotfix 19.3 win-rate table. Since 4 Nov 2026 the patch notes say every hero was given to current owners, with DLC delisting on 11 Nov.

Base, DLC, then a grant

Vanessa, Pygmalien, and Dooley shipped with the 13 Aug 2025 game. Mak and Stelle were DLC the same day. Jules followed on 5 Nov 2025, Karnok on 4 Mar 2026, The Dragons on 5 Aug 2026. Each DLC app was priced at $19.99 when the store still sold them. I keep the old DLC app ids on the detail pages so the history is checkable, and I do not tell a new reader to buy a listing that the notes say is coming down.

Hotfix 19.3 published win rate and 10-win rate for all eight. That is one official table, older than patch 20.1. I label it 19.3 everywhere so it is not mistaken for a live ladder.

Questions

Who can a free account play?

The October announcement says Vanessa only, once the free app model starts. Owners were told the full roster was granted on 4 Nov 2026.

How do I pick a first hero?

Vanessa if you are new. Pygmalien if you want the highest 19.3 10-win rate on that table (28.6%). Read the hero page before you lock a plan.
