Hero
Karsu

What Karsu gains per rank
A hero climbs C → B → A → S — 3 upgrades in all. Every stat rises at the same rate on every hero, with one exception: the primary stat of the class rises three to four times faster. For Karsu that stat is Attack speed.
| Stats | Per rank | C → S |
|---|---|---|
| Health | +12.5% | +37.5% |
| Defence | +8 | +24 |
| Attack | +6 | +18 |
| Magic | +6 | +18 |
| Attack speedprimary | +20 | +60 |
| Crit | +4 | +12 |
| Mana regen | +1 | +3 |
Health rises as a percentage of base health; every other stat is a flat addition. The specialization is chosen at rank B, and the class modifier pools open at A and S.
