The Butcher
Rip has the highest health in the game at 1,250 and converts it into Attack — his damage scales on Max Health, not on Attack. Dropping below half health, on him or on an adjacent enemy, refreshes all his Rush windows, so he is designed to be at the centre of the worst part of the board.
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 Rip that stat is Health.
| Stats | Per rank | C → S |
|---|---|---|
| Healthprimary | +25% | +75% |
| Defence | +8 | +24 |
| Attack | +6 | +18 |
| Magic | +6 | +18 |
| Attack speed | +5 | +15 |
| 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.
For Rush (10), gain 5% Max Health Attack. Whenever Rip or an enemy adjacent to him first drops below 50% Max HP, refresh all of his Rush abilities and gain 2% Max Health Attack Speed.
A hero unlocks one of these at rank B. The choice is locked for the run, and it decides which role the hero ends up playing.
