The only hero unlocked by default, the Warrior is focused around armor and general survivability. He starts with a potion bandolier (velvet pouch since 0.9.3), 3 throwing stones (tier-1 thrown weapon), a worn shortsword as a weapon and cloth armor with a broken seal affixed to it.
He no longer starts with an extra point of strength, and he now doesn't receive a disadvantage to using thrown weapons.
Characteristics[]
Warrior starts with the Broken Seal as his unique item.
 |
||
| A wax seal, affixed to armor as a symbol of valor. All the markings on the seal have worn off with age and it is broken in half down the middle.A memento from his home, the seal helps the warrior persevere. While wearing the seal the warrior will slowly generate shielding on top of his health based on the quality of his armor. The seal can be affixed to armor, and moved between armors. It can carry a single upgrade with it. |
||
When affixed to armor the seal generates 1 point of shield every 30 turns. The shield doesn't decay over time, but it's capped at tier + level of the armor worn (as in a +1 tier-2 armor will cause the Broken Seal to grant a maximum of 3 shielding). It can also transfer a single upgrade applied to the armor while the seal is affixed to it, so it is highly recommended that the Warrior's first scroll of upgrade is used on the cloth armor. The Broken Seal can only be affixed to identified armor, and that armor cannot be cursed. However, it will still work if the armor becomes cursed while it is attached.
Warrior now automatically identifies the scroll of rage and potion of healing, rather than the potion of strength.

Gladiator[]
| Gladiator | ||
| The Gladiator builds one point of combo every time he makes a successful attack with a melee or thrown weapon. If the Gladiator does not make a successful attack within 5 turns, his combo is reset.As combo builds it unlocks a variety of combo abilities. A new ability becomes available at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 combo. Some abilities help build more combo, while others let the Gladiator spend his combo on powerful attacks. | ||
Hitting enemies with physical attacks (melee or missile weapons) generates combo. Unlike in vanilla PD combo doesn't increase attack damage, but allows the Hero to execute special moves.
 |
||
| The gladiator builds momentum as they land successful blows. Each attack increases the combo counter by one, but taking too long between hits will reset the combo counter to 0.Building combo unlocks special combo attacks that cannot miss! A different attack is unlocked at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 combo count. Some moves reset combo and some do not, but each move can only be used once per combo session. | ||
After any successful attack the combo counter increases by 1. However it resets after not hitting anything for 5 turns (the timer can be extended by killing any enemy if you invested in cleave talent). After gathering at least 2 combo points a new button appears on the screen which lets the Hero execute a special move. Any move can be chosen with enough combo points, however each move can be used only once per combo and any move except Clobber and Parry resets the combo counter.
Special moves:
- At 2 combo, Clobber becomes available:
| Clobber knocks an enemy back 2 tiles, but deals no damage and cannot knock into pits. Increments combo by 1. | ||
- At 4 combo, Slam becomes available:
| Slam deals combo*20% of your armor's blocking power as bonus damage. Resets combo when used. | ||
- At 6 combo, Parry becomes available:
| Parry blocks the next attack within 1 turn when activated, and instantly retaliates to it. Resets combo if nothing is parried. | ||
- At 8 combo, Crush becomes available:
| Crush deals combo*25% of your melee damage to the primary target, and half that damage to all other enemies in a 7x7 AOE. Resets combo when used. | ||
- At 10 combo, Fury becomes available:
| Fury hits an enemy once for each combo you have, each hit deals 60% damage and can trigger enchantments. Resets combo when used. | ||
Combo move overview:
| Move | Combo | Damage Multiplier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clobber | 2 | 0% | Knocks back enemy two spaces, can't push to chasms and traps. |
| Slam | 4 | 100% | Damage is increased by the Gladiatior's armor's DR roll * 0.2 * combo. |
| Riposte | 6 | 100% | Exeuted automatically after parrying an attack. |
| Crush | 8 | 25% * combo | Deals 50% of the damage to all enemies in 7x7 AoE. |
| Fury | 10 | 60% | Attacks as many times as there is combo; 10 combo will attack 10 times. |

||
Berserker[]
| Berserker | ||
| The Berserker gains rage as he takes physical damage, including damage that gets blocked by his armor! Rage steadily fades away over time, but fades more slowly if he is at low HP.The Berserker deals up to +50% damage at 100% rage. At 100% rage he can also go berserk, gaining 2-6x his seal's maximum shielding depending on his missing health and keeping his rage at 100% as long as he has shielding left. However, the Berserker needs time to recover after he goes berserk. | ||
Berserker gains rage by taking physical damage (before any damage reduction is applied). However, after not taking damage for 2 turns, he loses 6.7% x (HP / max HP)^2 of remaining rage every following turn; having lower health causes it to decrease much slower.
 |
||
| The severity of the berserker's injuries strengthen his blows. As the berserker takes physical damage, his rage will build, granting him bonus damage. Damage which is blocked by armor still counts towards building rage.Rage will fade over time. The lower the berserker's health, the longer it will last.If the berserker is brought to 0 hp while at full rage, and is wearing his seal, he will go berserk and refuse to die for a short time. Current Rage: X%+Y% damage |
||
Rage will cause the Berserker to deal bonus physical damage; at 100% rage he will deal 50% more damage, lower amounts of rage will multiply this boost by their percentage (i.e. 90% rage will increase damage by 45%). With enraged catalyst talent active, enchantment proc rate is increased alongside with damage. While rage can exceed 100% if endless rage talent is active, bonus damage and enchantment proc rate won't increase further.
 |
||
| Fear and uncertainty bleed away, leaving only anger. In this state the Berserker is extremely powerful, dealing +50% damage and gaining bonus shielding.This bonus shielding is equal to 2x his seal's max shielding, increasing to 6x if he has very low health. When this shielding is reduced to 0, berserking will end. After raging, the Berserker will need to recover before being able to build rage again. |
||
At 100% or more rage, Berserker can use berserk ability to gain bonus shielding. He will also automatically start berserking upon being reduced to 0 HP if he has deathless fury talent active, this takes priority over a blessed Ankh. Berserking grants (2 + 4 x (1 - (HP/max HP))^3) x max seal points of shielding, further increased by any rage above 100%. As long as the shielding holds, Berserker doesn't lose any rage. However, he loses 2.5% of remaining shielding, rounded up. When it's depleted, he loses all rage and needs to recover before he can gain rage again.
 |
||
| Inner strength has its limits. The berserker must rest before using his rage again.While recovering the berserker does not build any rage from taking damage. Normal: Turns until recovered: X Live-saving: Levels until recovered: Y |
||
The Berserker will have to recover after berserking, and will be unable to gain rage until he does so. Recovering takes 100 turns, or, if berserking prevented death, 4/3/2 levels of experience depending on the level of deathless fury talent. The recovery time/XP needed is reduced by any rage over 100% Berserker had before recovering.
