Nice concept @the_One_and_Only1!

They only have one skill that does damage. This is more of a control role not damage role

Other than that really good concept!

Well, to follow up on that, I was getting tired of labeling most of my heroes as Control, as it was a recurring theme in my hero library. It’s something I’m currently trying to avoid, just so I can level everything out evenly.

But, since their is only one damage skill, and more control and support skills, this cannot be damage

I think they could be damage :man_shrugging:
Green and Blue boost skill power (and thus damage) for white, purple steals energy for white
They would just be very white skill dependent


On an unrelated note, the red skill is pretty weird :thinking:
Only way for an ally to deal damage to another ally is by charm, and removing skill power from this ally just disadvantages them after the charm ends

Um… should Captain Amelia, Peter Pan, and Anger not count as Damage role heroes as well, then? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

He has 2 damaging skills
But your right, the point is damage heroes aren’t just about doing damage, they can also have skills that help them increase it

… I forgot Tinker Bell actually does damage and doesn’t just debuff enemies. :sweat_smile:

I was gonna say: name 3 heroes labeled with Damage roles and hardly any Damage skills, but then I learned how to read…
