Each hero belongs to a particular class. Scrappers are melee fighters and have better offence at the expense of defense. They are marked with a red fist icon. Blasters attack from long range. They are better suited in the back, blasting opponents from a safe distance. They are marked by a purple crosshair icon. Bruisers are useful for handling large groups. Although they do less damage, they have increased health and defense. They are marked by a green shield icon. Generalists do not excel in a single particular role, but also do not have a specific weakness. They are useful for general missions. Each mission has a recommended hero type. Choose a team layout that is best suited for that mission type.
