Heroes are the avatars of the players on the Athanorian battlefield. Your knowledge of your hero\u2019s abilities and the character class are the first steps towards victory! Heroes are divided into six classes within Arena of Valor: Tank, Warrior, Mage, Assassin, Marksman, and Support. <\/p>\n<p>Due to their unique abilities, some heroes can have multiple classes. Players can clearly see the characteristics of the six classes in the hero interface. Aside from this, you can also check the class of their chosen hero at the character selection screen during a match.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QcZiKVZ15xA\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Video by Arena of Valor \/ Level Infinite.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#tank-class-heroes\" >Tank Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#warrior-class-heroes\" >Warrior Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#mage-class-heroes\" >Mage Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#assassin-class-heroes\" >Assassin Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#marksman-class-heroes\" >Marksman Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/guides\/introduction-to-classes-10298.html\/#support-class-heroes\" >Support Class Heroes<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tank-class-heroes\"><\/span>Tank Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tank class heroes fulfill the role of the meat shield of the team. If you\u2019re a fearless warrior who wishes to charge through the forefront of battle, then tank class heroes are undoubtedly the best suited for you. Disrupting the enemy\u2019s formation and drawing their fire is the core use of tank heroes. Thus, they also shoulder the heavy burden of initiating team battles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"warrior-class-heroes\"><\/span>Warrior Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Warrior Class Heroes excels in close quarter melee combat combining the ability of dealing damage and tank. Warrior Class Heroes are the backbone of the team and they are suited to fight in any situation. At the same time, they have multiple item sets and play styles. In a real combat situation, we will prepare item sets based on the team\u2019s composition and battle situation to balance the team\u2019s overall offensive and defensive capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mage-class-heroes\"><\/span>Mage Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mage Class Heroes are the core of the team\u2019s offensive capabilities dishing out large damage via magic. Using their spells and abilities to obliterate everything in their way is what all mages desire. Normally, Mage heroes all have powerful magical damage capabilities and a certain amount of control abilities to ensure that they can quickly defeat enemies with high armor. But due to their poor survivability, they can be vulnerable targets for the enemy\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"assassin-class-heroes\"><\/span>Assassin Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Assassin Class Heroes are the masters of burst damage thus, they are quite difficult to use. If you\u2019re someone who enjoys the thrill of seeing the enemy fall to zero almost instantly then Assassin Class Heroes are your best choice. Assassin Class Heroes often combine excellent movement abilities with damage abilities. However, due to their lower basic HP than other heroes, Assassin Class Heroes rely on the Summoner\u2019s ability to access the situation and timing as well as their mastery over the hero to maximize their potential.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"marksman-class-heroes\"><\/span>Marksman Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Through steady and consistent physical damage, Marksman Class Heroes are also the core of a team\u2019s damage output. Different from the ability based on burst damage of Mages, Marksman prefers suppressing their enemies from afar and dishing out non-stop physical damage. But their fragility and lack of survival skill are their biggest shortcomings putting them in a position where they are dependent on the protection and support of their allies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"support-class-heroes\"><\/span>Support Class Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Support Class Heroes value functionality. Normally, they are unable to deal substantial damage or have noticeable defensive abilities but they have the important missions of protecting their allies, supporting their attacks, and guiding the initiations of team fights. Support players can also be the MVP. According to the different styles of the team, some teams require a tanker support hero who can share the burden of the tank with higher offensive capabilities. Whilst other teams require a functionality-based support hero who can protect teammates in dire situations and provide buffs to control and enhance magical damage.<\/p>\n<p>Your choice is closely tied to the teams\u2019 needs in real combat. A team will need to choose 5 out of the 6 classes above to form. Utilizing different combinations of heroes can bring forth different chemical reactions for the team and the right mix of combinations will allow you to demonstrate your advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heroes are divided into six classes within Arena of Valor: Tank, Warrior, Mage, Assassin, Marksman, and Support. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guides"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hthgaming.com\/aov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
