Hero unit

Hero units (or simply heroes) are a type of unit in Stormgate. 
==Overview==
Hero units feature in the game's campaign, as well as the 3v3 and co-op modes. However, they won't be accessible in the game's 1v1 mode. Heroes do not gain experience, nor are they able to carry items.2023-06-12, The Perfect Mix of Warcraft & Starcraft? Stormgate Developers Deep Dive. YouTube, accessed on 2023-06-14

When starting Co-op, Blockade is free to all players, with progression fully unlocked. Other heroes are free to play until level 5, at which point they must be purchased for continued use. Each hero costs $10 USD.15-06-2024, THE STORMGATE ROADMAP. PlayStormgate, accessed on 2024-06-18
Hero progression is initially capped at level 15. Levels 1-10 feature the "core" linear progression for each hero, expanding their power kit, while levels 11+ open up customization through a gear system. The level cap will be raised later in development. 
Enemy hero units also appear outside the game's three playable factions. They have been listed below for the sake of consistency.

Hero units were designed with feedback from the RTS community. A common thread was that players didn't like heroes in 1v1 competitive games, but enjoyed them in co-op and campaign modes.2023-08-27, StarCraft successor Stormgate is an RTS game everyone can enjoy. PC Games, accessed on 2023-08-28
