Baldwin, Hawkins & Lazaro

* Also known as: *"The Bird Doctors"*

The Bird Doctors are three unlockable Heroes, each of different affinity. They were added to the game in Patch v1.2.0.

These three Heroes were added to the game 2020-09-01: Baldwin (Strength), Hawkins (Spirit), and Lazaro (Mind). Each of them are designed around tribal type synergy, giving players the power to develop new deck types for these Heroes through the card submission process. The concept of a "main tribe" is central to their designs.

The Bird Doctors share a common pool of emotes.

Each of the three bird doctors have the exact same passive. They also share the same level 4 reward: Genesis Strain. Genesis Strain always has your main tribe.

# Background and Lore

Essentially nothing is officially known about the flavor of the Bird Doctors. They all seem to have a doctoral degree of a different field.

Lazaro Reisis's artstation post about the arts, which also contains sketches of the arts, have these fields named but it is unknown whether they are exactly lore accurate or might they have been just prompts for the art commission - or even something the artist came up with. They are listed as follows: Hawkins as a nurse, Baldwin as a neurologist, and Lazaro as a lab technician.

# Shared Mechanics

## Main tribe

Your main tribe is determined as the most numerous tribe shared by your units in your starting deck.

## Passive

*+1 EXP each turn if you control two units in your main tribe.*

This same passive is shared by all of the Bird Doctors.

## Sequences

* Bird Doctor Sequences
* Core Sequence
* Primordial Sequence
* Experimental Sequence

Each of the three Sequences has your main tribe. Sequences are the level up rewards for level 2 of the Bird Doctors. They're all illustrated by Lazaro Reisis.

# Changelog

* Baldwin's active ability used to cost no mana to activate.
* Hawkins' active ability used to cost 2 mana to activate.
* Lazaro's active ability's buff used to be a permanent effect for all cards in play. For example, activating it twice meant that all units you have in play or would later on play have +2/+2.

# Trivia

* Lazaro shares a name with the illustrator of the Bird Doctors.
* Originally Genesis Strain didn't have a tribe at all but people requested it to have the main tribe, so the devs changed it to have it.
