Heroes

Heroes are the playable characters in Orcs Must Die! Unchained. There is two opposing forces fighting against each other, the Order and the Unchained. The Order is a organisation founded to defend the rifts connecting their home world of Centre to the Dark World of the orcs. "The Unchained, it turns out, is some sort of collection of folks who feel as though they got the short end of the magical stick. Many have been stuck on dead worlds for ages, some simply are not content with what they have and want more, and others just like making bloody messes". They are led by Bionka and her Orc generals, who want control of the rifts.

Heroes have up to 6 abilities and all heroes have 12 upgrades in total to choose from when leveling up to enhance their abilities during a match. All of them have a Passive ability that makes effect during the whole match, a Primary and Secondary Attack and 2-3 additional abilities. Heroes level up during a match to a maximum of level 20.
Heroes can be purchased in the Store with Skulls and Gold. Heroes can also be equipped with Vanity in form of Dyes and Skins, they provide no bonuses, just aesthetics.

## Leveling Up

Leveling Up your Hero in-game (Battle level) allows you to gain and choose Hero Upgrades for the Hero's abilities. You can level up by gaining experience, mainly from killing enemies, but there are also Trap Parts that can help. Each level requires more Experience than the last one.

You can choose one upgrade from three choices at Battle Levels 2, 4, 7 and 10. Maximum level is 20 and leveling up also gives you significant stat boosts:

* **+ 2,5% HP per Battle level** (from base)
* **+ 11% damage per Battle level** (from base)

Battle level and hero upgrades are independent for every match, you start at Battle level 1 at the start of every match.

Also leveling Up your account gives your Heroes a Boost:

* **+ ~0,8% HP per Account level** (Multiplicative, from previous level)
* **+ 1,4% damage per Account level** (Multiplicative, from previous level)
