The Hero class boasts the highest base Strength stat with high Vigor, making it one of the most recommended classes for beginners. This class also has an average base Endurance, so players won't have to worry much about stamina in the early game.
Additionally, this class can easily be built as a damage dealer by investing Runes on Strength early on.
This class starts with 9 Mind and 7 Intelligence—the lowest base value of these two stats among all classes—making this class a poor choice for those looking for flashy spells. For players who are looking for a balance of physical and magic attacks, the Prisoner class would be a better choice.
It is recommended for Heroes to level up Vigor and Strength early. You can prioritize investing in Vigor until you can last long enough in combat, as you can enhance your weapon if you feel the need to increase your attack damage instead of using up all your Runes on Strength right off the bat.
Raising your Endurance will give a boost to your stamina and physical defense, two things no Hero should be withhout. This will allow you to attack and parry more in battle.
