Experience
The experience system is a way for heroes to empower and customize their abilities during a match.
Levels
Players begin a match at level 1 with one skill point, and by gaining experience can reach a maximum of level 10. Each level grants the player a Skill Point (or Upgrade) which is used to upgrade skills to deal more damage, apply different effects to allies and enemies, or even change the function of the skill entirely. Upon reaching Level 5 the player can also chose a talent – a special passive trait - for free without consuming a skill point.
Your hero's level is displayed in the bottom right corner of the center of the screen, while your skill points are displayed in the bottom left corner. The scoreboard shows the current level of all heroes in the match.
Levels have no effect on base stats such as Health and Stamina.
