Archetype

Archetypes in Gigantic describe how a hero plays, with each hero categorized as either a single archetype or a hybrid of two:

• Assassin – Heroes that excel at quickly bursting down low health targets, then quickly escaping
• Bruiser – Heroes that deal decent damage on the frontline, but have to retreat when focused by the enemy
• Caster – Heroes that deal damage with magic and spells
• Control – Heroes that control large areas of the battlefield with their abilities
• Fighter – Heroes that have the combination of mobility, evasion, and damage to both ambush low health targets and scrap in the middle of team fights.
• Healer – Heroes that focus on healing their allies
• Shooter – Heroes that deal damage with guns and bows
• Summoner – Heroes that summon allies to fight alongside them
• Tank – Durable heroes that can survive for extended periods on the front line.
• Utility – Heroes that provide extra utility for teammates such as super jump pads and temporary buffs
