Hero Abilities

Above some minimum level of experience, heroes unlock their abilities. When the hero increases in level, the unlocked ability also becomes more powerful. Most heroes have two abilities, one unlocking in the level 8-10 range, and one unlocking in the level 13-17 range. The abilities are briefly described in the encyclopedia. Below you find an annotated list. Most Hero abilities can be turned off in the audience link from the main menu page of the game.

note: 'When in the list below an ability is denoted as (Does Something/LVL), it does NOT mean the hero level, but the level of the ability!.

The easy way to derive the skill level is to take the level of the hero then subtract the level that you get the skill, then add one.

example: A level 10 Alchemist has 2 LVL in his Alchemy ability. Alchemy is unlocked at level (9). A level 10 Alchemist thus has 10 - (9) + 1 = LVL = 2 Alchemy.

Healing (Priestess [Angel] 9, Shieldmaiden [Human] 14):

• It ressurrects 2% + 1% per level. Confirmed. However it truncates the # of units healed instead of rounding up. E.g.,

93 Nymphs are slain during battle. 6 Nymphs are resurrected from death. <--This is 6.45% healed on a Healing 5 (7%) hero. 7% should have been 7 Nymphs if you rounded, because 93x.07 = 6.51.

So it only resurrects a full whole number of units. I.e., at lvl 1 (3%) of Healing, you need to lose 34 of a unit to gain one back. Which is why it's not often seen resurrecting ultimates.
