“When all hope is lost, Defenders stand resolute in defense of your team.

Original Description:
“In the heat of battle, wounds are merely minor annoyances to Brawler heroes, whose bloodlust and battle frenzy fuel their strength and resilience.

Disruptor
Disruptors are your battlefield tacticians/Debuffer. They weaken enemies, control initiative, and create openings for your other units to strike hard.
- Primary Stats: Speed, initiative

“Manipulation of the balance of power in battle is the principal role of Disruptors. They focus on applying powerful disables and debuffs on foes while manipulating turn order and divinity powers. When pure power fails, the Disruptor lurks in the shadows to control the battle.”
Slayer
