!!Ronan, the Peacemaker

'''Associated tropes:'''
* BadassLongcoat: Impressively, for an Ottrekin.
* BlindWeaponmaster: Was blinded by some outsiders who accused him and his brother of robbing them. He's still completely capable of gunslinging, and his skills allow him to locate the enemy, presumably by using sounds.

!!Flin & Sgt. Buttersworth

''Veteran of a hundred fierce battles in the southern jungles, crusty and confident "Colonel" Flin is always happy to invite himself into a scrap. He has two advantages; his old beetle comrade "Sergeant" Buttersworth, and his new command of Valor Vitality. If only these twigsnappers would heed his vast experience...''

* AttackReflector: Can only do this with non-shaper units. Passively, all non-shaper damage is blocked, then returned at a 500% rate of the blocked damage. It makes him incredibly hardy while jungling and tanking minions during trades.
* FastballSpecial: One of his abilities lets Flin launch himself into the fray, stunning enemies he hits. He then gets stunned himself. Fortunately, Flin has no health bar of his own to worry about, and the player can continue to control his mount as normal until he gets back on again.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Most of the threat comes from his large, tough beetle mount: Sgt. Buttersworth.
* LightningBruiser: Though rather a "Tank" than a Bruiser, his ultimate first grants a movement speed boost to himself and his allies. The boost on himself is 50%, taking him to rapid speeds.
* OldSoldier: Eager to fight wars, especially so that he can tell the tale later. It is also the basis on which he bonded with his Spirit of Valor.

!!Viridian, the Abyssal

''Among the eastern Shorewind tribe, Viridian hunted whales with only a knife, diving alone into the dark and cold to provide meat, blubber, and oil. Even to his tribe, his blessings are horrifying, and before he bonded with the Spirit of Finesse, he lived alone and apart.''

* GlassCannon: He can deal a lot of damage very quickly but does not take hits well. He prefers to stay out of sight until he can slide in, burst down an important target and get out.
* KnifeNut: Tosses around a lot of knives.

!! Kensu, the Mistwalker

''The Iteshi of western Suzutai turned their backs to the Spirits, snaring souls at the moment of death. Their isles are haunted now by the misplaced desires and regrets of the bound dead. Hunters must keep them in check, and the finest is Kensu and his Spirit of Conviction.''

* ArcherArchetype: Follows it pretty closely. He is especially mysterious given his line of work in, essentially, ghost busting.
* GlassCannon: A ranged carry.

* Determinator: Gets a stat amplifier when he drops below half-health, making him either tougher to take down or more deadly, depending on what he built. Most Baskos will combine this with the many items in the game that give bonuses on near-death, making him even more nightmarish upon losing health.
* LightningBruiser: Tough, tanky, and able to hop around the battlefield quite a bit. Not so bad on the damage side of things either.

!!Renzo, !! Tess, the SculptorSky Captain

''Coarse, exuberant, and unrestrained, Tess and her pirate crew terrorized shipping along the Jeweled Coast of the west. After years of fruitless tinkering and experiments, the coming of the Spirit of Defiance granted her life-long dream; a ship that can sail among the clouds.''

* ActionGirl
* AnchorsAway: Her ultimate has her flying ship drag an anchor across the battlefield.
* AnythingThatMoves: She is a thrill seeker even in this sense. According to her, she's slept with members of her crew, even the ones she didn't like.
* FragileSpeedster: Tess' main selling point is her ability to hop on board her weapon and drive it to her location of choice, allowing her to roam and reach fights quickly.
* GlassCannon: A ranged carry. Most of her damage comes from the burst of abilities and her true-damage passive going off all at once when she enters a fight.

Added DiffLines:

* BattleBoomerang: Of two kinds, the small one in her hand used for auto-attacks, and the large one on her back, Birraga, used for her ultimate, Final Flight.


Added DiffLines:

* FragileSpeedster: Has a sprinting ability with a passive permanent haste buff to step up her movement speed. This is also supposedly the Spirit of Pursuit's specialty in general.


Added DiffLines:

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Birraga acts as such when thrown for her ultimate. Wierdly enough though, all of the other ones thrown do not. Not for her auto-attack, and not for any of her other abilities. She simply regains another one everytime. In either case, she has the benefit of being a Shaper to explain it.

!!Sakari, the Bride of Winter

''Every decade, Sakari's tribe set their most beloved youth adrift on an ice flow, offered as a spouse to the Spirits of the north for good weather and fine hunting. She doesn't speak of what happened, but returned frost-brittle and bearing the Spirit of Inevitability.''

* AnIcePerson
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sakari has something of a mental age of someone many years younger than herself. Whether it is to do with her being offered to the spirits or with her being bound to a spirit herself is a mystery, but she isn't all there 100% of the time.
* MightyGlacier: Deceptively tough. Sakari's passive constantly buffs her armour as she deals damage with abilities. A bonus that scales with power, even, making her tougher if she builds offensively. Though it does take some build focus to completely overcome the usual [[SquishyWizard mage squishiness]] fully, given her lack of magic resistance otherwise, it is a likely approach given her need to constantly apply her spells and get in close.
* WinterRoyalLady: Kind of. Though in either case, her developmental name was "Snow Queen", and the developers directly cite {{Film/Frozen}} as the inspiration for her design.

* StoneWall: Renzo's offensive capabilities are minimal. In return, not only can he be hard to take down, he can share some of that beefiness with his lane partner via shields. A Renzo active in generating enough inspiration to make the shield heal can keep the lane topped up and healthy.

Clients at her salon pay handsomely for hours on the arms of clever and charming companions, enjoying refined conversation and recitals… but the lady holds herself aloof, the Spirit of Elegance her only company.''

* MadScientist: Experiments and tortures various "research subjects" for various reasons, as well as satisfying his own curiosity. He shows no remorse when these experiments create tortured beings like Vex and end up killing orphans. Of course, this is par for the course in Miridia.

* {{Expy}}: His feral demeanor, marksman role, ability set, and obsession with meat are all very reminiscent of [[Characters/LeagueOfLegendsKToL Kog'Maw]], albeit with more spikes and less spit. Although like all Shapers in Dawngate, he seems to borrow from a few of [[Videogame/LeagueOfLegends Leagues]] Champions at once.
