History Characters / GloomhavenUnlockableClasses

* MinionMaster: The sheer number of summoning abilities in the character's deck is staggering - not to mention, that some of them create two, or even three minions at once! On the other hand, this tactics is severely limited by her short hand; every such card is effectively Lost the moment it is used, so to avoid exhausting herself, Summoner usually has to keep two or three abilities active at most.

* ArcherArchetype: The only dedicated archer between all playable classes.

* DistressedDamsel: In her personal quest resolution, she gets trapped on the Plane of Water held by a Lurker King. When rescued, she offers a magical staff in payment, helping the party command summoned allies.
* {{Familiar}}: In a way. The Summoner's aggressive spells use four different elements - [[{{KillItWithFire}} Fire]], [[{{BlowYouAway}} Wind]], [[{{DishingOutDirt}} Earth]], and [[{{CastingAShadow}} Darkness]]. Among her summons, there's one for every of these, which Charges it by making a standard attack - and as the summoned minions act immediately before your character does, they effectively serve as a power conduit that allows you (or another party member) to spam particularly strong abilities one after another without wasting the previous turn to set them up.

* SadisticChoice: The Unending Dominance card. You can use it either [[{{HeroicSecondWind}} to restore up to four previously Lost cards]] (which is really important, considering Summoner's limited stamina), or to summon a particularly strong Lava Golem, which can bulldoze through a scenario if properly used and supported. Either option locks out the other one.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Elementalist manages to juggle four basic ElementsOfNature even better than Spellweaver does, with many of his attacks charging or using [[{{AbilityMixing}} two or more at once]]. He is able to wield [[{{LightEmUp}} Light]] and [[{{CastingAShadow}} Dark]] too, although much less proficiently; there is a lore-based reason for that, listed below.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Even among highly specialized unlockable classes, Nightshroud suffers from this the worst. He's too reliant on Darkness and Invisilibility, to the point that he becomes all but useless if he can't benefit from either of these effects. His single-focused Abilities deck also means that Nightshroud can't be used as a tank, as a mage, as a support, or even as a dedicated ''ranged'' damage-dealer.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Downplayed. The two personal quests that unlock him, are focused on exploring the particularly distant and remoted regions of the game map, rather than straight-up violence and killing: However, the Nightshroud himself may have any personal quest, even a virtuous one. His character backstory also says that Nightshrouds, as other Aesthers, are mostly pursuing some hidden secrets and mysteries [[{{TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow}} that Man was not meant to know]], although their methods of finding and learning those are far from cleanest. In addition, his personal quests involve finding and routing out an evil force of assassins known as the Sin-Ra.

* {{Invisibility}}: Uses it the most among all the characters, since it's basically his only means to survive.

A female warrior from an Inox tribe, that is even more aggressive and dangerous than her male counterpart.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: What's worse than a tall muscular well-armed warrior from a race of Inox? A ''female'' warrior from the race of Inox.

* GoodIsNotNice: Or clean, for that matter.

* FriendlyFireProof: Averted, a possible build for the plagueherald focuses on poisoning and damaging allies to make it's own attacks stronger.

* GradualGrinder: Like Mindthief, Sawbones specializes in inflicting nasty status effects to his opponents, and occasionally relieving them from suffering once they have too many. Unlike Mindthief, he focuses on inflicting [[DamageOverTime Wounds]], rather than the [[DamageIncreasingDebuff Poison]].

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Inverted. Despite looking the part, the Sunkeeper is one of the most morally upstanding player characters.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Elementalist manages to juggle four basic ElementsOfNature even better than Spellweaver does, with many of his attacks charging or using [[{{AbilityMixing}} two or more at once]]. He is able to wield [[{{LightEmUp}} Light]] and [[{{CastingAShadow}} Dark]] too, although much less proficiently; there is a lore-based reason for that.

* AttackAnimal: Which even comes with a personal miniature. All other summonables in the game are represented by the simple stock tokens.

* QuantityVsQuality: With the other Vermling character class. They both heavily rely on summons - but while Mindthief uses hordes of rats to do her bidding, Beast Tyrant is based on having a single, but quote formidable ally.

* NoSelfBuffs: The songs that she uses to buff her teammates have no effect on herself. This makes her significantly more inferior in a two-person party, where only one of the players will receive these benefits.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: One of his dooms will grant Pierce 2 to all attacks on the target. He also has several attacks that do extra damage to Doomed foes.
* AttackAnimal: True to his forest huntsman image, Doomstalker can summon several animal allies to his side, such as a falcon, or a boar. Some Doom effects even synergise with them.

* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: As many other characters, Berserker has abilities that allow her to completely ignore incoming damage, although hers explicitly work against attacks that would otherwise be ''lethal''.

* GradualGrinder: Like Mindthief, Sawbones specializes in inflicting nasty status effects to his opponents, and occasionally relieving them from suffering once they have too many. Unlike Mindthief, his prefers the [[DamageOverTime Wound]], rather than the [[DamageIncreasingDebuff Poison]].

* TokenGoodOrc: While most intelligent races of the setting are represented by two classes each, the Plagueherald is the only playable member of the Harrowers, who otherwise act as strong late-game opponents.
