Added DiffLines:

* MagikarpPower: His low starting Wit and Spirit make it difficult for him to use spells (and thus harness his ability's power) early in games. Once he completes a couple of quests to improve those stats, he can routinely cycle three or more spells every couple of turns, making Brun ''the'' toughest hero in direct combat stat-wise, along with all the benefits of spell use.


Added DiffLines:

* DifficultButAwesome: Playing him well requires knowing how to work without very many spell or trickery cards (due to having a hand full of equipment), when to switch equipment out (including during your opponent's turns), and when you can afford to burn some of your equipment cards. Mastering all of this gives you unparalleled versatility to deal with any situation.

!!The Stranger

->Clingy. Fickle. Misleading.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: One of the reasons he leads you in a random direction at the start of your turn.
* {{Gonk}}: What would you expect from a bone-thin hairless cat with a perpetually twitching eye?
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He can potentially switch from one hero to an adjacent one at the end of his current hero's turn. It's theoretically possible for him to swap between all four players in a single round.
* PersonaNonGrata: It's unclear why, but the King refuses to let the Stranger inside his palace. The only clue is that the Stranger apparently sees the King as an "old friend".

WarriorPrince: He's heir to the Wolf clan, and is leading the charge with his fighting skills to take the throne of Armello for himself.



* JackOfStats: 3 Spirit, 4 in all other stats. Her Talent, which is based on attacking, makes her a little less this than Amber though.
* SkillGateCharacter: Her Talent makes getting Kingslayer much easier if you fall behind (especially on the final turn of the game), as well as helps with attacking. However, her status as a JackOfAllStats and lack of any other strengths means that she likely ''will'' fall behind unless you luck into a strong early game. Against players who know well enough to make sure to prevent other heroes from reaching the palace, she falters.



* MagicallyIneptFighter: Starts with just 2 Spirit, meaning he has to invest early on to effectively use spells.



* GlassCannon: Boasts naturally high Fighting ability, but doesn't have a lot of Health to work with.

SilkHidingSteel: Behind the dress and the polite manners is a curious and talented explorer who is fearless, even when faced with ruffians who just murdered her companion.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: Ignoring his actual ears, it's hard to see how anyone would sponsor him, with his childish cluelessness, for the position of king. And yet, he's just as capable at fighting, adventuring, or winning people over as any of the other heroes.
* ChildProdigy: He's the youngest of the heroes by far, and apparently a master tinker/smith already.
* CloudCuckoolander: He earned the title of Screwloose for a reason. Half of his emotes indicate he has no real clue what is going on or what any of the victory conditions actually ''mean''.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Twiss starts with a pathetic fight score, wields a wooden dagger carved out of an acorn, has to use her tail like a pogo stick just to reach the other heroes to hit them, and every time she's injured has the unique animation of dropping a handful of acorns. It's nearly impossible for her to kill the king nor farm banes for prestige. However, she has near constant evade status giving her {{Nigh-Invulnerability}} to people melee attacking her, while her points into Wits and Spirit make her a very powerful spellcaster.

Depending on the "advice" of his most trusted advisor (making them pick between one of 2 proclamations with varying degrees of [[SadisticChoice sadism]] involved) he can order things like taxing all heroes, releasing criminals from his dungeon to run rampant in the land (appearing as perils), or sacrificing his own guards to summon more Banes.

* InadequateInheritor: While popular and well-regarded for his battle skills among the Wolves, his father had no taste for Thane's carefree attitude, believing he wasn't capable of leading the clan.

* GenocideBackfire: The King ordered all thieves wiped from the capital, and his guard responded by [[KillThePoor slaughtering the destitute]] and anyone deemed unscrupulous.
