The Lost Vikings form an incredibly unique Support hero. The player is in control of three separate heroes with different stats and passive effects, which are controlled in an [[RealTimeStrategy RTS]] style. Olaf the Stout is the tankiest of the three, but is the only melee attacker and deals the least damage. Every few seconds, his attack charges him towards the target, and he will also begin rapidly restoring his health while out of combat. Baleog the Fierce throws his sword, which gives him an [=AoE=] cone effect on his basic attacks. He deals the most damage of the Vikings and has moderate health. Erik the Swift has the fastest attack speed, higher-than-average movement speed, and the longest range, but he's the squishiest by far. Their trait, ''Viking Hoard'', permanently increases all Vikings' health regeneration every time a Viking collects a Regeneration Globe. Additionally, each Viking only gives 25% of the normal XP when they're killed. Each Viking also has a separate Hearthstone, and drinking from a Healing Fountain with one Viking grants the healing effect to all three. Unlike most heroes, The Lost Vikings possess no basic abilities, but can potentially gain abilities with talents.\\

Qhira is a mobile Melee Assassin who zeroes in on targets and scores the kill. Her trait, ''Grappling Hook'', fires a skillshot that pulls Qhira to the first enemy hero or piece of terrain it hits. Her first basic ability, ''Carnage'', stabs her sword in a direction, damaging enemies. ''Blood Rage'', her second ability, passively causes her attacks and abilities to apply a stacking DamageOverTime bleed. When activated, Qhira deals damage to all afflicted enemies and heals herself based on how many bleed stacks they had. Her final basic ability, ''Revolving Sweep'', lashes her sword out. If she hits an enemy hero, she attaches, becoming untargetable as she revolves around them while dealing damage to enemies between her and the target. Qhira can reactivate before the skill ends to dash at the target, stunning them and knocking them back.\\

* AchillesHeel: Because playing The Lost Vikings means splitting your attention to watch three places at once and each of them has low individual health, they're easy prey for stealth heroes in particular. Not paying attention to the right place at the right time usually results in one of these instantly deleting a Viking from the map before the player can react.

* AwesomeButImpractical: ''Longboat Raid!'' allows the Vikings to board an Unstoppable Viking ship that rains cannon fire and mortars on enemies and gives them a ThemeMusicPowerUp, letting them deal a surprising amount of damage in teamfights. However, its mortars are telegraphed and relatively simple to dodge, and its cannon fire can't be aimed, meaning it'll often be wasted on enemy Tanks. Also, while it's Unstoppable, the longboat is still relatively fragile and easy to kill, and [[TotalPartyKill if the boat dies, the Vikings will likely not last much longer]]. Finally, ''Longboat Raid!'' requires all Vikings to be near each other to be used, meaning it encourages the player to bunch up the Vikings and taking away their biggest advantage: being able to do other things while your team grabs the enemy's attention (usually while Olaf helps out with his relative bulk and charge ability). As such, you'll almost always see veteran Vikings go for the much more flexible ''Play Again!'' instead.

* DeathIsCheap: Unlike [[VideoGame/{{Dota2}} Meepo]], they can be killed separately. On top of that, they each only count as a quarter of a hero kill, so even a TotalPartyKill won't reward the enemy team as if they killed a normal hero. Turned UpToEleven with one of their [[LimitBreak Heroic]] abilities, which lets any single viking instantly resurrect any dead viking, fully heal all three, and ''summon them all to his location.'' Thought you had the upper hand when you killed off Olaf and Baleog and cornered that wounded Erik? Think again...

* AchillesHeel: Because playing The Lost Vikings means splitting your attention to watch three places at once and each of them has low individual health, they're easy prey for stealth heroes in particular. Not paying attention to the right place at the right time usually results in one of these instantly deleting a Viking from the map before the player can react.
* ExperienceBooster: They're a walking trio of these. Having three bodies between them means that a good Viking player can soak experience from every unattended lane at once, freeing up the rest of their team to take objectives, ganks, and fights without having to worry about losing out on experience.
Changed line(s) 66 (click to see context) from:
* MagikarpPower: Early game, Olaf is too squishy to tank effectively for the trio, let alone the 5-player team at large, and Baleog and Eric’s damage output isn't great enough to let them win even a 3-on-1 fight against a normal hero without losses. Once they get some Talents under their belt, their damage output spikes much further and they can shred heroes and forts, and while Olaf never really reaches ImplacableMan status, he becomes tough enough to serve as a distraction while the others do their thing. Add to it all the utility many of their Talents conveys, and they can become a versatile and deadly wrecking crew by the end of the game.

The fact that everyone's still in lane doesn't help either, since it's hard for them to soak experience without getting bullied out. Once they get some Talents under their belt, their damage output spikes much further and they can shred heroes and forts, and while Olaf never really reaches ImplacableMan status, he becomes tough enough to serve as a distraction while the others do their thing. Furthermore, from the mid-game onward when everyone is rotating around and scrambling for objectives, the Vikings become free to split-soak experience to their heart's content, letting them snowball their team's experience lead. Add to it all the utility many of their Talents conveys, and they can become a versatile and deadly wrecking crew by the end of the game.

* CooldownManipulation: ''Shadow Waltz'''s five-second cooldown is instead set to two seconds if it hits a hero. It also gives back its mana cost + 5 when doing so for extra SpamAttack, and causes her to dash a short distance on her next movement order.

* AwesomeButImpractical: ''Eternal Feast'' deals area of effect damage that can potentially repeat ''indefinitely'' as long as it keeps hitting heroes... ''if'' you can actually get it to hit anything. It's majorly telegraphed by a 1.5 second start-up time, meaning that nobody with half a brain is going to just stand there and take even the first hit (much less more than one), and given Orphea's complete lack of crowd control aside from a minor slow in ''Dread'', she'll need a lot of lockdown from her teammates to justify picking it over ''Crushing Jaws'', which actually lets her set up combos on her own.
Changed line(s) 156 (click to see context) from:
* {{Combos}}: A large source of Orphea's damage are her empowered Basic Attacks. She needs to weave Basic Attacks in-between her abilities to get the maximum value out of her Chaos stacks. Her ideal combo at the start is Dread-Shadow Waltz-dash forward-Basic Attack-Chomp-Basic Attack. With ''Crushing Jaws'', the combo becomes even deadlier. It deals enough damage to kill Orphea and is nearly unavoidable if she can flank the enemy.

She offers virtually no utility aside from ''Crushing Jaws'', her ability to take mercenaries is miserable, and she can't do significant damage against any [=PvE=] objective aside from maybe the Infernal Shrine guardians.

** Baelog the Fierce is a GlassCannon and an Assassin. He’s less durable than Olaf, but has higher damage output than both. Unlike Olaf, he’s traded in his old [[BowAndSwordInAccord sword and bow combo]] in favour of [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks tossing]] an [[BottomlessMagazines infinite supply]] of easily {{breakable| weapons}} [[CoolSword swords]] at foes. These swords shatter into shrapnel, damaging enemies behind the victim for a percentage of the damage dealt to the primary target; Baelog can use this HerdHittingAttack to break minion and merc sieges or attack multiple buildings at once with the right positioning, and can be upgraded via talents to deal extra damage to non-Heroic targets with his splash damage, take back some of his damage as health via LifeDrain and/or increase his attack speed the longer he attacks; even without these upgrades he can be a terror in the right hands.
** Erik the Swift is a FragileSpeedster and a Specialist. He is far more fragile than his friends, but also much faster on foot. Reflecting his lack of combat training compared to his contemporaries, he has to fall back on a [[BratsWithSlingshots slingshot]] for a weapon. His damage is only so much better than Olaf’s; in truth, he’s more of a utility Viking. Erik can become TheSneakyGuy by entering stealth after standing still for a few seconds, which also extends his line-of-sight, allowing him to camp a lane and spy on the enemy at the same time; he can upgrade his basic attacks to destroy ammo in towers and forts while dealing extra damage to them; he can even gain the ability to literally ''[[WalkItOff run]]'' [[WalkItOff off]] damage with a certain talent. These abilities combine with each other and Eric’s impressive running speed to make him a useful character, especially since he can attack more quickly and at a longer range than Baelog and is thus better suited to chase down enemies, but beware -- take your eyes off him for too long or let him get surrounded by stronger foes and [[JustForPun he’s history]].
