Roles Refined

Subrole Passives

Core gameplay gets refined with sub-role passives designed to reinforce your Hero identity. Instead of generic bonuses, you and your Heroes now gain specialized passive traits that align directly with their purpose, playstyle, and strengths. 

• Sub-role passives replace one-size-fits-all mechanics. 

• These specialized traits trigger through performance, not background stats. 

• Hero Select becomes a strategic choice with specific and clear tactical impact. 

• Team coordination improves through clearer role definition.
