ZSGG Academy of Orion Warfare

Your Battlefield Commander

You choose your hero at the beginning of the game. Each faction and merc faction may contain one or more heroes from which you can select one (When playing as Legion, you do not get access to merc heroes, but also can have all 3 of Legion's heroes on the battlefield at once after building their Altar, although you still only have one available at the beginning of the game).

Your hero is not as powerful as heroes in other RTS games. They are basically a one-per-battlefield Tier 2 spellcaster unit you get at the beginning of the game. They do scale their HP and damage alongside your faction XP level. They also respawn automatically after a delay when they die

In the early game, your hero is vital for securing XP towers. In the late game, they're more like a good versatile army unit.
