Prince Aidan

Hero of Tristram

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "WHY VARK WHY IS AIDAN A SPECIALIST AND NOT A WARRIOR" to which I say "calm ur titties friend. also **** u here it goes"

Aidan is a bit of a lone-wolf dude. I'm bringing back the feel of playing Diablo 1, your main focus in the early game is getting stronger by killing minions and mercenaries. When you get stronger you become more of a powerful bruiser who can help a lot more in team fights. Aidan's base stats don't scale as much as other heroes, but you can choose to increase your stats with every talent-tier.

HP: 1996 +3.5%
Attack: 88 + 3.5%
Attack Speed: 1.2
Mana: 500 + 0%
Mana Regen: 0

Combat Trait

1
Gold
While near an allied fort, keep, or core, you can bring up a shop UT to buy talents. Aidan does not get talents upon leveling up, but can choose a stat boost with every level.

Aidan can buy his ultimate abilities with gold starting at level 10. Buying one raises the price of the other.

Minions drop 1+4% gold each, and mercenary camps drop 15+4% gold. Yes.
