Info

Primary attribute

Every hero has a primary attribute, which controls his or her attack damage. Every point in their primary attribute adds 1 point of damage to their attacks, and any bonus to a hero`s primary attribute will affect that hero`s attack damage. Usually, a hero`s primary attribute will determine how he or she is played. For instance, intelligence heroes are typically more dependent on abilities. A hero`s primary attribute typically grows faster than the other two attributes.
