Ultimate Hammerwatch Hero Guide
Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 is a roguelike action RPG featuring seven distinct character classes, each with unique playstyles and customization options. Here's a guide to help you get started:
Classes
Four classes are available at the start of the game:
- Warrior
- Wizard
- Paladin
- Ranger
Three additional classes can be unlocked during gameplay:
- Rogue
- Warlock
- Sorcerer
The Warrior class, for example, is a melee-focused brawler with high health and physical damage. It supports various playstyles and performs well with strength-based weapons.
Town Management
The town serves as your base of operations and offers various upgrades:
- Town Hall: Unlocks other buildings and upgrades.
- Blacksmith: Provides armor and attack power upgrades.
- Guild Hall: Offers class titles that grant extra stats.
- Chapel: Provides costly but valuable upgrades.
- Fountain: Allows customization of runs with various modifiers.
Resources
The game features three main resources:
- Gold: Used for town upgrades
- Ore: Can be converted to gold
- Stars: Used for enhancing items, upgrading skills, and improving stats against monsters
Tips for Progress
- Upgrade the Guild Hall to access class titles, which provide permanent stat boosts.
- Focus on completing achievements to earn guild title upgrades, which grant bonuses to all characters.
- Use a strong character to farm resources for upgrading other characters.
- Pay attention to attack power and skill power, as they work as percentages rather than flat increases.
Remember that Heroes of Hammerwatch is a roguelike, so each run will provide new items, but town upgrades offer permanent benefits to help you progress.
