FAQs

What is the maximum level in Heroes of Hammerwatch? ›

The level cap is 20. You no longer gain exp once at level 20. The level cap increases by 5 for every time the character beats the game and goes into New Game plus (aka NG+). You can check your character's level cap by hovering over the EXP tracker in your character menu.

The sorcerer features potent offensive and defensive abilities, including options for both close and long range, and whilst he shares the fragility of the wizard, he trades in the wizard's explicit close-quarters and area-of-effect prowess for unique options with greater range and flexibility.

In order to unlock, the player must find a mage NPC behind a breakable wall secret in the armory, the stage after beating the Warden. This will allow the user to unlock the magic shop in town, which will then allow them to create a Wizard.

The Sorcerer has three active skills: Comet, Frost Nova, and Orb of Winter. Comet drops a comet that deals hybrid damage split among all enemies in the area of impact. Enemies hit are frozen in place for 2 seconds. Frost Nova unleashes a number of frost shards in all direction around the Sorcerer dealing hybrid damage.

In addition to raising a player's level cap by 5, doing a NG+ run will yield more Gold and Ore. The amount of extra gold and ore is +(20 * NG_level)%. Note that the shops (not in the town) will also have their prices increased by 20%, matching the NG+ gain.

I suggest starting out with Paladin/Warlock as their upgrades are extremly important. Next up consider Ranger/Wizard. After that you should go for Sorcerer/Gladiatior. Last but not least are the Thief and Priest.

The reason so many people say wizards are great utility is because they can cast a large potential number of spells to lock down enemies, buff allies, and do a number of other things. Sorcerer players tend to focus more on damage spells, but you can certainly build a utility/supportive sorcerer too.

As for which is better, generally Sorcerer due to the stronger offensive presence and self-synergy. The more Sorcerers you stack, the more the pendulum swings towards Sorcs. *It puts them at the same point in incantation as the original caster, counting cast time reductions like Articulacy.

Why aren't classes like the cleric or druid who know all of their spells given more credit in rankings? Wizards are arguably the most powerful character class in Dungeons & Dragons for a few reasons but probably more notably for the sheer power of their spells #1, and to their vast variety of their spell selection #2.

The main way to increase the strength of your heroes is the Guild Hall and the Class Title system in the base game. If you already own the dlc then the statues are the main way to increase the strength of your heroes together with the class title bonus of two classes.

What does the luck do in Heroes of Hammerwatch? ›

Luck is a valuable stat because it curves the rolls of all combat related chance effects. For example, it affects the activation chances for Evasion, Critical hits, Drinks, Items, Statues, Curses, and character skills like freezing an enemy with the Sorcerer.

The Gladiator is unlocked by beating the Arena once.

The sorcerer's spellcasting ability is based on their charisma, so naturally, charisma is the number one priority when it comes to stats.

The Sorcerer's default weapon proficiencies are Daggers, Quarterstaffs, and Light Crossbows. Unlock armor, equipping a non-proficient weapon, doesn't remove the ability to cast spells. This becomes important later on, but realize most Sorcerer will use a Quarterstaff throughout the entirety of the game.

The cap is 50, as indicated by one of the achievements.

When focusing on the main objectives, Heroes of Hammerwatch is about 19 Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 98½ Hours to obtain 100% completion.

The final boss, Nerys, is a powerful djinn that took control of another djinn, Nimbus, long ago and was trapped at the top of the pyramid as punishment. He wields many powerful attacks and can quickly kill the player if they are not prepared for his attacks. Nerys will always start out by attacking with his sword.
