Heroes are the essential element of Paragon, as the course of the game is dependent on their intervention. During a match, two opposing teams select five heroes that accumulate Experience and Card Experience. Once a hero has enough experience, it will level up, growing more powerful and gaining new abilities. All heroes have a distinct Role that defines how they affect the battlefield. A hero's appearance can be modified with Skins.
Currently, 24 heroes are playable. Additional 12 heroes are in the game's data, but they are unreleased.
