- Main article: Heroes of Dragon Age
Characters in Heroes of Dragon Age belong to one of five Factions: Red, Blue, Black, White and large creatures. Additionally, there are five rarities for characters: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Each of these rarities correspond to the difficulty in acquiring the character in game. A maximum of 150 characters (including duplicates) can be in your inventory at any one time.
All characters have a power and health stat corresponding to how much damage they can deal and how much damage they can take. A character's speed is an indication of its initiative in combat with faster characters acting first. Many characters have special abilities, such as stun, taunt (more likely to be hit), gain power, flank (more likely to attack the back row), various ally boosts, and others.
Some rarer characters might have variants and be treated as different characters. For example, Anders and Vengeance Anders are two different characters in Heroes of Dragon Age.
Characters can be consumed to increase XP and critical strike chance, allow the character to Tier up, and unlock Fortification slots. Consuming similar characters or members of the same Faction will also provide additional bonuses. Characters consumed are then permanently removed from the inventory.
Higher tiered characters have more power and health at every level compared to lower tiered characters. Characters can be combined up to tier IV. Additionally, each tier raises the level cap by 5.
Characters can also be Fortified.
With the release of version 2.0 of the game, new characters called Consume Wisps have been introduced. These characters operate differently from other characters in that they are meant to be used in Consuming rather than as part of squads used for battle. These wisps grant high bonuses when consumed, depending on the rarity of the wisp. Consuming a wisp that is of the same faction as the character gives an additional boost.
