Helena
Tank—PlateDifficulty 2
Despite being weighed down by full plate armor, Helena is always ready to charge into the fray to protect her companions. Helena is a Melee Tank and excels in the front lines taking hits instead of her allies. Her Veteran of War mechanic allows Helena to reduce the cooldowns of her ability to allow for more frequent use of her powerful attacks and Toughness generators. Toughness is Helena's main resource for mitigating incoming damage and surviving dangerous encounters. Her Toughness is shown as a blue bar to the right of the character.
