Complete Hero Role Guide: All Five Classes in Blitz of Battle

Not sure which hero to pick in Blitz of Battle? It starts with understanding the five classes. Blitz of Battle, published by Sanam Games, has 11 heroes spread across Tanks, Fighters, Marksmen, Mages, and Assassins — and in a 2v2 game where you only field two heroes per side, the role each hero plays is magnified. There's no room for a passenger. This guide breaks down every class, what they do, and how to think about them in the fast 2v2 format.

Why Roles Matter More in 2v2

In a five-player MOBA, a team can cover every role and absorb one underperforming pick. In Blitz of Battle, your two-hero team has to cover damage and durability between just two players. That means your pairing needs to balance engage and follow-up, frontline and carry, in a way that a five-player team spreads across many slots.

Understanding each class is what lets you build a pairing that actually works — and avoid the pairings that look good on paper but fall apart in a real match.

Tanks: Control the Fight, Not the Scoreboard

What tanks do: Tanks are the durable frontline. They absorb damage, initiate fights, and create space for their partner to deal damage safely. A good tank doesn't need kills — they need to control where the fight happens and soak the enemy's biggest abilities.

In Blitz of Battle: Cravius is a Fighter with heavy Tank characteristics — high health, strong attack, built to be in the thick of every fight. Drathos, arriving on the Hero Unlock Road, has a Bull Rush charge that exemplifies what an aggressive frontline initiation looks like: drive into the enemy, disrupt their positioning, create chaos for your partner to exploit.

Best for: Beginners. Tank-class heroes are the most forgiving because their durability covers positioning errors while you're still learning the maps and pace.

Fighters: The Flexible Middle Ground

What fighters do: Fighters sit between tanks and damage dealers. They have enough durability to survive in close quarters and enough damage to threaten kills. This balance makes them one of the most flexible classes — a reliable choice when you're not sure what your team needs.

In Blitz of Battle: Cravius is the archetypal Fighter — axe-wielding, high attack (285 base), solid health (4,072), and built for extended brawls. Ruthon is a Fighter with a different feel: lightning-themed, suited to aggressive all-in plays. In a three-minute match, a strong fighter can both initiate and finish, which is enormously valuable when you only have two heroes.

Best for: Beginners to intermediate players who want flexibility and consistent impact.

Marksmen: Deal Damage from Safety

What marksmen do: Marksmen are ranged damage dealers — the sustained-damage backbone of many pairings. They punish enemies from a safe distance and shred durable targets over time. The trade-off is fragility: caught out of position, a marksman dies fast.

In Blitz of Battle: Ilyana is the confirmed Marksman in the current roster. She deals consistent ranged damage but depends entirely on having a durable partner — a tank or fighter — keeping enemies away from her. The classic pairing of tank-plus-marksman works because the tank handles the gap-closers that would delete Ilyana, and Ilyana deals the damage the tank can't.

Best for: Intermediate players with good positioning instincts.

Mages: High Skill, High Reward

What mages do: Mages are ability-based casters who deal burst damage and bring crowd control — stuns, slows, displacement. They reward precise aim and good timing. A mage who lands their key ability can swing a fight instantly. A mage who misses it is left vulnerable during the cooldown.

In Blitz of Battle: Balec is described as "a sorcerer shaped by forces few dare to name" — high magic power (150 base), burst-oriented, with an AoE ability and a devastating Super. Vio is the second confirmed Mage, a nature-themed caster with healing and control tools. Both scale heavily on the player's mechanical skill, making them rewarding to master and punishing to learn.

Best for: Intermediate to advanced players who enjoy precise, high-skill plays.

Assassins: Delete a Target and Escape

What assassins do: Assassins are the high-risk, high-reward class. Their job is to identify the most dangerous enemy — usually the marksman or mage — and delete them quickly before retreating. Played well, an assassin removes half the enemy team in seconds. Played poorly, they dive in, miss the kill, and die instantly.

In Blitz of Battle: Selara is the confirmed Assassin — a vampire-themed hero who strikes from the shadows. Halyx (available via Blitz Pass) is another assassination-focused pick with high burst. Assassins demand the best game sense and the cleanest execution of any class.

Best for: Advanced players with strong positioning instincts and target selection.

Understanding Hero Classes

Each hero class in Blitz of Battle has its own strengths, weaknesses, and role in a 2v2 team. Tanks have the highest durability and are designed to absorb damage, initiate fights, and protect their teammate, making them the easiest class for beginners. Fighters combine strong survivability with reliable damage, allowing them to engage enemies and finish off weakened targets while remaining forgiving to play. Marksmen have low durability but excel at dealing consistent ranged damage, so they perform best when they stay at a safe distance and rely on good positioning. Mages are fragile but can unleash devastating burst damage and crowd control, making them highly effective when their abilities are used at the right moment. Assassins deal the highest burst damage in the game but have very little durability, requiring precise timing and smart target selection to eliminate high-priority enemies before escaping. Choosing the right class depends on your playstyle, but understanding each role will help you build stronger team compositions and make better decisions during every match.
