Using these acquire warriors, the player will be able to work their way across each of the game’s stages, moving the story forward with their selection of military units.

Other classes will offer more unique, useful abilities, such as the Enchantress’ ability to charm enemy units, the Necromancer’s dead-raising powers, and the Huntsman’s ability to set traps.
