The foremost fighter of Hibernia, the Hero is the equal of the Midgard Warrior and the Albion Armsman in nearly every way. Although his ranged attack isn't as powerful as the others, it does allow him to focus his training completely on his melee skills instead. Heroes also learn the use of the Celtic Spear, a powerful weapon unique to the Hero.
As is any fighting class, the Hero is sturdy and can deal out a lot of damage, allowing him to take most threats head on and without fear. The disadvantage to his lack of magic is that he'll need to recover afterwards, unless he chooses lighter targets. With his heavy armor, and some training in parry and/or the use of shields, the Hero should be a force to be reckoned with.
Within a group the Hero will be most suited for a heavy damage shield role. His protection and intercept skills should make him very suited for this, while his armor and high hits will let him soak up the attacks. With a good healer behind him, a Hero can do damage for an extended period of time even while holding off an enemy much more powerful than himself.
