Talents

Talents are traits unique to each hero. They are chosen every 5th level starting at level 10, offering a permanent choice between two distinct bonuses. A special sound Talent.mp3 is played when you have reached the level required to choose a talent. These bonuses range from increases to hero attributes, additional gold or experience gain, and boosts to hero abilities. Once a talent is chosen, its counterpart is discarded and the selected bonus is gained for the remainder of the match.
