Base Stats & Observations by wolf_hands

@AlphaBe4t Koshka's Bloodrush really does make her an early game monster. She is arguably the strongest hero out of the gate. Keep in mind, though, her base stat is still the lowest. If ganked or focused while at zero stacks of Bloodrush, she is most surely the first casualty.

@Skilgannon You're welcome! The game actually denotes attack speed in percentage (%). For simplicity and cohesion I left them as whole numbers, as seen on each heroe's page on this site. Tweeting at the devs or commenting during their Friday livestreams might get a definitive answer. If someone finds out, please comment :)

Hi, thanks for the guide. Some useful conclusions. One thing that has me stumped though is: what is the base basic attack time? That is, how long does it take a hero to execute a basic attack before any attack speed modifiers have been applied?

I did some rough calcs using level 1 characters and the base attack time seemed to be around 1.6 seconds. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone data-mined the correct figure? Is it the same for each character?

*Correction, her heroic perk stacks up to four times, with maximum stack she has 82 TOTAL ARMOR AND SHIELD AT LEVEL ONE
This means that she is an absolute early game monster, with more combined early game armor than ardan, catherine, and glave COMBINED!!!!!! If you use her abilities and her perk the right way, you can keep their team from ever recovering from the early game

@rockermj Whoops! Left it there after I changed Taka's attack speed. Fixed ;) Thanks for pointing it out!

taka does have a worst stat, and thats his base attack speed.

@Lensjo Thanks!

@iCarus I texted my wife as soon as I saw the update, "I finally got featured and they go and change the stats on me! xD". I honestly didn't know that other guide existed :/ I hope to keep up with this one and to change stats as the devs buff and/or nerf heroes.

@Allex-14 Totally agree with everything! I started with Koshka, but at Pretty Good she becomes unplayable. And you're totally right, players should look into their hero more than just this guide to truly understand them. This is here to show strengths and weaknesses of heroes based on their stats so that players can think of their hero differently. A great example is Glaive. Most players don't notice how much health he naturally has.

Very nice and interpretive guide, wolf_hands! base stat is one of the most significant reason that some hero are been ignored now in high Elo matches(koshka, Krul etc.) the first hero I played as a vg fan is koshka, and I loved her until I got to "pretty good". Certain heroes needs to be nerfed or buffed. However when take in to account, the hero's perk is also very important. For example, your analysis say that SAW has really bad energy rg. but on the other hand, most players like me only uses SAW's second ability to get spin up stack and his first ability to run away from danger(this of course only apply to the mainstream WP SAW). My point is that players shouldn't judge a hero base on their base stats; rather, learn their true strength and weakness to master their play style.

umm, http://www.vaingloryfire.com/vainglory/guide/hero-base-stats-amp-observations-10 <This guy already made one like this (But not as good, I'm sure.)

Also, the new update added Ardan, and Joule's base shield status is increased as well.

SAW possesses the worst WP damage overall, obviously.

Really usefull guide. I was looking for this.
Keep up the good work :)

@Nshek Thanks! :) I was going off of the data given from this site. I tested to make sure the increase per level still matched, so it should all be correctly adjusted.

Just to point out, Takastarts off with 80% attack speed at level 1 :)
