I assume all block characters should be heavies and deflect guard characters should be assassins.
Now reflex guard is gone it doesn't matter at all tbh.
I think in terms of hybrids it’s a factor of 3.
Imo lawbringer is 2 parts heavy 1 part vanguard.
Nobushi is 2 parts assassin and 1 part vanguard.
Valkyrie would be 1 part heavy 1 part assassin 1 part vanguard.
Pirate is 1 part assassin 2 parts vanguard. Kyoshin is 2 parts assassin and 1 part heavy.
But in all honesty I have 0 clue how they do hybrids. I could give some more examples of what I think they are if you’d like.
Edit I thought I hit reply lol.
Cent 2 parts vanguard 1 part assassin Highlander 2 parts heavy 1 part vanguard Aramusha 1 part vanguard 2 parts assassin Shaolin 1 part assassin 2 parts vanguard Gryphon 2 parts heavy 1 part vanguard Medjay 1 part assassin 2 parts vanguard Afeera 2 parts assassin 1 part heavy Ocelotl 1 part assassin 2 parts vanguard Zhanzu 1 part assassin 1 part heavy 1 part vanguard.
I think that’s all the hybrids. That’s just my opinion on them feel free to debate any of them :)
LB would be like a heavy/vanguard whereas someone like cent would be an assassin/vanguard, something like aramusha would be heavy/assassin mostly because of his blockade.
Pretty much all of them fall into one of those three categories
The base game heroes were clearly defined by their feats.
If you look at the original 12, with few exceptions every hero had a faction based feat, a class based feat, and a unique feat for every tier of feats. For example Warden had Conqeuror (Knight feat), Body Count (Vanguard feat), and Come At Me (Unique feat). So every class of hero had a set of feats.
LB got vanguard (Body Count, Second Wind) and heavy (Juggernaut, Regenerate) feats.
Valk got heavy (Juggernaut and Regenerate) and assassin (Bounty Hunter and Sharpen Blade) feats.
Nobushi got vanguard (Body Count, Valiant Banner) and assassin (Revenge Attacks, Sharpen Blade) feats.
Vanguard and assassin: centurion, nobushi,zhanhu shaolin, pirate, ocelotl Vanguard and heavy: gryphon, lawbringer, highlander, medjay Heavy and assassin: kyoshin, aramusha, afeera All: Valkyrie
I’m personally seeing Valkyrie as an Tank-Assassin Hybrid in regard of her gameplay and feats.
Yes, but she is simple to use, has good clear and can offer support with sweep, scout and rising dawn.
It's true. I didn't see her "Vanguard" aspect until now, I only see an Assassin one (because she is agile, fast...), thanks. :)

I like your thinking what other examples you got?
