Heroes
Heroes are the main playable characters in PvZ Heroes, and the ones required to be defeated so the game can end.

Each hero has 20 points of health plus a Mega-Block charger. When suffered damage, the Mega-Block Charger will fill depending on the luck of the player. When fully refilled the Mega-Block Charger will block the attack and the player receives a 1 Cost Trick that can be saved or deployed immediatly for free. The block has this ability three times per game.

Heroes have unique superpowers, tricks, classes and teammates who they can lead, making each one different from the others.

At the end of each mission there is a Boss Battle against one of the Heroes. Those have a unique strategy and start with bonus advantages (like a change on the number of Teammates, Health risen or pre-planted teammates) that makes them more challenging adversaries.

Class Types
Each Heroes can control two different classes and has different set of attacks.
