In our previous article, we went over roughly half of the cast of playable heroes that can be purchased from the in-game store in Art of Conquest. Like we said on that occasion, these characters don’t provide an inherent benefit over their free counterparts. However, as of now, there are only 7 free heroes in the game, while there are 11 paid heroes. This means that, for those who value strategy and cunning, they will benefit from purchasing a hero or two from the store to vary their battle plans.

This time around, we will be exploring the remaining paid heroes, so you can get an idea of who they are, and what they’re good for.

Jacques

Skills

• Walking Arsenal: Jacques summons his mech suit to the battlefield. This skill costs 3 energy points to activate.
