Heroes
Six heroes go down into the vault. Each brings one skill, one passive and, later, a specialization that swaps the passive for another.

Strikes are extra strikes: Pip's 1 means two strikes with every ATTACK. Every hero starts a run with a Rusty Shortsword and 30 gold.
Borders
A hero's best floor earns a border round their portrait at hero select: Bronze at floor 5, Silver at floor 10, Gold at floor 20, Gilded for breaking the curse, Mythic at floor 40, Amethyst at floor 50. Floors past 30 are in the endless hoard. A hero who walks out alive also keeps wearing that run's gear at hero select until a run with them ends in death or is abandoned; it is for show and gives no stats.
