Old Barb

Faction: Coven

Not as dumb as he looks. Probably dumber.

Barb is a big lug – one of the simplest characters to play, but not necessarily easy to succeed with. His main challenge is positioning well to be able to stick to enemy targets, as he has no ranged attack besides his ult. But despite this, he can be a wrecking force. He has a pile of hit points and hits like a truck – something of a hybrid frontline/firepower.

Whenever Barb takes damage, he becomes Enraged the following turn. Being Enraged increases damage dealt by 10 on all abilities.
