Selecting an effective but not too challenging to play character is an incredibly important part of having a good time early on in Battlerite. There is a lot to learn in the game, and playing anything complicated only slows down the process for beginners.

Below you will find the three heroes that can contribute most with the least amount of knowledge. All three are considered to be highly effective, even in high rated games. So, learning them is well worth your time and effort.
Ashka (Damage)
Ashka is the "simple" mage of Battlerite. He deals incredible damage from range, including area of effect damage and damage over time. He has a couple escapes that you will need to use wisely to avoid death, but when he's alive it's easy for him to dish out high damage that enemies can't ignore. If they do, they are toast. His high damage toolkit and mobility allow him to perform extremely well in small engagements, providing opportunity for him to successfully pull of highlight players. In group battles, he needs to be carefully positioned to avoid being focus fired.

Bakko (Tank)
This champion is slow paced but extremely potent. As a tank, he's responsible for getting in the faces of enemies and distracting them as damage dealing teammates rain damage on them. His toolkit allows him to jump into battle and disrupt opponents. Bakko is great at sticking to opponents, pressuring them so that they are unable to free cast on your most vital champions, including Support and ranged DPS. He's also a very charming character that is beloved by many players.

She has multiple options for healing allies, while also dealing mild damage and control to opponents. Learning how to most effectively use her ultimate ability is the hardest part of playing her, but it doesn't take too long to figure out.
