== Summary == 
'''Heroes''' are a type of [[cards]] in [[Artifact]]. You have to choose 5 of them per deck. They come with a special card, unique to that hero, three copies of which are automatically added to your [[Deckbuilder|deck]]. This way, 15 cards of your deck are pre-defined depending on the heroes you chose.  
At the start of the game, three of your five heroes are distributed randomly to the lanes (one hero in each lane). After that, you can deploy the fourth and fifth hero on turns two and three.  
Heroes cost no mana to deploy, and if they die, they can be redeployed after a turn passes, but a few abilities change this.  
Having a hero of a certain color in lane will allow you to play spells of that color while in that lane.

As of Release ({{Date|2018-11-28}}) there are 48 heroes in Artifact. Out of them, 39 are from [[Dota 2]] (out of possible 116), 9 are brand new ({{H|Keefe the Bold}}, {{H|J'Muy the Wise}}, {{H|Fahrvhan the Dreamer}}, {{H|Rix}}, {{H|Sorla Khan}}, {{H|Debbi the Cunning}}, {{H|Kanna}}, {{H|Prellex}} and {{H|Mazzie}})
