Deskrawl heroes

The build defines four heroes and the demo hands you one of them. Each class has its own page here, and every number on those pages comes from that class’s own entry rather than from a build guide or a video.

That is also why the four look uneven. Two carry no skill list of their own, one has no named talents, and one has abilities the build still calls placeholders. The pages print that rather than evening it out, because which class is finished and which is not is the useful part while three of them cannot be played.

The order follows that: the class the demo lets you play first, then the three it locks, each with what the build stores for it today.

• Ability entries referenced counts the entries a class points at, not the skills you can use: entries the build marks as locked, and entries it still calls placeholders, sit inside that number too.
• Selectable is the narrower number — only the entries a class’s own flags mark as selectable. In the demo, only the Warrior’s are reachable.
• Placeholder means the build names the entry with its own placeholder label instead of a skill name. The page prints the effect text stored beside it and leaves the name as it is.
• Talents are filed per class, not inside the hero entry — so a class showing no talent entries is not a class without talents, it is one whose talents this build does not carry yet.

Three gaps in the four class pages today, all of them visible in the table above:

• The Hunter and the Monk have no skill list of their own. Both point at the Warrior’s sixteen ability entries, so their pages show the Warrior’s kit and label it as the Warrior’s.
• The Sorcerer’s list is half placeholder. Six of its twelve entries still carry the build’s placeholder name, and none of its 24 talent entries has a published name in either language.
• No page can say when the locked three unlock. Nothing in the demo’s official material names a date or a patch for them, and this site does not guess.

Which Deskrawl hero should I pick?

In the demo there is nothing to pick: three of the four classes are flagged demo-locked and the Warrior is the only one the demo hands you. The choice exists on paper until the other three arrive. Answered in full by Beginner guide: the first hour

Can I play the Hunter, the Sorcerer or the Monk in the demo?

No. All three are flagged demo-locked in the build’s own data. Their pages still exist because the build carries a class entry for each of them, and that entry is what the page reports. Answered in full by The demo

Why do the Hunter and the Monk show the Warrior’s abilities?

Because neither has an ability list of its own in this build — both entries point at the Warrior’s sixteen references. Their pages say so on the card and again in the table, rather than passing that list off as the class’s own kit. Answered in full by Hunter

What does “placeholder” mean on these pages?

The build still names that entry with its own placeholder label rather than a skill name. The page prints the effect text stored beside it and leaves the name alone; no page here invents a name to fill the gap. Answered in full by Sorcerer

Can talent points be taken back?

The build stores a refund cost per point already spent, so a mis-spent point is recoverable at a price; the progression page carries the numbers. Of the four classes, only the Warrior has named talents to spend points in today. Answered in full by Progression
