All Heroes

🎮 **A straightforward mod that replaces your hero roster with optimized champion heroes for each class. **

This mod is simply a roster of heroes copied from an extremely optimized, late-game save file. Its sole purpose is to help other players skip the similarly boring leveling process.

✨ Module function

• **Start at full level**: Have a complete roster of level 5 heroes at the beginning of the game, making it easy to get through the toughest part of the game.
• **Skip leveling**: If you just want to experience the story, this mod can help you skip the most tedious and random aspects of the game.
• **Hero Resurrection**: If any of your heroes die, just overwrite the file again and they will magically be resurrected.
• **Two options**: The module contains two files, corresponding to the basic version and the full DLC version of the hero roster.

💡 **NOTE**: Using this mod will clear your graveyard and **remove your current roster of heroes** (including any trinkets they have equipped at the time), then replace them with the heroes from the mod.

🤔 In-depth analysis of quirks

Tired of grinding for that **only** quirk for your favorite heroes?

Everything in this file can (theoretically) be obtained with enough luck and patience.

**How ​​to implement multiple heroes with multiple copies of unique quirks? **

The answer is to take advantage of the **"From Beyond"** town events. When this event occurs, you can resurrect one of three heroes who have died and are buried in the cemetery. They lose all skills and armor upgrades, but retain their Resolve level, as well as all quirks and ailments they had at death.

If a hero dies while possessing a unique Quirk, the Quirk remains in its graveyard state. As long as no other living hero on the roster has the same quirk, other heroes can get their own copy of the unique quirk.

Once your graveyard is full of heroes with unique quirks, you can repeatedly use the "From Beyond" event to resurrect them one by one, thus bypassing the normal limits on unique quirks, since dead heroes don't count against the limit.

**Is this possible without cheating or using mods? **

**Yes. **

**Would any sane person try to do this manually? **

Considering the target audience of this game? Well, there probably is. Unfortunately, this requires multiple uses of a relatively rare town event, meaning it could take hundreds of weeks to resurrect even a handful of heroes, let alone the entire roster.
