Summoning the Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter

Ranged weaponry and shadow manipulation make this vengeful hero an elusive stalker of demons.

ResourceHatred and Discipline

Primary attributeDexterity

The Demon Hunter uses a variety of traps and escape skills to evade the grasp of foes.

Lethal and agile, Demon Hunters move fluidly across the battlefield, maneuvering into position to strike their enemies from a distance.

The Demon Hunter's attacks and tactical skills are powered by the dual forces of Hatred and Discipline. Hatred is rapidly regenerated, but Discipline is slowly recovered.
