Vainglory Roles Description:
1. SNIPER: Does well with either weapon or crystal build, but it depends on which position you want to take. Laners often build weapon, while junglers often build crystal. However, some heroes such as Ringo, preferred not to be played as jungler. Additionally, these heroes are very squishy, but lethal; in fact, these heroes ultimates are super strong.
2. ASSASSIN: Does well with crystal build, but building some weapon gears is also advised. Roles well as jungler. These heroes rely on their abilities, and they're very dangerous towards squishy heroes. These heroes are somehow squishy too, yet swift.
3. WARRIOR: Does well with weapon build, but building some crystal gears is also advised. Roles well as jungler. These heroes will rely on their basic attacks because they're pretty much stronger. Besides, these heroes are tough and hard to kill, yet devastating at close range.
4. MAGE: Does well with only crystal build. These heroes are usually roamer and rarely will stay on the same position. They rely on their abilities since they're mages. However, their defense are tougher than Snipers, meaning they're capable at handling close range too.
5. PROTECTOR: Does well with utility build. These heroes are mostly roamer and will only stick with other heroes to safely collect gold and protect them from dying. They'll have high defense, utility items such as flares and scout traps, and also useful abilities to save teammates or chase fleeing enemies.
