Drakantos features more than 20 unique playable heroes. Rather than following a traditional class selection at character creation, players choose from distinct pre-designed characters, each with their own abilities, roles, traits, backstory, and voice lines. Every hero has at least 30 unique emotes. Heroes are not locked behind a gacha system; the developers have described a player-friendly approach where every hero is meant to feel relevant and valued.
Heroes cover the roles of tank, healer, and damage dealer. Some heroes have unusual takes on their role, such as tank characters that rely on crowd control or illusion mechanics rather than raw durability. The specific details below are drawn from confirmed closed beta test builds.

Customization
All heroes support cosmetic customization. The press kit mentions hairstyles, armor pieces, and hoods as visual customization options. Skins and emotes are available for each hero. Players can also modify their Orbs, Artifacts, and Trophies to change how a hero's abilities function, allowing different playstyles within the same hero.
