For team composition, take at least one healer and two tanks, preferably with range. This will benefit you early on to prevent dying and risky revives. Good choices include Ambra, ISIC, and Montana.
The word "Heliophage" is derived after Greek words "helios" – "sun", and "phagein" – "to devour".
The main heroes of Battleborn are known simply as Battleborn. There are 25 different characters to choose from in both online Multiplayer games and the Story Mode episodes. Each has their own weapons, skills, and abilities.
Experience points can be earned in both online Multiplayer matches and the Story Mode episodes. These points are then distributed to the used character and your Battleborn profile.
One of the unique aspects of Battleborn is the Helix System. Each Battleborn can level up 10 times during a multiplayer game. Once a new level is attained, two different upgrades will become available in their "Helix." Only one upgrade can be chosen per level.
Credits are the in-game currency used at the main menu of Battleborn. They are used to buy loot packs and a few other items from the marketplace within the Command menu. Complete a Multiplayer game mode or Story Mode episode to earn experience to level up and credits to buy things.
Credits aren't the only form of currency in Battleborn. Shards are also used as currency during a Multiplayer game mode or Story Mode episode. Use shards to activate gear in your loadout or to build various items at nodes. Nodes are simply metal platforms laid around the map.
