Talents are special attributes that can help Heroes during matches in Arena of Valor. They come in a variety of effects, advantages and requirements. Let's take a look at all of them in the game!
Talents are unlocked as players progress their Arena of Valor accounts over time. They have their own merits and the developers have introduced an added level of strategy to the game with these Talents as you can only choose one! This means that you have to pick wisely and tailor your Hero choices or the way you play around them.
There are a total of nine Talents in Arena of Valor. Let's take a look at them!
