Predecessor is a free-to-play, third-person MOBA developed by Overhype Studios, the creators behind Paragon. Not only does Predecessor feature the same fast-paced action and strategic depth as Paragon, but it also brings back many of the characters that made Paragon so popular. It's no wonder we picked it as our December Indie Game of the Month!
In Predecessor, each hero has their own unique abilities and playstyle, and teamwork is essential to victory. The game features a diverse and extensive cast of characters each with their own distinct kits. Here are all the characters in Predecessor.

All Characters in Predecessor
For convenience, we shall break down the roster of characters to the specific roles that they’re meant to play.
Carries
- Sparrow: Beginner-friendly marksman for duo lane, strong AoE but weak in 1v1s.
- Murdock: Fan-favorite with great range and global ult, but weaker against ADCs and tanks.
- Twinblast: Mid-range marksman with decent balance, strong early trades but weak ultimate, hardest ADC to play.
- Kira: Marksman dualist, lacks utility but excels at single-target damage like a ranged assassin.
- Revenant: High-risk, high-reward specialist ADC with a single target damage but with no utility and low anti-turret clearing damage.
- Drongo: Attack stim provides stacked damage, ultimate repels melee and shreds armour, is mana-hungry and encourages single-target focus.
- Wraith: A tactical AD carry that relies on surveillance abilities and powerful long-range attacks with high damage per shot.
Junglers
- Khaimera: Beginner-friendly bruiser/assassin, reliable ganks and CC cleanse but predictable.
- Kallari: Squishy, high-damage cloak-and-dagger assassin who decimates vulnerable targets but pops like a balloon against CC and tanks.
- Rampage: Mobile, versatile tank-bruiser who excels at both short and mid-range with his iconic boulder throw and deceptive range.
- Grux: Easy-to-play jack-of-all-trades bruiser with good damage, CC, and survivability but predictable and weak against Blight.
- Feng Mao: Elusive, bursty melee assassin who excels at finishing off stragglers with resets and executes but is fragile and weak early.
- Crunch: Excels at aggressive dives and duels but requires skilled handling due to his relativity weaker team fight and lack of sustain.
Mid-laners
- Gadget: Zoner specializing in AoE ability damage, Sticky Mine is her bread and butter.
- Howitzer: Versatile hybrid caster, who excels at all ranges but is mana-hungry and requires skill.
- Morigesh: specialist mid-laner and caster with high execution rewards but a low margin for error.
- The Fey: Poke mage with high damage and utility but low survivability, powerful in team fights but vulnerable.
- Gideon: Easy-to-pick-up jungler/mid-laner, great mobility and rotations but vulnerable to CC and Black Hole.
- Countess: Close-range caster with high burst and lifesteal, deceptively resilient with damage-based sustain.
- Iggy and Scorch: Iggy and Scorch are a fast-moving pair that run their enemies down with fire attacks.
Supports
- Muriel: Guardian angel, excels at shielding allies and keeping them alive, weak on her own and vulnerable to ganks.
- Dekker: Ranged support with strong CC and target lockdown, less resilient but more reliable than Riktor, relies on hitting skill shots.
- Riktor: High-CC tank/catcher who excels at locking down targets but is hard to play, punishable if mistakes are made, and has a weak early game.
- Phase: Unique parasitic enchanter, enhances one ally but can't make big plays or create openings.
- Narbash: Melee enchanter, counters poke lanes with sustain and strong all-in, vulnerable after using Thunk.
- Lt. Belica: Specialist caster with anti-mage and anti-personnel focus, punishing combo but limited range.
Top/Offlane
- Sevarog: Scaling tank who punishes the weak early but becomes an unkillable late-game monster with high CC.
- Shinbi: Versatile assassin, excels at poking enemies down and unleashing devastating ultimate damage, but requires careful positioning due to her low burst range.
- Steel: Versatile defender/attacker, shields, rams, stuns, and defends key targets while waiting to retaliate, vulnerable to poke.
- Greystone: Beginner-friendly, damage-ramping duelist bruiser with a strong team fight presence but lacks CC and has long downtimes on key abilities.
- Serath: An extremely mobile, high-damage assassin who struggles early but snowballs fast with resets and cleans up fights but is squishy and lacks engage.
- Zarus: Dualist bruiser and anti-carry, well-rounded kit but doesn't excel in any area and is vulnerable early
