Apprentice

Donning his robe and wizard hat, the Apprentice is eager to delve deeper into the world of the arcane. Under the guidance of the Grand Magus, the Apprentice has learned the art of conjuration. While summoning towers of mystical defense to aid him, he blasts his enemies with waves of magic from afar.

The Apprentice is a mage hero class who utilizes staves. He is one of the four original heroes in Dungeon Defenders. He has the least amount of health out of the quad.

Defenses

The Apprentice has strong towers with below-average health. As such, they should be supported by defenses from other hero classes, such as Monk auras and Summoner minions.
