Battle
 Hero  Silver Sentinel – An iron will that won't fall.

Hero is a Silver Sentinel who fights primary in defense. He alters his attacks between a brawler and summoning his mech to fight for him during battle by pressing R while holding L (Faster than the usual L and R). In his 'normal' form, he specializes in mid-range abilities while his 'mech' form grants him access to to swift and powerful close-ranged attacks. Hero cannot move in his 'mech' form, and all actions are done by summoning the mech instead. The mecha is also immune to flinching when hit with a Brave attack, though it will still take damage. Furthermore, if Hero himself is hit in his mech form, the mech immediately cancels the attack.

EX Mode
Hero's Ex Mode is Iron Avenger, where he gains a luminescence aura, while the mech's color scheme becomes gold. Apart from the standard Regen for both forms, the additional buffs he receives depends on what for is he on; in his normal form, he gains the ability "Heroic Will", which makes him immune to flinching when hit with a Brave attack (though he will still take damage). Hero also have a random chance of fully restoring his Brave points if it is less that his starting Brave. His mech mode gains the effect "Aegis Heart", which increases its Physical and Magical defense. In mech form, his attacks' critical rate increases as well.

His Ex Burst is Monomyth. In his Ex Burst Hero delivers a barrage of sword slashes at the enemy. The player has to input a series of buttons with each slash. A perfected Ex Burst result in Hero executes two powerful slashes that resembles a cross at the opponent, and then creating a pillar of energy striking down. His failed Ex Burst ends with him shooting the opponent with his Desert Eagle instead.
