Maya Muerta the Watcher

Maya Muerta opens the hero list at a base cost of 10 gold, so she is the first hero every run hires. Her abilities do not specialise. Early levels give a little Critical Damage and Critical Chance, then Chesterson and Multi-Spawn Gold, then three extra Mana Capacity at level 500.

The late levels are where she earns a place: All Damage x1.3 at 2000, Boss Gold x1.4 at 3000, All Hero Damage x1.5 at 4000 and All Gold x2 at 6000. Since she is cheap to level, those late bonuses arrive early in a run.
