Huntress
Summoner
EV (Wall, Buff)

DPS (6):
Monk x 2
Adept (for upgrading)
Amazon (for boss strike)
Bounty Hunter (portal gun, jetpack)

It may seem like a lot, but split screen uses up 4.

EV (Tower)
Adept (Barrier)
Squire (Barricade)
Summoner (dps, for armor drops)
Ranger (jetpack)
Apprentice

Plus a couple low level characters I'll delete for Jester. I wouldn't mind an extra page of characters.

10.

Waller EV
Tower Countess
Tower Apprentice
Trap Huntress
Aura Monk
Barbarian
DPS Monk
Summoner
Buff Beam EV
DPS EV

All are 74+. Worked hard for my levels and gear. And by that, I mean AFK Insane HC Aquanos survival for XP, and do some Nightmare Hardcore Mixmode Mistymire for loot. Aquanos is nice, but the goldfish. :(

using all builders as I think I need them (and the way they're geared lets me use them)
don't use the 3rd page so much =\ all chars are at least 78

4player split is Countess, Monk, Summoner, Squire

edit: layout n stuff

tower squire, summoner , tower app , dps monk, dps barb , aura monk , waller/buff ev , trapper

so 8 in total and thats all i need lol

15 total

Tower: EV (waller/buff), squire (mitt skin for speed), trapper, aura monk, adept, summoner

Dps: monk, barb, countess, huntress, app (w/ genie for upgrades)

Farming: 2 monks (redshirt-1 and redshirt-2), and 2 summoners (thing-1 and thing-2). [2 wired controllers]

i use 7 total tower - countess . ev . huntress , app , monk , summoner and a dps monk

I have 11 chars, but don't use DPS huntress and Barbarian. There is really no place for these while multiplayer is unplayable :P

1. Hybrid Active Countess
2. Builder Monk
3. Builder Hunter
4. Builder Series EV
5. Builder Summoner
6. Builder Mage

I have more characters, but I don't use them much yet. Mix of boredom of gameplay, and still needing to finish leveling and gearing them for what i want to do.

I have eleven characters, one for each class type.

Builders: :countess: :huntress: :adept: :initiate: :series:

DPS: :squire: :hunter: :apprentice: :monk: :barbarian:

And then Summoner, who inexplicably still doesn't have a smiley: builder.

I've leveled and at least decently geared all my builders, of course. I've leveled and geared only two of my DPS so far, the Monk and Barbarian. I'm going to build the other three DPS eventually, for the sake of variety. But as people said, with how long it takes to put together a proper set of armor - and considering my builders still need upgrades to be viable in the few stages I can't clear yet - those other DPS guys are likely to be on deck for the long-haul.

barb dps
and all rest r towers
but i dont use mage

dps barb

towers

squire
monk
ev
wall/buff in one
summoner
huntress

and JESTER SOON :D

How many heroes do you use when you play Dungeon Defenders? Do you keep a DPS and a Tower build of each hero, or do you just stick with one type? Or do you only use one hero at all?

tower monk
tower ev
tower summener
tower huntress
tower squire
tower mage
dps ev for upgrades
dps monk for survival
dps barb for bosses
dps summener for armor farming

dps and tower jester soon to come XD

9. DPS Barbarian
10. Tower Series EV
11. DPS Series EV
12. Tower Summoner
13. Mana Summoner
14. Jester?

These are the main ones I use:
Dps/Aura/Permatowerboost Monk (3 diff monks)
Tower DMG Squire
Traptress
Waller/Tower DMG EV (2 diff EVs)
Tower DMG Summoner
-------
These I dont use as much
DPS Hunter
Tower Apprentice
DPS EV

DPS countess

One of each, all towers, so 7 characters.

I use 8.

Tower: Squire, App, Huntress, Monk, Ev, Summoner
DPS: Monk, Barbarian

15

Tower:

EV (waller)
Initiate (auras)
EV (buffs)
Countess (tower)
App (tower)
Huntress (gas)
Summoner (minions)
Ranger (traps)

DPS:

EV
Squire
Adept
Barbarian
Monk
Summoner (x2)

2 monks, one aura one dps
2 squires, one tower one afker (with 4k hhp)
1 huntress
2 ev, one buffer one waller
2 summoners, one flasher one summoner
2 apprentice, one dps one tower

Have 12 but only use 7 at the moment.
DPS EV and Monk.
Towers of all other classes.

15 Level 74+

7 Tower:

Summoner
EV (buff beams and tower dps)
Trapper
Auramaster
EV (waller)
Apprentice towers
Squire towers

2 dps and 6 ungeared:

I'll use any class except Initiate for dps.
One dps set has a genie, other set has a dps pet.

Another thing to note is I spread out the set armor type. I have one pristine, plate, mail, chain, and 2 leather tower sets. Loads better than making 5 tower characters all use the same type.

4 Tower builders, a Countess, Series EV, Summoner, and an in-training Aura Monk.

And a hybrid Traptress, because DPS huntress doesn't get enough love.

Tower
Squire
EV
Monk
Trap girl
App
Sommoner

DPS
Monk
Barb
Count
Ranger


I see People with Sommoner DPS. How do you set one of those up? Stats/Pets

I have about 16 characters that are 74+, but I only use about 9 frequently:
Aura monk
Dps/buff monk
Trap huntress
Harpoon countess
Tower apprentice
Waller series EV
Buff beam series EV
Builder/active summoner
Dps Barb

The other characters consist of unused dps toons (squire, app, EV, ranger) no longer relevant builders (countess/adept waller), and an initiate that is hard to justify leveling when compared to the monk (aura set uses ultimate items).

I have considered making another summoner with mana pets for fast upgrading as well as repurposing the ranger into a gas trap only builder. Other than that, I think I have about all I need till the jester comes out.

Health, resists, flash heal, cast rate.

Basicly a summoner that won't get killed instantly when you have to drop out to collect mana, but still makes repairing easy
