Starting characters

Are the 2 starting characters random? I got 2 females. Not a big deal just wondering.

Nope! They are pre-set, and they make a great pair!

 

Have fun!

In the tutorial, I thought the two starting characters were male and female.  They both end up being NPCs and I think part of the ally deck.  I bought the bundle straight away, so I had a choice of all of the characters, but I'm curious now.  Do you get stuck playing the characters they choose for you if you don't buy the bundle?  That would have been irritating.  I took Ezren, Kyra, Merisiel, and Harsk for my A-team and it's been a blast.  When you get enough offensive spells on Ezren, he really mows mobs down like chaff falling from a wheat thresher.  Harsk is the ultimate support character, and it's not like he can't bring down the big game too.  My understanding is that the basic set characters are available immediately, which make sense.

You start with Merisiel and Kyra and can unlock base set characters for 2000 gold each and C-deck characters for 4000 gold each.
