Some pirates chase treasure.
Marina Tideborn hunts the horde.
This swashbuckling pirate captain joins Heroes vs. Hordes with a fast, piercing playstyle built around precision, timing, and powerful return damage. If you like cutting through enemy lines, controlling space from range, and watching a perfect throw hit twice, Marina is ready for your roster.
A Captain Built for Piercing Pressure
Marina’s main attack is Harpoon.
She throws her harpoon toward the closest enemy, piercing through enemies in a line before snapping it back along the same path. That means enemies can be hit once on the throw and again on the return.
The result is a satisfying rhythm:
Throw.
Pierce.
Reel back.
Clear the path.
Against dense hordes, one well-placed harpoon can tear through entire enemy lines.
Bleed the Horde with Jagged Harpoon
At Level 20, Marina unlocks Jagged Harpoon.
Now her harpoon inflicts Bleed, adding extra damage over time to enemies it strikes. This makes Marina even stronger against packed waves, durable enemies, and targets that survive the first hit.
The more enemies she pierces, the more pressure she spreads.
Drop the Anchor
At Level 40, Marina unlocks Anchor Drop.
Every few seconds, a massive anchor crashes down from above, dealing AoE damage to enemies caught in the impact zone.
It’s simple.
It’s heavy.
It’s extremely satisfying.
Anchor Drop gives Marina extra burst power and helps punish enemies that gather too tightly on screen.
Ultimate: Parrot Swarm
When Marina’s ultimate meter fills, she calls in Parrot Swarm.
A flock of tropical parrots circles around her before swooping into enemies, dealing damage with each attack. The ability adds a burst of colorful chaos to the battlefield and gives Marina another way to pressure enemies from multiple angles.
The horde may be endless.
The parrots do not care.
Evolution: Pirate Ship
Marina’s Evolution brings a full pirate ship into the fight.
With Pirate Ship, a mini ship sails across the battlefield and fires cannonballs while active. It adds sustained ranged pressure and turns Marina’s kit into a true pirate broadside.
Harpoon lines.
Anchor impacts.
Parrot swoops.
Cannon fire.
Marina becomes a full fleet in one hero.

Use positioning carefully. Good movement helps maximize both outgoing and return hits.
Watch for dense waves. Marina shines when enemies stack into clear lines.
