Pass1333: Changed Hero to link to Heroes instead of Hero Deck

Defenses are the core to defending Etheria. 
They require Green Mana to be build, upgraded and repaired. 
Every [[Heroes|Hero]] has 4 defenses with exception to Barbarian and Gun Witch, who have no defenses, and Dryad and Mystic, who have a 5th defense to provide a way of healing. 
There are 5 types of Defenses: Towers, Blockades, Traps, Auras and Beams. 

== Blockades ==
Blockades are Defenses that focus on Defense. They have wide hitboxes with a lot of health and a small to medium range cap. 
Blockades deal damage, but they can also have a supporting roll such as slowing or stunning enemies, and buffing heroes.
