Each soldier in the game has a flaw. Flaws are disadvantages of every enemy and hero you recruit. Flaws are randomly generated and don't depend on the class. Unique heroes flaws are not random.
Depending on what weapons, Attachments, Equipment and Upgrades your hero uses, some flaws may not be detrimental to your survival during battle.
