Player reviews

Reviews: “cavalry that knows how to live.” Players note that Nevsky is especially good in unequal battles - his nuke hits harder when there are more enemies. Recommended as a second cavalry team after the meta-duo.

Adviсe

Ideal for players of average power in large teams: auras work for allies even with an incomplete squad. Don’t bet against an anti-healer without cover - he has no heal, but he has shields and auras.
