Player reviews

Players call him the “executioner of the battlefield”: while the enemy is intact, Heinrich is ordinary, as soon as he weakens, the numbers soar. Advice: as number two behind the nuker, he is scary.

Adviсe

Place Heinrich as number two behind the commander, who quickly removes half the target's health. Excellent for finishing off retreating and assaulting objects.
