Player reviews

Players call it a “cavalry machine gun”: the rage accumulates so quickly that the nukes come one after another. Recommended to everyone who plays cavalry in the field. Minus - like all nukers, he is afraid of infantry tanks with anti-skills.

Adviсe

Huo Qubing is the king of finishing moves: keep him on the flanks and cut down the retreating ones. Doesn't work well against Richard and Constantine - choose targets without strong skill protection.
