🔑 How to unlock Heiner
Not unlocked by default — recruit him through an in-game quest.
- Go to the Crumbling Tower node on the first map (The Kingdom of Senenthia).
- Take the Velkarath Mountains next, then follow the middle path to the "Gates of the Black Forge" node and enter. Win the fight — the loot includes a new golem core, and Heiner unlocks.
How to play
The team's wall. Soak hits with Block/Fortify, Taunt enemies onto himself, and chip with his Laser/Overheat cards. Very durable at normal/low Madness.
Best cards›
- Guard — cheap Block
- Steelskin — big self Block scaling
- Intercept — Block + retaliate
- Sunder Armor — strips enemy armor for the team
- Heat Laser / Fusion Laser — his main damage
Key perks›
Steel Forge + Defense Mastery + Indomitable for max survivability; Reactive Laser if you want more damage.
Popular builds community›
- Damage-tank — his combat-start Block/Fortify is basically free, so spec Burn + Blunt damage and Vulnerable stacks instead of more defense (Heat/Fusion Laser).
- Pure wall — max Block/Fortify/Taunt + Speed for the highest Madness.
Synergies community›
Classic tank behind any carry. Pairing with Ottis over-shields — give one of them damage/Vulnerable. Standard tank in the Nezglekt+Gustav+Sylvie insanity comp.
Co-op tip 2-player›
The ultimate babysitter — his combat-start Block keeps a fragile partner alive turn 1. Weakness: low Speed, so build Speed items/perks or high-Madness first-turn bursts hurt.
