==Tips and Tricks==
* Grimson excels at staying in the fight for extensive periods of time. He is able to reliably deal with both weaker enemies and is able to go toe to toe with stronger foes. Renew Flesh makes him one of the best stallers and duelists in the game provided there is a steady flow of weak enemies to feast off of, but if there is, he can stay fighting almost indefinitely. 
* Inner Beast further boosts his survivability by transforming him at critical health and grants him massive lifesteal for the duration.
* In a pinch, Grimson is capable of surviving an attack from bosses. This combined with Inner Beast can let him heal a huge portion of his health provided other units can tank the boss while he heals off it.
