==Tips and Tricks==
===Hero Synergy===
=== Strategy ===
Warhead serves the purpose of a fast-moving tank with high area control capabilities. He has impressively high durability, allowing him to tank even the nastiest of enemies for a while. This, combined with his fast speed, allows him to reach any point around the map where he is needed quickly, making him an effective tank for any stage. You can also use his high speed to pull him out of combat and allow him to heal, before quickly putting him back in.
Other than tanking, warhead is also reliable for helping to keep small swarm enemies in check. This is due to how most of his abilities deal area damage. However, he is not good at all for single target damage, so don't expect him to solo anything reasonably strong, at least not very quickly.
Warhead's hero spell, Motor Head, is amazing for clearing an entire lane of weak enemies while damaging stronger ones noticeably, but be aware that it cannot damage flying enemies.
