Unlike most of the other defender characters, players can use Heaving in both offensive and defensive strategies. Offensively, Heavy has high damage which can be used to clear low-health enemy characters and squad pushes. His gun range ability also makes it difficult for enemy squads to run away.

Heavy also has one of the highest health points in the game, so players can easily use him as a tank in front of low-health, high-damage characters like Archer Queen and Colt. He can easily eat a lot of enemy damage while also attacking them. Heavy has an excellent squad synergy in Squad Busters with Barbarian King and Barbarians.

His faster shooting ability is quite powerful and can easily take down even tank troops. He also heals himself when not moving, so players should take small breaks in between fights allowing Heavy to heal.
