1. Foreword
Engineer, a very unique hero to HoN is destined to be a very high tier player hero. With several unique abilities that can be used to gain amazing advantage over a the enemy team and in most cases can and will be game breaking.
2. Playstyle
The Engineer is NOT, I repeat NOT a carry hero. He is however an amazing ganker, and support hero providing the skills needed to keep your team alive, get the focus fire off the carry and stop the enemies in their tracks.
His goal early game is to stay alive in the lane, he should be placed as a baby sit hero with a carry. His attack animation is nothing to get excited about, in fact it is probably one of the worst in the game. However once you have learned how it works, he can be a deny monster.

Warding
You have 400 range to "throw" your turret, and the turret has the same amount if not more sight then a normal ward does and it is free! So your goal will be to use it as a 30 second spawning ward.
