Sgt. Hammer Talents, Level by Level · Guia de Heroes of the Storm

Introdução

In Heroes of the Storm there are no items: Sgt. Hammer picks one talent at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 20. This guide goes through every tier. Your big moments are level 10, when you pick Napalm Strike or Blunt Force Gun, and level 20, when the heroic gets its upgrade.

Pontos fracos
