Tips and Tricks

Boldur is another tank Battleborn. He has a lot of health, and can even regenerate health with his talent and some helix upgrades, but no passive shield. Use this Battleborn hero on the front line to push your team forward. Although he has no regenerative / passive shield, he does have a Ekkuni Greatshield as his talent that can block a lot of damage. His attacks are slow, but they can deal massive damage with or without his skills.

When choosing gear for Boldur, it's best to use items that increase his attack speed, health regeneration, and attack damage. If his speed and regeneration matches his power, he can be unstoppable.
