Heinrich Animus Spotlight

Heinrich, the Godslayer Guns, is one of Etheria: Restart’s most dangerous debuff-focused DPS characters.

He combines strong single-target burst with AoE pressure, layered with consistent buff removal, buff blocking, anti-heal, and crit vulnerability debuffs. With a kit built to tear down defensive teams and shut down healing, Heinrich dominates in both PvP and key PvE bosses like Terramaton.

In this article, we are going to be breaking down the best ways to utilize Heinrich, and how to gear him for the best possible results.

Skill 1: Farewell Shot

Deals 240% damage to a single enemy and has a 45% chance to inflict Buff Block for 1 turn.

Reaper’s Gaze Passive:

• Each attack has a 50% chance to dispel one buff.
• If the enemy has no buff, 80% chance to inflict Last Words.
• Last Words: Increases Crit Damage taken and Crit Rate taken by 7%, stacking up to 4 times.

Skill 2: Fatal Split Bullet

• Shoots 3 times
• 180% to a single enemy
• 180% to a random enemy
• 180% AoE hit
• If the target has no dispellable buffs, 65% chance to apply Anti-Heal for 2 turns.

Skill 3: Inevitable Fate

• 3 AoE hits of 100% damage.
• Final hit has a 65% chance to apply Buff Block for 2 turns.
• Each Last Words stack increases this skill’s crit damage by 30%.
• Huge synergy with his Skill 1 passive—scales massively when Last Words are stacked.

Skill 3: Top Priority

• Boosts damage and buff block chance to 50%.
• Increases Crit DMG per Last Words stack.
• Reduces cooldown by 1 turn.
• This is Heinrich’s key nuke tool and essential for auto content like Terramaton.

Skill 1: Second Priority

• Boosts base damage and buff strip chance.
• Increases Last Words duration to 3 turns.
• Helps set up Skill 3 for max damage scaling.

Skill 2: Last Priority

• Boosts all damage hits to 180%.
• Improves Anti-Heal proc chance.
• Reduces cooldown.
• Useful for disrupting healing comps and spreading damage wide.

Heinrich thrives with crit-based damage gear supported by effect accuracy to land debuffs. His damage scales off crit and debuff uptime, so his gear must balance power and utility.

Early Game Sets:

• Onslaught: +45% ATK – reliable, easy-to-farm boost.
• Bramble: +10% DEF and 25% counter – good passive chip and extra debuff procs.

Mid Game Sets:

• Momentum: +12% CRIT Rate, +6% DMG per debuff (up to +30%) – ideal synergy with his Last Words debuff engine.
• Harvest: +10% ATK and ignores 30% DEF if target is over 50% HP – helps him finish off full-health targets.

Late Game Sets:

• Swift Raid: +15% SPD, +20% ATK – balances turn cycling with high offense.

• CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / ATK% – Ideal offensive core
• Effect Accuracy – Critical for landing Last Words, Buff Block, and Anti-Heal

Early Game:

CRIT Rate / ATK% / ATK%

Late Game:

CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / ATK%

Effect Accuracy becomes key as secondary/substat focus.

Early Game:

• Agent Lizard: Basic offensive bonus.
• Budo Panda (Apate): Helps boost early aggression.

Mid Game:

• Twilight Knight (Fabian): DEF Down on lowest-HP enemy – strong synergy with Skill 3.
• White Fang (Nikadata): 2×120% follow-up and stacking CRIT DMG bonus – high synergy with Heinrich’s kit.

Late Game:

• Count (Astarte): +40% ATK and 3-turn Life Leech – helps offset squishiness.
• Swift Shells like Electro Squid or Gigabyte can also offer rotational value or healing boosts.

Pros:

• Buff Dispel, Buff Block, Anti-Heal, and Crit Vulnerability all in one kit.
• High AoE burst potential with Last Words stacking.
• Extremely strong in PvP vs buff-heavy teams and in PvE vs sustain-based bosses.
• Flexible scaling – works with crit-based and debuff-based team comps.

Cons:

• Squishy – needs sustain or lifesteal to survive.
• Relies on setup – needs allies or speed-tuning to rotate cleanly into Skill 3 burst.
• Needs Effect Accuracy to hit full value.
• Less reliable if enemy cleanses or resists too often.
