This way, you can have that mover continue to use their forward ability after Holy Lance, or leave the Crusader in row 2. Man-at-Arms’ Rampart, Jester’s Dirk Stab, etc). If you want to mimic that, then start Crusader in row 3, and whomever is in row 2 should have an ability that moves them forward (i.e. Post Release: Ouch, Crusader got nerfed! Losing access to Holy Lance in row 2 is a huge deal, since now you can’t have him be ranged and melee DPS at the same time. Despite Holy Lance though, the Crusader is primarily a melee hero, so plan around that. The Crusader can function as a tank with his Stunning Blow and Bulwark of Faith, but just as easily provide some supporting heals. However you utilize the Crusader, he’s going to get the job done. If you’re going into the Ruins, take this powerhouse with you! The Crusader is one of the hardest hitting heroes (tied with Hellion, behind both the Leper and Abomination) and extra damage to unholy solidifies his rating at 9.
