Overall
Hendrik is a protector-tank whose kit converts his own durability into team survival and crowd control. His health pool is massively inflated at the start of battle, and all his attacks deal bonus damage scaling off that max health — making him hit harder the tankier he is. His ultimate stun scales with missing health, starting short and extending dramatically as he takes damage, rewarding him for being in the thick of a fight. Shield Bash knocks back and debuffs a single target's damage output after the stun ends. His signature defensive ability intercepts fatal damage aimed at a backline ally, absorbing all their incoming hits with heavy damage reduction and mind-control immunity. When his own health drops low enough, he enters a defensive stance that rapidly regenerates health with temporary damage immunity. He also passively shares defense rating with an adjacent ally based on formation positioning.
