Engineer build analysis
Engineer is an ordinary offensive hero. Compared with the other 79 offensive heroes in the database, Engineer has lower base numbers than most of its class, which is expected for an ordinary hero. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is insignia (Oracle's Favor Insignia, 14.4%) and the least settled is pet (Rainbow Flash, only 5.7%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
How settled is each slot?
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Engineer's top talent, Flame Guard, is picked 7.4% of the time, which is 17.1 points less settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Flame Guard (7.4%) | Revitalize (6.5%) | no consensus |
| Insignia | Oracle's Favor Insignia (14.4%) | Saint's Favor Insignia (12.6%) | no consensus |
| Square Insignia | Inspire Insignia (12.1%) | Spike Shield Insignia (10.3%) | no consensus |
| Pet | Rainbow Flash (5.7%) | Drako's Breath (4.7%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.

Heroes with similar builds
One other hero shares Engineer's core pairing of Flame Guard + Oracle's Favor Insignia: Cyclops. If you're rebuilding one of them, the same talent and insignia usually carry over.
Looking at every slot, not just talent and insignia, these heroes' builds overlap most with Engineer's:
- Executioner (elite, crowd control): overlap score 112, same top talent (Flame Guard)
- Assassin (elite, offensive): overlap score 107
- Pain-Da (elite, offensive): overlap score 103
- Angel (ordinary, support): overlap score 102
Overlap score adds up the shared pick rate across all six slots. 0 means nothing in common, and 600 would mean identical builds.
