Daopa's guide and personal take on this character:
Use charge to burst thru areas and drag enemies in your way. Fire Strike is great for long range damage application, focus on support targets. Shield is great to force your way closer to a group of enemies or to protect your teammates from extreme damage. Main task for tank role character is to protect your team, disrupt enemies and lead the charge.

Reinhardt's hit points is currently set to 500 and has no quick melee ability.
