This makes it a great gun for people looking to play Scouts and for Run 'n Gun tactics. It has decent accuracy, decent range, and a good mobility. It is the only semi-automatic secondary (that doesn't require a gampass). Being semi-automatic with a relatively high capacity for a secondary.
In-game the Hera is a very powerful and formidable secondary. It is part of the Phantom Corps line that is sort of a 'rogue' team in the RIVAL series that can join either Team Blue or Team Red. People prefer the Hera over the Zeus due to its compactness and better ergonomics, as reloading the Zeus was quite cumbersome. It is sort of a successor to the Zeus in a more compact package. The Hera is a semi-automatic flywheels blaster that shoots High-Impact RIVAL rounds.
