Kremlin Colonel

'' ' A controlled dose: steady and balanced. ' ''

The Kremlin Colonel is the standard variant of Nekro. It has three charges, heals a small amount and has the standard berserk effect.

Strategy
The Kremlin Colonel is in general a very safe, all-round drug as you would expect from it, being the starting one. Despite this, it does have one outstanding advantage over any other drug, which is that you can berserk three times with it, since no other three-use drugs allow for normal, full power berserking (Blue Lagoon can't berserk, Godmother has weakened constant berserk). It hasn't got many weaknesses either, although there is a minor weakness of it healing a small amount per charge, despite having many charges. This means it takes a lot of time to heal large amounts of health as you would have to heal two or three times. On the other hand, this means you are also less likely to waste it through overhealing, and topping up your health when spare Nekro is available is more efficient.

For players who are more experienced with the game, and better at using berserk efficiently and effectively, as well as requiring less healing due to taking less damage, this drug's true potential can be utilised. Due to being able to berserk three times, the way you would use this drug most effectively would be to berserk frequently to clear areas quickly, reducing threat to you which in turn should reduce your need for healing. This may also create many convulsing enemies after doing so, allowing you to resupply your Nekro. When done correctly you can berserk extremely frequently with this drug, and replenish your supply feeding another berserk, and in turn reducing threat to you reducing your need for healing and allowing for more berserking etc. While not as powerful as White Russian, you can do it more, and still have enemies you kill convulse, which in turn allows you to do it even more.

Essentially, you would pick this drug over others for versatility and for berserking a lot.
