Worth mentioning that Relentless Charge gets BIG boni from strg. The Lucilla mace and it's outworldly strength can easily turn this into - A main attack - Your strongest ability in the group - Highest valor value Use Vanguard as LAST character. When everyone else moved and is clumped up. Relentless will not damage allies which is just perfect to clean up. Relentless charge (2-4) Lucilla setup (2-4) (round resets) Lucilla swing Relentles charge (2-4) Wrath (1) (+Infectious oil stacking from all hits or strg oil) All without anyone else able to move. 4-6+ kills on the end of the turn can be pretty standart. You may aswell get Run on a tank. Get 3-4 enemies together by going in, full protection and let them run on you, disengage out as semi last initiative so nothing messes up Lucilla's large semicircle. Big fun
Love the fact that there are so many viable options for each class in this game - I'm running a tank brute with one handed mace/hammer + shield; Destroyer (for heavy armor + weakening blow); Valorous Duel; Cruelty (which synergizes extremely well with taunt). Provides main tanking + decent damage. Damage potential increases once my spearmen's Team Spirit is upgraded, providing Brutality to the adjacent brute. I love the damage build that you showcased first, but I like having tanks that just don't die too much. Lucilla is just inferior to the Legion Hammer damage build and the one-handed hammer/shield combo. I'll be selling as soon as I've taken out Lund.
It probably didn't exist when you made this video, but giving a destroyer Erkeshet's Mace turns them into a one-shot killer. The inspiration (thanks Armor Breaker!) from that one shot kill allows them to run to their next victim for a weakening blow (which pays for itself if it doesn't kill that target too). If that second target is still standing, you can spend a valor point to bash the target with a shield (I like using Rampart), then finish it off with Wrath. Leaders can sometimes survive the first hit, but still easily die in the first round if the destroyer can reach them.
The definition of a Brute... Brute : (noun) Your local 'friendly' fix it man who believes in percussive trouble shooting. LOL! "Fix all of your problems... with a hammer"
I am rocking Lucinda for the huge base strength improvement so the big valour Destroyer hit and then time the controlling use of the big attack. The targeting delay isn't great but there are ways to make it work. Also Lucilla scales with the level of fight, so a level 7 Lund is possible.
@@ultraweed8376 I have a level 7 splitter & lucinda which add huge stats. But I do totally get that Lucinda is super slow, and I will need to reconsider for the Legionaires hammer instead.
I'm not very fond of status effects dealing dot: Instead of killing enemies in one turn, you don't only need two turns but have to swallow their attacks, too. Another disadvantage: to see those nice dot-effects taking place, you need (!) to delay the kill one more turn, even if you could finish them off in the same turn by using a second char.
The brute is my defalt: Go there kill/capture something and make that "a$$hole" enter combat state so I can capture him" he also work as my defalt tank where I send him to the frontline to get someone just bellow half health so I can capture a prisioner. In most cases I dont use him to kill but just to engage and force someone into combat state. Use one handed hammer and shield so he can survive
i had a guide where they put first aid on a swordsman tank but in my mind thats stupid because the swordsman is always enganged first aid on a brute like u did makes a lot mor sense to me since he is not always engaged due to the nature of his attacks
I got it from the black market merchant who appears at cleared bandit lairs once you hit level 4 in the path of crime and chaos. You can also find a few singletons at the northwestern secret camp in Vertruse.
got a level 8 2* legion hammer with +36 str boost, never looked back since then lol btw can you post a video about skill mastery books? some upgrades seem confusing and some don't even work..
That's awesome you found the super legion hammer. The stat boosts on high level items looks insane. Not sure what you mean about skill mastery books and upgrades not working, so far I haven't found any abilities to be glitched. I will agree that the upgrades and tool tips in general can be confusing, and I don't think it's helping that the studio is French and my guess is the English version is a translation rather than the primary.
@@TeddyNinja i went with the first level 5 skill upgrade for my archer, it says crit hit dmg increase but nothing changed after the upgrade, also spearwall upgrade somehow showed 0 dmg after upgrade so i'm confused. also it would be nice to hear your take on which upgrade is worthwhile since the books are limited
@@ultraweed8376 For the archer upgrade, I'm filming the archer guide either tomorrow or the next day so when I release the guide on that I'll have an answer. On the spearman, I just recorded the guide today and the 0 dmg is a typo, you still get the full attack of opportunity, with the upgrade you get to make it against two opponents. On the books being limited, when I went back to Smot's arena several days after purchasing the stack of 10 books he had 10 more for me, so they are pretty expensive but it looks like they are unlimited.
@@TeddyNinja oh nice, looking forward to your spear and archer guide! And good to hear we’re able to buy more books, guess it’s time to go back to highway robbery lol
@@ultraweed8376 Backing the "nothing changed after the upgrade" suspicion. Bleeding works, but I don`t see more or higher damage crits. Mabe as crit rate on both my archers is close to 50%, I mostly crit no matter what? That is why I have the "metal fist" belt item (+50%dam., but just basic attack usable) equipped on both for fights with human enemies. I switch those for other belt items when fighting animals or phantom swarms to be able to use the upgraded barrage skill.
I do love me some hammer classes
Worth mentioning that Relentless Charge gets BIG boni from strg.
The Lucilla mace and it's outworldly strength can easily turn this into
- A main attack
- Your strongest ability in the group
- Highest valor value
Use Vanguard as LAST character. When everyone else moved and is clumped up.
Relentless will not damage allies which is just perfect to clean up.
Relentless charge (2-4)
Lucilla setup (2-4)
(round resets)
Lucilla swing
Relentles charge (2-4)
Wrath (1)
(+Infectious oil stacking from all hits or strg oil)
All without anyone else able to move.
4-6+ kills on the end of the turn can be pretty standart.
You may aswell get Run on a tank. Get 3-4 enemies together by going in, full protection and let them run on you, disengage out as semi last initiative so nothing messes up Lucilla's large semicircle.

Yeah, I want to like Lucilla, but across my three saves I've sold the hammer in two of them.

What is the strongest Brute build you guys have come up with?
i had a guide where they put first aid on a swordsman tank
but in my mind thats stupid because the swordsman is always enganged
first aid on a brute like u did makes a lot mor sense to me
since he is not always engaged due to the nature of his attacks
Hey why you always have full valor point? Mine is always Zero when starting fight with enemy
You gain valor points for assigning companions to the tent when you rest.
Where do you find/get/buy the First Aid manual?
I got it from the black market merchant who appears at cleared bandit lairs once you hit level 4 in the path of crime and chaos. You can also find a few singletons at the northwestern secret camp in Vertruse.
@@TeddyNinja Fantastic thank you. Didn't know that. Cheers!
Hi Ted, a silly question from me to ask, how to trigger the Brute finish animation? other class can be happen during the fight except this class
The one handed finish I've seen a lot, but I don't think the two handed weapon has one right now because I've never seen it.
at least i still can seen the archer finish xD
How about a Spearman guide?
Scheduled for tomorrow :)
