![]() ![]() Alternatively there are a few more generic strategy articles. Likewise, I do use images from our Gloomhaven adventures in this article – so if you don’t want to see any photos of potential scenarios you haven’t done yet then please consider yourself warned. Right, now all the boring spoiler alerts are out the way, shall we talk about the Gloomhaven Brute? Yes? Let’s do this. I’m going to set this out like I did my the other Gloomhaven strategy article because consistency is the spice of life – or something like that. That being said – this isn’t so much a strategy as an exploration of the class at lower levels. Whilst it seems very simple to pinpoint straight out of the box as being the thug of the party, it doesn’t quite play out that way. ![]() Our very first game, we all hid behind the Brute, sending them forward to certain doom because we thought (very wrongly) that it was the best combat based class in Gloomhaven. Where it is very good, it feels like a bit of a misconception to discuss which the best or worst classes are due to how different they all are. ![]() The Brute is very good at combat, but he/she/it is very good at a specific type of combat. The Brute in Gloomhaven is kind of the equivalent of a cannonball made out of butter. Yes, you can freeze it and it will do a lot of damage however, if it stays in one place for too long it will go soft and collapse pretty quickly. This means the Brute needs to stay alive, and luckily, he/she/it is pretty good at doing that. Despite the name, the Brute is not a purely offensive character, but instead, is a character who needs to consider defence just as well. It can deal out a lot of damage early on in the game, making it an incredibly useful tool, with cards that do 2, 3, and 4 damage as a base.įighting demons and things that look like Ringwraiths… The Brute Strategy of Becoming a Tank Of course, the Brute is about one word and that word is damage. Like the Mindthief has a strategy revolved around the gaining and acquisition of experience, the Gloomhaven Brute has a strategy around becoming an absolute beast in combat. Time and time again we have had that “Hulk Smash” moment, and it is all due to the Brute being able to transform. Of course, when we talk about transforming the Brute we are not, oddly enough, talking about increasing the damage it can do in combat. Instead, we are talking more defensively. ![]()
