Also bottom of first card (move 4, stun) is much better. Level 4 – I took Unstoppable Charge over Devastating Hack reason: this is no brainier I rather have multiple 5 strength attacks then one 8.Level 3 – I took Brute Forceover Hook and Chain reason: again, two good cards but first have great area attack (upgrade of Sweeping Blow which I discard), which will be useful with War Hammer. I replace and remove from the deck: Sweeping Blow.I replace and remove from the deck: Shield Bash Level 2 – I took Fatal Advanceover Juggernaut reason: very useful top in first card, (used it multiple times on high HP enemies) with great move at the bottom.

In the end I made a decision that I had enough loss cards in the deck plus low initiative (61) here made it unfit for my playing style.Ĭards available during level-ups Level 2 to 7 cards – front row what I took, bottom row what I discarded As for Overwhelming Assault I had some more doubts. Mainly, I discarded all retaliate cards – they are very situational and you never know when you play them, if they will have good usage – I prefer simply attacking then waiting to be hit 🙂 That is why Eye for Eye and Wall of Doom are quickly put aside. So let us see what I decided to choose – for sake of readability, all below images when you click on them opens enlarged in the new window.īasic cards (level 1 choices) What I have chosen as my core set of cards What I left behindĪs for initial choice, it is easier to say what you left behind as poor cards. They actually reflect the play-style of the character and in what direction you would like to develop it. I was able to refresh two consumed items – great combo with my Potions! Fully equipped Brute with six ideal items for his class (at least,in my opinion:) ) CARDS Of course, there should be also a piece of equipment for the head – thanks to one of the scenarios I got hold of Pendant of Dark Pacts and I found it much better equipment then any kind of helmet. Also, I find the initial items suggested by the rulebook quite useful and actually started with them: Thus your equipment should also reflect this. You are a front-liner – and this is true whether you are going more into the direction of a tank or a damage-dealer.

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion – Voidwarden and Demolitionist While enemies focus on you, more brittle, long-range, high-damage classes can take care of opponents in the meantime. The character is an unstoppable and savage melee creature, who storms into the new rooms, soaking up huge amounts of damage and dealing the same to opponents. The name of the character – Brute – speaks for itself.

Hope you will find it useful! Brute play-mat CLASS What follows is my subjective take on that character strengths and weaknesses, suggested equipment as well as card deck composition. So I have spent exciting 15 sessions with Brute, playing the Gloomhaven campaign and I would like to share some of my ideas and observations regarding that class.
