I replace and remove from the deck: Grab and Go

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.


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.
