Attack1465 Guide: Brakus the Shifter
In short
Brakus the Shifter is a legendary attack champion from the Skinwalkers faction, excelling in Clan Boss and Arena with AoE Increase ATK, fears, and self-healing. His passive grants a revive and extra turn, making him a resilient damage dealer. Worth building and booking.
Strengths
- AoE 50% Increase ATK buff for the whole team followed by an attack.
- Applies True Fear and Fear, controlling enemies.
- Self-healing on A1 and A2, especially against feared targets.
- Passive: when HP drops below 40%, gains +40% damage; upon death, revives with 20% HP and an extra turn.
- High damage potential in Clan Boss and Arena.
Weaknesses
- Low base Speed (101), needs significant Speed from gear.
- Relies on Accuracy to land debuffs.
- Limited use in Hydra and Doom Tower due to weak crowd control.
- Requires skill tomes to reach full potential.
Where to use
Best in Clan Boss (4.0) and Arena (4.0) as a damage dealer with control. Good in Faction Wars (3.5) and Chimera (3.5). Average in Dungeons (3.0) and Hard stages (3.0). Weak in Hydra (2.5) and Doom Tower (2.5).
Stats and gear
Stat priority: Speed (170+ for PvE, 200+ for Arena), Accuracy (200+ for dungeons, 300+ for Arena), C. Rate (100%), C. DMG (as high as possible), ATK% (4,000+). Sets: Offense, Crit Damage, Savage, Cruel, Retaliation or Frenzy for extra turns.
Masteries and blessings
Trees: Offense and Support. Key masteries: Pierce Defenses or Bloodthirsty Prowess (choose one), Invigorated, Gathering Momentum, Constant Onslaught. Blessings: The Cat's Gaze for raw damage, Malefic Talon against debuffed targets, Wand of Submission to boost fears.
Tomes
Prioritize Midnight Rampage (A2) for cooldown reduction and 100% Weakness chance. Then Hunter's Howl (A3) for cooldown and higher fear chances. A1 last.
Verdict
Brakus the Shifter is a solid damage dealer with revive and control, excellent for Clan Boss and Arena. Needs tome investment but pays off.
