Underpriest Brogni — guide

In short

Underpriest Brogni is a legendary Dwarf support who excels in Clan Boss, Hydra, and Arena. His signature move is an irremovable team-wide Shield that mitigates damage, heals allies, and reflects damage back to enemies. Build him with HP and Speed, invest tomes, and he will carry your teams.

Strengths

• Irremovable team Shield equal to 30% of his Max HP — the backbone of your team's survivability.
• Passive "Redoubt": allies under Shield reflect 25% of absorbed damage back to the attacker and heal for the same amount.
• A2 removes one random debuff from each ally and one random buff from each enemy, then strengthens the team's Shield by 30% of the damage dealt.
• A3 places Block Debuffs and Increase ATK 50% on the whole team for 2 turns — a powerful buff package.
• High base Resistance (90) and a +90 Resistance aura in Doom Tower.

Weaknesses

• Low base Speed (100) — needs significant Speed from gear and masteries.
• Damage on A1 and A2 scales with ATK, which is very low (782), so his personal damage is negligible.
• Passive does not stack with other similar skills — only one "Redoubt" works in a team.
• Requires many tomes to reduce cooldowns and increase debuff/buff removal chances.

Where to use

Best in Clan Boss (5.0), Hydra (5.0), and Faction Wars (5.0). Excellent in Doom Tower (4.5), especially against bosses like Borgoth and Grythion. Useful in Arena (4.0) and Dungeons (4.0), though slightly less dominant. Decent for Chimera (4.0) but less ideal for hard-mode content (3.0).

Stats and gear

Stat priority: Speed (target 220+), Accuracy (for buff/debuff removal, 250+), HP (bigger Shield), Defense, and Resistance. Ignore Crit. Recommended sets: Life, Shield, Divine Life, Resilience, Protection, Bolster — anything that boosts HP and team protection.

Masteries and blessings

Masteries: Pierce Defenses, Invigorated, Survival Speed, Unflinching, Damage Mitigation, Buff Depletion, Bolstered Defense. Blessings: Cruelty (reduces enemy Defense) or Brimstone (extra damage against bosses). Relics: Malefic Talon, Golden Elixir, Volcardiac Heart.

Tomes

Invest tomes without hesitation. Prioritize A3 (Eternal Radiance) for cooldown reduction — this is his core ability. Next, A2 (Grave Call) for 100% buff/debuff removal chance and lower cooldown. A1 can wait.

Verdict

Underpriest Brogni is one of the best supports in the game, single-handedly carrying team survivability across all content. Build him tanky and fast, and don't skimp on tomes.
