For these reasons Backstabber is generally a safe pick for most bros. Adrenaline is good against the common early game Brigands and Beasts you will be fighting. That being said you can run these without Recover as well, so while this synergy is great, dont feel like Recover is an auto-pick for these builds. Early Game: value first pickColossus is one of the best picks as a first perk. If you run a standard connected frontline then your interior lineman will never be facing more than two enemies at a time (unless you break formation). Going from 47 defense to 50 defense is a massive increase in overall durability due to increasing returns from defense. Out of all of the MDF perks, Underdog is the one with the least strings attached. If you arent confident in your Warrior game then dont get greedy and just use FW. Lets really think about Bullseye, why I think it is a trap, and why you should consider skipping it. Regular attacks that hit the shield only do 1 damage regardless of Expert. Duelist Mace has a 5-27% chance of a first hit injury without CS depending on their armor, and a 40-88% chance with CS. It also helps defend against enemies using Fearsome since it is actually a threat now. Some weapons/builds benefit more than others. Cleavers enjoy FAT support to make Decapitate more accessible. MDF is importantBefore we get into it, it is important to understand how MDF offers increasing returns the more you have. Some perks especially shine in the early and mid game and Im going to be pointing this out. will have a 88% chance to Rally from a 120 RES Rally: (40 RES + (.4 * 120)) As per the formula, raising the RES of your team as a whole as well as raising the RES of your Rally user will both increase the chances of Rally succeeding A bro can only be Rallied once per turn Assumption Max chance to succeed is probably 95% Rally will not work on your Dogs or friendly allies Will wake any Sleeping bros in range (Alp fights). Furthermore, it doesnt cost a perk point since Bow or Crossbow Mastery can be picked instead of Bags. Normal: Death in 3.8 hits. If you look at a lot of old guides, some will tell you that you only need 60 HP on your Forge units. Low HP backgrounds: 9Lives can helpSome backgrounds start with very low HP (sub 50). Shield bros: Not your main killersYour shield bros probably arent getting a lot of kills and they probably have better perks to be using instead of Frenzy. Mind helps maintain higher morale levels, which means better statsMind helps protect against morale drops which would penalize your stats. They include impactful accessories like nets, grenades or consumables, weapons granting reach, control (Whip or Mace) or shields for protection. Gifted for example gives 4 Fatigue + other stats. Super tanks: Set up two-turn Indom + ShieldwallIf you want your tank locked down and sturdy for two turns, you can use Adrenaline to setup a two turn Indom + Shieldwall as described in the main section. Download the zip, and place it in: steamapps/common/Battle Brothers/data 2. The less obvious reason is that every turn they spend trying to break your shield, is a turn they arent trying to kill you. Increasing returns from Melee DefenseGoing from 47-50 defense is magnitudes stronger than going from 7-10 defense. Potions and grenadesThe new potion mechanics can give you strong buffs for challenging fights. This means that you do still need decent RES on your team and cant just run a bunch of clown Deserters at 30 base RES and expect to get away with it just because you have a good Bannerman with Rally. With some INI investment and Relentless you can attempt to achieve a state of permanent Adrenaline. Low HP forged units will underperform both dodge QH and forged fatigue neutral in most fights (with ancient dead being a notable exception). The shield defense bonus is increased by 25%. They have perks like Crippling Strikes and weapon mastery, though. Its not a rating scale. Fearsome enemies will now impart a hefty RES penalty on your units when they damage you, making RES more important than in the past, and making Mind a more enticing pick by extension. Super Tank: Holding dangerous positions will lead to more morale checksDedicated tank units will want a high Resolve score if you plan on putting them into situations where they are going to be surrounded and taking a lot of hits and especially if they are leaving formation. A healthy HP count, AFP, and even Brow if you are worried can all help a bro survive a few more hits, as can debuffs like Daze on enemies. If these guys survive long enough to level up, 9L is a pretty good pick to allow them to distract for an additional hit. Blazing Deserts introduces three new grenades which are all good. Early game: You have many low skill brosAccuracy is highly desired early into the game and you probably have a lot of unskilled bros which makes Backstabber enticing. 2H Mace can particularly enjoy having Rotate in order to have more options on who you can Daze with your attack and also because by itself the 2H Mace doesnt use very much FAT which makes it easier to support Rotations cost. Tanks are also a great candidate to Adrenaline flank the enemy backline to spook enemy range units into running around instead of shooting. To some degree, this puts Fearsome in league with things like CS and Overwhelm, as you are attacking an enemy to give them debuffs. As can be seen in the last example above, we get 4.5 levels worth of +4 RDF and that is going to be even higher at 7 or 8 tiles range. Dagger Puncture: Puncture doesnt get Double GripWhen building a Dagger bro who is going to be spamming Puncture, you can use a shield without any offensive penalty since Puncture cannot gain Double Grip effects anyway. Dodge can admittedly help you avoid some opening shots by enemy range units, but usually enemy range units will target your frontliners instead. Three is that tanks arent your main damage dealers, so if they spend their Fatigue and AP Rotating then you arent missing out on much. Mind does boost the gain provided by Resolve trinkets, Lionheart Potions (for tough fights), and the Banner, so keep that in mind when you are evaluating it. If you have any advice for improving the guide or want to offer a differing opinion then please feel free to share in the comments. Bleeds can be inflicted not only by Cleavers but also by Whips, Jagged Pikes and Irrlicht (Kraken) attacks. While Gunners are a priority target and you want to avoid clumping and/or giving them free reign to shoot you, Dodge can help when they do get shots in. Relentless can hard counter their tactics and cause them to waste turns trying. Kraken is in a swampThe Kraken fight is in a swamp. This makes Underdog a great pick for AoE bros that want to make the most of their AoE skills. Heavily armored enemies can also neuter HHs effectiveness. Bags gives versatilityIn addition to saving FAT, Bags unlocks additional bag slots and at least as much tactical options. It will also be good in the Witch Hut where you face 4 Hexen and a bunch of incoming Charms per turn. : A -8 hat goes to -5.6, which rounds down to -5 cost, meaning Brawny value rounded up to 3 Ex. One, you can use it to help protect valuable brothers you want to make sure stay alive to a high level. Finally, your back line is unlikely going to take any significant damage in a fight. The main takeaway here is that heavier armor helps prevent injuries by reducing the amount of AID that we can deal, and weapons with a high AID are going to be much better at dealing injuries (Crossbows) than a weapon with low AID (Swords). (IDK, maybe you got the joke.). That would have Nimble beating out Colossus in terms of value. + Increases damage output+ Better against lightly armored enemies+ Guaranteed headshots allow for precision targeting for high value Can actually make your bro worse at dealing damage Headshots are weaker than you expect Value is mitigated by Steel Brow enemies, Effective Headshot% gained from HeadHunterBase ChanceMean w/ HHEff Increase25%39.6%14.6%30%45.9%15.9%35%51.6%16.6%40%56.9%16.9%45%61.9%16.9%50%66.6%16.6%. These are all priority targets for Warbows so HH makes some sense here. Cleavers make for good to great Duelists potentially, but there are strings attached. Nimble usually performs better against weapons with high AID such as two-handed weapons or Crossbows, while Forge excels against repeated weak attacks. See the BD section for details on what has changed in the guide since the BD launch. Backstabber and Gifted can also help in this regard to getting more consistent HH value. Unlike Executioner though, Frenzy just works once you have it online even against fresh enemies, which can mean dealing earlier injuries or even one hit kills. It can even be a good idea to bring Orc Metal Shields or Sipar Shields to these fights even though they are worse than Heaters, just for the extra durability. Duelists: Damage perk stackingHigh AID Duelists like Mace can make use of HH. We and our partners share information on your use of this website to help improve your experience. Dodge can help make up for that and it isnt uncommon for Fencers to start the battle with +20s from Dodge. However, pumping RES has other benefits, and can help keep your morale Steady or better so that you dont lose RES (and Fearsome value) through dropped morale. It isnt uncommon to lose bros who get into an unfortunate situation despite the rest of the battle going well and your team being mostly healthy. Theres a clear downside here in that the perk does nothing to prevent bad situations from occurring, it only gives you a chance to salvage those situations if they do occur. You are going to pick it on your Bannerman no questions asked. if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'gamerofpassion_com-large-mobile-banner-1','ezslot_6',115,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-gamerofpassion_com-large-mobile-banner-1-0');For instance, a Fighting Spear (25% AID) body hit rolling maximum HP damage (40) can deal up to 10 (40 x 25%) HP damage through armor. Mace also costs 1 less FAT to swing. + Provides a ton of MDF, which is highly valuable+ Very strong on builds with low Fatigue generation+ Better in the early, more dangerous parts of fights Benefits slightly from INI investment, but does not require it Value drops during the fight Poor on heavy armor and/or Fatigue guzzlers Vulnerable to drop-off from various status effects that lower INI, Value depends on current INI, not starting/max INI Current INI updates in real-time as you accumulate FAT during the battle Heavier armor/weapons reduces your starting INI Using the wait command reduces INI by 25% next turn but this is only for turn order and does not factor into Dodge in any way Debuffs like Stagger/Daze/Distracted/Nets/etc. Dagger Puncture: Injure almost everything consistentlyBecause it completely ignores armor, Puncture is a great way to set up injuries and with CS you can injure just about everything in the game, even Orc Warriors. Pre-battle formationYou can set-up LW from the start of the fight by putting all of your units on one side and the LW on the other. So unless 9L gave you just enough time to solve the problem, odds are your bro is going down next turn or worse later in the same turn order (BD buffs help alleviate this issue). You can also use weapons that have their own debuffs or control abilities, where going first may be crucial. You can do it to your enemies as well. The downside here is that burst damage is usually preferred rather than waiting around for Bleeds, and Decapitate is expensive and requires setup. For example, if you have an interesting choke point funnel or hill that you can make use of but there arent very many useful tiles for you to stand on behind it, then you can use Rotation to sub fighters in and out. Also clears any damage over time effects and increases stats when triggered. This usually sends the enemy ranged AI into disarray. This is because they swing for 15 FAT normally and you recover 15 per turn, allowing you to always swing if you dont move. But what about those pesky Hexe/Marksman/Necromancer/etc. This means your Spearwall is active all through turn 2 and 3 even if you get breached (assuming Mastery). If you like using a perk that I say is weak then by all means continue using it, and you dont have to use perks that I say are strong. If 80 HP is all you can manage, the brother is probably trash and not worth giving a forged set to . + Good for damage dealers+ Better against harder to kill enemies Requires setup Not very useful against weaker enemies. Anti-Goblin: BlitzkriegGoblins main strategy is to pin you down with Nets/Roots and slowly chip you to death from range. The best weapons to use HH are going to be those with high armor ignoring damage (AID). Having Indom can help you safely shrug off the opening hits to build up stacks. Heavy armor doesnt care about ranged attackersAnticipation is poor on a heavy armor user for two reasons. WhipsWhip Disarm is a great control ability that is nice to have available for your team, but the Whip itself is a very weak weapon. Investing in Dagger Mastery (and even QH if you werent already using it for something else) is usually not worth the cost of a perk for a bit of extra damage when you arent getting a Berserk proc. The first Japanese airplane was shot down using the Navy's new proximity-fused five-inch projectile, and the Vought F4U Corsair flew its first combat missions on Guadalcanal. Unlocks the Recover skill which allows for resting a turn in order to reduce accumulated Fatigue by 50%. Spetum: Reach builds while SpearwallingSpearwalling with a Spetum does grant stacks, making it very easy to gain 25 MDF while you have Spearwall going. Gunners are an exception, being the only fragile unit Gilded will field and they are highly dangerous. If your morale drops then youve basically negated your LW buff and if you drop to Fleeing then you are dead. The true immortal guy uses the Davkul armor with Ijirok helmet haha. Ancient Dead, Goblins, Nomads, Barbarians (as of BD), and most Beasts all have Pathfinder, which will put your team at a disadvantage if you dont have it. Overall Resilient is often low impact/situational, but it does protect against some highly dangerous effects, and you may decide that despite the rarity of those effects that protection from them is worth having compared to a more consistently useful, but less situationally meaningful perk. This makes him a prime target for Flies, so Resilient can be a good pick for your Goblin Trophy bro if he is critical to your Goblin strategy. In this manner, Mind is indirectly a boost to your other stats by protecting their loss from morale drops and helping gain Confidence. Goblin City is in a mountainThe Goblin City spawns on a mountain tile which means there is a decent chance the map generation will be disgusting. The following are a few example enemies against an 80hp 300/300 Forge bro using AFP attachment, and with or without Brow. Many of your early game team is likely destined for Nimble so Dodge will still be useable later. Two, it can help you farm for armor much more easily by controlling priority targets like Leaders while your team mops up their escort and later daggers them down. Once the ads are dead the Hexe herself isnt really a threat. However, Spetum and Duelist Fighting Spear are capable of getting procs on Orc Young consistently right away. You dont want to be shooting at half accuracy. Rule of thumb. Before someone calls me out on it, you can use a 1Hander without a shield and appreciate your Double Grip bonus without Duelist, but if this is your main plan for this bro then there is no reason not to use Duelist. Misconception Indom is dependent on Recover to be goodNo. Nimble is economical and has an immediate impactNimble characters only need early Raider equipment which, unlike heavy armor, isnt expensive or difficult to get and repair. to you reader, for your interest in a guide that took a very long time to write to the Steam community for the fruitful discussions and knowledge shared in this guide to the code diggers and wiki editors for their invaluable contribution to the devs, for making this amazing game that we love. Doing this does prevent the Bannerman from moving that turn however. Generally, Duelists just feel more flexible with 4AP attacks instead of 6AP attacks. Im going to be talking about the value gained by the perks themselves rather than talking about the efficacy of the various weapon classes in general. The high AID potential of Duelists make them especially strong against armored but low hp enemies such as Ancient Dead and most humans. Caves of Qud Beginner Guide (Spoiler-free) . The extra defenses, Resolve, and Initiative all help increase the chance that your brother actually lives long enough to get an extra turn where he can perhaps try to save himself, or be saved by another bro. Lesser Dueling options like regular Axe/Cleaver/Sword/Flail/Spear will benefit more from CS as their lower innate Ignore% makes them less capable of injuries against armored targets as the former weapons. Now Im not saying this is a bad idea because the perk is good and consistently useful and it is nice to not have to think about surrounding, but interior lineman may benefit more from other perks. Attributes are character stats that affect combat performance. Some game mechanics will be relevant to multiple perk sections. 45% Juggler/Killer with other weapon bonuses, Famed items. The main problem lies in its inability to deal any meaningful armor ignoring damage due to each individual attack being so weak and due to the way that remaining armor reduces the amount of HP damage taken. ?Yeah I hear you. Shieldwall + Indom is the best defense you can get in a turn, and you will need Recover if you want to do this more than once or twice per battle. It is certainly a good option to have somewhere in the party, but you dont have to be taking it on everybody unless you like to do so. Heavily armored enemies may avoid checks early on due to the Gonnes poor armor ignoring damage, but overall the Handgonne can deliver a lot of checks against most enemies. Adrenaline supportAdrenaline costing 1AP makes Pathfinder more enticing on Adrenaline users, as there are many cases where not having Pathfinder can mess up your Adrenaline tactics. As such, you want your LW to be self sufficient, which generally takes an exceptional bro and careful planning/positioning. Berserk synergy: Kill into RecoverRecover costs 9 AP. This is somewhat similar to CS although with a more focused effect. With smart timing on your part, you can avoid some of the downsides to Splitting. If you have dedicated Mace units for this job then they might appreciate having Mind to make sure that they dont get hit by Charm themselves. That is a huge chunk of defense for one perk and you didnt put any points into INI for it. AP cost of Polearm actions reduced from 6 AP to 5 AP. Shield Bearers Backup shieldsBarbarians and Orcs tend to smash shields and this can be taken advantage of. A great example of the value of this is against Nomads who like to spam their sand and Distracted status. Keep in mind the added FAT cost of carrying around multiple weapons/items. You do want to be smart about it though. I will not be marking spoilers throughout the guide. Even so, the perk remains as a powerful tool for the amount of flexibility it offers. Roman is the attacker and he is adjacent to the blue hat Raider along with 2 of my other bros with Swords. Recover support: Berserk into RecoverWith 4AP weapons you can nab a kill and then use the Berserk AP to user Recover, which is an excellent use of a turn if your FAT pool is capped out. There is diminishing returns on Berserk across the party. Focusing too much on famed armor is a bit of a min-max mindset, as there is no guarantee you will find a lot of famed armor or that it will roll particularly well or that you will find it early. Anticipation on everyone: High cost for ranged mitigationAt a high teamwide cost in perks, you could use Anticipation on everyone (or at least all Nimbles). Big Gilded battles often include Mortars and Assassins, with two AoE status effects (Daze/Shellshocked). Probably not. Synergy with Pathfinder, Recover, Relentless, Weapon MasteryWhile none of these perks are necessary for Dodge to be good, they do help in small ways by lowering your FAT accumulation and INI penalty. My late game crisis is looking like war, I'm only on day 81 so I'm expecting it any day now. I have seen some people swear by nimble being better than BF for most units but if I was to make a nimble character what stats should I look out for/prioritise? That Swordmaster isnt all that scary when he drops to Fleeing while his health is still near full. Added Duelist with Firelance Ignite mechanic. The ability to swap items for free opens up plethora of options only limited by the players creativity and the number of items in the game. + Saves FAT, usually worth it for this alone+ Provides additional boons of varying strength Some Masteries are more impactful to their weapon class than others Some builds dont need one. The Bear Indom and Glorious Endurance compliment each otherThe Bear (Gladiator origin) unique perk requires you to take a couple of hits to build up stacks and gain damage reduction. . Adrenaline/Indom: Strong skills but expensiveThere are many strong activatable skills you can be picking up and Brawny can help you use them more often. This technique has been passed down the Armstrong family line for generations!. Mastery saves a lot of FATMost bros are going to want to grab a Mastery because they are usually worth it for the FAT benefits alone. Blading Deserts added three new grenades (Fire Pot, Flash Pot, Smoke Pot). You have both weak and light armor and weapons meaning you have less FAT penalty coming out of your gear. It is still useful later on as well since Goblins all have high Ranged Defense (RDF) and Anticipation. The higher durability of these units means that they are harder to kill quickly, which means injuries have more time/likelihood to provide value. Built this guy for fun, it's in no way a serious or optimal build at all. Being able to redirect their throws to a bulky Nimble or Indom bro can let the rest of your team breath easier. Greatsword will appreciate the bonus accuracy and FAT reduction for AoE attacks. Similar deal against Unholds and Lindwurms. Ive beaten most of them without Recover but it is a good skill to have in these fights. Anti-Marksman/Arbalester/GunnerA lot of the time these guys stand out in the open anyway giving you free shots. 3-Headed Flail: Split damage is awful for dealing injuriesBecause it is hitting multiple times, the 3HF is a terrible weapon for inflicting injuries even with CS. Dark Age - New Class Scenario Pack. The heavy injuries arent necessarily better than light injuries either so the higher likelihood to deal heavy injuries isnt necessarily an upside. If the enemies fail to breach and attack you then Reach didnt actually help you here, so you may skip it on this build in favor of other perks if you desire. That would put Brow in about a similar position as many of the raw stat boosters. For example, Overwhelm Warscythe and Warbow will appreciate the help, but Overwhelm Sword might not need it. While the effect on Round Shields is fairly weak (compare to Dodge or Gifted), an early Heater Shield buy with Shield Expert and some other defensive perks can make just about any bro respectably durable. Legacy info and Blazing Deserts buffsFearsome was historically a weak perk, but received two changes in BD that addressed two of its biggest problems. 6% chance of hitting heavy injury threshold in 2. However, the gains compared to non-Brow 40% Nimble lines are not especially high, so the perk point might be better off spent elsewhere. Myself and other players have beaten every fight in the game without using Indom. Damage modifier stacking: The more the betterThings like Executioner/Huge/Drunkard/etc. Theyve got curved swords Curved. But if those items arent really used in combat then Bags is basically wasted. Turn manipulation can be helpful to get the upper hand early. Frontline: Youll be in cover by turn 2Anticipation on front 2Handers/Duelists has a few problems. While many would agree that it is generally worse than Berserk and Frenzy, it doesnt mean you cant use all three, and Executioner itself is a fine offensive addition that got better with the addition of the Barbarians, Gilded, and Nomads. Legendary locations: Special battles like Monolith, Goblin City, etc. A 50 RES bro (with no adjacency modifiers or Banner) will have a 65% chance to drop morale on Horrify and a 55% chance of getting stunned (checks rolled separately). This combination makes Berserk one of the best perks in the game for fighting the large and difficult battles you will find later on. In the early game imo 80+% of your units should go Nimble. Thats not to say you cant use Adrenaline with Nimble, just that it is slightly better on Forge to help counter the low Initiative inherent with heavy armor. Getting a Mace bro near her and using Adrenaline can be a great way to try and get a Stun in which can potentially win the fight. Dodge supportYou certainly do not need Resilient to make use of Dodge, but there are a number of status effects (Stagger/Daze/Poison/Flies/Distracted/Shellshocked/Withered) that will reduce your Initiative and kill your Dodge value. You can beat Goblin City with units that never put points into RDF. While the value may be lost on weaker foes, it will help in harder battles (yep, Chosen). Injury avoidance: Head injuries can be particularly nastyThe head injury formula favors Brow, making Brow fairly good at helping you avoid head injuries, especially heavy head injuries. You dont want to spend extra FAT and lower your damage and still fail your Stun because it is only 75%. Relentless can also help. Indomitable, with Nimble and Battle Forged as mere options for those with an appropriate level of armour :-). This mobility is a huge advantage for Polearm users and one of the reasons why Polearm Mastery is so good. Relentless is in a way the opposite of Dodge in this case. With Sword Mastery (BD) and CS, Gash can inflict injuries with just 1/12th of opponents HP (8.3%). Backline Warscythe likely doesnt need the defense. If they get hit then they will spend their turn trying to move back toward your line and then immediately flip back to your control without doing you any harm. Pathfinder is recommended, of course.
