Otherwise, feel free to use the table of contents on the sidebar to jump to perks of interest. Without CS you have an 11-51% chance to injure on first shot (Hvy Xbow with mastery) depending on Chosen armor loadout. Berserk synergy: Kill into RecoverRecover costs 9 AP. 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. Dagger PunctureAside from just daggering for armor, a dedicated Dagger bro with Mastery using Puncture will really appreciate accuracy help to make up for Punctures -15 accuracy penalty. So I'm not sure what the answer is? Reduces Reload cost for Hangonne from 9AP to 6AP. The Berserk AP allows you to immediately attack again with a Frenzy buff. Recover is a must for this build to continue Puncturing. Our Indom bro is ~3.6x more durable here, not twice as durable as you would have maybe expected. You have higher body armor to help against the far more common body hits, and the rare headshot is shrugged by Nimble/Brow. People have run full Polearm teams capable of clearing fights without taking damage by careful positioning and kiting. Recall that melee defense has increasing returns (see Game Mechanics), and Shield Expert + Heater Shield makes it very easy to achieve high defense scores. + Improves highly valuable accuracy+ Helps weak to average characters contribute offensively+ Provides more help in bad situations Low return with high base hit chance Can be outclassed by Gifted/Backstabber, Returns are inversely proportional to hit chanceThe following tables show the expected hit chance gain (EHCG) from FA for a base hit chance (BHC).BHCEHCG20%13.8%30%10.9%40%8.4%50%6.4%60%4.7%70%3.2%80%2%BHCEHCG58%5% ( Backstabber)64%4% ( Gifted Ranged)72%3% ( Gifted Melee). 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. A tight formation is a good defense here. 2Handers like Mace and Hammer are even capable of one shotting enemies like Footman and Ancient Dead once Frenzy is online. Colossus yields a high stat returnAt only 60 HP Colossus is already +15, which is 3.75 level ups worth of max hp rolls (4). Because light armor stinks without Nimble, Nimble has one of the highest returns on perk point investment. 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. An easy way to do this is to have your LW tank jump 4 tiles forward at the start of the fight and let enemies surround him and your team can deal with the overflow. That being said there is indeed a value to acknowledge in having it on everyone as it guarantees team cohesion on any terrain type, but thats a high teamwide cost in perks so you can make the call if you think that it is worth it. 60 minimum, 70+ before LW is recommended which usually means that you are going to have to pick up Mind. and less useful against low defense Orcs. The new Fearsome is a powerful debuff perk deserving of its bottom-of-the-tree status. Taunt can help them exert control over the battlefield and better support the team. Barbarian Chosen are too dangerous to leave alive for long so it becomes a damage race. Theres not a whole lot to say about Rally. Just keep in mind that Chosen have Crippling Strikes so even if you do survive you are going to get injured. Instead I will be talking about other aspects of the Mastery. With Nimble however, HP is armor so as long as theres life, theres hope! Crossbows/Throwing are great against Chosen both for dealing injuries and killing Chosen faster, and you want to kill them as fast as possible. Neither weapon will be using its special very often as Duelists because they want to be dealing damage. CS is good against them. Early game: Your bros stink and Gifted really helpsGifted is a great perk in the early game. If you like to play that way then this guide can still help you achieve those goals, but it isnt specifically catering to that playstyle. Thats not completely terrible by itself but you have to hit twice per Hexe unless you get a headshot. + A good control tool for your tank units+ Can help protect weaker units from attacks Can struggle in larger battles where you are outnumbered Has to compete with other strong defensive skills Suffers from very rare but annoying inconsistency issues, Basic mechanics and control abilities Costs 4AP, 15FAT, and has a range of 3 tiles Target enemy gains the Taunted status until their next action. Be mindful of enemies who have waited (i.e. Forge impacts weak and medium attacks far more than high damage threats that heavy armor is vulnerable to. Overwhelm forces you to attack on your first action if you want to get value. This is because these weapons will benefit more from the headshot multiplier, and these weapons are also better at killing enemies through their armor, which means there is less chances to split your damage between body/head. Pathfinder also allows two-handers to move in a Oasis/Swamp tile or elevated Forest/Snow and still attack whereas without Pathfinder these terrain types cost 4AP, preventing them from moving and attacking. Unlike Overwhelm Warbow, these debuffs will actually persist past the turn as well, and arent contingent on you outspeeding the enemy. It also doesnt do much in flat normal terrain because you can already move freely there anyway. Anti-AlpRally will wake your whole team (if in range) which can improve action economy in Alps fights. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Students only combat value is faster levels which means you get stat gains a little bit sooner. Even with LWs +15% you still need a very high base RES to safely LW without constant risk of morale drops just from enemies walking up to you. You have to out-speed your opponentThis is not always a trivial task. It gives a passive damage reduction which helps avoid serious head injuries. You have a lot of cheap and weak bros who cant hit anything, have no defense, and dont have enough durability to take hits to begin with. + Auto-pick on your Bannerman+ Helps against specific enemies like Hexe, Geists, Mortars, Priests, and Warlords+ Protects from stat loss via morale drops, and helps gain stats via Confident morale You can usually reach acceptable Resolve levels without Mind, Does not round, so you get +1 RES for every 4 points of real RES your bro has Ex. You can beat Goblin City with units that never put points into RDF. Misconception Nimble builds are worse than Forge buildsIt depends. 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. The key to Gilded fights is to remove the Gunners, so formulate your strategy accordingly. In perfect 250/200 -8/-8 armor nimble + battle forged = nimble + colossus in terms of survivability and saves you some tools. Brow essentially increases your effective HP count, but only against headshots while Colossus increases your effective HP count against everything. I will also answer some of the most recurring questions coming from new players on the forums, and I will debunk common misconceptions shared among the community. If you grab it at level 4 with some Raider armor you are going to get about 6-7 FAT out of it which is really weak compared to other perks you could be grabbing instead. Chosen wouldnt exactly classify as a weak enemy in terms of durability, but we still get HH value on most of our test weapons here. Nimble is much more vulnerable to this problem here than Forge. 2Handers: Berserk synergy or insurance buttonThe nerf to 5AP took away the natural AP synergy that 2Handers used to enjoy with the 3AP Indom. For example, you can run a four front eight back formation where none of the frontliners are connected. For choosing Nimble, for a good Nimble frontliner it depends on their rolled init, though stars in init are nice too. Lastly, with a good understanding of the game and how to properly position your team and formation, you often dont need Rotation at all. Plus: the new LPs and reissues of 2023. Make no mistake, these weapons make for your best Duelists, but the extra FAT demand cannot be ignored, and you will either need an exceptional recruit to support this for an extended period, or resort to using Recover to support it. 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. If you have a good understanding of positioning and how the AI works then you can skip on FW for better perks. They include impactful accessories like nets, grenades or consumables, weapons granting reach, control (Whip or Mace) or shields for protection. I encourage you to read other guides as well and come to your own conclusions where we guide writers disagree.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'gamerofpassion_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_3',105,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-gamerofpassion_com-medrectangle-3-0'); With the Blazing Deserts (BD) DLC out and the Switch release on the horizon, we will likely see an influx of new players that will be seeking assistance. This means that each point of RES you take gets 4 chances to be helpful to you for every scream. With Nimble, enemy ranged units should never be a threat to you (unless you go stand out in the open for multiple turns in a row for some reason). Without FW, if a Warrior is threatening to get around then you need to deal with it somehow. For that reason and because quivers do not cost any FAT, Bags brings nothing to pure archers. It has been beaten without Pathfinder however, so dont feel like it is forced. Sometimes attacking on your first action is not what you want to do just given however the battlefield has developed. For . Simply put, these changes increase 9L consistency in actually giving you a chance to save your bro. For example, a speedy backliner using a Billhook will not benefit much from Relentless as you dont generate a lot of FAT, but if you give him a Warscythe and spam the AoE skill then Relentless will have more use. Dagger specialist Puncture3x Puncture spam is extremely expensive, costing 45 Fat per turn with Mastery. Without good armor, BF underperforms Nimble, let alone Nimble Dodge. It is one of only a few ways to ignore Zone of Control which gives you a lot of tactical flexibility. Is he the greatest damage dealer ever? Defensive Polearm: Shield swap shenanigans are possibleSince Polearms cost only 5 AP with Spec they can operate similar to the pre-nerf Quick Hands builds but without QH. Review: How close does Elex come to Gothic? You can switch out a shield (4AP) and pop Indom for 5AP in the same turn, converting your 2Hander into a makeshift tank, should he find himself under a lot of pressure. See the Game Mechanics section for clarity Brow always reduces the headshot modifier down to 1x. However some people like to hire trash units like Beggars or other cheap classes and send them into suicide positions to protect better units. This logic also applies with the Handgonne. 6AP 2Handers can try and take advantage by adding a 1Hander and QH to switch to on a turn where you want to Recover, provided that there is a kill set-up for you to take advantage of. The advantage of a formation like this is that your frontline has a lot of freedom to do AoE attacks, and enemies that jump into the pockets between your frontline are also going to be very vulnerable. One is that they tend to put themselves in danger, so having an out is good. You can beat Monolith/Library with a few dead perks. 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. Anti-OrcOrcs are both easy to hit and durable, both of which favor Reach to both gain stacks and survive the counterblows from the surviving Orcs. All of them. Tanks are also a great candidate to Adrenaline flank the enemy backline to spook enemy range units into running around instead of shooting. Valve Corporation. : Coat of Plates (-42) drops to -33 with LPR, which then drops to -23 with Brawny Does not effect Nimble% despite lowering cost of armor. Ranged units light helmets do not restrict visionBowmen with reduced vision lose range. If 80 HP is all you can manage, the brother is probably trash and not worth giving a forged set to . Early injuries are betterCS makes you more likely to land injuries on armored/Nimble targets which might otherwise avoid injury on early hits. Gain additional 20% experience from battle. As such, Fearsome generally felt irrelevant in battle. It just doesnt work that way. at all times without running out of Fatigue or having to deal with Recovers normal drawback of losing a turn of defense. The early game is largely spent fighting Beasts and Brigands and Executioner can help you deal extra damage here. Reason 2 is that getting 300/300+ armor takes a long time, especially for many bros, and Nimble will outperform low Forge easily, especially Raider tier Forge. If there is a damage sharing hex on one of your bros but they have 9L then you can still attack the Hexe with impunity because 9L will save you. The penalty to hit chance when shooting at a target that has no clear line of fire is reduced from 75% to 50% for ranged weapons. 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. Accuracy is important and Backstabber offers the mostBackstabber is a solid perk because it is hard to have too much accuracy and compared to FA and Gifted, Backstabber can give the largest amount of skill. Nimble beats Forge until its set with 300/300. Some builds can want multiple A Mastery isnt helping if you switch to a different weapon, FAT reductions do not round, so for every 4 FAT normally spent, you get 1 FAT subtracted FAT reduction calculates after addition/subtraction by Orc/Famed items. If you want to throw these then QH is handy. which scale better later into the game, but if raw durability right now is what you most want then you can pick up 9L. The Nomad faction in its entirety will spam their Throw Sand skill and provide the Distracted status (-35% Damage/INI). As exciting as that sounds, the Shamshir itself is a rather poor Duelist option due to its low base Ignore% and low armor damage. Using a mix of both light armored and heavy armored characters is recommended. Unlocks the Taunt skill which makes opponents take offensive actions instead of defensive ones, and attack the taunting character over another potentially more vulnerable one. stack multiplicatively with Frenzy, so the more of them you stack together, the stronger they all become. Multiplier stacking: The more the betterDamage modifiers stack multiplicatively, meaning if you have Frenzy up already then Executioner is worth +25% instead of +20% because Frenzy is also multiplying it. DEF stacking: LW multiplies lastLW can achieve crazy defense scores because it boosts after Shield Expert, shields, Dodge, Reach, etc. Heavy Javelins at two range with Mastery/Duelist will outdamage melee Duelists (not Orc). If you want to use CS with a Flail then use the regular Flail with Duelist, not the 3HF. Riposte: Value hinges on dodgingRiposte retaliates with an attack for every time you dodge. 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. Legacy info and Blazing Deserts buffsFearsome was historically a weak perk, but received two changes in BD that addressed two of its biggest problems. Forge comparisons down the comments, refer tothis discussion. Against the majority of enemies Brow isnt helping Forge very much at all, but in a few cases like heavy Crossbows and Chosen it can offer some meaningful passive defense. So other than a glowing endorsement of AFP, what is going on in this table? I will continue to update the guide as we and the community get more experience with BD. Against relatively tanky enemies like Chosen/Conscripts, having CS can help setup injuries, but isnt strictly necessary. If you dont have any clear shots then move to a better position rather than shoot at half accuracy. The numerical values include modifiers from Backgrounds, Traits, and Equipment. QH is also a counter to opposing Disarms (Nomads/Beastmasters), as you can swap to an alternate weapon to use instead. Attributes are character stats that affect combat performance. You can build a fast bro who goes early in the turn order to weaken enemy units so that your other bros can get the kills. Single target 2Handers have greater damage per FAT efficiency, and AoE 2Handers have nice AoE skills. AoE attacks: More targets, more checksRegular AoE attackers like Warscythe or Greatsword can do well with Fearsome, as they can sweep into multiple enemies for more checks. Beginners start to panic when a character armor is gone because it meant certain death in the early game. Yes it makes it easier to shoot covered targets, but you shouldnt be shooting covered targets because you are choosing to half your accuracy when there are probably plenty of guys out in the open you could be shooting at with high accuracy instead. Gunners make for one of the better Bullseye targets. Protect against FearsomeAs per the buff in Blazing Deserts, Fearsome is actually meaningful now, making enemies like Ancient Dead/Fallen Heroes/etc. They have it too by the way. Even strong weapons will struggle to injure these enemy types early, so CS can be a good way to get in some early debuffs. + Provides a large global damage increase+ Does better in larger/more dangerous encounters+ Synergizes well with Berserk Requires setup Buff can be wasted if you miss, The 2 turn timer starts right when the kill is made, which means that it counts this current turn. Armor damage = 90 * 0.7 * 0.5(Indom) * 1.15 = 36.23. Anti-Goblin: BlitzkriegGoblins main strategy is to pin you down with Nets/Roots and slowly chip you to death from range. Spearwall support: Knock enemies back outIf your Spearwall gets breached and you want to re-enable it and there is only one enemy currently zoning you, you can smack them away with your shield and then Spearwall up again. If you have Resilient as well then the Charm will wear off without ever actually doing anything. Similar deal against Unholds and Lindwurms. 2H Flail, Greataxe: AoE attacks are awkwardThe spin-to-win AoE attacks are far harder to make use of but can gain huge value from Reach if you manage to get yourself surrounded by large groups of enemies. Characters will benefit from Bags as long as the extra given tools are being used. I know this topic was discussed over a million times but I would like to ask your opinion. QH and Polearm Mastery are great also. The +10 Dog dropDogs count for surround bonuses which also means that they work with Backstabber. Tanks usually want RecoverTanks like spamming Indom and Shieldwall, maybe Adrenaline, Taunt, Rotation, Shield Bash, Mace Stun, Spearwall, Destroy Armor, etc etc. To put that in perspective, Colossus is a good perk and it is only worth 1.25x HP. The nice part about these Duelist options is that they deal consistently good damage without having to resort to special attacks or Orc penalties to do so. Note that Barbarians will often wait turn which gives them the 25% INI penalty for next turn. The takeaway is that stacking MDF is very strong. Alternatively, you can take Gifted for a +4 and then use the other Gifted gains to allow you to skip rolls elsewhere later on to take more +4s in RES. A damaged enemy could very well get injured or drop morale from taking that damage which may weaken their ability to hurt you if they do get their turn. Melee Defense (MDF) gets exponentially more valuable the more you already have. Relentless can also help. As a general rule, the higher the HP the better 40% Nimble gets. Gash also costs a hefty 15 FAT per swing compared to Mace/Hammer 10/11. Famed 300 armors have a wide range of FAT costs that will impact Brawny value. Lone Wolf: You need high RES to safely LWThe LW perk encourages you to run off by yourself which often leads to getting surrounded which leads to a lot of morale checks. So if the target has 70 remaining body armor after taking the armor damage, then 7 of the 10 maximum damage ignoring armor is subtracted, and only 3 damage is dealt instead. They are also not very good at actually killing enemies, so Fearsome can give them a meaningful way to debuff or even remove enemies by dropping their morale. Fearsome however, will make a difference into the speed and consistency of enemy morale drops, giving your team a quicker edge. For example, going from 90 93hit chance( SKL) gives 30% less relative chance to miss (3 10). For sake of simplicity we are going to say that our Chosen rolled 80(middle) on his HP damage roll and 90(max) on his armor damage roll. Resilient gives you a bit of protection here. See the formula below. Formula: %Chance to drop morale = 100 (ModifiedResolve 40 * (1 CurrentHP/MaxHP)) Ex: 200hp Orc Warrior with base 75 RES and no modifier takes 10 HP damage, Ex: Same Orc Warrior with 50hp left would have a 55% chance of morale drop The above examples didnt factor our Fearsome Resolve penalty, if our bro has 50 RES, we apply a 10 RES debuff to the Warrior on our checks, so actual morale drop chances would be 37% and 65% The Fearsome penalty caps at 100 RES which is a -20 penalty Ancient Dead have penalties of -12,-16, and -20 respectively Fallen Heroes have -20, Warlords -18, and Gunners -14 3Head Flail: Only one morale check can occur at 1-14 damage per 3-hit. These points can be . This makes Indom way stronger than you would expect. Halves fixed damage from Bleed/Miasma/etc. Misconception Brawny is an auto-pick for heavy armor usersNo, decide for yourself if the FAT gain is worth the perk cost. Brow has to compete with other strong early game picks like Colossus, Dodge, and Gifted, but it can be useful here to boost your durability. Kiting: Make enemies chase you across the mapPolearms are already a good kiting weapon due to the their reach and 5AP costs. If you use Recover then you can Berserk into it for greater efficiency. Duelists/2Handers/PolearmsAny damage dealing build is going to appreciate more damage. Tanks: You want to hold dangerous positionsUnderdog is an easy pickup here. Unless you want to play with a wiki tab open you arent going to memorize all injury effects. You dont even need to use it all and you can still be completely fine. Costs 5AP and 25 FAT and lasts until the start of your next turn Mitigates both HP and armor damage taken Stacks with other mitigation abilities like Nimble and Forge Halves the damage earlier in the damage formula, before mitigation from 10% of remaining armor and before the headshot bonus. There isnt a single regular armor combination in the game where going NimbleForge is advantageous (rather than specializing), even with LPR. The single target attacks also do more base damage than the AoE attacks. The heavier your armor and helmet, the more you benefit. Against slow enemies like Ancient Dead/Orc Warriors you can easily out-speed them without any INI investment. Since Barbarian two-handers are capable of 2-4 shoting most bros that arent using Indomitable, 9L actually has a better chance than usual to be meaningful here. Ill talk more about this in the use cases. After an attack damages armor, 10% of the remaining armor reduces the amount of HP damage that would be taken. Characters with low FAT can still go heavy with single attack builds. Adrenaline, etc.). 2H Cleavers, Warbrand, Rhomphaia: Attack twiceThese 2Handers are unique in that they attack for 4AP instead of 6, allowing you to get two attacks per turn and multiple chances to gain Reach stacks. Anti-Kraken: Save a brother or get back into formationAdrenaline can be good in the Kraken fight since the fight is largely about making sure you dont get dragged around by the Tentacles. 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. My name is Inigo Montoya. Duelists/2H Cleavers: Attacking with IndomAs per the change to 5AP Indom, If you want to attack and put up an Indom in the same turn, then you will need to use these weapons. The heavy injuries arent necessarily better than light injuries either so the higher likelihood to deal heavy injuries isnt necessarily an upside. + A handy escape tool for vulnerable brothers+ Can be used offensively in creative ways+ Can allow you to be more aggressive, knowing that you have an out Expensive to cast, you may not have enough FAT when you most need it With smart play and good positioning it usually isnt needed Unlike Rotation, only saves yourself rather than being able to save others Similar effect achieved by QH with a Smoke Bomb, Costs 3 AP and 25 Fatigue Can be used multiple times per turn, AP/FAT allowing Can move up or down one height elevation Ignores Zone of Control. Please refer to the Colossus section if you need a reminder on how easily Chosen can threaten Forge units. Recover isnt for everyoneHowever, some players seem to slap Recover onto every bro assuming that it is going to be necessary or perhaps as a safety net. Relentless can help you achieve this goal without having to resort to Adrenaline. You can of course use Berserk without Recover, but if you are worried about this bro running out of steam then this combos nicely. You can do this with other weapons as well but the AP synergy isnt as good. With some luck, you can deal injuries that cut HP by a % on the first attack and potentially deal a lot of free damage. The Gilded weapons are more threatening to Nimble units than Forge units. What are the deciding factors stat wise for you to make a good brother battle forged or nimble? If you're looking for your saved builds, swap back to plain http. However, given the low Ignore% and low armor damage Shamshir is actually only similar Mace/Hammer at injury deliver while costing more FAT to Gash. Frenzy helps feed itself, giving you extra damage to keep the killing going. If you already have Colossus, what if you wanted to double down on the passive durability and grab Brow as well? At night she slips out into the woods and secretly teaches herself to become the cleverest, most nimble knight in the land. ShamshirThe main draw of the Shamshir is that it can deal injuries better with its Gash. Taunt can do well if you bring a tank. Ranged weapons: Easier time finding good targetsRanged weapons have the luxury to choose targets easier than melee units can, meaning they can better use HH to bully the enemies that deployed with crummy hats. The Smoke grenade makes Rotation/FW a bit worse. 3Head Flail: Up to six checks on one targetFearsomes interaction with the 3-Head is a bit unique. For the bulk of your front liners you are choosing between two builds with very similar stat requirements (100 HP after colossus, 105+ fatigue, 45+ resolve). In addition, without some clever positioning on your part, the LW is also going to be missing the Banner buff which is another 10+ RES hes missing compared to normal. Relentless is in a way the opposite of Dodge in this case. If you arent confident in your Warrior game then dont get greedy and just use FW. In order to get high Anticipation value you need to devote limited level ups into RDF, but if you already invested heavily into RDF then you dont need Anticipation. FencersDuelist is an auto-pick for any Fencing build. At worst we get +10 RDF which is modest. While Relentless does support Dodge slightly, that isnt a very compelling reason to select it by itself, even with increasing returns from defense. LW multiplies shields/Shieldwall gains as well. It also works great against Unholds, as Double Gripped it reliably injures unarmored Frost Unholds (600 HP). Even then it still wins in some cases. You can run a damage dealer that runs all of the accuracy perks and no damage perks. Nimble bros will face more Fearsome checks than forge bros. Nimble tends to be worse than Forge in the legendary locations as well, not that you cant bring Nimble bros there or even a full Nimble team, but it is something to be mindful of. Gifted provides only 3 defense but it is always worth 10 pure stats or again 3 max rolls. This is your warning! Overwhelm can limit these enemies. Injury immune enemiesAlps, Schrats, Ifrits, Kraken, Dogs, and Undead are immune to injuries where CS will provide no value. Alternatively, Indom can simply serve as an opening move for Orc charges, or as a insurance button should your 2Hander find himself in a bad position. Then on your second turn phase you move toward them and attack and then use Adrenaline. Forge reduces armor damage takenForge mitigates armor damage received based on total current armor. To duelists wanting to carry many weapon types, Bags will give more versatility and act as a little Brawny. Nimble: 40/160 Brow line beats other 40% Nimble linesNimble does a wonderful job of mitigating the occasional headshot that you might take, but Brow does allow for a unique armor line to be used that takes advantage of how Nimble works.
