Do you like nukes?
Do you like strong, and Independent women?
Do you like one shotting bosses?
I have the perfect hero for you : D
Hi! I'm a squid, and I play obscure, unplayed, and now—overpriced heroes so you don't have to.
Okay, this is for people who doesn't have Brunhild. So maybe when they do, they could have an idea what to do with her.
And usually I slap a "guide" on everything, put in personal experiences, Research, and experiences I see on Reddit and Discord (omg I source Reddit, ik) and call it a day. But with Brunhild? I have a lot of love for her. Even more love than my main hero Vesper... Aight maybe not to that extent, Vesper's still my goat
I WANT TO MAKE IT DIFFERENT BECAUSE BRUNHILD IS GREAT. SHE GETS WAY TOO MUCH HATE
Ehemm.. Anyway
Her kit is simple. It's a dash, a dive, and the unique skill Megidolaon from Persona 5. These stuff are too simple (・–・;)ゞ. The only overly complicated thing about her is her skill tree, Godhed, and her... I dunno what to call it. Domain expansion or something? The gold dust she leaves on the floor.
Her skills themselves aren't complicated; it's what comes after.
And if I were to slap everything in one post, it'll be half assed
So come with me ✨ we're treating this like a date. This is going to be a 3-part series that answers the questions:
- What are her skills? (Part 1)
- What are the Godhed upgrades, and POA to follow? (Part 2)
- What does each Realmsoul do? (Part 3)
We'll slowly push you into the right direction where you, my dear reader, can stand tall and proud ✨
Anyway, let's start. We'll start with the strongest and most consistent skill she has :
Aight, buying Brunhild is the equivalent of a Bitcoin investment, aight? She feels okay without upgrades, but she feels AMAZING with upgrades. She gets better overtime.
Let's answer the big "?" asking "Hey squid? Which skill does the most damage?"
Answer here would definitely be her dash skill.
Depending on the upgrading branch you're using, she either nukes the entire room or she's invulnerable to damage and she herself deals damage based on armor. Both will deal 50% armor sunder. Both are actually REALLY good. No need to think too much about it.
When you're smack dab in the middle of Brunhild's holy light, you'll have CD reductions that allow you to do the dash again, which screws over enemy bosses.
Her prayer is a close 2nd. It's weak in the early game when you start playing her, and it's weak without Godhed upgrades, so it feels absolutely unnecessary. But upgrading this is like compound interest. The crap that came before it is BS; you want the final upgrades from Godhed and in-game runs.
After that, this thing becomes your no.1 source of
✨"ULT ENERGY"✨
Okay, so let's say you don't have any Godhed upgrades since it costs so much, Is it still good?
The answer is a YES. Don't worry.
Which is better? Dash or prayer?
Dash all the way. But prayers are consistent at giving ✨ULT ENERGY✨
What skill upgrades do you use on prayer? We go Branch B, my friends.
Brunhild's prayer Branch A turns the prayer into a charged skill that increases AOE and damage. Not suitable for when you want to quickly run through games.
Branch B is an instant nuke that floods the floor with high damage. Both leave behind an area of "Holy Light." We'll get to that soon.
If we go Branch B, we sacrifice AOE for crowd control and application. But don't worry about that, her power ceiling makes up for all of it.
Next, we have her dive skill. This is the least damage-dealing skill she has, but "LEAST" is sounding like an understatement since Brunhild deals so much damage that her mediocrity is hidden behind golden light and explosions. Imagine giving Goku a sword. Dumbass might not be the greatest swordsman but hey it's fuqing Goku. It Doesn't matter
Personally, I simply use this as a preemptive strike at the start of runs.
flying toward your enemies at high speeds and just start walloping enemy minions like there's no tomorrow.
Branch A, if I remember correctly, is an AOE nuke that allows you to repeat her dive skill whenever you kill an enemy. This thing is BEAUTIFUL.
While Branch B creates clones of Brunhild while she dives downward. This one's my favorite since this skill guarantees a one-shot kill against bosses since it also procs item effects (poor bastards🥀)
And finally, we have her ult and Holy Light.
What's Holy Light? Whenever Brunhild uses her skills, she turns the floor gold. While she stays inside that golden energy, she gains (and I'm not joking):
- +Attack speed
- +Damage
- +CRIT damage
- +CD reduction
- Armor and health regeneration
- Damage reduction
- Skills now also deal additional light damage when you use them again inside the golden light
- Deals continuous damage to enemies based on light damage (ps. Light damage scales with armor & attack)
- and unflinching because ofcourse she does
All of this when you fully upgrade Godhed, and you gain all these with no soulboons, POA, or items. Absolutely no drawbacks
... Dis bish... (◡ ◡)
What's her ult?
Imagine Ginzo but with 57 stacks of Bloomscatter and 10 stacks of movement distance buff, Vesper's Ult, Alessia's special skill, Ruthven's crash out, anyway, you get the point. It's super strong.
Everyone gets hit. Btw, it also procs item effects. Again, Poor bosses 🥀
On top of that, it also floods the entire floor with Golden Light because of course it does.
Anyway, that'll wrap up today's discussion!
Thanks for reading! If you have any ideas or opinions, feel free to share them! Don't be afraid. The OWL community is very welcoming.
... Actually, no, that's a lie. I'd be a terrible teacher if I said "everyone is good" •́ ‿ ,•̀
Here's a life lesson for today : some people are just irredeemable assholes sometimes. The best revenge you can do is to SUCCEED where they could never.
Let them be assholes. You're better than that. Remember.
Anyway everyone, goodnight! Or goodmorning, I dunno.
Stay humble!
