The Charging Brute
Charging Brutes are tripedal Bio Minions that are exclusively found on the planet Verdanth. They attack primarily by charging at Heroes, usually the closest one, but can also charge at the furthest.
Strategy[]
Charging Brutes are tough minions to deal with, not only because they apparently have higher health than most Minions, but also because they can deal a decent amount of damage when they charge. But at close range, they will simply use a basic melee attack.
To deal with multiple Brutes, you would want to use an ability such as Maldri's Probability Assault squad ability , so when they hit you or are hit by you, they will be given a disabling debuff. This makes them much easier to deal with.
Another possibility is to use Arakna's Phantom Burst unique ability, which at full strength easily kills any incoming Brutes before they reach you.
Since these Brutes can close-in quite quickly when they charge, an AoE slow such as the Quantum variant ability Time Bubble can be very effective against them, as it severely reduces their speed and makes them easier targets.
One could also use Sage's Strangling Briars squad ability to both slow them down and deal damage to them. However, actually using Sage himself against Charging Brutes is ill-advised, because both are Bio-genetic, meaning Sage will automatically be Critically injured by the already high damage output of their charge.
Trivia[]
- The Charging Brute's lore is unknown due an error in its profile on Darkspore.com, which was displayed only as "???0x7035c5c7!0X8044CA60.DESCRIPTION_KEY???".
- Charging Brutes are somewhat similar to Frogs and Toads, both in appearance and ability. This would indicate that they are descended from amphibious creatures, but that is unknown.
