So today in the rush tournament I ran up against a player who had some hero I had never seen before called “Brynhild” front and center. I never even stood a chance LOL I was able to take out the two heroes on the top left and right corner, but that was it. It was pretty hilarious to watch.
My question is, for the future, what sort of tactics do you use to counter this?
You can’t dispel Brynhild, but you can flip her buffs.
So Mist is the prime counter to her, since she flips both her buffs into debuffs and prevents her from buffing with further activations.
If you don’t have Mist, then grab Little John or Proteus (or anyone who interferes with Mana or skills – think Hansel, Gretel, Merlin, Peters, Li Xiu, etc.) and bring them instead. The mana speed buff is the primary thing you want to watch out for – when Brynhild is supported by strong flanks, they can overwhelm you fairly quickly while Brynhild keeps healing them.
Sidenote: I think Brynhild is the best 4* tank in the game. Definitely not up to par with the best 5* options but I’d rank her a low A as tank.
I usually use Proteus and Merlin to counter Brynhild but out of bored, I went mono with Wilbur, BT, G.Falcon, Scarlett and Sir Lancelot against two Brynhild flank. I managed to work my around the bad board starting and Brynhild & co quickly disappeared.
Mono only required 4 - 5 tiles to kill a Brynhild.
It was your thread that made my mate level his and chuck 20 emblems on. He didn’t have a 5* worthy so I convinced him from your experience. So thanks for that, it’s definitely helped
Mono coloured team can kill any tank in 3 or 4 tiles… But here catch is that u should be lucky enough to start with favourable tiles…
That’s a gamble which often pays off…
If u r not a mono colour player, then bring some mana blockers and atleast two snipers…
Mono vs Brynhild works better because she is passive and doesn’t punish you, only delay you. So you have more of a buffer to get the favourable tiles to take her out and charge yourself before the flanks and wings come into play
