Hero · Rune Level 149 · 1337 attack power

The build

Sixty Strength, a Heavy-affinity Giant-Crusher, and no interest in dodging. Great-Jar's Arsenal is mandatory — Bull-Goat plate plus a colossal weapon overloads you without it, and even with it you need Endurance in the fifties to hold a medium roll. The off-hand stays empty: you are two-handing everything anyway.

Counsel

Poise Trader
OffenceSurvivalPoiseMobilityUtilityStatus

You are built to eat a hit and finish the swing anyway. Do not dodge attacks you can absorb — trade, and win the trade on raw damage.

Charged heavies grant hyper armour from the first frame. Use them as your neutral.

Two-hand everything: 1.5× Strength is free attack rating.

Your worst matchup is anything faster than you. Bait, then commit.
