Recommended Substats

Effect HitMelee DMGCrit Rate

Bruford punches above his R rarity as an Assault execute specialist: Coup De Grace dumps massive Attack % plus missing-HP damage, while Life-Leeching Hair and Bleed synergy keep him sticky in melee. Danse Macabre Hair is solid AoE filler that also shortens on basics. B+ feels fair — he is one of the better low-rarity Assault options if you need a greedy frontliner who finishes wounded targets.
