Tactics[]

I don't know what the community concensus is on including tactical information here, but just in case, I'll provide you with my observations:

I highly recommend using the tendril power to immobilize and dismember these. Tapping the tendril button strings them up, at which point the player is given a prompt in order to sever one arm. This can be repeated, but the player will be prompted to give the brawler a dirtnap. Alternatively, pressing the same button as the first time around should sever its other arm. This is fantastic for locking down single brawlers, in my experience. It is even effective with multiple brawlers, imobilizing several before executing a combo on one (or two, if quick) without interruption.

Using the shield block on brawlers is similarly effective. If timed to intercept their strikes, the brawler will be momentarily stunned and the player is prompted to dismember it. Subsequent uses on the same brawler will prompt the player to perform the dirtnap move instead, but the victim can still be further dismembered, as with tendrils. If multiple brawlers are attacking simultaneously, this can be a great way to disarm several of them (pun intended).

I'd like to hear of other powers or techniques that have proven effective (or just plain fun) for you.

Edit: I read the Relevancy Policy, so I understand that much of this will probably need to be rewritten or discarded. -- Lexmechanic 20:25, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
