battle brothers nimble forge

Anti-Polearm: Tanks can struggle to draw Polearms without TauntPolearm hordes (Ancient Dead) are highly threatening to your damage dealers and it is difficult for a regular tank to exert his influence over these enemies. if Martell didn't have the cocky trait, he would have won. If your bro is missing his attacks then Reach is not helping you. Fencing: Relentless increases Lunge damageFencers deal more damage the higher their INI so Relentless doubles as a damage perk in this build. The majority of your Dodge value is going to depend on your base INI and how fast your build generates FAT. The extra defense granted by Shield Expert is the most important point and Im going to focus on the bonus to the Heater as any dedicated tanking bro is going to be using a Heater Shield. My perspective is that of Expert Economy and Combat, Low Funds and Ironman using all DLC and no mods. Rather than fish for low chance shots on him, you can instead just kill his escort after which you can safely walk over and finish him off. One mistake players sometimes make is that they think Dodge is a substitution for proper Melee Defense, they spend all of the their level ups on Initiative and leave their defense stat at base. Perks is a gameplay mechanic associated with the level up system of player's mercenaries. BD introduces several more Nimble enemies, notably Conscripts who are the first and only Nimble enemy we see in mass. There is no need to unzip it. Mastery encourages specialization, but it doesnt lock you inTaking a Mastery doesnt mean you cannot use other weapon types. This mobility allows them to reposition a little bit each turn to try and claim high ground tiles, stay in cover, or get clear shots. Most enemy range units actually have fairly poor RSK, and by the end of turn 1 or on turn 2 you can have your frontline in cover behind the enemys frontline forcing their range units to try and shoot past their own troops or move forward. Nimble or Battle Forged are always picked and are must-have perks that dominate any character build. Fearsome: Synergy with it and defense against itThe BD Fearsome changes allow it to scale with your RES. Misconception Indom is mandatory for late game fights, Orcs, Barbs, Legendaries, etcNo. Battleforged is better against average and low penetration ones. Polearm back liners also enjoy having a stronger melee weapon to swap into should they get jumped on by a flanking enemy or Orc Warrior. Adrenaline: Set up a 2-turn IndomAlthough the cycle is dead, with heavy armor, you can Adrenaline, start the turn with Indom, wait (to slow you down next turn), and then your Indom will persist all of this turn and most/all of the next turn as well as you should go near last. Im talking of course about using a 1Hander without a shield. The %chance of a one shot kill vs. an Ambusher with Quick Shot goes from 23% to 43% with HH. This way you will have your Spearwall online for all of turn 2 and 3 regardless of if you get breached. If you position him off left/right to start with the buff then he is rather exposed, so he will need to be able to take care of himself when he gets jumped. Indom is your best defense against this problem. The backbone of the Gilded are their Nimble Conscripts. Indomitable, Taunt, and/or Nets will prevent Warriors from pushing and should be used to control the edges. Recover isnt for everyoneHowever, some players seem to slap Recover onto every bro assuming that it is going to be necessary or perhaps as a safety net. Just keep in mind that Chosen have Crippling Strikes so even if you do survive you are going to get injured. Forge: a safety net60-70 HP isnt safe for Forge in the post DLC climate. Noble Sergeants do this (though not in the smartest way). Named armor efficiency firstSome named armor types are always a good fit, like the Wolf Helmet. This is why even though perks like Colossus and Brow can be nice for the extra passive defense and injury avoidance for Forge, if you are using Indom, Brow is almost irrelevant and Colossus isnt as impactful as normal either. How you evaluate Colossus is going to depend a lot on whether you plan on going Nimble or Forge later on. The Longaxe/Polehammer are also good weapons to use with QH, particularly for units that are already picking up Axe or Hammer spec for their main weapon. For example, a super tank that never cares about attacking anyway doesnt need a Mastery. Shamshir will want the help on Gash. The biggest overhaul mod for Battle Brothers, increases replayability and variety. thanks for your hard work!! Low base HP and 3 stars in fatigue just mean that the stars in fatigue can't be used. I want to put out a guide that is current to the existing DLC, that goes into a high level of detail and nuance for each perk and their general usefulness, while also providing use cases on when you might want to choose a specific perk. I explained this above. You have a lot of cheap and weak bros who cant hit anything, have no defense, and dont have enough durability to take hits to begin with. Misconception Nimble builds are worse than Forge buildsIt depends. Heavy armor doesnt care about ranged attackersAnticipation is poor on a heavy armor user for two reasons. Then on turn 3 you should go last because you are a slow Forge unit, meaning your Indom/Spearwall/Reach/etc holds through turn 3 as well, allowing you to get two turns out of one use of the skill. Having two attacks at range and the ability to target high priority targets before they reach your line can allow Warbows to fish for drops early and often. Polearms (and other 2-tile reach weapons)The 5AP cost of Polearms allows them to be combined with other 4AP cost attacks to make the full use of your 9AP. Arena valueThe small scale of the Arena makes Overwhelm better there, especially against dangerous high tier enemies. If your Resolve target is 60 (going from 48 to 60) then you are getting 3.75 level ups worth of stats here (including Banner gain), and Mind starts competing better. They also have good Dog synergy and good mobility. There are reasons you may want to use those, but they tend to be beat out by other options like Mace/Hammer. Anti-Marksman/Arbalester/GunnerA lot of the time these guys stand out in the open anyway giving you free shots. Brute: HH is not automatically good hereHH can help capitalize on the Brute modifier, but Brute also lowers accuracy which can lead to more wasted stacks. They are very capable of killing a 300/300 Forge bro despite his armor. You have both weak and light armor and weapons meaning you have less FAT penalty coming out of your gear. Instead of repeating myself multiple times throughout the guide, I will explain these here. Later in the game it is still very strong due to increasing returns from defense. Getting stuck in a bad position is the highest cause of death. If using Dodge and having high FAT, Recover also helps you gain some Dodge value back. Vs. AoE attacks: More targets, more checksRegular AoE attackers like Warscythe or Greatsword can do well with Fearsome, as they can sweep into multiple enemies for more checks. Chosen (updated 8/11/20)Duelists vs. Better on slower brosThe slower you bro is compared to the enemies that you are facing the more you gain from Adrenaline. Not having to spend money on heavy armor means you have more money to spend on weapons, recruiting, or famed items. Try and pay attention to this and be careful about using wait turn yourself if you are trying to outspeed them with Adrenaline. A safe back liner can get away with less. Thats not to say you cant use Adrenaline with Nimble, just that it is slightly better on Forge to help counter the low Initiative inherent with heavy armor. Both can win. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. You dont need superstars to beat the game. Gifted is fine still but it does take two of the rolls. If you are going to die without Bullseye shooting the Necro multiple times then you should not be taking the fight to begin with. Even if it falls low to something like +5 then consider that +5 is the passive benefit of Shield Expert and inner formation Underdog. Because Nimble gets huge mitigation to HP damage taken it is capable of face tanking with its HP stat. Comparisons aside, damage dealers would certainly enjoy using all three of them, and they all help improve each other. Brute does however lower your skill, and that can be a good point in favor of Flail. Pathfinder + Mastery can allow you to swing for 12 and move for 2-3 most of the time, allowing this build to become FAT neutral on most terrain types and still move + attack even when capped on FAT. Supporting Dodge value is a nice side effect, but not the main reason to use Relentless. Berserk allows you to instantly attack again with your Frenzy buff, allowing you to get more mileage out of it. I already touched on Hybrids, but you can also make a melee build that combines a Polearm with a 1Hander, 2H Cleaver, Warbrand, Whip, or a Net(s). The only reason Forge might care about Brow is to help offer some passive (non Indom dependent) protection against high Ignore% attackers like Chosen Mace/Hammer, and Heavy Crossbows. Lone Wolf can be good here and can increase Anticipation returns as well. Shielded Fighting Spear will only proc on very light Young. Built this guy for fun, it's in no way a serious or optimal build at all. Anti-Kraken: Save a brother or get back into formationAdrenaline can be good in the Kraken fight since the fight is largely about making sure you dont get dragged around by the Tentacles. They also have Backstabber. : A -8 hat goes to -5.6, which rounds down to -5 cost, meaning Brawny value rounded up to 3 Ex. A tank doing this can jump into or near the Ambushers, forcing them to waste time moving around instead of shooting. Single target 2Hander (not 2H Cleaver): High damage, low FAT costSingle target 2Hander has the best damage per Fatigue spent ratio in the game. This makes headshots weaker than expected, which disfavors HH. Updated Nimble and linked calculations as per nerf to Gladiator helmet. 20/08/25 Added Taunt use case for controlling charmed bros 20/09/2 Added note on QH Whip use case about countering Disarm 20/09/3 Added to Student with Manhunter origin mechanic. A good early game build is a unit with high FAT making use of Mace Stun to control dangerous enemies and farm armor or Flail Lash for easily killing the fairly common Raiders that dont have a hat. If you leave a low HP/RDF archer in the open he can get peppered. With all of those points in mind, people usually pass on 9L in favor of defensive perks that are more consistently helpful, and/or to use escape perks such as Rotation/Footwork. This makes Dodge a great pick for Nimble builds using 2Handers. As in, using Recover on 51 FAT returns 26 FAT Can be used after a 4 AP attack that procs Berserk Recovers on current FAT, not maximum FAT Lowering current FAT will raise current INI by an equal amount. A great example of the value of this is against Nomads who like to spam their sand and Distracted status. The BD Fearsome buff is a concern for Nimble, who tend to get chipped for small hp damage through armor early. This was a core interaction of the Adrenaline cycle and is still applicable, just not infinitely as it was in the past. Nimble and Forge: Nimble and Battle Forged are the go-to mitigation perks so they will be referenced a lot when talking about other perks, as most bros will want one or the other. Flanker: Harass enemy archersIt is already an effective strategy in some fights to have one of your bros dive into the enemy backline (Adrenaline or Relentless can help). Position your LW accordingly on the left if he is to deal with that, or the right if he should be away. As armor is lost the value will slide back up to 40%. The impact of this is marginal at best. With heavy armor you will likely be slow enough to go last on turn 3. Counter high defense enemiesAncient Legion with Tower Shield using Shield Wall will have 50 defense + more if they are lined up together using it. Moving twice with a two range weapon lets you reach enemies 4 tiles away, and often being unzoned in the back gives Polearms some of the best flexibility to move around and influence the battlefield wherever they are needed. For example, a 100 RSK archer only has a 35% chance to hit an Ambusher at 7 tiles with Quick Shot. Hitpoint damage taken is reduced by up to 60%, but lowered exponentially by the total penalty to Maximum Fatigue from body and head armor above 15. Crossbow is the same except every other turn you will have to only attack once and spend the other AP reloading. Due to diminishing returns from Berserk across the party as well as its other limitations that I described, it is completely fine to skip Berserk on some bros. For some bros it just doesnt make a ton of sense to use Berserk such as bros with very poor FAT, shield bros, Overwhelm bros, or setup bros who are designed to help other bros proc Berserk rather than proc it themselves. NetsNets are great. Generally speaking, trying to level your Resolve naturally with a couple +4 rolls and maybe a Trophy is more efficient than using a perk point to fix a bros Resolve problem. Warriors have enough armor that most weapons will have a Fearsome window against them. See the formula below. Formula: %Chance to drop morale = 100 (ModifiedResolve 40 * (1 CurrentHP/MaxHP)) Ex: 200hp Orc Warrior with base 75 RES and no modifier takes 10 HP damage, Ex: Same Orc Warrior with 50hp left would have a 55% chance of morale drop The above examples didnt factor our Fearsome Resolve penalty, if our bro has 50 RES, we apply a 10 RES debuff to the Warrior on our checks, so actual morale drop chances would be 37% and 65% The Fearsome penalty caps at 100 RES which is a -20 penalty Ancient Dead have penalties of -12,-16, and -20 respectively Fallen Heroes have -20, Warlords -18, and Gunners -14 3Head Flail: Only one morale check can occur at 1-14 damage per 3-hit. Wanting to spam skills like Adrenaline and Indom are the biggest reasons why you might want to be using Recover. HH is quite bad on the 3Head even though the 3Head really wants to spam Hail constantly, because it just doesnt work for it. Against Bladed Pike and most weapons Brow is very underwhelming because your helmet is already doing its job to protect you. Executioner vs. Berserk/FrenzyExecutioner is a damage oriented perk which means that it is going to be compared to other damage perks. The majority of battles later in the game feature large enemy parties that often have a number of weaker enemy types in the deployment which usually makes it very easy to get kills to put Frenzy online. For example, if you have 80 MSK / 20 MDF / 50 RES you get +12/3/7 out of LW. The penalty to hit chance when shooting at a target that has no clear line of fire is reduced from 75% to 50% for ranged weapons. Once per turn, upon killing an enemy, 4 Action Points are immediately regained. Ultimately, NimbleForge is a niche combination that can potentially be great depending on luck with named armors but its not a strategy that can be relied on and Nimble characters can already make use of efficient armors. If you are bringing a super tank as a core piece of your Monolith strategy then Mind can be helpful due to being surrounded by a large number of Ancient Dead being a quick path to Fleeing even with the Undead Trinket to protect from the Priests. Is Battle Forged / Nimble a useful perk combination? This means every frontliner can be engaged by four enemies. Bear in mind Nimbles weaknesses when you seek to counter them. That Swordmaster isnt all that scary when he drops to Fleeing while his health is still near full. Try and get high defense and then use Reach to further complement it. Note that Barbarians will often wait turn which gives them the 25% INI penalty for next turn. Any hit during the AoE will remove stacks as you would expect. Anticipation lets you worry less about unit placementAlthough Nimble will do a fine enough job to protect your backline in most cases. Not all Duelists are created equal. LW multiplies shields/Shieldwall gains as well. To put that in perspective, Colossus is a good perk and it is only worth 1.25x HP. Against slow enemies like Ancient Dead/Orc Warriors you can easily out-speed them without any INI investment. The advantage here is that the Billhook does better armor damage than all of those except Warhammer. As nice as that sounds, you are usually better off taking a perk that is going to help protect you from damage and injuries during the fight rather than hoping 9L saves you in the end. Nimble measurements after 80 days only have Padded Leather, Leather Lamellar Armor, Southern Mail Shirt, Basic Mail Shirt. Footwork can only save yourself but Rotation can save yourself or save your buddy which makes it a lot more enticing. For nimble bros, using steel brow and going without a helmet is viable in some circumstances, it looks 40/280/-21 it would be significantly better than standard 120/95/-15. Finally, battles are usually small and short so Dodge getting weaker over the battle isnt really a problem because battles end quickly. You might be wondering why Im creating a perk guide when several already exist. You can avoid this with good use of Adrenaline and/or Relentless. Shamshir is also slightly weaker than a Noble Sword, trading 10% armor damage and Riposte for the ability to Gash. Changing height levels also has no additional AP cost anymore. changing height on snow is 10 normally and 7 with Pathfinder). Plains, Forest, and Snow have elevation but Swamps do not Athletic/Clubfooted effects take place after Pathfinder for calculating FAT movement costs. However, with Indebted capping at level 7, perks are at a premium, and the Whipped status already grants a large SKL bonus, making Backstabber harder to justify compared to other options. 1% injured by 3rd shot. Due to nimble ownership and management, the Market's "financial picture has improved . If you are wondering about Brute, it is only ever so slightly more useful on Flail Duelists than on other Duelists, so Brute alone shouldnt necessarily make you think you should use Flail. You can Polearm (5AP) and Whip (4AP) on the same turn with QH, allowing you to throw Overwhelms around at range. Even then it still wins in some cases. Relentless and Dodge: Dodge alone does not make Relentless goodWhen combined with Dodge, Relentless becomes a weak defensive perk in addition to supporting your Initiative. Otherwise, feel free to use the table of contents on the sidebar to jump to perks of interest. I highly doubt your brother has too much skill and if you have high defense then Gifted is even stronger, potentially extremely strong. Oh please. If you use Adrenaline on turn 1 and have heavy armor, then turn 2 you can Spearwall and wait (to slow you down next turn). Tanks are also a great candidate to Adrenaline flank the enemy backline to spook enemy range units into running around instead of shooting. The longer answer is that there are pros and cons of each. Adrenaline is good against the common early game Brigands and Beasts you will be fighting. Dagger specialist PuncturePuncture builds benefit a lot from Executioner since they can usually deal injuries on first hit and can attack three times per turn. ShamshirThe main draw of the Shamshir is that it can deal injuries better with its Gash. As an accuracy perk, FA often gets compared against Gifted and Backstabber. Nimble back liners have little to fear from enemy range attacks so for them it doesnt mean much (can help against Gunners though). In the early game imo 80+% of your units should go Nimble. Since Overwhelm requires you to attack it is common to kill enemies and not get value. Even if you try a second time and land the hit, you are at the mercy of the turn order and if an enemy gets the next move there is a very reasonable chance he takes the newly unoccupied high ground tile. You get two chances to resist each Hexe Charm (you have to fail both checks) so each point of RES gets two chances to help you resist a Charm. If your morale drops then youve basically negated your LW bonus. Without it, light armor wouldnt provide enough protection and heavy armor, as in the past, would dominate. It isnt the perfect test, but it can help show the relative value of Duelist vs. various enemies. Nets root a target in place, preventing it from moving or being rotated while applying powerful DEF and INI debuffs to it. I have cleared crises in a no-perks challenge and Ive beaten Monolith with a team of Beggars/Cripples, so you do not need to stress so much about min-maxing or creating perfect builds. So using Recover just to use more AoE is actually not that impressive when you consider you give up a whole turn just so that you can hit 2 or 3 enemies next turn with a weaker attack when you could have just taken those two turns using two single target attacks. Heavy Crossbow with Mastery (Arbalester) vs. no reduction: 45-71 armor damage (35-55 x 130%), 70% Forge: 31-50 armor damage (35-55 x 130% x 70%), 80HP, 300/300 Forge vs. Fighting Axe gains ~115 total armor from Forge, %drop morale = 100 (75 40 * (1 190/200)). Misconception Gifted is only worth using on bad unitsNo. Related Perks Adrenaline, Relentless, Reach Advantage, Overwhelm, Indomitable. Relentless starts with nothing and gains some value over time. A unit that is surrounded by multiple enemies is exactly the unit that wants to have a bunch of extra defense to survive that dangerous position. Since Puncture cannot hit the head, these injuries are even more likely. If the first hit deals 15+ damage, then the second hit deals 5 damage, the second hit gets the proc, and the third cannot unless it also deals 15+ damage. To be clear, you do not need to be able to Overwhelm every enemy for the perk to be good, but you do need some stat investment (which is an opportunity cost) if you want to be able to use it against more foes. You dont even need to use it all and you can still be completely fine. The gains going from 210/210 to 300/300 are substantial (almost a one hit difference). : A -10 hat and -20 armor will provide 9 FAT (3 from hat, 6 from body) Ex. Of course you can use multiple stat boosters and a bro using Colossus, Mind, Gifted and Brawny is still completely viable despite a large perk investment into stat help, but if you are trying to get away with fewer stat boosting perks then Mind may not be giving you the highest returns compared to the others. Later hires: Student is greatStudent shines later on when you are trying to get new recruits to catch up to your veterans. Recover might well be a must-pick for this fight. With Duelist these go up to 65/75% which is huge. Nimble beats Forge until its set with 300/300. I encourage you to read other guides as well and come to your own conclusions where we guide writers disagree.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'gamerofpassion_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_3',105,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-gamerofpassion_com-medrectangle-3-0'); With the Blazing Deserts (BD) DLC out and the Switch release on the horizon, we will likely see an influx of new players that will be seeking assistance. Indom is probably the strongest perk in the game, but you are not forced to use it on everybody to survive. Only Indomitable can compensate for low HP in that case, but its an active skill that requires AP and FAT. Remember, the more MDF the better. Dragon Quest III. You can . Forge impacts weak and medium attacks far more than high damage threats that heavy armor is vulnerable to. CS is better against harder to kill enemiesCS provides the most value against Orcs and Barbarians due to their higher HP than most other flesh units. As you can see, ditching our shield and going Duelist makes an enormous difference to the offensive output of the Winged Mace, and other 1Handers will follow suit. In some cases, Recover is a win-more perk. Despite existing early in the perk tree, Brawny wont actually start giving good value until you get your hands on some heavy armor which tends to take some time. What are the deciding factors stat wise for you to make a good brother battle forged or nimble? AP is the lifeblood of your turn, and Berserk lets you get 44% more turns in a loose sense. Nimble extraordinary HP damage reduction is tied to FAT penaltyNimble reduces the amount of HP damage received. In normal battles, Ambusher Poison isnt usually a big problem, but the length of the City fight and the number of attackers means you will get worn down, which means you will start getting poisoned at some point. +5 skill isnt very good compared to other stat perks while +10 is good (comparable to Gifted) and +15 is great. Duelists however can sometimes out damage the 2H Cleavers, cost less FAT to hold and swing (unless Orc), and are much better at dealing injuries. You can deal injuries plenty enough without CS to make fine enough use of Executioner. Injury resistance has increased massively. However, Spetum and Duelist Fighting Spear are capable of getting procs on Orc Young consistently right away. AoE can be awkward as well, as the group targeting can make it difficult to get the target you want to hit with the stack while the stack is primed. This makes it normally pretty difficult to get morale drops on them. An early Taunt user is going to want a Heater Shield purchase and defensive perk support. If you are Taunting then you are giving up on one or both of these skills. Had so much named nimble armour and shields this run thought fuck it, lets use all it and see what happens. Defensive Polearm: Shield swap shenanigans are possibleSince Polearms cost only 5 AP with Spec they can operate similar to the pre-nerf Quick Hands builds but without QH. 8.2% Death in 3. This makes Underdog a great pick for AoE bros that want to make the most of their AoE skills. If you dont have room for both Berserk and Frenzy you can also use just one of them and it can still be good. Even with both low or average HP and FAT, Nimble can still make sense. Recover is the fuel one needs to keep spamming expensive skills. This is a great change, preventing the rare but incredibly frustrating case where your 9L procs and then you immediately die to Bleed anyway. Gifted for example gives 4 Fatigue + other stats. Indomitable can compensate for low HP, which would otherwise be risky. Forge also doesnt care about Bleed/Poison because heavy armor already does a very good job at preventing those. Three attacks per turn also synergizes well with things like Overwhelm and Fearsome. This build can work very well in Goblin fights with the Goblin Trophy to prevent rooting (and Resilient to protect from Flies). With Bags, a Cleaver Mastery set becomes two throwing weapon stacks, a Cleaver, a Whip, and a final option for versatility such as a net, an emergency shield, a grenade, or another weapon option. After -15 Nimble armor and a weapon you are going to be around 70-80 which means you start the battle at +10-12 defenses. That being said, even with Shield Expert they will still break eventually (even quickly). Nimble characters can wield two-handed weapons, shields or other tools to great effects. If high fat(130+) and average hp then bf. Fearsome however, will make a difference into the speed and consistency of enemy morale drops, giving your team a quicker edge. This logic also applies to the Handgonne. Brow and GiftedThe aforementioned discussion also analyzes the impact of Brow and Gifted on Nimble.Gifted provides an additional 3 Defense and 5 HP (Colossus) which particularly benefits Nimble. The third way is to have high base MDF. For example, an Overwhelm Warscythe or Warbow might never be in danger to need the Dodge defense, but can appreciate Relentless helping them dole out their Overwhelm stacks to better support the team. On a bro with low Initiative after his gear and/or who generates Fatigue very quickly Dodge wont be as useful, but otherwise it is usually worth a consideration due to just how strong Melee Defense is as a stat.
