Iron Brago Guide

Legendary
Spirit
Defense
Orcs

Iron Brago is a Spirit Legendary Defense champion from the Orcs built around teamwide DEF amplification, reliable defensive uptime, crowd control, and DEF-scaling damage. Molten Pummeling is a 3.6 DEF single-target attack with a 20% base and 30% booked chance to shorten all eligible target buffs by 1 turn. Fearless Charge is his central support skill: on a 4-turn base and 3-turn booked cycle it places 60% Increase DEF on all allies for 3 turns before a 5.1 DEF attack, then attempts a Stun at 75% base or 100% booked; the Stun lasts 2 turns instead of 1 when the target is under two or more buffs
