Best Brunhilda Build, Arcana & Guide for 2026

Brunhilda
Marksman
Introduction to Brunhilda
▼Brunhilda is a Dragon Lane Marksman in Arena of Valor whose ultimate turns her into a stationary cannon that rains firepower on enemies. Each basic attack that hits grants Brunhilda critical chance and physical attack through her passive, Rapid Fire, stacking up to five times.
Overdrive grants movement speed that decays over time and doubles its bonus physical attack while active, and it also cancels siege mode when she needs to retreat. Homing Mine reveals the area around it, slows and reduces the armor of enemy heroes who touch it, and gives her a shield. When Siege Cannon is active, she gains armor and magic defense but cannot move, repeatedly bombarding the center of the target area.
High damage and manageable difficulty make Brunhilda easy to learn, but low health and limited crowd control mean choosing a safe spot to set up the cannon is crucial. The Brunhilda guide below walks through the item build, Arcana, Enchantments, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and how to play through each phase of the match.

How to Play Brunhilda
How to Use Brunhilda's Skills Effectively
- Shoot minions first to stack 4 or 5 passive charges, then switch to attacking the enemy hero with basic attacks or Skill 3
Siege Cannon
, which is much stronger without passive charges.
- Since this skill’s passive increases physical attack, and the higher your physical attack, the stronger
Brunhilda
‘s basic attacks or skills become, max this skill out first.
- Take advantage of its speed boost to chase or escape, or combine it with the slow from Skill 2
Homing Mine
to kite your opponent. - You can use this skill to cancel the Siege Mode of Skill 3
Siege Cannon
.
- Since you have to stand still while using this skill, the most important thing is choosing a good position so the enemy can’t easily attack you.
- Take advantage of this skill’s long range and massive damage to secure kills, siege turrets, and contest objectives.
- You can use
Flicker
to reposition your Siege Mode.
- If you want to cancel Siege Mode, press Skill 3 again or use Skill 1
Overdrive
.
How to Combo Brunhilda
Basic Combo
-
-
2
-
3
-
-
-
1
Shoot minions first so the passive
Rapid Fire
reaches 4–5 stacks, since every basic attack that hits grants crit chance and physical attack, up to 5 stacks. Next fire Skill 2
Homing Mine
toward the target: an enemy hero touching the mine is slowed and loses armor, while you gain a damage-immune shield. From a safe spot, enter Skill 3
Siege Cannon
and keep basic attacking carries or squishy heroes in the center of the impact area to land all 7 shots. When the shots are spent or someone dives you, use Skill 1
Overdrive
to cancel Siege Mode and gain movement speed to reposition; while it is active its physical attack bonus doubles, so your next basic attacks still hit hard. In lane, simply slow with Skill 2, speed up with Skill 1 and kite with basic attacks.
How to Play Brunhilda in the Early Game
In the early game,
Brunhilda
is fairly weak compared to other marksmen, so focus on farming minions to earn gold for your build.
Always hold a backward position and use Skill 2
Homing Mine
to place traps in river bushes to control vision and avoid getting ganked.
The goal in this phase is to last-hit minions, stay safe, and reach level 4 as fast as possible.
How to Play Brunhilda in the Mid Game
After building a few items and unlocking Skill 3
Siege Cannon
,
Brunhilda
can start impacting the match with her fairly big damage.
This hero’s main priority in the mid game is still earning gold for your build, but besides farming, also join a few small skirmishes and coordinate with allies to secure major objectives.
Always stay positioned behind your allies and hold a good spot to unload your skills. If you see a fight isn’t winnable, retreat early and keep farming, since this isn’t
Brunhilda
‘s strongest phase yet.
How to Play Brunhilda in the Late Game
By the late game,
Brunhilda
is one of the highest-damage marksmen, but her mobility is very poor, making her the enemy team’s top priority target.
So stick with your allies in this phase to be ready for full team fights, and always keep an eye on highly mobile enemy heroes, choosing a position where they can’t easily reach you.
Once you’ve found a good position, use your skills depending on the situation, but the best approach is usually to use Skill 3
Siege Cannon
to set up Siege Mode and target the enemy’s core damage dealer or squishiest hero first to kill or at least critically wound them, then continue basic attacking to finish them off.
