How to Play Brunhilda

How to Combo and Use Brunhilda's Skills Effectively

Passive Rapid Fire :

  • 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.

Skill 1 Overdrive :

  • Since this skill’s passive increases physical attack, and the higher your physical attack, the stronger ‘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 .

Skill 2 Homing Mine :

  • Use this skill to clear minions fast and poke enemy heroes.
  • Place Skill 2 in river bushes for vision to avoid getting ganked, or near major objectives and areas the enemy frequently passes through to control the map.
  • Use this skill’s slow and armor shred to burst the enemy down faster.

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 .

Since Brunhilda ‘s kit doesn’t chain together much, there’s no specific combo — just understand the above and use basic attacks combined with your skills sensibly for each situation to unlock this hero’s full power.

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.
