SEASON 41 PROFILE

The Protector

Bruno

MarksmanGold Lane

Mecha Legs stacks critical chance and Bruno can retrieve Volley Shot's Powerball to maintain his damage. Every recovered ball matters; fighting where he cannot collect it removes a large part of his kit's advantage.

    Flying Tackle gives Bruno a short dash and briefly knocks the target airborne. Keep it ready whenever the enemy assassin is missing.

  3. 03LATE GAME

    In late fights, Worldie can bounce through grouped enemies, but Bruno should keep firing behind his tank instead of stepping forward to chase the bounce.

Abilities at a glance

Hover or use the keyboard on any ability to read exactly what it does in game.Tap any ability to open its in-game explanation. Tap elsewhere to close it.

  1. HOW IT WORKS

    Bruno gains 2.5% extra Crit Chance each time he deals damage with his skills (up to 8 stacks). Bruno has higher Physical Attack but only gains 80% extra Attack Speed from all sources.

  2. HOW IT WORKS

    Bruno kicks a Powerball with his next Basic Attack, dealing 100–225 Physical Damage to the target, slowing them by 30%, and gaining 30% Movement Speed for 0.5 seconds. The Powerball then bounces back toward Bruno and lands on the ground. Bruno or an allied hero can retrieve it to prepare another Powerball attack and reduce Flying Tackle's cooldown by 1 second.

  3. HOW IT WORKS

    Bruno makes a slide tackle in the target direction, dealing 140–265 Physical Damage to enemies in his path and stunning them for 0.5 seconds. If the Powerball is bouncing back, Bruno also draws the Powerball toward him.

  4. HOW IT WORKS

    Bruno kicks his Energy Ball at the target enemy hero, dealing 250–450 Physical Damage and knocking them back. The Energy Ball then bounces between nearby enemies up to 10 times, each time dealing 150–270 Physical Damage. Each hit also reduces the enemy's Physical Defense by 4%–8% for 8 seconds, up to 3 stacks.

OUR READING

Bruno is a niche choice here. The result is worth watching, but a low pick rate means it should not be read in isolation.

    • ADJUSTMENTThrough the previous patches, the strength of most Marksmen in the early game has already been well-adjusted. However, because of their nerfed mid and late game capabilities, their performance has still been undesirable, including Bruno. Thus, we reverted the change we made to him.
