Phantom Blade Zero · Shield Brute · Monsters

Brutes clutching broad shields. With strength far beyond what their frames suggest, they slam those shields into enemies and charge recklessly forward. Powerful weapons such as great axes can quickly break their shields. Transcension took their faces and their sanity. Only two commands remain etched into their minds: stop everything before them, and protect the village behind. But there is no village left behind them now.

Stats and details

Combat strategy

Perfect-block the blue-flash strike just before impact. Once the combo starts, watch for the follow-up hits. Counter when the last strike misses. Probe with a short attack in melee. The enemy can counter, so stop the string if the opener misses. Stop your string when the enemy backsteps. Close the gap before attacking again.
