Dark Alliance Bruenor Battlehammer Best Builds
Solo: Increased damage
Although Bruenor is primarily a tank character designed to taunt enemies, you can build him as a powerful solo character with high damage potential.
You need to focus on his physical attributes first, so put your points into the following stats:
- Strength
- Intelligence
- Constitution
His armor should greatly increase his physical and elemental damage, as well as armor penetration. The two best sets for this purpose are:

For even greater damage, feel free to invest your feat points into an entire Hammer tree:
- dungeon burrower

- Tourbillon
- Clangeddin's Anvil
Co-Op: Physical Tank
Taunting and tanking are Bruenor's two primary roles in the game, which is why he's a perfect companion for your party in that regard.
Keeping him alive for as long as possible is the main point of the strategy, so put your points into these stats:
- Constitution
- Wisdom
- Dexterity
You can reduce the damage of all taunted enemies and reflect physical and elemental damage using the two armor sets:
- Goblin Bane Set
- Battlerager Set
The Froge and Anvil perk trees will both play an important role in keeping your tank alive:
- Endurance
- Live spirit
- Shield Master
- Défenseur
- Heavy Armor Master

The top two abilities that will work best with this tanky build are:
Dark Alliance Cattie-brie Best Builds
Solo: Critical Damage
Cattie-brie is an archer who can strike her enemies as hard as Bruenor, but from a distance with a bow and arrow.
This build focuses on his ability to deal high physical damage and critical hits. In order to make its accuracy and damage high, go for these stats first:
- Intelligence
- Dexterity
- Strength
In order to increase its critical hit chance and increase its physical damage bonus, it is advisable to use the following armor:
- Tundra Explorer Set
- Goblin Reaper Set
In this case, the Archer build and its skill tree have all the elements to take Cattie-Brie's damage to truly remarkable levels:
- Sniper
- Quickly draw
- Precision shooting
- piercing arrow
The two best abilities that will go well with this critical damage build are:
- Volley of the Heart Seeker
- Captive Strike
Cooperative: assistance to healers
In the co-op session, Cattie-Brie can act as a healer due to her abilities that revive and heal allies.
Since she will focus on keeping other players alive, she herself must stay awake for a long time. This means you need to focus on her:
- Strength
- Constitution
- Wisdom
To make his very useful abilities last longer and consume less usable items, opt for these two armor sets:
- Battlehammer princess set
- Alustriel Gift Box
Keeping the same tactics, use the Cunning and Longstrider exploit trees for extra survivability:
- Healer
- Live spirit
- Mobile
- Difficult
The two best abilities that are simply required for this build are:
- spirit of healing
- Resurrection
Dark Alliance Wulfgar Best Builds
Solo: Physical damage
Wulfgar is your typical DPS character who can only do one thing right and that is smash heads with his big hammer.
Since he doesn't have the protection of Bruenor or the mobility of Drizzt and Cattie-Brie, you need to make him both strong and resilient using these stats:
- Strength
- Intelligence
- Constitution
You can also increase his combo damage and physical damage to elites using special armor, such as:
- on a champ
- Corsair's Plume Set
His hammer can be improved thanks to nice exploits that can be found in the wolf tree:
- Savage Strike
- Grand Master of Arms
- Magazine
- Tempus Fury
The two best abilities that can be used well in this version are:
Co-Op: Char air
Wulfgar isn't Bruenor, but he can still take damage in a well-built tanky build with boosted stats such as:
- Constitution
- Wisdom
- Dexterity
You can reduce some of the physical damage dealt to him and increase his resistances using the following armor:
- Abyssal Captive Set
- Blacksmith's Apprentice Set
Wulfgar can become a real threat to enemies with elemental damage using feats such as:
- Blessings of Tempu
- Resilient
- Endurance
- Live spirit
The two best abilities needed for this build are:
