How it fights

The brute is the band’s bruiser: broad (a body radius of 0.4 tiles, the widest in the Bell Crypts), slow at 1.1 tiles a second, with 80 base HP and a 9-point base bite, the heaviest of the Bell Crypts. It joins the waves on floor 3 and is never more than a small share of a wave, but it pays: a kill drops an item 12% of the time before the floor’s loot multiplier, 3× a husk’s rate, with magic and rare odds ×1.5.

Base HP: 80
Base bite: 9
Bites at most every: 1.17 s
Base speed: 1.1 tiles/s
Body radius: 0.4 tiles
XP: 6 (elite 30)
Coin chance: 70%
Item drop chance: 12% × the floor’s loot

Floor by floor

The same brute gets tougher each floor: the floor multiplies its HP, bite and speed. An elite brute has 3× the HP, gives 5× the XP and always drops at least a magic item plus 5 coins. “Share of waves” is the part of the floor’s wave monsters that roll as a brute.
