Fighting Style
Due to his immense strength, Bruno Quaker carries around powerful, heavy hammer, which results in stronger attacks that take longer to perform. His main moves involving simple strikes to opposing officers and bosses, although he often uses attacks that pound the ground and knock down all of his surrounding enemies.

Also his Musou Attacks are the strongest in the game if used right on a juggled foe, being able to take out much of a general/bosses's health if most of the hits connect on them properly.

However, a notable weakness of his happens to be both his slow running speed, and his intellect rating is extremely low. Some of his highly costly Skill Attack like Maelstrom Howl might have insufficiently MP cost required to perform Skill Attacks. To counter this low Intellect rating. The player must increase the MP rate by equipping Accessories with increases MP and INT effect or any Accessories can cut the MP cost of the Skill Attack by half.

Another downside of Bruno has a low combo rate; some of his moves are purely damage, but it may difficult to maintain combo chains with Charge moves and Skill Attacks. The only exception is his Direction Musou Attack has a multiple hits and blow the enemies away when his direction musou is over, breaks the combo after 3 seconds. To master of this low combo rate and pure damaging character, the player can spam C3-4 move or C5 move, follow up a Stomp Clap or Demolition Smash respectively before pulling off the Direction Musou Attack for combo finish.
