New Champion: Brienne of Tarth

Greetings House Leaders,

In a land of shattered oaths, Brienne of Tarth stands as an unbreakable shield. Her peerless skill and unblemished honor prove she has always been a true knight. Read on to learn more about this new Legendary Champion, and play now to test out this Champion’s might!

New Champion

Brienne of Tarth (True Knight)

Rarity: Legendary

Faction: Stark

Class: Fighter

Gem Color: Gold

Brienne of Tarth expands the Stark roster with high physical damage and deep ICE synergy. Capable of afflicting multiple foes with ICE, Brienne creates True Knight Gems to lower enemy defenses and unleashes relentless extra strikes against enemies made BRITTLE.

Skill

Two Quick Deaths - Brienne strikes her target and adjacent enemies for Physical Damage. Each hit enemy becomes afflicted with ICE.

Trait

Step Aside Or I’ll Step Over You - When Brienne or a team member afflicts an enemy with ICE during a turn, Brienne gains increased Critical Strike Chance and spawns True Knight Gems on the board. If that enemy is BRITTLE, she delivers an additional strike for Physical Damage.

Leader

Stand your ground! - Whenever a True Knight Gem or Ally Gem is destroyed, all team members gain a Defense Buff, with Sansa Stark and Arya Stark receiving bonus Stamina. Whenever an enemy becomes BRITTLE, all team members gain an indefinite ATK buff.

Champion Strategy

Brienne of Tarth is a high DPS engine designed to punish control-oriented and frozen enemy compositions. Her ability to inflict ICE across multiple targets builds momentum by spawning True Knight Gems, special gems that reduce the defense of ICE-afflicted foes when destroyed. By leveraging BRITTLE synergies, she continually grants her team stacking ATK buffs, turning defensive resilience into overwhelming offensive power.

Synergies

Three Champions:

Sansa Stark – Benefits directly from Brienne’s leadership, gaining bonus Stamina whenever True Knight Gems or Ally Gems are matched to keep her abilities ready.

Arya Stark – Capitalizes on Brienne’s Stamina generation and the team-wide indefinite ATK buffs triggered whenever enemies are made BRITTLE.

Jon Snow – Provides consistent ICE application to ensure Brienne’s passive activates reliably every turn, unleashing bonus strikes against BRITTLE enemies.

Best Team

Catelyn Stark (Lady of Winterfell)

Brienne of Tarth

Ned Stark (Warden Of The North)

Jon Snow (King in the North)

Sansa Stark

Best Battle Modes

PvP

Alliance Wars

Brienne has many viable team compositions. As a fighter and defensive leader, she excels at afflicting enemies with ICE, spawning True Knight Gems, and punishing BRITTLE foes, all while bolstering her team’s defenses.

When paired with Sansa and Arya, they form a powerful Stark core that can be rounded out with a variety of damage dealers.

Experiment and uphold the honor of a true knight!
