Build Strategy

Unarmed Fist Fury

The Brawler gets +50% attack speed with Unarmed weapons. The Fist is the best choice. Due to the high attack speed bonus and the Fist's knockback, you become a rapid-hitting tank. You have reduced range, so you must get close.

Flaming Brass Knuckles are technically strictly better if you find them, but Fists are cheaper and sufficient.

Expert Tips

1

Attack speed effectively increases swing speed too.

2

Consumeables are better than lifesteal for healing here.

3

Don't worry about negative range; you fight close.
