Kite and Disengage
Escape ganks or all-ins by using mobility skill immediately followed by Flicker for maximum distance
Gameplan
Early Game
Levels 1–6- →Farm safely in lane, avoid unnecessary trades against support + carry pressure
- →Position behind minion wave to minimize poke damage while securing CS
Mid Game
Post Broken Spear- →Group for objectives and skirmishes, maintain spacing from enemy frontline
- →Pressure sidelanes when teamfight windows aren't available to build lead
Late Game
Teamfight phase- →Position in backline protected by team, focus highest priority target in range
- →Use mobility to kite melee threats and maintain maximum attack uptime
Matchups
Brunhilda gets countered by
QuillenStealth + burst mobility allows penetration of backline before Brunhilda can react
ZillHigh mobility and invulnerability frames make him unreliable to kite, can all-in reliably
Brunhilda synergizes with
GrakkHook initiation allows Brunhilda to kite and output damage safely behind engaged enemies
LaurielHeavy CC support enables extended kiting windows and protects backline from divers
Pro Tips
- →Learn auto-attack cancel timing to extend kiting windows and avoid unnecessary ability cooldown waste
- →Communicate positioning with support to ensure dual-threat coverage and prevent isolation ganks
- →Bank ability cooldowns during fights—use them reactively for disengage rather than proactively
Brunhilda is a solid A-tier marksman pick for coordinated Diamond+ play where proper spacing and team support are guaranteed. She excels in scaling-focused compositions but requires team synergy to overcome early fragility. Strong pick into immobile comps that struggle to reach backline.
