Frank

Winds up a hammer strike that sends a damaging shockwave. Frank attacks faster as his health falls, but intentionally taking damage can still leave him unable to survive the next exchange. Use the faster attack window without ignoring incoming threats.

Sends a powerful shockwave that stuns enemies and destroys cover. A well-placed hit can set up follow-up attacks, while the terrain change may also expose the space Frank needs afterward.

Fires a damaging soundwave and briefly protects Frank from crowd control. Time it around an important attack rather than treating that protection as damage immunity.

Spends ammunition on an aimed long-range attack that pulls enemies toward Frank. Have a follow-up ready for the target you bring closer.

Temporarily increases Frank's damage after he defeats an enemy Brawler. Look for a useful follow-up while the bonus lasts without forcing a losing chase.

Increases Frank's maximum health. The extra durability helps him survive pressure but does not prevent enemies from controlling his approach.

Makes the Super strike in a full circle around Frank. It threatens opponents on several sides, but they still need to be within the affected area when the strike lands.

Taking damage contributes to Super charge. The extra charge does not make absorbing unnecessary attacks a safe plan.

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.
