Overview
Brutes live to fight, and as a Brute you revel in hand-to-hand combat. With strong offensive power sets to inflict pain and impressive defenses to take it, you're the best there is in a straight fight. Protracted battles only makes you mad, and the madder you get, the more damaging your attacks become. You do lack ranged attacks, which could leave you vulnerable to hit and run tactics without some allies to cover you.
The Brute's power sets are:
Primary: Melee
Secondary: Defense

Power Sets
Primary Power Sets
- A Brute's primary power sets are designed specifically for melee. They are:
* Kinetic Melee requires VIP status, purchase on the Paragon Market, or purchase of Going Rogue.
* Staff Fighting requires purchase on the Paragon Market.
* Street Justice requires purchase on the Paragon Market.
* Titan Weapons requires purchase on the Paragon Market.
Secondary Power Sets
- A Brute's secondary power sets are designed for defense. They are:
* Bio Armor requires purchase on the Paragon Market.
Ancillary Power Pools
Patron Power Pools
* Patron Power Pools require villain alignment to obtain.
Inherent Power
- Fury
- Brute attacks, and many of their toggle auras, taunt the enemies they affect in PvE. This is similar to the Gauntlet inherent that Tankers possess, only without an area of effect. It is sometimes referred to as PokeVoke by the community.
Historical

This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes Freedom. It is provided for historical purposes. |
- Brutes were added to the game in Issue 6, originally a City of Villains archetype. Their original primary powersets were Dark Melee, Energy Melee, Fiery Melee, Stone Melee, and Super Strength. Their original secondary powersets were Dark Armor, Energy Aura, Fiery Aura, Invulnerability, and Stone Armor.
