They are moving faster than me with the Quick trait, and launching that special attack every couple of hits. Were they always like that?

yea.

They have a very small cooldown, and have always been slightly faster than you.

idk why they dont use their smash attack more often usually, but they can do it every 3-4 combat turns.

Run from them, and use bushes/tables and fire

30, not 3

The only buff they got recently was to their armor.

I just got crushed by these guys, two games in a row. They are very fast, and doing that throw attack every 3 attacks.

Does play Bad Day tweak them?

I tend to run though a building and start it on fire and try and get them stuck inside… Yes it creates a ‘ton’ of noise… but whatever, early on brutes are death anyways.

gotta use bushes and fire. Let them knock you away from hordes and them. Especially in the dark
