Brody – Counters
Weak against (counters)
Brody is countered by heroes with CC immunity and multiple movement abilities, because they can quickly close in on Brody, giving him no chance to stack the Abyss Mark. Such as Martis and Wanwan.
Strong against
Brody is strong against heroes with poor survivability in the early game and heroes without dash, because he can easily lock on them and attack beyond their reach. Like Aamon and Yin.
Best partners
Brody works best with heroes who can perform lock-on attacks or heroes with area CC abilities, as they can give Brody more room to deal damage and farm better. Such as Hylos and Minsitthar.

Brody – Skills
Abyss Corrosion
With his Basic Attacks resonated with the Abyss Power within his body, Brody is able to move while winding up his Basic Attacks (which will be interrupted when casting skills), at the cost of having longer Basic Attack Animation and lower Attack Speed Bonus. Each Basic Attack deals (+140% Total Physical Attack) (+45*Hero Level) Physical Damage (of which the damage scaling with level cannot be critical), increases Movement Speed by 30% (which will decay rapidly in 1.2s), and applies 1 stack of Abyss Mark on the enemy, capped at 4 stacks.
Each stack of Abyss Mark increases Brody's damage against the target by 5% and his Movement Speed by 5%.
Abyss Impact
CD: 4 Mana Cost: 50
Brody launches a shockwave in the target direction, dealing 200 (+170% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and slowing enemies by 30% for 1.2s while applying one stack of Abyss Mark.
For each enemy hit by the shockwave, they take an extra 5% slow and one extra Abyss Mark stack (capped at 45% slow and 4 stacks).
Corrosive Strike
CD: 8 Mana Cost: 90
Brody dashes to an enemy, dealing 200 (+70% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target, stunning the target for 0.8s, and applying 1 stack of Abyss Mark on the target.
Upon hitting the target, he is able to move one more time in the movement direction, gaining 45% Movement Speed that will decay rapidly in 1.2s.
Torn-Apart Memory
CD: 32 Mana Cost: 120
Brody locks onto all enemies within 8 unit(s), dealing 216 (+165% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to them.
For each target with Abyss Mark stacks, all stacks are consumed, dealing additional Physical Damage equal to 94 (+72% Extra Physical Attack) (+ 4% of the target's lost HP) per stack.
Combo
LANING COMBOS
Brody can regularly use his 1st Skill and Basic Attacks to clear lanes and poke the enemy heroes. Once enemy heroes are low on HP, Brody can use his 2nd Skill to close in and stun them, then cast his Ultimate to try to finish them off.
TEAMFIGHT COMBOS
Brody should prioritize using his 1st Skill and Basic Attack, to apply Abyss Marks on enemy heroes outside of the battle area. He can then use his Ultimate and Basic Attack to deal heavy damage and his 2nd Skill and Basic Attack to chase down enemies on the run.
