Re: The Things That I've Learned Facing Bricks
Fighting a brick is an exercise in both patience and perseverance. Three things to consider:
1. You have to know you're not going to take most bricks out in one shot. Even if you're using your most powerful attack, you're going to have to hit the brick a few times before they fall.
2. On the other hand, you are up against the clock. Phase 12, specifically. Because if you don't knock that brick out by the end of Phase 12, you can pretty well rest assured you won't take them out on 2, 3, or 4 of the next Turn.
3. But there is an advantage to long fights, too: Bricks tend to be huge END-burners. Even with high REC scores, most bricks will use from twice to four times as much END in a Turn as they get back Post-12. So if you're patient, you may actually get the brick into a position where all they can do is either sit there and take the damage, or burn STUN for END.
One other thing I've learned facing bricks: Mr. Miyagi was right. "Best defense, no be there."
