Well now. Let’s take a look at this big drunken boy. A 1” melee zone and some fairly normal Brewer stats, he has that classic DEF 3+/ARM 1 defensive profile we’re used to seeing from them. TAC 7 is a new one, though, that makes him the highest TAC model in Brewers, and his playbook is pretty fierce! However, looking at his statline, 2/4 INF? ON A CAPTAIN? HAVE WE LOST OUR TINY MINDS? Nae worries, we’ll get to that bit in a minute, but yes, he only brings 2 Influence to your team, the lowest of any captain in Guild Ball. Sort of.

Looking at his playbook, it’s the pretty standard Brewer stuff. Momentous KDs and Pushes low down, switching up to momentous damage on the top end. He also has a pretty spectacular momentous KD/double push on column 5. I mean hot damn, what a result. Combo push/KD results are relatively rare, even in Brewers, and that’s a doozy.

Moving onto his character plays, he has three! The first is his damage buff, Iron Fist. Now where he differs from other Brewer captains is that his damage buff only affects him, and can’t help his team out like Esters Tooled Up or Tapper’s Commanding Aura. So while he absolutely can get stuck in, this is the only thing on his card that actually buffs himself solely. Everything else is much more of a team support ability (as you’d expect from Brewers).

Tough Skin is a character play Brewers have seen before, on Hooper. Corker allows them to double up on it to make his team extra tough, or to just throw it out himself to protect a key model. His next character play is unique to him, Whisky Chaser allows a target friendly model to add a KD result to their next attack, and it’s not once per turn! Have fun hitting a tonne of models and throwing them all to the floor! This is super useful on really any Brewer model, imagine Friday with effectively a Tackle/KD on column 1, or even Scum with a 2 DMG/KD on column 2!

Finally, Corker has 24 HP. That’s a good number, but as we’ve seen, that health can drop fairly quickly if you get knocked down and isolated from your team!
