Combating an Ultra Brute
As to be expected, the veteran Brute Ultras are the most experienced of the three regular ranks, meaning that they are smarter, tougher and deadlier than their subordinates. When facing an Ultra in battle, you should first pay attention to the weapon it wields, then make your next move based on this. For example, if he has a Mauler, keep a distance between you and him, as his weapon will unable to reach you. It would be wise to eliminate this threat first unless a higher ranking Brute is on the field.
