Who is Bruno?
The weather wizard stuns with thunder and lets hail rain down on his foes.
Bruno Cloudburst has a beard like a thundercloud and a temper like a summer afternoon: mostly sunny, then suddenly thunder and lightning. He makes the weather for three valleys and takes requests, just not on laundry day. His hat is always a little damp. Whoever annoys him ends up in the rain, quite literally.
Before the first move, Bruno hides the Storm trap on the board. If your opponent moves onto the square, lightning strikes: the piece is paralyzed for 3 moves.
Spells
Bruno's three spells
Every move earns 1 mana, every captured piece adds its value on top. Instead of moving, you cast a spell. After that it needs a few moves before it is ready again.
- Thunderclap
Paralyzes an enemy piece (not the king) for 2 moves.
- Hailstorm
Destroys an enemy pawn.
- Ball lightning
Master spell: Destroys an enemy rook, bishop, knight or pawn.
Tactics
How to win with Bruno
Stun first, then attack
Use Thunderclap to freeze the piece that would stop your attack. Two moves are often enough to break through.
Open lines with hail
A destroyed pawn opens paths for rooks and bishops or tears a gap in front of the enemy king.
Save mana for Ball lightning
Captured pieces give extra mana. Trade early and you reach 25 mana sooner, then take a rook off the board.
Put the trap where your opponent wants to go
Hide the Storm trap on a central square that enemy knights and bishops like to visit.
Quips

Today’s forecast: cloudy, with a chance of checkmate.

when the trap snapsI’m soaked to the bone. Congratulations!

The rival is Baron Basil Grimgaze of the Shadow Guild. When these two meet, it's not just pieces that fly, but quips too.
