Brutes: stats, binding cost and counters
Short answer
Brutes are tough and slow, and the only zombies that break walls. They unlock at Binding Pit level 3.
What it does
A Brute takes a whole army slot. It has the most health and bite of any strain, and it shrugs off part of every tower hit. It is the only zombie that can break walls, so it is the only one that can get into a side sealed with walls.
Its weakness is that it is slow and that garrisons hold it. A kill zone, a garrison choke under overlapping towers, stops Brutes in the fire and kills them there.
