Bjarni

Bjarni lives in a Viking ship’s hold. He spends most of the time tormenting the prisoners kept there, but sometimes he comes out of the hold to blast some Saxons, just for fun.

Overview
Bjarni is a tank whose main gimmicks include burn, blind, stun and life steal. His stats are pretty good but his trait isn't the best and his cooldowns are nasty high.

Pros:

 * Well-rounded stats
 * 50 damage move with life steal
 * Nice damage output

Cons:

 * Bad trait
 * High cooldowns and stamina costs
 * No AoE moves

Recommended Moveset

 * Crimsom Storm (55 Thunder dmg + Stun, 34s, 3cd)
 * Exhausting Fire (50 Fire dmg + Life Steal, 36s, 4cd)
 * Viking Charge / Burning Viking Axe (Charge for 55 Fire dmg + Burn, 35s, 3cd) / (Axe for 40 Fire dmg + Burn, 27s, 0cd)
 * Dark Red Storm / Sapping Fire (Storm for 40 Thunder dmg + Blind, 27s, 0cd) / (Fire for 30 Fire dmg + Life Steal, 26s, 0cd)

Crimson Storm is your immobilization move. Exhausting Fire deals a lot of damage and comes with life steal, but for a very high cooldown, so use it wisely. Viking Charge deals more damage than Burning Viking Axe, but with a higher cooldown (both moves burn an enemy). Dark Red Storm blinds an enemy, and Sapping Fire can heal Bjarni every once in a while for no cooldown.

Recommended Runes: 3 Life; 2 Life, 1 Strength

Recommended Relics: 2 Heavy Duty Armours

Counters

 * Water or Earth attackers like Armole can wipe off Bjarni.
 * Cybele can prevent Bjarni from healing himself because of her negate healing. She can also make her team immune to four tortures, one of them being burn, so Bjarni needs to deal raw damage. And finally, she can make her team immune to stun, so Bjarni has no chance of immobilizing. Bjarni may deal heavy damage to Cybele, but she can hold a Healing Essence so Bjarni has a harder time taking her out if he doesn't OTK her.
