Fell Xenologue

In the alternative version of Elyos, the Bracelet of the Brash General was held by Firene. Like the other nations of Elyos, when Alear died and fearing a power struggle amongst the nations, Firene refused to surrender the Bracelet to Nel and Nil willingly. After succeeding in summoning another Alear from another world, their first destination was Firene who was already set to invade Brodia using the Bracelet's power. A quick conflict in Firene Castle ends with King Alfred and Céline's defeat. The Bracelet is surrendered to Nel who promptly puts Emblem Hector's spirit into slumber.

Overall

The Bracelet of the Brash General is a purely defense oriented ring, mainly focused on empowering the wielder during the Enemy Phase. The very first set of skills the Bracelet imparts emphasizes this with Quick Riposte allowing a guaranteed Follow-Up Attack so long as the wielder is above a certain HP threshold depending on the skill's level and has a weapon that allows Follow-Ups. This helps defensive oriented classes like the General or Great Knight classes who are seldom going to have any Speed growths to allow follow-up attacks without weapons in consideration. Adaptability gives the wielder either a flat Defense or Resistance boost depending on the damage type taken by the unit in combat. Strength Defense+ gives the wielder a flat Strength/Defense boost, which gets stronger as the user levels up their Bond. Heavy Attack allows the wielder to convert the difference between their weapon's Weight and their Build stat and convert it into additional flat damage so long as the weapon deals Physical Damage. This naturally works well with Axes, the primary weapon of the Ring itself, which tend to have tremendous Weight. Axe Guard reduces damage received from foe's wielding Axes.

When Engaged, the wielder gains 30% Def/Res. If the wielder is a Dragon Unit, they gain 50% Dodge as well. If they are an Armor Unit, they gain 50% Defense instead of 30% while Flying Units gain 50% Resistance. Horseback Units gain immunity to Freeze. Their Engage Attack, Storm's Eye is a purely utility skill as it prevents the foe from performing Follow-Up attacks and guarantee the user gains a follow-up attack. The user is also immune to Break. Dragon units prevent the first Critical Hit they would receive, Backup Units gain +20 to their Critical Hit chance, and Covert units gain +20 Dodge. If the user is adjacent to an ally wielding the Ring of the Lady of the Plains, the user attacks before their foe does. These can only work if the user is wielding an Axe or Sword only. Piercing Glare sacrifices 20% of the user's HP and prevents enemies from moving into spaces that are 4 tiles in the diagonal cardinal directions from the user, funneling enemies into the user.

Wolf Beil is effective against Cavalry and Armored Units. Runesword deals magical damage and can attack up to two range while also healing up to 50% the damage dealt. Armads grants an additional Def+5 damage and deals effective damage to Dragon units.

The bracelet is a perfect match for defensive oriented units like Louis, Jade, and Madeline, becoming extremely hardy tank units. Units that naturally have low Speed growths in general can be turned into strong defensive tanks as well. This is less true on maddening difficulty, however, as the AI will ignore units it cannot harm in favour of chasing other units. Alfred is a good fit in his native Avenir class, with its Golden Lotus potentially halving physical damage.
