Bane is a better version of Rufio, he tanks hits better than Rufio and can really bring the pain. If you don’t want to pay the three energy cost of deploying Jacques to carry yourself to victory a safe bet would also be Bane he can demolish armies with very little support.

Ruthless (Specialty)
As king of the proud berserkers, Bane relies on his own might to achieve victory, spurning the value of teamwork. When he takes the battlefield, he can lead only 1 troop into combat.

Provoke
Bane provokes enemy units in the specified range, forcing the enemies to attack him, while increasing his resistance to physical damage by X% for X seconds.
This can be very useful but also can be a double edged sword pointed against you, be careful when using this ability.

Ferocious Charge (costs 1 energy)
Bane charges to the target location, dealing up to X damage to enemies hit along the way.
Strong damage, dunno if it is worth the energy cost though.

Recruit Berserkers
In Human cities, Bane can train Berserker units in the Barracks.
This is one of the coolest skills in the game, sadly it doesn’t allow you to train the gold version of Berserkers which would be SUPER awesome.

Berserker Specialist
Bane is the king of berserkers. Whenever he is is on the battlefield, all allied berserker troops have damage and max HP increased by X%.
Same old standard aura, does a lot on these bad boys, they hit hard.

Spinning Axe
When Bane is attacked, there is a 25% chance of him casting Spinning Chop, dealing X points of damage to nearby enemies.
This skill is amazing when paired with provoke you can melt armies if you are positioned correctly.

Barbaric Blessing
Bane is blessed by the god of chaos, increasing his resistance to physical damage by X% and increasing his Stamina by X
This skill is what makes Bane really good, giving him the ability to survive, if you have a Tiadrin as well using divine light on Bane is really funny to just watch this guy solo armies.

Building Bane
Max Spinning Axe, get a point in provoke and Barbaric Blessing and watch armies kill themselves.

Equipping Bane
Put as much Stamina and Might as you can on him, use 3/6 Rufio set on him and items like Exquisite armor and you will be laughing.
