Hero Build Overview/Explanation
(This unit's B skill would be S/R far trace, but the unit creation for this character doesn't have that yet as an option)
Bruno's bunny alt is a powerful staff unit that allows us to use the trace skill to do some hit and run, and debuff the unit we attack by restarting their special cooldown thanks to the witchy wand (dazzling would be the best refine for that weapon, since we don't need him to do damage that way, our Savage Blow 6 would allow for a post-combat AoE damage, and 14 damage is no joke)
Bruno is an odd unit, as a staff unit, you would expect him to be a unit with high res and really low def, but this unit goes the other way, being able to stand some powerful physical attacks from bow and dagger units. To take advantage of his good def and patch his abysmal res, Fort Def/Res makes for a good A skill (after all, our unit doesn't care for the Atk stat all that much).
Staff cavalry in general are great for team support, improving over staff infantry thanks to their high mobility. This allows them to stay out of danger and bolt into action when they are needed (that's part of the reason far trace is such a good skill for them). So, Bruno either hits or supports, and then, he goes back to safety (with other staffs such as tannenbaton, he would need to stay closer to his team, but witchy wand allows more freedom of movement, which makes that cavalry staff can take advantage of their high mobility and trace skill).
For his special and support, we are gonna leave his base kit. Miracle goes great for any staff unit, as they are quite a good support for the rest of the team, and losing them soon is a tragedy. Also, martyr works great with the miracle special, as it allows them to recover a lot of health from another unit, and at the same time recover half of their health lost, which in a post-miracle scenario, it's half of their health, like some pseudo live to serve (martyr can be used without having low health, though, as the 50% attack is good, but since the more usual sittuation would be a damaged bruno, we can have a -atk bruno in case we don't get a -spd Bruno).
Probably bruno's most problematic trait is how difficult it is to merge him, so, this unit is not a F2P friendly, but still, I tried to keep it low investment for the most part (being far trace and witchy wand the most expensive parts to get). In case of not having the trace skill, some support skills to retreat can be a substitute, though they can put in danger the unit that assists him, and if you don't have witchy wand, tannenbaton (from winter sephiran, though it's also difficult to get) or pain (for more damage to the units) can be substitutes while getting the witchy wand
