Who Should the First Female Hero Bruiser Be???

Muirna

In light of the Girl Power event and upcoming International Women's Day, a friend in my guild raised the point that there are no female hero bruisers in the game.

Who would you want as the first female hero bruiser in the game and why?

My Puerto Rican grandmother can give quite a bruising, I nominate her 

I would say the best suggestion I have seen is an Alt version of Rosita. An Alt version of "Savior" Michonne was also a decent recommendation. Unfortunately, I just can't think of too many instances where a female character used a bruiser type weapon in the show. Then again Eugene is a bruiser and one of the best heroes in the game but he is a total wimp in the show, so I guess anyone can be a bruiser?

Only if we introduce Chancletas as a bruiser weapon.  Special functionality is shame

I vote Judith

Slightly off topic but also on topic was that time Maggie used the street sign as a weapon. Since that is an actual weapon in game for warriors she could be made into a warrior. I guess my point is that most characters slightly resemble their type in the show but it seems like at one point or another everyone has used every type of weapon. I mean Beth even used an assault rifle at one point.

If I had to pick someone as a bruiser it would be Dianne.

Oh I just thought of Jadis, the junkyard lady. It will make sense that she would pick up a piece of pipe that's just lying around and start bashing in heads.

Edit:

She's probably also going to have an important role in the upcoming Rick Grimes movies.

Also valid point @Suckit . Although I would say that certain characters have iconic weapons that pair up perfectly with certain classes, other characters you can be creative with when assigning roles.

Cindy from Oceanside?

MudMoccasin

Dawn from Atlanta Police Department?

@Muirna I made this same comment this morning in my guild when I saw Princess was being added as new hero. 

Here was a suggestion I made a while back regarding adding a female bruiser to NML.💪🏽

Nice, @Carly. That's disappointing that if you made a thread about this in 2019, we're still without a female hero bruiser in 2021.

I do think Dianne physically looks like a bruiser, but seems more known for archery and ranged generally.

Alt Rosita (love Bruisita lol) would make sense, plus she is still alive too so that's good.

I nominate @Jenng

Though not in the TV Show but she can give a hell of a beating to anyone on the forum

Her Leader Trait would be "Throat Punch." 'Nuff said.

ShadowWalker

Another option could be Andrea. She's arguably the biggest character omission from the franchise, from earlier seasons anyway. Although I would view her more as a shooter or hunter.

Change my mind

I vote Cara Dune

I smell a crossover event in the making...

JLC

Nobody’s mentioned Lydia? She already has a modified staff that’s an obvious bruiser weapon.

FuriousMoldovan

Alt Carol (Wolf Carol) with a new "Chocolate Chip Cookie" or "Cherokee Rose" weapon 👍😎

Just look at the flowers...

Jenng

@zeeblack @Governator

awwww!!!   


I probably wouldn’t survive the apocalypse 😂 I have some shooting skills but those mostly consist of poppin off at the mouth with witty sarcasm, profanity and the occasional inappropriate meme. 

Regardless we need us a throatpunching, switchblade/shiv carrying lady hero bruiser. 

Timyun

Lydia and Rosita. Let's wait for Season 11A missions and then NG will release a new hero. I think that Lydia has the largest possibility. If a thrid version of hero is availible, Maggie is also OK.

ghost_pepper

Lydia and alt Rosita. And release them at the same time with really cool LTs that pair well when they're in the same team. 

LoneWanderer360

I was thinking Lydia also because she has the staff.

Would it be any weirder than her boyfriend Rufus!?
She's the "Chris Hardwick" of the Forum!

Or Yumiko. I also like Yumiko. I hope she has a bigger role coming up and clubs in those walker skulls!

Jahaha!! Of course! 🤣🤣🤣

This game is a womenfest as it is, we don't need another one

ShadowWalker

The game is actually quite a Sausage Fest.

32 Heroes only 8 are women, Princess will be the 9th. If you like playing with dudes more that's ok, but the numbers don't lie bud.

An Alt Rosita Bruiser would be a good choice!

I confess that I expected Miko and Magna in the game as soon as I saw them in the series
