Brutes gain experience and level up from fights. Each time they level they have a chance to increase one of their three stats - strength, agility and speed. They also have a chance to gain a new weapon to use in battle, a new specialty, or a new pet..

There are a total of 28 specialties a brute can gain every time they level up:

• Herculean Strength: With your strength, you are capable of moving mountains! But that moment has not yet come, you have an enemy to destroy.
• Master of Arms: Thanks to your mastery with the knife, you are turning into a really dangerous individual causing serious problems to your enemy.
• Martial Arts: Your Chuck Norris course has paid off! Now you can put your feet where you want... and more often than not they'll be on your opponent's ugly...
• Tornado of Blows: ....and you hit hit hit, that's just your way of showing love! You're a mad torrent of misunderstood love. What madnessssss!
• Shield: An armor. To stop the blows.....sometimes.
• Impact: Your blows are so devastating that your opponent drops his weapon...Now you can show it off to your friends! What about that? Is it cool or what?
• Survival: Your years of fighting have made you invincible. Mortals blows have gained you one life point instead of knocking you out.
• Fierce Brute: Now you really are a true brute. More so than ever. You are more powerful and violent than ever in the fight.

• Bomb: A bit like a water bomb, but more damaging!
