Character Kit Reveal - Bombur

Adventuring Dwarf, Nap Connoisseur!

“The only scrap of comfort there was, came unexpectedly from Bombur. He woke up suddenly and sat up scratching his head. He could not make out where he was at all, nor why he felt so hungry; for he had forgotten everything that had happened since they started their journey that May morning long ago. The last thing that he remembered was the party at the hobbit's house, and they had great difficulty in making him believe their tale of all the many adventures they had had since.” - The Hobbit.

Key Attributes: Bombur is distinguished as one of the largest and clumsiest of Dwarves of Thorin’s Company. But don’t mistake his appearance for weakness. Bombur is a hearty defender, inspiring his friends to charge forth with haste, while confounding his enemies and slowing them down.

Inspiration: Brother of Bofur and cousin to Bifur, descended from the Dwarves of Moria. Bombur is the twelfth dwarf to arrive on the doorstep of Bilbo Baggins. He was known for his appetite and his propensity to fall asleep during the Quest for Erebor. Notably he fell into the waters of the Enchanted River in Mirkwood and fell into a deep enchanted sleep for six days. 

Strategy Tips:

  • Brilliant Blunder is a powerful attack that will keep up the pressure on the enemy squad. If Bombur starts the turn with enough Sleep stacks, he’ll gain the stamina needed to continuously use this ability.
  • Dwarven Rhythms will inflict Disrupted on all enemies. This ability is particularly helpful against squads that heavily rely on Boons.
  • Bombur has a lot of Glyph versatility. Last Stand can accelerate his turn and convert Sleep stacks to Stamina. Withering can add a lot of damage with his two abilities that inflict Banes on all enemies. Experiment and find the best combo for your squad!

Bombur’s Adventure - Asleep on the Job - is coming soon!

It is a great danger to seek the treasures within the Misty Mountains. The risk is even greater if one falls asleep in the process. Bombur learns this lesson when he is rudely awakened from a nap and finds himself in the middle of a Goblin stronghold. With the help of the other members of Thorin's Company, he must fight his way out of the mountain to continue his peaceful slumber.
