WORKS WELL WITH

SniperLANDA ranged attacker keeps pressure on from outside its reach while this fey brute punishes anyone who tries to Stride away with a Reactive Strike.
SnareLANDA controller that pins a foe in place removes the risk of losing initiative to a Grab, letting Thrashing Chomp threaten a cluster of enemies.
FlankerLANDA mobile skirmisher can capitalize on any target Grabbed by this brute, since a Grabbed creature is far easier to finish off from a flank.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ melee reliance✖ movement near it
Do not stack another high-HP frontline bruiser; the encounter already spends its whole budget on one durable, hard-hitting threat.
