How To Play Colonel In Terminull Brigade

Terminull Brigade is a fast-paced roguelike shooter where each run is shaped by your Rogueteer’s skills, perks, and relics. Among the starting characters, Colonel stands out as a well-rounded, beginner friendly damage dealer with excellent damage and damage mitigation.

Colonel plays like a classic soldier archetype, and is suited for players familiar with modern shooters. His reliable damage, precision tools, and shield based support make him a versatile and effective pick for any run, be it solo or with friends. With a solid mix of ranged firepower and great defense options, he adapts easily to different relic and perk setups.

How To Build Colonel

Colonel is your traditional FPS style character. He’s an assault rifle user designed for flexibility. He boasts solid room clear potential, weak point targeting, and team support tools like a personal tactical shield and drone/rocket ultimate abilities. He both protects allies with his shields, and weakens enemies with precision hits and vulnerability debuffs.

Skills

Colonel’s skill set in Terminull Brigade focuses on high impact damage and tactical utility, making him a strong all rounder with a lean toward debuffing and precision play. Vulnerable Opening, his Ultimate, lets you mark an area to be bombarded for eight seconds.

Any enemy hit three times is inflicted with Enfeebled, a powerful debuff that makes them take more damage. Combined with Justice Strike, a targeted missile that also inflicts Enfeebled, Colonel can quickly weaken priority targets and follow up with heavy fire.

Enfeebled is a debuff that cause affected enemies to receive twenty five percent more damage from all sources.

Tactical Shield gives both Colonel and nearby allies a temporary shield equal to half his HP, letting him stay aggressive even in high-threat areas. It pairs well with shield scaling perks. Meanwhile, Tactical Simulation rewards accuracy by refunding a use of his Primary Skill every twenty weak point hits.

This creates a loop where good aim fuels more Justice Strikes, keeping Enfeebled up consistently and enabling a steady damage rhythm. Altogether, this loadout turns Colonel into a reliable, frontline damager with self sustain and strong debuff control.

Perks

For a Colonel build in Terminull Brigade, perks that boost weapon damage, crit rate, and skill uptime directly enhance his core strengths. Colonel’s kit revolves around frequent use of Justice Strike and Vulnerable Opening to inflict Enfeebled, making perks like Thunder Burst, Power of Gold, and Stronger Endurance ideal for amplifying burst damage.

Electric Shot and Thunderstorm ramp up attack speed and stack Thunder damage bonuses, letting him trigger effects like Lightning Attack and Archer Cubie more often.

Utility perks such as Ice Shield, Icy Piercing, and Ultimate Rhythm improve sustain and mobility, while Cubie’s Protection and Tactical Shield provide extra defense in high threat scenarios. Perks like Firearm Expertise and Exceeding Expectations reward skill cap management and fit well with Colonel’s Tactical Simulation, which refunds Primary skill charges.

This setup builds a fast, aggressive Colonel who cycles skills efficiently, debuffs targets constantly, and scales well into late stages.

Potentials

Potentials are character specific upgrades unlocked through progression. Unlike general perks, Potentials are exclusive to each Rogueteer and tailored to enhance their unique playstyle and abilities.

Colonel’s Potentials buff his reload times and damage scaling. Magazine Power, Killing Power, and Enhanced Connection boost base weapon damage through ammo recovery, enemy kills, or shield conversion, which is ideal for his sustained fire.

Rapid Reload doubles skill damage after a reload, syncing perfectly with reload-triggered perks. Firepower Mapping and Power Decay enhance his Primary missile skill with either AoE or charge based scaling, while Bi-Phasaic Feedback fuels Ultimates and ramps Primary damage with each activation.

Defensively, Firepower Cycle and Multi-Terminal Coordination turn shields into massive crit and damage spikes. Computing Power Stacking gives long-run Ultimate scaling, while Precision Strike rewards focus-fire with stacking damage.

Residual Punishment restores shields on Fragile targets, and Weak Point Explosion converts accuracy into AoE. Nova Strike adds consistent crit power. Altogether, these Potentials reinforce Colonel’s core loop: shooting weakspots with powerful hits and stacking power through skill rotation.

Relics

Relics in Terminull Brigade are lootable upgrades that drop throughout each run, offering small stat boosts and effects based on their rarity. What makes them really shine, though, is the set bonus system. Equipping two, four, or six of the same relic type unlocks powerful bonuses that can dramatically shape your build. Since you’re limited to only eight relic slots, you’ll need to make smart choices about which sets to commit to as your run unfolds.

The Medkit set of relics is great for solo runs with Colonel. This set boosts survivability and scales into late game damage. Gaining two pieces increases both Max Shield and Max Health by ten percent. With four or more pieces, every ten points of Health boosts weapon damage, up to a sixty percent bonus. At six pieces, the damage scaling climbs even higher, maxing out at one hundred twenty percent.

You can drop and exchange relics for teammates during a run.

The SMG set is perfect for Colonel’s critical weapon damage. This set increases CRIT rate and turns that into raw damage. Two pieces give a flat 20 percent CRIT rate boost. With four pieces, every ten percent of CRIT rate adds 12 percent weapon damage. At six pieces, every ten percent of CRIT rate also boosts CRIT damage by twenty five percent.

Weapons

Havenkeeper is the better weapon for Colonel thanks to its supportive Shield ability and extra Max Shield from Tenacity. It boosts team survivability while still increasing fire rate in OTS mode. Defender is a decent fallback. It lacks utility but still gives the same OTS fire rate boost, making it fine for solo play or early runs.

How To Play Colonel

Colonel is a heavy hitting DPS class that rewards precise timing and aggressive positioning. The key to playing Colonel well is building around Enfeeble uptime through his Justice Strike and Vulnerable Opening skills. Hitting weak points with your weapon quickly refunds Primary skill charges through the Tactical Simulation passive, allowing you to chain skills and keep pressure on tougher enemies.

Supporting your team with Tactical Shield helps with survivability, especially when rotating between shield-based perks like Firepower Cycle and Multi-Terminal Coordination, which scale your damage based on shield conditions.

Building around shields unlocks massive burst damage for Colonel’s playstyle.

When choosing perks and Potentials, prioritize anything that enhances weapon CRIT, skill damage, or shield interaction. Colonel excels with perks that boost fire rate, CRIT damage, and apply chain effects like Chain Lightning or Icy Piercing. Use Havenkeeper as your preferred weapon, since it adds a team wide shield and increases Max Shield, both of which directly feed into your perks.

If you don’t have it yet, Defender is still viable for keeping up your fire rate and pressure. Colonel shines in coordinated play but can also carry in solo with the right build and consistent weak point targeting.
