How to Counter Brewmaster

Drunken Brawler stances give Earth magic resistance and armor and Storm evasion, while Primal Split brings Brewmaster back if any element survives. Each Brewed Up window ends in a hungover period without the bonus, and only killing all three elements before the timer ends denies the revival.

Counter items

Monkey King BarAttacks pierce the evasion that the Storm Brawler stance grants.
Black King BarSpell immunity blocks Thunder Clap and Cinder Brew.
