There are various strategies that revolve around the timing and target of Gwen’s hero power.
It should be noted that casting Knighthood on a character does not count as tripling it so you will not receive a treasure. Casting it functions the same way as any other spell you won’t be able to play another spell on the same turn you cast Knighthood.
This will occupy one of your four hand spaces until you cast it. Gwen’s hero power gives you one copy of the spell Knighthood at the start of the game. She is widely considered one of the top five strongest heroes too! If you would prefer to watch a short summary of this guide, check out this video: She’s versatile and a player’s playstyle will be reflected in how they play her as she tests your greed and adaptability. But it respects the fans’ investment in the character that they can now, properly, call her Ser Brienne.Gwen is one of the most unique heroes in the game and I’m frequently asked about her on stream, hence the creation of this guide.

The series is unafraid to kill characters even in their happiest moments, after all. What this means for fan-service resolutions for other characters with long-running goals (thinking of Arya’s list, or Sandor “The Hound” Clegane’s eventual confrontation with brother Gregor, aka The Mountain), who knows, really. But it does show that Game of Thrones can deliver a payoff for a character with real substance in her adventures and who, even if she never wavered in her moral code, was endearingly complicated by her success and failure in them. It may seem a little late in the game, given how far Brienne has already gone as a de facto knight, and what little may remain of the Seven Kingdoms for her to defend after the coming battle, if she herself survives. And she has been hurt by rejection recall her story of being mocked by the suitors to her own matchmaking ball, where Renly came to her defense and won her unswerving loyalty. Brienne shrugs off the (accurate) “Lady Brienne” title at Tyrion’s mention of it, and falsely pushes away her knighthood ambition rather than face that kind of rejection once more. So in the knighting scene (which begins with a hearty “fuck tradition!” from her not-so-secret admirer, Tormund) we’re given the joy of good things coming to someone who deserves them. A sword named Oathkeeper could only belong in her hand, after all. She offered to return the sword Jaime gave her when he first sent her to find and protect Sansa. Sent there to bring back Brynden Tully and his forces for the Battle of Winterfell, she informed Jaime that if her secret negotiations inside the besieged keep failed, she would be bound to fight him. HBOĪt Riverrun in season 6, we understood her absolutism in meeting her commitments. Pledged to Lady Catelyn Stark, she undertook both the mission to smuggle Jaime back to King’s Landing and then to find and secure the safety of Catelyn’s daughters, Arya and Sansa. She was named to Renly Baratheon’s Kingsguard she avenged him by finishing off Stannis Baratheon after his defeat at Winterfell. Nonetheless, she worked in all the departments of knighthood over the years. She, after all, redeemed Jaime in the eyes of the viewer - even made him likable, a thought that would seem flat-out impossible to anyone just now seeing their first meeting in season 2.īrienne could not ordinarily be made a knight because, of course, of “tradition.” Tradition being her gender, from which her size and battle prowess had also estranged her. The device the writers called on, to make Jaime the one who knights her, is perfectly apropos. Save for Jon Snow, Brienne is the one rampart of honor among a cast of heroes and antiheroes with more compromised moral structures.
The moment is pure fan service, as well it should be. Who’s holding Game of Thrones’ most powerful weapons before the big battle
