Best Characters For Brawler Build

Protagonist, Strohl, and Basilio

Character	Explanation
Protagonist	The Brawler build is a good place to start for the Protagonist if you plan to have him take on a more active role in the offensive lineup of your party. Its Support Skills can also help reinforce allies' attacks during battle.
Strohl	Strohl's stat allocation prioritizing the Strength stat makes him a natural choice to equip the Brawler build. The added buffs from its own Support and Passive Skills can help obliterate foes in an instant.
Hulkenberg	Hulkenberg is a good recommendation for the Brawler Build, as her stat allocation leans more on Endurance which enables her to lessen the incurred damage from enemy attacks and use her HP to access Brawler Skills in combat.
