What are Delves curios and how to find them
Curios are upgrades for your Delves companions. They are obtained and added to your pull from chests at the end of successfully completed Delves. Curios have different ranks and can be upgraded upon finding higher rank ones (up to a maximum of 4th rank). Two types of curios can be equipped by Brann: combat and utility. One of each can appear in one loadout. That makes two curios in total during one Delves run.
Curios let your companions use extra abilities or add helpful passives to their kit. Choosing a good combination of combat and utility loadout can heavily impact Brann’s performance, making your Delves Tier 8+ runs much better.

Best curios for Tank Brann in Delves Tier 8+
Tank Brann appeared in Season 2 TWW and instantly became one of the strongest specs for this companion. He can taunt and tank enemies while dealing a crazy amount of damage, becoming stronger with every heal he gets. Combined with the best Brann curios in Season 2, this spec performs incredibly well. This is primarily a good tactic if your class has decent healing specialization.
This loadout features the best curios for Brann as a Tank and is concentrated on extra taunting potential from Brann’s pet and CC. Mechasaur EZ-Build Kit is a great curio for tanking as it adds toughness to your party by taunting enemies and doesn’t leave Brann as the only frontier. L00T RAID-R brings extra damage potential to the battlefield, making it easier to clear pack after pack.

Best DPS curios for Brann in Delves Tier 8+
DPS Brann spec is an excellent choice for Tank players. Most Tank classes have a decent self-heal and can sustain lots of damage on their own. However, if you were soloing Delves without Brann’s help, you would lack damage and would eventually run out of defensives. This is why choosing DPS spec with the best Brann curios we recommend is an easy way to progress through any Delve.

All of this will help you slay groups of enemies, bosses, and Elites faster. This is the best combination for better damage output.
This combination is mainly chosen when you don’t need extra healing and utility. However, Pinged Augment Chip adds an extra objective during every fight.

Best curios for Healer Brann in Delves Tier 8+
Healer Brann is an ideal choice for DPS players. During your Delves runs, you might not have any problems with damage. However, the lack of survivability might end up in bad situations. This is why choosing the best Healer Brann curios can cover all weak sides of most DPS classes.
This loadout is concentrated on extra healing from Brann while buffing overall damage. This is the most efficient combination for Brann’s Healer role. However, Pinged Augment Chip adds an extra objective during every fight. You have to make sure none of the bots reach Brann. Otherwise, he might get knocked down. Overdrive Pylon buffs Brann’s healing while letting the player deal more damage during the fight.

Universal best Brann curios for any role
This loadout is almost broken in the current meta and can be used with any Brann specialization. Three Dimensional Bioprinter curio make numbers turn on your side and becomes significantly stronger with each rank. Pets from Mechasaur EZ-Build Kit makes this number advantage even more obvious. Despite mainly dealing physical damage and being melee units, your elites and mechanosaurs have insane impact. This works incredibly well against bosses.

Comments
I’m a Blood DK and always take Brann as a healer with the Mechasaur Kit and the Pylon. Always clear tier 11’s without loss of life with this set up.(Unless the underpin shows up).
* Three Dimensional Bioprinter is USELESS for caster classes and specializations because Bioprinter I and Bioprinter II only do auto-attack damage and their damage is based upon the player’s ATTACK STAT. Stick to Pacifist Rig instead; sure it’s a random proc but it’ll still be way better than the 3D trash and has notably changed post-patch release.
* Speaking of Pacifist Rig, you did a crap job describing what it does. CC? Really? It is more than just that, particularly the higher the curio rank.
* Don’t undersell the Pocket Factory curio — it is deceptively powerful to the point I’m half-afraid Blizzard will nerf it at some point.
