Brienne is typically a focused, quick-thinking warrior as opposed to many of the brazen, overzealous enemies that take her on. Brienne is surprisingly pragmatic in combat. She defeats Ser Loras in a mounted melee by tackling him off his horse. Later, when fighting Jaime, she uses the forested terrain to her advantage, tackling him down a hillside and using him as a Jaime-sled. She wields Oathkeeper, a Valyrian steel longsword, and keeps a concealed blade up her sleeve, but when given a choice she prefers maces.

VS
Gregor Clegane
Gregor is an eight-foot slab of muscle and can easily swing a sword meant to be used in two hands by a normal-sized man with one hand. His incredible size and strength make him naturally resistant to injury, and Bronn notes that he doesn't seem to feel blows like a normal man does, due perhaps to being in constant pain already. Gregor was "never fast", but admits he is faster than someone his size ought to be.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
