Is The New Brawler In Brawl Stars Good
Leana Eckes
If fun is what you want pick leon. Leon is really fun to play and entertaining because its so easy to win without camping in SD. Spike is okay but you will have a boring time with him in SD and 3v3 matches. Crow is also a a good option but ultimately leon is who you should choose if you wanna have a fun time.
If you wanna win right now you should absolutely go for Spike. He is viable in every game mode and is just generally amazing. He is great in Heist good in GG and BB. He is okay in some SD maps and is viable in knockout and bounty. Crow currently is also quite good but spike is arguable better. Leon has just fallen off recently but before he was much better. He still does well on some maps though.
If you wanna go for a mix of the 2 you should go for Crow. He is fun to play and very viable. The feel of chasing down a tank as a squeaky brawler then finishing the tank off with a super that deals 3k damage!!! It is really fun to play him in BB and Sd and its easy to win with him.
She's insanely annoying to go up against, especially when the opponent knows what they're doing. Additionally, EMZ hasn't received a nerf since 2020. Furthermore, she's received a couple of buffs since. Overall, she's remain relatively untouched since 2023, keeping her atop the S Tier.
Personally, I feel Gale is easily the most annoying brawler in the game, even more so than Tick. However, it also explains why he's so good. And strangely enough, he's gotten three buffs since August 2023, with no nerfs at all. During that period, he received a slight buff to his Super which includes a slightly faster recharge rate, and more damage. Why an already toxic brawler received even more buffs is beyond us.
Bea's range and potential damage output make her one of the best of the best. She easily deserves an S+ tier ranking. In Season 25, she finally received her first balance change in some time. However, an HP Buff of only 100 does so much in dangerous situations. However, it never hurts, either.
His star powers are decent, though thankfully don't make him more powerful than he already is. Overall, we recommend Stu any time you have a challenge centered around defeating a certain number of enemies. He hasn't received a buff or nerf since 2022, keeping him atop the S tier for now.
Additionally, Ash's Super spawns little robotic rat buddies who should provide more frustration for single projectile brawlers. He also received multiple buffs in recent updates, including higher HP, more healing from his Chill Pill Gadget, and a faster charging rage bar.
The only thing keeping Ash away from the S+ tier would be Ash's slight delay before attacking. While typically not an issue for him, it can cause Ash to lose close 1v1 situations. Additionally, most short-range brawlers, including Ash, struggle in maps with very little cover. Nevertheless, he stands among the best close-range brawlers in the game.
We recommend using his X-Factor Star Power, which increases main attack's damage by 30% at max range. Considering he's a thrower who won't want to get close to enemies, this is a very useful star power. Overall, while Grom received more nerfs than buffs in recent updates, his attack covers a wide area and makes him one of the best throwers. Grom received a few nerfs back in 2023, pushing him down to the S tier. However, he's only a buff or two away from being back at the top again.
Mandy can defend herself with useful gadgets, either by slowing enemies down (Carmelize) or shooting them through walls (Cookie Crumbs). We recommend her In my sights star power, which grants Mandy 20% speed to her focus, allowing her to reach farther distances faster. Interestingly, Mandy may be one of the only brawlers never to receive a nerf. Instead, she's received three total buffs since her 2022 debut.
Nevertheless, Larry & Lawrie are still great and extremely fun to use. Larry's Super brings his brother, Lawrie, into the battlefield. At that point, most matches become 4v3s while Larry gains extra ammo with his Protocol: Assist Star Power. Furthermore, Larry and Lawrie can switch weapons with their Order: Swap gadget, making Larry much more versatile.
Lawrie feels much better than your typical bot/pet. Since he moves around, he can actually potentially dodge attacks unlike Scrappy or Penny's Cannon. While he keeps enemies at bay, Larry throws his attack safely behind walls. They work perfectly in almost every mode, with very few counters that work well against them. Despite their nerfs,
However, we can't ignore the massive amount of nerfs this dynamic duo received since they launched. Therefore, we had to take them out of S tier, and move them all the way to the bottom of A Tier. While still amazing, L&L aren't who they used to be.
Overall, Lola works extremely well in most modes, like Heist, Showdown, Knockout, Bounty, Hot zone, and more. We especially love her improvise Star Power, which grants her 30% extra damage when on her last ammo. Furthermore, she's remained relatively untouched since 2023, which means there's no reason to move her up or down this time around. Therefore, we decided to keep Lola in the A tier.
Over the past few seasons, Bibi received some love. Season 20 gave Bibi some more HP (200) to give her a bit more protection. Additionally, Season 21 saw her Vitamin Booster Gadget scale with her power level. She now heals 960 HP per second at level 11. Also worth noting: Bibi has received no nerfs since 2021. Overall, she remains one of the best close-range options in the game.
Furthermore, Bibi received a rather useful Hypercharge in 2024. Her new ability, Out of Bounds, lets Bibi's Super split into two after making contact with just one enemy. Aside from the stat boosts this Hypercharge provides, it also makes Bibi's Super more likely to damage, or even knock out more enemies. This new ability catapults her near the top of the A tier.
What keeps Griff out of the S tier is how long his attack takes to finish. When you hit opponents head on, Griff deals tons of damage. However, if you miss, you're stuck until Griff is done shooting all three waves of coins. Therefore, if you struggle to keep up with your opponent, Griff becomes almost obsolete.
Additionally, Maisie's new Hypercharge ability launches more missiles all around when using her Super. Outside of her stat buffs, the new Hypercharge adds another tool to her arsenal to wipe opponents out. Most hypercharges received tweaks back in Season 24, so it really didn't affect her placing too much this go around.
Plus, she can slow and push back opponents with her Auto Aimer gadget, whereas Mandy can only slow them down. Piper can also reload faster with every attack she lands by using her Snappy Sniping Star Power. She almost made it into the A Tier with her max damage receiving a massive buff back in 2023. Overall, she remains in the B tier as a solid long-range choice.
Piper received a minor HP and main attack damage nerf in recent updates. However, these changes feels relatively negligible, as she's still fun and effective to play with. Therefore, we decided to keep her in the B tier.
However, Pearl's super feels like a less effective version of Maisie's Super, though it does blow up walls. Like the other attacks, Pearl's heat bar also indicates how much damage you'll do, forcing you to wait before you fire. In fact, Pearl's inability to fight right away (or with a low heat bar) affects her status on this Tier list.
We moved Pearl up above Pam a while back, though the two feel similar. Essentially, Pearl is a deadlier Pam but without the healing capabilities. That said, it's totally worth the sacrifice when Pearl's heat bar raises to the max. She's already tanky enough to take some hits, so use her with confidence if you have to fight CQC style.
Lastly, Pearl's Hypercharge received some more nerfs recently. Other nerfs to her HP and Overcooked Gagdet are also preventing her from climbing up in the ranks. But, she's still a solid choice in multiple modes.
Earlier this year, Bonnie received two helpful buffs. Overall, Supercell increased her Super charge rate slightly, while increasing her main attack damage. Dealing more damage while gaining your super faster makes Bonnie a lot more viable in key situations. Therefore, we moved her slightly up the list. A hypercharge could easily see her become a menace to throwers in no-time.
Her Scrapsucker gadget takes away enemy ammo while also refilling her own. This instantly gives Pam the win in almost any 1-on-1. That being said, make sure you're not auto-aiming with the gadget activated. We imagine a Hypercharge ability would make her even nastier, though, regardless of what your setup is. However, she does possess a Mythic Gear which boosts her turret's healing capabilities.
The last time Pam received a balance change was back in October of 2023. Additionally, all the power level scaling buffed many of her abilities, keeping her up to date and ready for action. Safe to say Supercell likes where she stands. We feel the same with her in the B tier.
Like other short range brawlers, Sam might struggle in long range maps. However, he comes better prepared with the tools at his side. Nevertheless, if you like CQC brawlers, there's plenty of worse options outside of Sam.
Overall, Sam received a couple of buffs in recent updates. He deals more damage with his knuckle busters. Furthermore, his glove's impact charges his Super faster. While we kept in him B tier, he's no longer the worst B tier Epic Brawler.
We decided to move Nani to the B Tier awhile back. She's received numerous nerfs and not a single buff since September, 2023. Since that time, her damage, HP, and super charge rate all decreased. The problem with Nani is that she's a glass cannon. So while you deal tons of damage and have a great Super, you die too quickly if not careful. That said, she still works great in long-range and cl0se-range encounters.
However, Colette's only issue is with actually defeating enemy brawlers. If her support isn't great, and the randoms start sucking, then she'll have a hard time carrying the team. Nevertheless, she makes a great option when you figure out a nice team comp with her.
