Angelo – Marksman
Angelo stands out as the top Marksman in Brawl Stars this update, making him a powerful choice for players who love long-range combat. What makes Angelo special? He can charge up his shots to deal more damage, and with his super-fast movement and ability to walk on water, he’s great at hitting enemies while staying safe.
Angelo’s Super ability is a game-changer – it creates poison clouds that hurt nearby enemies over time. The best part? When Angelo stands in these clouds, his attacks become even stronger, adding poison damage that hurts enemies four extra times, dealing 25% more damage. This makes him deadly in both attack and defense.
Need to escape or chase enemies? Angelo’s first Gadget, Stinging Flight, lets you jump over walls and steal health from nearby enemies. His second Gadget, Master Fletcher, is perfect for hitting enemies hiding behind walls, as it makes your next arrow go straight through obstacles and multiple enemies.
Players can choose between two Star Powers that help Angelo stay alive longer. Empower lets him heal while using his Super, while Flow makes him move 25% faster on water. Both choices are great for different game modes and maps.
Ash – Tank
Looking for the best Tank in Brawl Stars? Ash dominates the Tank class right now with his unique mix of high health and damage potential. What makes him special is his Rage meter – when Ash takes or deals damage, he gets angry, which makes him hit harder and move faster. Each level of Rage boosts his damage by 50% and speeds him up, making him scarier as fights go on.
His basic attack is simple but strong – he swings his broom in a wide arc, creating a wave that hits multiple enemies. His Super ability is even better: Ash sends out 5 robot rats that chase down enemies and explode on contact. Smart players use these rats when Ash’s Rage is low, as each explosion fills up his Rage meter. These rats are also great for finding hidden enemies in bushes!
Ash has two different playstyles, thanks to his Gadgets and Star Powers. Want to play it safe? The Chill Pill Gadget turns your Rage into healing – the angrier you are, the more health you get back. For aggressive players, the Rotten Banana Gadget trades 25% of your health for instant Rage, and works perfectly with the Mad As Heck Star Power, which makes you reload up to 40% faster.
Doug – Support
Wondering who’s the best Support brawler right now? Meet Doug, who’s beating out popular picks like Poco, Ruffs, Kit, Gus, and Gray! What makes this hot dog-loving brawler so special? Doug can heal teammates and hurt enemies at the same time with his splash attack, making every shot count. Plus, he’s as tough as a tank and moves really fast, which makes him perfect for helping close-range brawlers.
But here’s what really makes Doug amazing – his Super ability can bring teammates back to life! He throws a hot dog (yes, really!) that can go through walls to reach allies. If a teammate with the hot dog gets knocked out within 5 seconds, they come back instantly with full health and extra ammo. The best part? Doug can even use this on himself!
Want to make Doug even better? His Fast Food Star Power gives resurrected teammates a big speed boost for 3 seconds – perfect for getting away or jumping back into the fight. His gadgets are super useful too: one doubles his healing (but won’t hurt enemies), while the other doubles his damage (but won’t heal allies). Smart players use the damage-boosting gadget with his Super for some surprise attacks.
For players who like to stay in the fight longer, Doug’s Self Service Star Power heals him for 20% of his max health when he attacks. Here’s a pro tip: when you use his damage-doubling gadget, it also doubles how much he heals himself!
Sam – Assassin
Surprise! The best Assassin in Brawl Stars right now isn’t Leon or Crow – it’s Sam! This powerful brawler uses his special knuckles to punch enemies twice, dealing massive damage. Thanks to his high health and speed, Sam excels at close-range fights when he’s wearing his knuckles.
Sam’s Super ability is what makes him really special. He throws his knuckle busters, hurting any enemies in their path. Without his knuckles, Sam moves faster and fights with his fists. Though his punches are weaker, he can attack much quicker. Want your knuckles back? Use your Super again to call them back, damaging enemies along the way. You can also just walk over to pick them up!
Sam comes with two useful Gadgets. His first one, Magnetic Field, works when his knuckles are on the ground – it pulls nearby enemies toward them. His second Gadget adds a knockback effect when you throw your knuckles, sending nearby enemies flying with an electric pulse.
Need to stay alive longer? The Hearty Recovery Star Power heals Sam for 20% of his health whenever he picks up his knuckles. Here’s a pro tip: throw your knuckles at a wall near enemies, then quickly pick them up to heal yourself after fights. His other Star Power, Remote Recharge, fills up his Super meter when enemies are near his dropped knuckles – perfect for playing it safe!
Nita – Damage Dealer
Looking for the best Damage Dealer in Brawl Stars? While many players love Chuck, it’s actually Nita who’s winning more games this March! Nita attacks with fast shockwaves that reload super quickly, but her real power comes from her trusty Bear companion. When Nita uses her Super ability, she calls out a strong Bear with lots of health to fight by her side.
Want to make Nita’s Bear even stronger? Her epic gear boosts the Bear’s damage by 25%, and when combined with the Hyper Bear Star Power, your Bear attacks 60% faster! Here’s a pro tip: throw your Super directly at enemies to spawn the Bear right next to them. Then use the Bear Paws gadget to stun them – this combo lets you and your Bear take down opponents easily.
Worried about your Bear getting defeated too quickly? That’s where the Faux Fur gadget comes in handy – it makes your Bear take 35% less damage for 3 seconds. But the Bear with Me Star Power might be even better – whenever you hit enemies, your Bear heals up, and when your Bear hits enemies, you heal up! This makes Nita and her Bear an amazing team when fighting together.
Larry & Lawrie – Artillery
Larry & Lawrie is the best Artillery Brawler in the Brawl Stars. In most maps and game modes, he can easily dominate the opponents. His Super, Basic attacks, and gadgets let him handle all kinds of situations.
His basic attacks throw a ticket bundle that explodes twice on landing, with very little delay between explosions, and damages nearby enemies. You can predict your enemies’ movement and time your attacks a little ahead of them to deal maximum damage with both explosions. Brawlers with slow movement speed are easy targets for Larry.
Larry’s Super is super helpful in locating opponents hiding in bushes. Using the Super, Larry summons his twin, Lawrie. Then Lawie automatically tracks the opponents and shoots them with his gun. Lawrie shoots 3 bullets in a fan-shaped area, each dealing 1400 damage at max level.
Artillery brawlers are at a disadvantage when someone chases them. It’s difficult for them to position their projectiles in the right place. But Larry has a card up in his sleeve to handle someone chasing them. His gadget Order: Swap swaps his weapon with Lawrie’s gun. Then he can shoot the gun and Lawrie throws the explosive bundles until Larry is defeated or uses the gadget again.
With the star power, Protocol: Assist, when Lawrie is in your range and damages enemies, it refills 30% of your ammo.
You can also build survival-based builds using the Order: Fall Back gadget and Protocol: Protect star power. When you use this gadget, both of you dash toward each other and heal 33% of HP. Equipping the Protocol: Protect star power, Larry takes 30% less damage when Lawrie is within 12-tile range by transferring the damage to Lawrie.
Mr. P – Controller
Want to master Mr. P in Brawl Stars? This unique brawler has a tricky attack that’s super effective – he throws a suitcase that hits enemies twice! First, it hits them directly, then bounces to deal area damage. The best part? The suitcase also bounces off walls, making it perfect for hitting enemies who are trying to run away or hide.
Mr. P’s special power is all about his porter family – he sets up a home base that sends out cute but deadly penguin robots. These porters automatically chase and attack the nearest enemy. Even better, when one porter gets knocked out, another one pops up after 4 seconds, as long as the home base stays standing!
Looking to make your porters stronger? Use the Revolving Door Star Power to boost their health by 20% and damage by 30%. Add Mr. P’s epic gear for an extra 25% damage boost, and your porters become really tough! For his main attack, the Handle With Care Star Power makes your bouncing suitcase deal 40% more damage every 4 seconds.
Mr. P comes with two handy gadgets. Service Bell makes your current porter bigger and stronger, even healing it if it’s hurt. His second gadget, Porter Reinforcements, is great for surprise attacks – it creates a porter wherever your suitcase lands. Use this to make enemies waste their ammo or to find enemies hiding in bushes when your Super isn’t ready.
