Best Brawlers to Use in Brawl Stars

Recommended Videos

There are over 30 different characters you can play as in Brawl Stars. Each character has their own unique kit that sets them apart from the competition. That said, you’ll probably only want to pick only the best brawlers in the game. Here are the five best brawlers you can play as in Brawl Stars.

While you only start out with one character, you can unlock more as you play the game. Moreover, you can also purchase them from the shop if you have enough gems. There are dozens of brawlers you can unlock, and your best character might boil down to personal preference and playstyle.

That being said, here are some heroes who are popular for their kit and high damage output. These heroes are perfect for almost any game mode and stand out from some of more niche picks in Brawl Stars.

Best Characters to Use in Brawl Stars

  • Nita
  • Pam
  • Tara
  • Spike
  • Leon

Nita – Best Brawlers in Brawl Stars

Nita outshines some of the other brawlers in Brawl Stars thanks to her fast reload speed, large health pool, and fire rate. She’s one of your go-to units when taking down tanks, but that’s not all she does.

Her Super, Overbearing, allows her to summon a friendly bear unit that attacks any nearby enemies on the battlefield. You’re essentially giving yourself another team member (or ally) to deal with any pesky enemies.

Since she can cast it almost anywhere on the map, it’s great for zoning or forcing enemies out of position. You can unlock this Brawler upon reaching 15  trophies, which is actually early on in Brawl Stars.

Pam – Best Brawlers in Brawl Stars

Pam is an amazing tank who can sustain both herself and her allies with her healing. Mama’s Kiss deploys a healing station that keeps any nearby allies topped up as long as they are within range, which shouldn’t be a problem since it has a pretty large radius.

She can even stand near her station and tank hits, making her a great choice as a camper for Gem Grab. Pam’s gun is a bit unreliable in a sense that she can either take out multiple enemies at once or completely miss her shots. Her scrap metal shots are much more effective against bunched up enemies instead of individual foes in Brawl Stars. You can unlock her from Brawl Boxes.

Tara – Best Brawlers in Brawl Stars

Tara is one of the better damage dealers in Brawl Stars due to the fact that her Triple Tarot Card can pierce through enemies. Thanks to this ability, she can make quick work of enemies who are clumped up together. This makes her a lethal threat in 3v3s as well as someone who can take down multiple opponents in Showdown.

Her super, Black Portal, sucks in any enemies within range, leaving them open to attacks. As if that isn’t powerful enough, the portal will also explode, damaging anyone caught up in the blast. Tara has some serious crowd control abilities, making her one of the best brawlers in Brawl Stars. You can unlock her from Brawl Boxes.

Spike – Best Brawlers in Brawl Stars

Spike is hands-down one of the best brawlers you can pick up in Brawl Stars. This desert dweller stumbles with his low health pool but makes up for it with his amazing firepower.

He can lob small cactuses that explode upon contact, spreading six spikes across the battlefield. While the lobbing distance might be pretty small, the spikes travel quite a ways. More often than not, you’ll be hitting multiple enemies with his standard attack.

His special, on the other hand, lets him cut off paths by setting up cacti nearby. Any brawlers who got caught up in his trap will drastically slow down. It’s a great tool against someone who’s running away or if you want to control a certain area in Brawl Stars. You can unlock him from Brawl Boxes.

Leon – Best Brawlers in Brawl Stars

Leon’s the latest addition to the game, and possibly even the deadliest brawler yet. He’s a stealthy assassin who deals more damage up close. While other brawlers might struggle with getting close to their enemies, Leon’s Super lets him become completely invisible for 10 seconds.

He’s out of sight until his timer runs up or when he finally attacks. By then, he’ll probably have you near death if you haven’t died already. You’ll have to keep in mind that his Leaf Blades won’t do as much damage if you’re fighting from afar, though. You can unlock him from Brawl Boxes.

That’s basically all the best brawlers you can play in Brawl Stars. For more tips and tricks on the game, be sure to search for Twinfinite.
