Brawl Stars Tier List: Ranking All Brawlers

This tier List ranks ALL 86 brawlers according to their strengths, weaknesses, and win rates in pro play.

We present to you a Tier List that ranks all Brawl Stars Characters from best to worst. The Brawlers have been ranked in tiers ranging from S, all the way to F depending on their strength, weaknesses, overall game performance, and win rates.

A Brawler is a character that the player selects at the start of every match. Each brawler has unique basic weapons/attacks, abilities, and ultimate. Brawl Stars currently has an extensive roster of 86 Brawlers. While unlocking Brawlers can be part of the fun, it also takes time and effort since each one varies in rarity.

If grinding through gameplay isn’t your style, and you want to test the top picks, buying a Brawl Stars account with all the Brawlers unlocked is an option. Sites like igitems make this possible, letting you skip the Brawler grind and jump straight into the fun with a stacked roster.

Our list of character rankings precisely aligns with the changes introduced in the latest patch, update 07.010.

Bonnie (Epic) Bonnie is a hybrid brawler with long-range damage and a flexible fighting style. She can adjust her stats to suit any situation, making her a versatile choice.
Sam (Chromatic) Sam serves as a tank with significant damage output, known for durability and versatility across all modes. He is a top choice for winning players.
Otis (Chromatic) Otis excels at crowd control, consistently dealing damage and disabling opposing brawlers. However, players must be prepared for the challenges posed by his underwater creature.

B-Tier Brawlers

Tier B
B Tier

The following brawlers can work in certain game modes or team comps, but they are not a go-to option in the current. They are in the middle of the tier list as we are not actively advising you to refrain from picking these brawlers if you like playing them, nor are we advising you to necessarily pick them every game. These Brawlers can be fun to play and are used by some people but just don’t rely on them for climbing ranked as it is unlikely to work.

Brawler (Rarity) WHY THEY QUALIFY FOR B TIER
Fang (Chromatic) Fang received significant nerfs, moving her down from S-tier to the top of the B-tier, reducing her burst potential and counterplay capabilities.
Tick (Common) Tick’s long-range attacks and area control potential make him effective when supported by his team, although he lacks durability and struggles solo.
Mr. P (Mythic) Mr. P’s recent buffs have elevated him from one of the worst brawlers to a viable option, ranking him near the top of the B-tier.
Surge (Mythic) Surge’s ranking fluctuates based on his ability to charge his ultimate, making him viable against certain enemy compositions in the current meta.
Barley (Rare) Barley’s viability has increased due to map rotations favoring him, allowing him to stay behind cover and deal damage effectively.
Griff (Epic) Griff’s recent buffs have improved his effectiveness, particularly in dealing with tanks and navigating over walls.
Gene (Mythic) Gene’s powerful super can be risky to use against high DPS enemies, but provides utility when used effectively, although he lacks consistent long-range damage.
Sprout (Mythic) Sprout struggles against close-range brawlers in the current meta but retains some viability depending on enemy team compositions.
Mortis (Mythic) Mortis excels at dashing attacks but faces tough competition from close-range brawlers in the current meta.
Frank (Epic) Frank’s effectiveness is hindered by the prevalence of anti-tank brawlers in the current meta, making him trickier to play.
Max (Mythic) Max’s recent buffs have made her a solid option, providing support to her team in various ways.
Squeak (Mythic) Squeak has generally been underpowered since release but remains a viable option in pro play for controlling the enemy team and map.
Jessie (Common) Jessie’s effectiveness depends on map features like spawns or turrets that she can utilize, struggling otherwise.
Bea (Epic) Bea can counter tanks and excel in certain scenarios but faces competition from other long-range and anti-tank brawlers.
Poco (Rare) Poco’s consistent healing is valuable to his team but faces competition from other healers in the current meta.
Grom (Epic) Grom’s recent nerfs have balanced his dominance, placing him in the middle of the tier list as a brawler.
Bull (Common) Bull’s viability as a tank is hindered by difficulties in landing his super in the current meta.
Collete (Chromatic) Collete’s second gadget and her ability to counter tanks make her a preferred pick against tank-heavy compositions.
Carl (Super Rare) Carl’s versatility is limited by the riskiness of his ultimate on offense but recent buffs have improved his viability.
Lou (Chromatic) Lou’s recent buff to his super has improved his ranking, making him somewhat viable with decent range, attacks, and ultimate.
8-bit (Common) 8-bit excels at long-range combat but suffers from slow movement speed, making him vulnerable to being caught.
Nani (Epic) Nani thrives in open maps where her basic attacks can easily land and kill multiple enemies simultaneously.

C-Tier Brawlers

Tier C
C Tier

These brawlers are a little better than the brawlers down in the F tier, but they are still weak and not worth using in most cases, especially not in pro play. If you want to pick them for any reason, pick sparingly in other game modes such as normal battle royale, so there is no team that can lag behind due to you playing these Brawlers.

Brawler (Rarity) WHY THEY QUALIFY FOR C TIER
Amber (Legendary) Amber’s damage-over-time abilities are ineffective against the prevalence of tanks and healers in the current meta.
Bibi (Epic) Bibi boasts high damage and health but faces stiff competition from superior tank brawlers.
Dynamike (Common) Dynamike’s delayed and hard-to-hit attacks make him a subpar option, in need of potential rework.
Colt (Common) Colt’s high damage output is offset by the difficulty in controlling his multiple bullet attacks, making him challenging to use effectively.
El Primo (Rare) El Primo struggles with being kited and bullied by anti-tank brawlers unless he can effectively land his ultimate ability.
Nita (Common) Nita’s bear paws can sometimes hinder her team, and she faces competition from more effective brawlers.
Shelly (Common) Shelly can counter certain brawlers effectively with her kiting abilities but lacks versatility and utility, placing her at the bottom of the C tier.

F-Tier Brawlers

Tier F
F Tier

Based on all the information we could find, and first-hand experience; we have decided these to be the worst Brawlers according to the current meta in this tier list.

These Brawlers are what you call the bottom of the barrel, they are the lowest of the low in the current meta. It is better to avoid them at all costs in ranked games. Moreover, they are just not fun to play with their gameplay being flawed or very weak.

Brawler (Rarity) WHY THEY QUALIFY FOR F TIER
Edgar (Epic) Edgar remains at the bottom of the tier list due to his vulnerability to numerous abilities and characters in the game, making him easily countered.
Jacky (Super Rare) Despite a recent buff to her superpower, Jacky still struggles to be viable in the current meta, lacking the strength and utility to compete effectively.
Bo (Common) Bo’s slow projectile speed and difficult-to-land basic attack, combined with his easily avoidable ultimate ability, contribute to his low ranking in the tier list.
Penny (Super Rare) Penny’s position at the bottom of the tier list persists despite recent updates that failed to improve her viability, leaving her lacking in strength and utility compared to other brawlers.

Brawler Rarity in Brawl Stars

For choosing a brawler to play, the first thing a player notices is the inner rating system for the rarity of brawlers in the game itself. This rarity-based system is classified into the following 7 brackets:

  • Common
  • Rare
  • Super Rare
  • Epic
  • Mythic
  • Legendary
  • Chromatic

But these classifications are not translative to the performance of a brawler in-game. The rarity of a brawler does not decide whether it is a viable option for winning games or not, it is more of an indicator of how unique and beginner-friendly the brawler’s kit is.

Tier List Criteria

We have crafted this final tier list after weeks of extensive research, first-hand experience, and consultation with pro players; the tier list has been created while keeping in mind the rarity and difficulty of the brawlers so it may be easier to find the right fit for you. Firstly, the tier list contains a description of how strong or weak every brawler is in the current meta.

Secondly, it contains an explanation of why the brawler has been placed in its designated tier. However, if you are only looking for a short tier list presenting the names and tiers of Brawlers; you may go through the Table Of Contents given above.

After having gone through our brawl stars tier list; we believe you will now be able to confidently select the brawlers you want to play and grind with. We hope this article has generally helped you expand your knowledge and understanding of brawl stars as well. Now that you are fully up-to-date with the ups and downs in brawl stars, we suggest you turn your attention toward our tier lists of some similar top-down multiplayer games such as Risk of Rain 2 and Mobile Legends
