B-Tier Brawlers
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.

C-Tier Brawlers
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. |

| 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
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.
