Supercell's Brawl Stars is a 3v3 shooter that has over 80 characters for players to choose from. With so many options to choose from, it can be quite confusing to figure out which ones are the best choice. So, to help you with that, we've compiled a complete tier list for including every Brawler ranked based on their pick rate, win rate, and overall useability across all game modes.
I've split all of the Brawlers in Brawl Stars into one of five tiers, ranging from S-tier (being the best) to D-tier (being the worst).
| Tier | Brawler |
|---|---|
| S | Colt, Piper, Kenji, Moe, Rico, Surge |
| A | Byron, Gus, Belle, Melodie, Bea, Stu, Max, Frank, Darryl, Chester, Clancy, Dynamike, Mortis |
| B | El Primo, Shelly, Carl, Buzz, Gene, Colette, Kit, Gray, Nita, Gale, Cordelius, Mandy, Leon, Bibi, Angelo, Otis, Squeak, Janet, Sprout, Maisie, Larry & Lawrie, Berry |
| C | Sandy, Lou, Pearl, Fang, Jessie, Draco, Grom, Amber, Ruffs, Tara, Brock, Nani, R-T, Barley, Jacky, Willow, Buster, Bo, Spike, Bull, Charlie, Penny, Rosa, Chuck, Lily, Lola |
| D | Ash, Crow, Doug, Meg, Pam, Eve, Emz, Tick, Edgar, Hank, Griff, 8-Bit, Sam, Mico, Poco, Mr. P, Bonnie |
The S-tier Brawlers in Brawl Stars are the best picks you can choose. These Brawlers have a versatile skill set that makes it useful in almost every game mode and also have relatively higher stats in comparison to other Brawlers.
Moreover, these Brawlers are the top meta choices and have the highest pick rates among the top players in Brawl Stars. Moreover, they also have the best win rates among all Brawlers and are useful even if you don't have them leveled up.
Here's a list of all the S-tier Brawlers and why they're ranked so highly in comparison to others:
| Brawler | Rarity | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Colt | Rare | Very easy to level up, with good damage as well as range.Very versatile pick, and useful in almost every game mode, including both PvP as well as PvE. |
| Piper | Epic | Extremely long range, and super high damage. Basically a glass canon, but with the right team can wipe out enemies in any PvP game mode. |
| Kenji | Legendary | Arguably the best short-ranged Melee Brawler in Brawl Stars. Extremely high damage, and is great for ambushing enemy characters. |
| Moe | Mythic | Moe is one of the best, if not the best, long-range damage dealer in Brawl Stars. Can be hard for beginners, but with practice, is a core unit for any team. |
| Rico | Super Rare | Similar to Colt, but better damage and endurance with overall increased stats. |
| Surge | Legendary | One of the best DPS Bralwers to pick for your team. Can deal explosive damage within a good range, and has great survivability as well. |
The A-tier Brawlers include some of the good as well as great picks, most of which have lots of potential but require quite a bit of investment to truly make them shine. While there's tons of scope to use these Brawlers, you won't get much value if you keep them at base level.
Depending on the Brawler's rarity, leveling them up can be quite easy or extremely expensive. For example, if you want to invest in Mortis who is a great close-range Brawler, you'll have to grind tons of resources or even spend real money because of his high Mythic Rarity. On the other hand, low-rarity Bralwers like Gus or Dynamike don't require that many resources.
Regardless, if you don't have any S-tier Brawlers unlocked, choosing these Brawlers can be a good alternative, and if you've got the right gadgets and level-ups, these Brawlers can even beat S-tier picks.
The B tier of the Brawl Star tier list comprises most of the decent picks. These are most of the beginner-friendly Brawlers, but they don't fare well against higher Elo players. They have lower pick rates and even lesser overall win rates.
If you can invest significant resources into these Brawlers, you'll be able to go head-to-head against most A-tier picks but still lack in comparison to higher tiers. These Brawlers are safe picks for most PvE modes but aren't the best pick for PvP modes, which higher-tier Brawlers dominate.
Having high rarity doesn't always translate to being a good or useful character, especially in Brawl Stars. That's why the C tier consists of some of the picks that you should generally avoid in most cases.
More often than not, you might think that if you've unlocked a Legendary or Mythic character, they'll be extremely strong. This cannot be further from the truth as five Legendaries and multiple mythic characters belong to the C tier, and aren't that great in most game modes and get outclassed by higher tier characters.
Even if you've got resources to spare, like Gems or even character orbs, spending it on these characters won't be worth it in the long run or at higher ranks. Try to invest them into higher-tier characters.
The D-tier consists of most of the low-rated characters in Brawl Stars. These Brawlers have the weakest skill set even though some of them are of the Mythic and even Legendary rarity. They also have the lowest overall pick rate and win rate, so you should definitely not pick them PvE or PvP modes.
Moreover, even with sufficient leveling and gadgets, these Brawlers get severely outclassed by most higher-tier Brawlers, so investing resources into these characters would be considered a total waste. Try to avoid them as best as you can and get something that's ranked higher.
