Hello, I usually active in the CR Wiki, but this is the 1st blog that I made in other wikis. This time, I’ll be talking about how the best and worst brawlers in the current meta. There’s 21 brawlers, and to be fair they all have potential in different game mode, but let’s start out with the worst brawler
Oh Pam, you’re such a good brawler in Gem Grab, But it really sucks to see her at last because she’s so awful in other modes (Except Robo Rumble)
Pam’s attack needed to get really close to deal high damage, and it’s usually not a great idea (Especially against Shelly, Bull and Darryl),she does have high HP and a healing station, but it’s not enough to justify her as a tank, and her healing station was outclassed by Poco’s burst healing.
She’s basically unusable on Heist and Brawl Ball because of how popular Bull and Darryl is, also Frank does a much better job at tanking while Poco’s a better support. Her star power is actually decent though, but due to her being severely outclassed, I ultimately have to put her at last place
However, this is NOT the case in Robo Rumble, she’s just so OP as a support, and in gem grab she can be a decent gem carrier
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/Duo showdown: Below Average
Heist: Awful
Brawl Ball: Awful
Bounty: Bad
Boss Fight: Bad
Robo Rumble: Excellent
20. El Primo[]
El Primo is a melee, while he does good in low trophies, it’s impossible for him to keep consistent in higher trophies like he used to be (Remember back then he’s so OP?). He does have high damage but is it really worth using him when we have Bull and Darryl which does even more damage, his HP is high but it’s definitely not worth it compared to Frank’s stun.
El Primo however surprisingly does well on Heist where he can jump to the safe, and deal heavy damage, and on brawl ball he can be very dangerous, he’s just so awful however in gem grab, Duo showdown and bounty. Due to the fact he’s melee, he really struggled against a lot.......
I think Primo need to hit a bit further and make his super jump longer
Gem Grab: Awful
Showdown/Duo Showdown: Average/ Bad
Heist: Good
Bounty: Bad
Brawl Ball: Good
Boss fight: Bad
Robo Rumble: Good
19. Bo[]
Bo is not consistent enough, the damage can be deadly, or it can suck. With his star power, he’s definitely in the top 10, but without it, he’s just too hard to use.
His trap can work well in a lot of situations, locating enemies, dealing heavy are damage and blow up cover. He works in every mode decently (Except Brawl Ball, But in comparison to other brawlers, not great enough
I do want to notify only the last 2 are bad, the rest are all fantastic brawlers!
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/Duo showdown: Average
Heist: Average
Brawl Ball: Bad
Bounty: Good
Boss fight: Below Average
Robo Rumble: Bad
18. Mortis[]
I know, despite not having him, I loved Mortis, I’m sure none of you hated him! Putting a Community Favourite brawler in such a low place does suck, but ultimately Mortis is viable in most modes, just not as great as Tara, the other Mythic Brawler
Mortis has amazing speed, he dashes through enemies, dealing damage, with his amazing mobility, he’s a reliable gem carrier, he’s good on showdown especially when it comes to teaming, he’s a reliable ally, he can run away too! And Brawl Ball...... yeah I don’t need to explain about that
But he’s so awful in Heist, Robo Rumble and Bounty, like he really could be the #1 worst brawler in those game modes, it’s impossible for Mortis to reach the safe, defeat enemies/ robots easily, and he kinda lacks damage against the safe.
Still, he can be great, just situational
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/Duo Showdown: Good
Heist: Awful
Bounty: Awful
Brawl Ball: Excellent
Robo Rumble : Awful (unless you use the exploit)
Boss fight: Good as boss, bad against boss
16. Bull and Darryl []
Tanks have definitely struggled a lot more than usual, months ago, Bull and Darryl are hands down the #1 and #2 best brawlers in the game, but when it changed into landscape mode, it’s much easier to spot them and much harder for them to get close enough to attack.
Let’s start with bull: Bull’s my 2nd least favourite brawler in the game, he deals ton of damage in close range, but not so much in long range. Bull has high health which can be used on tanking. He’s overall decent in everything but bounty, OP in Heist, although there’s usually better options.
His super though, oh god, it makes him closer to brawlers, breaking walls, which can be a nightmare.
I recommend Bull hiding on bushes to attack so he can surprise enemies
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/ Duo Showdown: Good
Heist: Excellent
Bounty: Poor
Brawl Ball: Very Good
Boss Fight: Good
Robo Rumble: Average
Darryl is in the same situation as Bull, except his HP is lower, shoots further, and his super rolls through the direction, it also rolls 2x as much as Bull, but can’t break walls, instead he bounces off walls. He wasn’t as good as Bull on most cases but’s a lot better than him on Heist and Boss fight
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/ Duo Showdown: Average
Heist: Excellent
Brawl Ball: Average
Boss fight: Very good
Robo Rumble: Average
15. Piper[]
I didn’t have piper, but she’s also one of my favourite brawlers because how she does quite good when I team up with her, and the fact she’s pretty. she does more damage when she’s further, but not as much when she’s close. Her super is not that great but the regular attack is probably the best.
Beware: Her HP is the lowest tied with the Barley/ Ricochet/ the legendary brawlers
Piper somehow has a spot in gem Grab recently, her sniping ability is just great, in showdown she’s more like map specific, good on most maps, but not really sometimes....... heist? You’re basically risking your trophies. Where she really shines is bounty, Range are deadly in bounty so Piper’s usually your pick. Also, never ever waste your tickets on piper, because she sucks at both Robo Rumble and boss fight...... no explanation needed
She kinda lack versatility, which puts her to quite a low spot
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/Duo Showdown: Good
Heist: Awful
Bounty: Excellent
Brawl Ball: Below Average
Boss fight: Awful
Robo Rumble: Awful
14. Penny[]
Penny is a controversial one.
She has the highest individual damage in the game if all coins actually hit 1 enemy, and she also deploys a turret, which can deal heavy damage if being careless. Her HP is decent, when she first came out she’s really not good, but she actually has a lot of potential!
With her coins stack up and dealing heavy damage, she’s definitely your pick on Gem Grab, Bounty and Robo Rumble ! She doesn’t do particularly well on other case though (Showdown’s map specific), but she’s still overall decent, not too bad, but maybe Jessie seemed better
Gem Grab: Very Good
Showdown/Duo showdown: Average
Heist: Below Average
Bounty: Very Good
Brawl Ball: bad
Boss fight: Below Average
Robo Rumble: Very Good
13. Frank[]
Frank is my favourite brawler in the game, it’s a shame that he didn’t reach the top 10 spot, but hey, there’s so many good brawlers in the game, 13th isn’t half bad!
Frank has very high HP and damage, the drawback is when Frank attacks, it takes a while to charge and hit, but the good thing is that it only takes 3 Hits to charge up his super, and guess what his super does? He does his regular attack move, except he break through walls and stuns enemies for 2-3 seconds! It can really make his enemies meet his doom before they can run away!
Like Penny, Frank is overall decent, not the best at most situations, but it’s definitely a viable brawler in most modes, the best modes he’s in is Gem Grab, Showdown, Brawl Ball and Especially Boss fight because of his stun, not that bad on Heist, Bounty and Robo Rumble, But there’s better options, so frank’s overall #13!
Fun fact: he’s the 1st brawler I reached to 500 trophies
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/Duo showdown: Good
Heist: Below Average
Bounty: Below Average
Brawl Ball: Good
Boss fight: Excellent
Robo Rumble: Average
12. Barley[]
Barley is consistently outclassed by Dynamike, due to the fact he does burst damage, even if Barley does damage overtime, his 2nd tick can be avoided by escaping the wine area
Barley however has more advantages against close range brawlers, as it can tick longer, dealing more damage overall, however his HP is ugh.,,,,,
Barley does an average job overall, it’s just that Dynamike prevents him to go anywhere further
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/Duo showdown: Average
Heist: Excellent
Brawl Ball: Average
Boss fight: Good
Robo Rumble: Excellent
11. Ricochet []
Ricochet was nerfed in the last update with his range, this actually hurts him a lot, since he’s a weaker version of Colt, except his pool balls bounces walls, with less range, he can’t reach enemies as easily and he lacks HP
With that being said, he’s still a great brawler, the damage may be weaker than Colt’s, but he can be used as a great 2nd option
Overall, Ricochet is still good
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/ Duo Showdown: Average
Heist: Average
Bounty: Very Good
Brawl Ball: Average
Boss fight: Average
Robo Rumble: Excellent
10. Jessie[]
Jessie is actually pretty great now! Her star power obviously gave her more value, but she herself is pretty decent!
Hey turret can be insane, it can deal a lot of damage if not treated carefully, her regular attack can track down more enemies if attacked someone or something, the it’s quite slow though, and her reload speed is slower, so she isn’t the most consistent one, but the damage is decent
Now she doesn’t have a lot of HP, the turret is the main reason why she’s great, and she does have the 2nd best skin in the game, she also fits in a lot of game modes too!
Gem Grab: Very Good
Showdown: Below Average
Heist: Good
Brawl Ball: Good
Boss fight: Excellent
Robo Rumble: Very good
9. Colt[]
Colt can be really dangerous, his damage is probably one of the strongest if all 6 bullets hits the target, and his movement is much faster with his star power, so he can catch up with enemies more easily
He’s once the 2nd most overpowered brawler next to the crow, the super can be deadly in all modes, but he’s noticeably fallen a lot after some heavy nerfs, but he’s still a perfect all rounder in all modes
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/ Duo Showdown: Excellent
Heist: Excellent
Brawl Ball: Average
Bounty: Good
Boss fight: Average
Robo Rumble: Excellent
8. Shelly[]
At number 8 we have the starting brawler, Shelly!
Shelly’s attack is very similar to Bull and Darryl, but her bullets spread closer, and her range is longer, her super can be very brutal, especially with her star power as she deals so much damage!
In my opinion, shelly’s one of the most versatile brawlers to use in a lot of game modes, her damage is so high, her HP is decent, Her range is good, that makes her one of the best brawler against tanks!
Some people really hate her, but I think she’s ok, overall great
Gem Grab: Average
Showdown/ Duo showdown: Good
Heist: Below Average
Brawl Ball: Excellent
Bounty: average
Boss fight: Excellent
Robo Rumble! Average
7. Brock[]
Similar to Shelly, Brock is one of the most versatile brawlers, and it’s safe to say that he’s a stronger version of Piper
The reason I say that though is because of his versatility, he has more Hp, he deals more damage when close range, and his super is obviously much better.
He’s a sniper, he can snipe opponents in Gem Grab, Showdown, basically anywhere. Where he’s most dominating is Duo Showdown and Bounty. Range is pretty important in those modes and that’s where Brock shines
However, never waste a ticket on Brock, he’s basically a waste of ticket and time, better than Piper though!
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/Duo shown: Excellent
Heist: Good
Bounty: Excellent
Brawl Ball: Average
Boss fight: Awful
Robo Rumble: Awful
The next 6 however.,......
6. Crow[]
Everyone’s favourite birdie still dominates a lot of game modes, thanks to his mobility of course! He has little HP and doesn’t have much damage, but his poison can block enemies healing which is why crow is the most overpowered brawler for quite a while, he was nerfed though, but this fails to stop him from dominating Gem Grab and Showdown
Except for Robo Rumble, I really can’t find a game mode crow is bad at, he’s an amazing gem carrier, he’s amazing at killing brawlers and running away, his super really makes him dominate heist, he can track brawlers in bounty with his poison, and he’s amazing as the ball carrier
Crow used to make Spike worse, but as times change, I can’t say he’s better than spike
So why is crow not in the top 5? He’s a legendary brawler, it’s hard to get him!
Gem Grab: Excellent
Showdown/ Duo Showdown: Excellent
Heist: Excellent
Bounty: Good
Brawl Ball: Good
Boss fight: Good
Robo Rumble: bad
5. Dynamike[]
Out of all brawlers, this is my least favourite one. But the reason is not because he suck (Why would he be in the top 5 if he sucks?), but he feels rather a bit too overwhelming.
Outclassing Barley in MOST situation, dynamike clearly is too strong and needed a nerf, if both of his dynamite actually hits the target, oh boy it’s gonna be deadly, his damage is so high! He’s a lobber so he can throw his Bomb across walls, he does burst damage too so oh god, especially his big bomb can be a nightmare
He really doesn’t struggle in any game modes, watch out for him, because the reason I hate him is because of stormy plains
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown: Very Good
Heist: Very Good
Bounty: Good
Brawl Ball: Average
Boss fight: Average
Robo Rumble: Good
4. Tara[]
Tara is an amazing brawler for almost a year, between release and nowadays, there’s a time where she struggled a bit, but since Crow meta, she’s been great again!
Tara has quite low HP and it has to get close to do high damage, since her cards has to all hit 1 target, Tara however shines in her super, it’s obviously that she has the best Super in the game, dealing heavy damage, stunning enemies, dragging them To the center of the black hole. Without her super, I think it’s obvious that Tara will be bad.
But other than that, like crow, apart from Robo Rumble, there isn’t a game mode where she’s bad at
Gem Grab: Good
Showdown/ Duo showdown: Good
Heist: Average
Bounty: Average
Brawl Ball: Excellent
Boss fight: Good
Robo Rumble: bad
3. Spike[]
Once a shadow of the other legendary brawler, crow, Spike has became OP after crow has fallen a bit, just look at his damage, it’s so deadly! When you get hit, oh Lord, it deals Like more than 1000 damage, and his cactus ball will so,it into 6 pieces, if you get hit, you’re not gonna be in a good spot
Spike is so good not just because of his damage, but his super. His super slows down enemies and poisons them until they escapes the radius. Ouch! Especially with his star power, that makes him deadlier. It makes him so good in every single game mode, and he’s no longer the shadow of crow
Although I want to hear out your opinion, is Spike better than Crow! Or vice versa?
Gem Grab: Excellent
Showdown/Duo showdown: Excellent
Heist: Good
Bounty: Good
Brawl Ball: Excellent
Robo Rumble: Average
Boss fight: Excellent
2. Nita[]
Nita used to be one of the worst brawlers, but with all the buffs she received, she reign supreme and now she’s back to being one of the best brawlers
The reason why Nita is way up high at 2nd place is because she’s the 2nd brawler you unlock, therefore you can learn all of her moves since the beginning, her attacks deals a good amount of damage, and she has the highest HP out of all mid range brawlers, Nita is always a great choice to track down enemies thanks to her bear, which tracks them even when they’re hiding in bushes, so it’s not as easy for her to be ambushed by shot gunners.
Her star power is just Average, but how she performs definitely deserves such a high spot
So why wasn’t Nita at #1? Well.......
Gem Grab: Excellent
Showdown/ Duo showdown: Good
Heist: bad
Bounty: bad
Brawl Ball: Excellent
Boss fight: Excellent
Robo Rumble: bad
Before we get to #1, let’s review!

15. Piper
14. Penny
13. Frank
12. Barley

10. Jessie
9. Colt
8. Shelly
7. Brock

4. Tara
3. Spike
2. Nita
1. ???
Finally, #1, I believe you all expected it, he used to be average, but since the range buff, the projectile speed buff, he became so overpowered, and that is.......
1. POCO[]
I guess it’s quite obvious that Poco’s #1. While he is a waste of tickets, he’s just too good on anything else, he’s amazing on Gem Grab, Great on Showdown, ok in Heist and bounty and Excellent in brawl Ball
Thanks to his buff, he’s now not only an amazing support, but he can be deadly on offence as well, his range allows him to reach enemies, dealing good amount of damage every string, and its super charges quickly, so he can heal him and his teammates easily. He also has the highest HP out of all mid range brawlers tied with Nita.
He really is fantastic as a brawler overall, in fact, who would be #1 if it wasn’t Poco?! Poco is in the forefront nerf calls, but I hope he doesn’t get a severe one, cause he’s also one of my favourite brawlers! If you have him, try and push him before he’s nerfed!
