Every Brawl Stars match is more exciting than the last, and that is what makes this game so addictive. Dominating your opponents has to do with making smarter decisions before the start of the match. With new Brawlers entering the rotation, your fighting skills alone will not do you any favours. You need to rely on some good old-fashioned strategies to win.
Two of the most important intermediate tactics that will help you dominate the Power League are counter-picking and team synergy. If you want to win more games without relying on sheer luck or raw aim, mastering these concepts is essential.
Best Three Counters for Top Brawlers
In order to counter-pick effectively, players need to not only understand just who they are facing in a battle, but also how to react. You could be playing solo or with your friends. Once you learn how to counter-pick like a pro, you can turn even a losing battle into a win.
A ‘Counter’ is a Brawler that has a natural advantage over another due to speed, range, or ability interactions. Here is how you can counter most of the metas in the game.
Sharpshooters
These Brawlers depend on accuracy and open maps. Their main weakness is mobility.
Best Counters
- Mortis
- Leon
- Fang
Pro Tip: Stay on grass patches and try to move erratically to confuse your opponent when faced with a sharpshooter.
Tanks
Tanks rely on close-range pressure. Long-range and control are their biggest weaknesses.
Best Counters
- Bea
- Belle
- Spike
A good strategy would be to lure tanks to open areas. Then you can move around as you battle them.
Assassins
While Assassins are good at springing up to attack you, they lose their edge when they are forced to focus or are slowed down.
Best Counters
- Shelly
- Tara
- Jackie
Throwers
Throwers have an upper hand when they are behind walls, but you can dominate them by flanking them.
Best Counters
- Mortis
- Crow
- Colette
Pro Tip: Do not just go up to these Brawlers to attack them. Stick to the corners and gaps.
Team Synergy
While counter-picking focuses on your opps, team synergy involves paying attention to your own lineup. A well-balanced team can often destroy virtually all enemies. A balanced team comp consists of Brawlers that are a mix of long-range, close-range, and supporting ones. This lets you be versatile and adaptable no matter who you are faced with in the battle arena.
Utilizing the synergies between your Brawler and your team’s Brawlers can make or break the game. Move in coordination with your teammates so that you can focus on one enemy at a time, as well as your collective defense strategies. Brawlers often have abilities that can be used in combination, like crowd control and burst damage.
Conclusion
Understanding the Brawlers and building balanced teams are the key to gaining an upper hand in any Brawl. These intermediate tactics do not require perfect aim, just smarter decisions and more awareness about the Brawlers. Once you excel at these tactics, you will own the game before it even begins.
