Edgar is already one of the most annoying assassins in Brawl Stars. He jumps over walls, heals with every punch, and can quickly delete squishy brawlers. But when Edgar activates his Hypercharge, things get even scarier. His jump becomes more dangerous, his movement gets faster, and he can wipe out an entire team if nobody is ready.
Keep Your Distance
The biggest weakness Edgar has is his short attack range. He is terrifying up close but struggles against enemies who stay far away. Long-range brawlers can constantly pressure him before he gets close enough to jump. Great examples include:
- Piper
- Belle
- Mandy
- Brock
- Angelo
The more damage Edgar takes before jumping, the easier he becomes to eliminate after landing. Learning proper spacing is one of the easiest ways to counter a hypercharged Edgar in Brawl Stars.
Save Your Gadgets and Supers
One of the biggest mistakes players make is wasting their defensive tools. If Edgar is close to earning his Super, save abilities that can stop his dive. Strong anti-Edgar options include:
- Shelly’s Super
- Gale’s knockback
- Emz’s Gadget
- Gene’s knockback Gadget
- Surge’s Super
When Edgar lands, immediately push him away or stun him. Since he relies on staying close to enemies, any knockback can completely ruin his attack. Think of Edgar like a mosquito. The second he lands, swat him away.
Pick Tank Counters
Believe it or not, some tanks are excellent against Edgar. While Edgar destroys weak targets, he struggles against brawlers that can survive his burst damage and hit back harder. Strong counters include:
- Bull
- Rosa
- Jacky
- Frank
- Buster
These brawlers can absorb Edgar’s punches and punish him once he commits to a fight. A hypercharged Edgar may look scary, but jumping onto a healthy Bull is often a one-way ticket back to the respawn screen.
Stay Near Your Team
Edgar likes isolated targets. If you’re wandering around alone, you’re basically putting up a giant sign that says: Free elimination here! Stick close to teammates whenever possible.
When Edgar jumps into multiple enemies, he usually gets melted before he can heal enough to survive. Team focus fire is one of the strongest ways to counter a hypercharged Edgar in Brawl Stars. Remember: Edgar is an assassin, not a tank. He wants easy targets, not group fights.
Control Bushes and Walls
Edgar players love using bushes and walls to hide before attacking. Don’t let them. Use vision gadgets, scouting attacks, and area-control abilities to check suspicious locations. Brawlers like:
- Tara
- Bo
- Janet
- Penny
can reveal or pressure hidden enemies. The less surprise Edgar has, the less effective he becomes.
The key to countering a hypercharged Edgar in Brawl Stars is staying calm and playing smart. Edgar thrives when players panic, separate from teammates, or waste defensive abilities. Keep your distance, save knockbacks, stay grouped, and watch for his Super. If you do these things consistently, you’ll quickly learn that even a hypercharged Edgar isn’t unstoppable.
