Brawl Stars Tier List: Best Meta Brawlers to Play

Brawl Stars is a third-person Action RPG shooter from popular mobile games developer Supercell. As a player, you control brawlers and fight against other brawlers in different game modes. While the outcome of the game will heavily depend on the individual player’s skill and teammates, the brawler itself also matters a lot because some brawlers are clearly more powerful than others.

There are over 96 brawlers in Brawl Stars with their unique skills and play styles. So picking out just one perfect brawler for yourself might be a little confusing.

Don’t worry, because we have created this tier list for Brawl Stars to help you pick out the best brawler in the game.

We have ranked these brawlers based on their performance in various game modes. This list will be updated regularly as SuperCell brings out more updates to the game.

Brawl Stars Tier List – All Characters Ranked

Curunt Meta in Brawl Stars is wild. Most of the brawlers now have Hypercharges, which have completely reshaped the entire game. We’ve got Mina dominating the ladder without even needing a Hypercharge.

This tier list ranks every brawler from worst to absolute meta gods based on win rates, pick rates, and pro-level performance. So, let’s dive straight into the rankings and break down what’s hot and what’s not right now.

Last updated: 23 October 2025

  • S+ – The Meta Gods
  • S – Top Competitive Choices
  • A – Strong and Useful
  • B – The Balanced Middle Ground
  • C – Niche Picks That Struggle
  • D – The Bottom of the Barrel

D-Tier

Brawl stars Sam
  • Sam
  • Pam
  • Colt
  • Edgar
  • El Primo
  • Pearl
  • Jessie
  • Gale

These are the worst-performing brawlers right now: low win rates, low play rates, and almost no use in top-tier play. The problem with this tier is either a lack of range, outdated kits, or being hard-countered by the hypercharge meta.

Pam is completely outclassed by Byron and Jae-yong, who offer better range, healing, and offensive versatility.

Short-range brawlers like Edgar, Sam, and El Primo can’t even reach targets before getting melted by meta sharpshooters or hybrid assassins like Cordelius and Kaze.

Pearl and Jessie struggle with low damage output and predictable attacks, making them easy to shut down.

Unless you’re trolling or doing a fun challenge, it’s best to avoid these brawlers this season.

C-Tier

Brawl stars Penny
  • Rosa
  • Chuck
  • Maisie
  • Lola
  • Surge
  • Dynamike
  • Sprout
  • Grom
  • Max
  • Shelly
  • Emz
  • Nita
  • Penny
  • 8-Bit
  • Fang
  • Clancy
  • Leon
  • Alli
  • Poco

These brawlers have some potential, but only in very specific modes or maps. Most of them are outclassed by stronger, faster, or more versatile hypercharged brawlers.

Chuck still has solid value in Heist, but falls apart everywhere else. Throwers like Dynamike, Sprout, and Grom are easy prey for speedy assassins like Kenji or Kaze, especially in open maps.

Alli and Clancy can’t keep up with the pace of this hyper-aggressive meta. Even after buffs, they’re too slow to scale into relevance. Classic tanks and short-range brawlers like Shelly and Rosa have better competition now.

Basically, these are situational brawlers. They can work, but the margin for success is tiny.

B-Tier

brawl stars eve
  • Spike
  • Nani
  • Mico
  • Eve
  • Colette
  • Sandy
  • Jacky
  • Trunk
  • Chester
  • Griff
  • Buzz
  • Bibi
  • Meg
  • Mandy

Now we’re in the “balanced but not busted” range. These brawlers have average win and pick rates, solid but not the meta-defining kind.

Spike and Colette remain great general picks in most modes, but aren’t breaking the game anymore. Sharpshooters like Mandy are struggling against aggressive tanks and assassins.

Jacky, Buzz, and Bibi have strong close-range potential but are overshadowed by Doug as tanky powerhouses. Mico and Eve are still reliable in control modes like Hot Zone or Gem Grab, though their impact is smaller now.

If you like consistent, jack-of-all-trades brawlers, this is your comfort zone, but don’t expect them to hard-carry.

A-Tier

brawl stars barley
  • Belle
  • Piper
  • Melodie
  • Barley
  • Berry
  • Rico
  • Stu
  • Brock
  • Janet
  • Mortis
  • Frank
  • Moe
  • Darryl
  • Lou
  • Willow
  • Larry & Lawrie
  • Tick
  • Ash
  • Bo

This is where things start getting spicy. These brawlers offer strong utility, solid win potential, and situational dominance depending on the map or mode.

Mortis has jumped back into relevance thanks to all the squishy ranged brawlers running around, and his hypercharge can completely flip a game. Brock and Stu stand out because they can open up maps, giving your team more control in long-range matchups.

Ash and Bo, on the other hand, dropped slightly due to better tanks and faster hypercharge counters. Larry & Lawrie could be higher if not for their extremely slow hypercharge charge time

Overall, this is the smart pick tier. If you know your maps and matchups, these brawlers can absolutely carry.

S-Tier

Brawl stars RT
  • Amber
  • Angelo
  • Bea
  • Bull
  • Buster
  • Carl
  • Charlie
  • Doug
  • Draco
  • Gene
  • Gray
  • Gus
  • Hank
  • Juju
  • Lily
  • Lumi
  • Meeple
  • Mr. P
  • Otis
  • R-T
  • Ruffs
  • Shade
  • Squeak
  • Ziggy

Now we’re in pro territory, the brawlers you’ll see in Master League and tournaments.

Doug is currently one of the most dominant brawlers in Knockout and Hot Zone due to his revive potential and great sustain. Bull is back! Thanks to some subtle buffs and a tank-friendly meta, he’s one of the best frontline brawlers again.

Ziggy (upcoming) is predicted to be powerful; his super lets him shoot through walls, offering unmatched area control. Juju and Meeple both benefit heavily from hypercharges that enhance their artillery-style supers.

Shade and RT dominate close-range, wall-heavy maps, while Gene and Buster remain top-tier utility brawlers for team coordination.

This is the sweet spot for players aiming to climb the ladder or push Power League; these brawlers can handle almost anything.

S+ Tier

Brawl stars bonnie
  • Bonnie
  • Byron
  • Cordelius
  • Crow
  • Finx
  • Jae-Yong
  • Kaze
  • Kenji
  • Kit
  • Mina
  • Ollie
  • Tara

Welcome to the elite club. These are the best brawlers in the entire game right now. They dominate every mode and have near-uncounterable hypercharges.

Mina is flat-out broken; she doesn’t even need a hypercharge. Her gadget + super combo can wipe entire teams with ease. Cordelius is the anti-hypercharge king, countering nearly every top-tier brawler.

Ollie is currently the #1 brawler in the game, with great tank power and a trait that speeds up his hypercharge rate. Byron and Jae-Yong are the best supports in the game; their healing and sustain potential are unmatched, especially with their new hypercharges.

Kenji, Kit, and Kaze can team wipe with hypercharges that grant massive burst potential. Tara has skyrocketed up the ranks; her hypercharge is almost impossible to counter, giving her major carry power. Crow and Finx round out the list as top-tier anti-tank and control specialists.

These are your must-pick brawlers if you want to dominate ladder or competitive modes.

Final Thoughts

Current meta is hypercharge-dominated and incredibly fast-paced. Mobility, burst damage, and survivability are everything. If your brawler doesn’t have a hypercharge yet, they’re probably struggling.

Right now, Mina, Ollie, and Cordelius define the top of the meta, and balance changes are badly needed to rein in these hypercharge power spikes. Until then, buckle up, because this hypercharge meta isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
