SSS-Tier Brawlers
| Brawlers | Features |
|---|---|
| Piper | Can be used to adjust the map for your benefit, wrecking barriers that your rivals would otherwise be taking cover behind. |
| Mandy | Can inflict a great deal of damage to her opponents’ safe by positioning herself next to her team’s safe. |
| Belle | Very strong against enemies grouped together because of the bouncing attack mechanic. |
| Colette | The heist safe counts as a special target to Colette, meaning that at Power Level 11, she can deal 4000 damage per hit with her Super. |
| Stu | Can hit his enemies from a distance and dash towards areas with his Super. |
| Chester | Combine his Candy Beans Gadget and his Single Bell ‘O’ Mania Star Power for the best Brawl Ball build. |
| Bea | Can inflict a lot of damage, yet she lacks any failsafe escape method to counter assassins. |
| Buster | Main attack does much more damage the closer he is compared to a ranged attack. |
SS-Tier Brawlers
| Brawlers | Features |
|---|---|
| Darryl | Able to inflict good damage to the turret in Spirit Wars due to rolling in and just shooting at it, while taking little damage because of his shield. |
| Surge | Can take projectiles that come toward him out of the air for a short second while using his Super. |
| Colt | Good on open maps where he can control the map while outranging the close-ranged brawler’s attacks. |
| Maisie | As a long-ranged brawler, you can keep enemies away from certain areas by shooting bush or important spaces to keep them away from you. |
| Rico | Great for Special Events, being able to keep firing on robots continuously due to his damage and fast reload time. |
| Bibi | Able to knock the ball out of an enemy brawler’s grip and either steal the ball or prevent the enemies from scoring a goal. |
| Gus | Super can be used to protect a teammate who has the most gems or is worth the most bounty stars. |
| Max | Super charged star power works better for team events, where Max does not have to worry about being the main brawler. |
| Amber | Super and Fire Stars gadget allows her to control the area, making her especially useful in modes like Gem Grab and Hot Zone. |
| Charlie | When an enemy brawler is in a cocoon, Penny can either splash onto you or onto her teammate, allowing them to get out of the cocoon quicker. |
| Janet | Extremely strong in the Gem Grab mode, especially if you can hold off gems when the countdown starts. |
S-Tier Brawlers
| Brawlers | Features |
|---|---|
| Byron | Long range, high tick damage, and incredible healing ability provide his viability in Team Events. |
| Draco | Real menace in lane control game modes, especially Hot Zone and Brawl Ball. |
| Tara | Can be deadly in Brawl Ball once she has her Super after a goal is scored. |
| Fang | His Corn-Fu Gadget has a great area denial ability, but also used to deal additional damage to enemies lurking close enough. |
| Emz | Excels on maps with significant amounts of open space, like Massive Attack or Skull Creek. |
| Angelo | Can shoot from a distance and deal a lot of damage both through his attacks and Super. |
| Larry and Lawrie | Have a good range and excellent area control. |
| Jessie | Very good in Big Game as the Big Brawler because she can use her Super in self defense while having 20% higher health and damage. |
| Carl | Can utilize his Super and Flying Hook gadget to obtain possession of the ball quicker than anyone else in Brawl Ball or Basket Brawl. |
| Bonnie | Can do well in Heist or Siege since once she charges her Super, she can jump on the safe or IKE turret. |
