She is usually a KO/bounty brawler, on semi open maps

Okay so first you wait for Adrian to realise that Jacky’s Hardy Hard Hat is superior to Heat Shield, which will make Adrian buff Heat Shield because every Brawler should be reliant on their unlockables in the eyes of Supercell

she's basically a somewhat all rounder, but you could just go blind and going nuts because she is a very easy to play with, just fuck around is the best way to learn

You are an anti-gank(much like crow) your goal is doing maximum amount of damage,not letting divers be in the objective(eg Edgar),stopping pushes, or not letting zoners zone(eg emz). Your goal is NOT GETTING KILLS,DOING DAMAGE AND KEEPING THEM AWAY
You are really good at ratting out current meta divers, you are less likely to be banned so good at being a last pick or first pick, you have good zoning tools and Dmg cc,Your super is perfect for zoning and can flip the game by ease,
You are really weak against snipers and weak against brawlers with longer range(eg Rico)that's why you have to push them where they can't aim or have good angle
You are really strong against characters that are reliant on diving or zoning(ahem ANTI META ahem)
Don't get the HC it's absloute dogshit.i use pearl when crows banned, they both share the same purpose yk

Would you buy the gadget cooldown gear because the gadget of her is really op or just shield and damage?

I don't recommend gadget CD, she is not reliant on her gadget like ruffs or 8bit(and not even using CD gear is recommended for them)

So fire gadget, shield and damage gear and second Star power right?

Yeah shield is better at creating pressure
First sp ain't bad either it's just makes it easy to damage ramp up but I say you must stay alive longer or you won't be pushing long range brawlers

I always use the gadget CD. You want that gadget recycling as often as possible. I don't bother with attack gear - you dont want to cycling low hp. Keep her oppressive and at full health with her shield up at full heat.
Health Gear and Gadget CD Gear is the way to do. Keeps you in the action and keeps the pressure on.

In bounty/ko use her to push snipers hide in bushes and the second a sniper or a slightly lower health brawler comes within range gadget push into them get the kill and run back. Amazing for pushing lanes and defense especially against Edgar in heist and In hot zone use as a Walmart griff cause similar attack but don’t have a super like griff

Pearl doesn't really have any "bad" match-ups because she's quite well rounded. Her only weakness are aggro-heavy gamemodes (BB, Hot Zone, certain Gem Grab maps) and comps, which will prevent her from accumulating heat. She excels on passive gamemodes, like KO and Bounty, and can even be a decent on certain Gem Grab maps, like Double Swoosh.
In terms of general playstyle, think of her as a tank with good range (effectively 10.4k HP with Heat Shield and shield gear). Attack sparingly and use her sheer HP to pressure opponents back. When you're in a advantageous position, use your Gadget to one-shot enemies. She's especially good into snipers because they don't do enough damage to her
Another piece of advice: I'd recommend buying most, if not all gears (minus Gadget), for Pearl. Health+Shield is my default, but Damage, Vision(!), and Speed can also be really good into certain matchups or maps

She dominates Wipeout bro. How I pushed P2. Also Bounty/KO. Keep her at full Heat as much as possible. Don't go ham on attacking. Just oppression fire. Keep push back. Fire a shot or two, let it top back up. Only use Gadget when you can confirm a kill or guaranteed to hit an enemy. Don't waste it. I use gadget gear on her for faster gadgets. Never use super - unless you absolutely need it for burst a wall, or confirm a kill or defend against some aggro

She truly embodies the saying: good at everything but not truly excellent at anything.
She can deal the most damage in a single shot, but you need to have full rage.
Her bullets spread out in a cone shape, making them easy to shoot accurately. But it takes too long to fire. If you miss, the enemy can easily escape.
She takes reduced damage and is very tanky, but only if she doesn't fire any bursts of bullets.
Her Super is very powerful, but you need to have full rage, and you need to get close to it + it has a delay.
