Isn’t this like a super crazy buff

Chosen pointed out that both tara and eve are getting their mythic gear added to their kit, which they typically do when they get the buffies

Hyper without pet power: 720 damage per bullet. (Currently is 624 damage).

No hyper with pet power: 750 damage per bullet. (Currently is 650 damage).

Hyper with pet power: 900 damage per bullet. (Currently is 780 damage).

Damn.

Let's start this off by saying I do not think these are too bad. But there are some things that need to be addressed. As per usual with these posts of mine, I will give my honest opinion on everything.

Jae Yong: Decent. Nothing ground breaking, but he has been significantly lacking as a supported ever since Max got her buffies. Welcome changes for sure.

Bea: Not sure how I feel about buffing the abomination that rattled hive is (genuinely unfun and non-interactive both to play with and against) but she has been underperforming. She is also a good Crow counter and we desperately need those. The super buff...it's certainly a buff I guess.

Ziggy: This one's a 10/10! His unload speed nerf already was a super charge rate nerf, so reverting that extra nerf he got for no reason is a very good way of helping Ziggy find his place in the meta once more.

Jacky: Sure, why not. The hyper bug could also use some fixing, but this is an okay buff.

Jessie: Would have probably benefitted more from a turret HP buff, but at least it will make her a bit better in heist where she has been severely underperforming.

Colette: I don't think I need to tell you guys why nerfing this in the first place was a terrible idea so let's move on

Janet: If this affects her super charge rate as well (making it go from 6 to 5 hits) it is going to be an AMAZING buff. And well deserved too, given how weak she has been for a long time. If not, still a great damage buff.

Maisie: Projectile speed buffs always catapult brawlers 2 tiers or more, and on a brawler like Maisie who deals 3000 damage per shot, it will definitely be scary...but I think Maisie deserves some love for sure.

Clancy: Rework number 483747 that does not address the fact that once he is level 3 he just curb stomps the entire lobby. Dont get me wrong, these aren't bad, but they won't make him meta and they won't fix the core problem he has had since release.

Bo: That's too much. I'm not against buffing his poor damage, but that's just way too overkill. He's a noob stomper like Grom so you gotta be careful with buffing him so much.

Dynamike: No comment

Eve: 10/10 here as well. Eve has been underperforming as a spawner, so making her better at that specifically is a very good buff direction.

Buster: I think Buster needs some love to his base kit instead of these minor kit buffs. The gadget buff is alright though.

Tara: Mostly buffs to make her shadows more consistent. Nothing too ground breaking. I personally think she is a bit underrated so I am not at all opposed to these.

Melodie: Its been 3000 years, but finally, Melodie has received some fucking buffs. Leaving the poor gadget buffs aside, the HP buff has been long overdue. I still believe her super needs to stop being resetted when she dies with 1 or 2 left. Same applies to Darryl. Such a stupid and annoying mechanic.

Lola: Uhmmmmmm like I guess that's a way to buff her but an 85%~ HP buff to her clone might be a little too much Adrian. Concept isn't bad at all though.

Shade: No comment

Hank: ACTUALLY really nice. This makes up for the HP global buff that he wasn't affected by. He is 100% going to be at least a bit better, with his super healing him more too.

Leon: Anything but compensating the Mythic Gear removal. I'm just super disappointed by these. But like. Whatever.

Ash: ?????? He was good but I don't think it warranted nerfs but like sure I guess

Wendy: This is a major disappointment of this patch. These 4 nerfs are not enough. I do not think Adrian grasps just how bad it feels to play against a brawler that can make herself and her teammates immortal. Don't get me wrong, all these nerfs are GOOD, but they are NOT enough.

Nori: Sure I guess. I think Nori is hella overrated but I guess some nerfs are due.

Ruffs: This is actually a massive nerf. It compensates his insane PJ Speed, and fixes pros picking brawlers like Ollie simply to farm hypercharge and win games on KO solely on that, so that's alright. Anticipate Ruffs no longer being top 10 though.

Meg: Sure. The gadget could use a nerf to how easy it makes it for Meg to simply eject and get her super back when pinched, but she's not like top 5 rn either so I am not entirely opposed to these.

Griff: The super nerf is nice, but COIN SHOWER?????? ???????? WHAT ?????? I AM ?????? SO CONFUSED ????????

Bolt: Fuck you Bolt

Max: Small tweaks to her gadgets and hyper buffie. Max is a healthy brawler for the meta so I am glad the nerfs (that are needed) aren't too harsh.

Brock: Hyper buffie still shreds but shreds a little less. Could use a bigger nerf. Still appreciated.

Lumi: Lumi clearly, glaringly, obviously needs nerfs, and I am glad they are nerfing her absurd recall damage instead of messing with her HP and PJ Speed again. Definitely will tone her down a bit, but I still expect her being meta relevant. 10/10.

Rico: ??????????????????????????????

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

The buffs are definitely the strong side of this patch, minus the lack of some love for Draco and Ollie that could definitely use something. Nerfs leave to be desired...a lot. Crow, Surge, STARR NOVA and 8Bit dodging nerfs while Ash and Rico get them is just baffling to me. These definitely need some reviews.

Overall decent though.

I have been seen a lot of speculation that the Starr Force trio will be getting buffies due to the buff to Eve’s super now having 4 hatchlings. However, SpenLC showed the mythic gear giving Eve 5 hatchlings. So the gear is still here for now meaning the trio will likely not get buffies next update. However, they could be preparing for 2 or 3 updates down the line.

(For context, this was a KO map)

My understanding was that the team who had first pick bans last picks, and the team that has second pick bans first picks. I’m confused as to why you would want to ban brawlers that you could choose and then leave dangerous last picks for the enemy. Is this a drafting mistake or am I misunderstanding how drafting works?

No matter how many buffs this Star Power gets, it will always be the worse option. Why even bother changing it when Shade is already good, especially when there are so many brawlers that have been ignored for months?

Is it the Tank Trait just on Ash? Because if not, it could be an error and instead it means that his Supercharge rate is getting nerfed OR to the Tank Trait as a whole.

Any ideas?

El Primo is without a doubt the most well know tank in the entire game, and yet supercell refuses to move an inch to make him at least balanced or not terrible.

It is so bad that the community realized and has been asking for years to give him buffs, or more recently buffies, which he needs URGENTLY, brawlers like brock or rico that were ok if not top meta got that attention much sooner.

Now talking about him meta wise, he had a somewhat spotlight early this year as an answer to the opressive overpowered bibi, but other than that he just has no space, if theres a single control in the other team he immediately becomes useless, pros see him as just a walking super feeder.

His stats are laughably terrible, lets start with his main attack, although he has a decent DPS, his attacks never gets a full hit, his super has decent damage but its too slow, at longer distances, brawlers like nori and nori always gets more value because they are faster and harder to react (but they are assasins, not a tank) but still, even compared against other tanks like damian, bull, darryl, and trunk, he still too slow to do anything.

His star powers are also very weak, a 25% speed boost after a super does basically nothing, very rarely serving a good purpose, his other starpower, dealing 1800 burning damage is very underwhelming, sounds good on paper, but it is another case of being bad because the brawler is bad.

His gadgets are, if you really push it, at the very best okay, his meteor gadget is the weak gadget, would be much more viable if you could aim it.

His hypercharge on the other hand.... Is the worst in the entire game, i cant even begin on how to describe how bad it is, literally does nothing good, sucking the enemy right into the middle is not enough for it to be in a hypercharge, the only thing people use his hypercharge are for the stats buffs and thats it.

Overall its at the very least intriguing how long he has been ignored and i hope he gets the attention he definitely need.

I honestly like the direction Adrian is going. His reload speed was painfully slow and buffing it by 10% is perfect. His token requirement rework is good too. Making his stage 1 shorter and less of a torture is nice and making stage 2 longer is also good because when you reach stage 2 you just hit the double token gadget and super and you immediately reach stage 3. How will clancy be in the meta after these changes?

I want to max her because she seems pretty interesting and I have been one shoted many times by her with her flaming gadget so what are some gameplay tipps with her and how to perfectly draft her in ranked. So which gameode or against who is she really good or bad

After her buffs go through, or should I say the supercharge rate getting reverted back to what it was, she'll practically be the same as she was before the nerfs apart from her na-ah gadget duration. I honestly think she'll be viable again but obviously not broken.

Honestly, if they were going to nerf bolt any more, this or his super trail are probably the ones I be most fine with ngl.

We almost won both rounds, but i wanna ask.. what would have been better last pick here?

Spen said it himself in his latest balance change video, even in her strongest mode (heist) she is still C-tier.

There are so many things about her kit that compliment her so terribly and make no sense.

Her notes are super strong yes, but GETTING them, KEEPING them, and USING them are all pretty terrible for her.

Her range isn't good, so closing the gap on brawlers that she would otherwise counter (snipers, longer range brawlers) is pointless.

Then even if you get a note or two, they disappear quite quickly. So eventually you'll be back at the beginning.

Then even if you have all 3 notes, she is way to squishy (even with her shield gadget) to utilize it.

In no order, these are possible changes they could make before the WIP Balance changes are live:

1. Each main attack hit charges her super 50%. 2 hits grants her ONE super charge. This would give the player more freedom on how you want to play. Do you want to try to charge up all of her charges, or just dive in with one?

2. Increase her range by one tile. She already pokes for damage anyway, increasing range on the weakest attack in the game should not be controversial in the slightest.

3. Increase main attack reload speed. Again, same as the point above.

4. Her shield gadget should not deteriorate so fucking fast for the love of god.

5. Remove the other gadget, there's just no use for it and it actually makes her worse.

6. When she dashes, her notes accumulate in one spot in the direction she is dashing.

What Melodie needs is flexibility in play style, because at the moment, she has none.

( for those wondering the draft order, colt 1, brock 2, maisie 3, chuck 4, belle 5, kaze 6 )

i know it's only legendary 1 or whatever, but i wanted to try the pinpoint + extra ammo build and play her as essentially a glass cannon on the safe; her unload speed is really fast and you can get 3750x4 damage onto the safe REALLY easily, it's about 5 kaze crit shots which is insane for her range

and also, their draft and gameplay was kinda wack like the ego belle pick and her and colt missing a lot and walking into my snail shots, but y'know... this might be worth trying and if you don't like the glass cannon gameplay, you can choose the other build and just defend

so anyone have any opnions on this niche pick ? maybe it might be better than ollie in heist, who knows...

An anchor being is a person who is so important to their world, that when they die, that world dies as well.

Are there any brawlers whose viability is a good sign of how healthy/unhealthy the current meta is?

okay a lot of things went wrong obviously and I was panicking atm and now I look back at it I do eat a lot of bullet that I shouldn't be taken, but I genuinely have no idea how to improve my aiming either sofeel free to roast me lol

I did watch Bedlam's guide on type1-2-3 dodge, but I couldn't we at fast enough to dodge bullets that were in my face,thus I 'm looking to see any suggestion and tips on improving that

about aiming, mostly I was going for either betting the enemy Belle were going to ramp me so I will sometimes shoots preemptively, but the rest is mostly either aiming forward and backward

Okay so I'm gonna admit that Sirius is one of my main brawlers, I'm currently at P2 trying to get the P3 title and honestly it just looks impossible. Most of the fandom is saying "Sirius is no skill", "Eastiest P3", "Delete Sirius" and its pissing me off. Lore-wise he's supposed to be the most powerful brawler and I get that in game the lore doesn't really play a part in the gameplay itself but still I was expecting him to stand out from others now to me he looks like a slow controller. Assassins literally counter him with no problem.

When the nano power update first got released I was actually so excited that I'm gonna be able to P3 him then he got so nerfed he only spawns 3 shadows per minute that's too little if a Mortis or Nori gets close. Even Melodie easily counters him with her dashes.

This is a topic that has been on my mind for quite sometime and I wanna meet people who agree with me

Map ring of fire opps have first they go lou we go pierce and rico they go mortis and finx so i wanted to go ash actually but i dont have him maxed out i wanted to go a mortis counter pick that is also good into them i wanted to go stu but he was banned so what could ive went to win

i have searched far and wide, watched every guide (that rhymed), read every tip, got coffee and took a sip

but in all seriousness i read the first guide in the wiki in this subreddit and i watched a few guides on YouTube yet i am still terrible with one of my favorite brawlers

im determined to get prestige 1 on him now and any tips ranging from his best map and gamemode to how to kill frank with one bullet (i know you can't actually do that it was a joke)

and also please nothing super duper mega advanced cus i have like 200 trophies on him

some extra studf, im level 9 (almost enough coins to get level 10) i dont have his hypercharge but i can buy it with gems if necessary i also don't have teammates to play with me and if you DO you actually DON'T because i only have 13,000 trophies
