Abilities

Star Power
Power Throw

His pickaxe travels out and returns faster, shortening the gap between attacks without changing the damage.

Star Power
Protective Pirouette

He takes noticeably reduced damage for as long as his spin lasts, which makes the spin a defensive option too.

Gadget
Heat Ejector
17s cooldown

The next pickaxe leaves a trail of hot rocks behind it, and enemies who touch them burn for several seconds.

Gadget
Flying Hook
19s cooldown

The next throw drags Carl to the far end of its arc, which carries him over walls and water.

Hypercharge
Flamespin
+50% stats while active

His spin leaves a trail of hot rocks behind him, setting light to anyone who follows him through it.

Playing Carl

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

A damage dealer who throws a pickaxe that hits on the way out and again on the way back, so he cannot attack while it is in flight.

Early game

Throw at chokes and grouped enemies to get double hits; his rhythm depends on the pickaxe returning, so short throws are more efficient than long ones.

Positioning

Keep moving perpendicular to the enemy while the pickaxe is out, because during that window he has literally no attack available.

Using your Super

The spin is both damage and mobility, so use it to escape a dive or to cross open ground, not only as a damage tool.

Common mistakes

  • Throwing at maximum range where the long return leaves him defenceless for too long
  • Standing still while the pickaxe travels, which makes him a free target
  • Spinning into a group with no escape planned for when it ends
  • Chokes, where the boomerang hits the same target twice per throw
  • Heist, where double hits on a stationary safe add up fast
  • Against tanks he can kite while the pickaxe returns

By mode

Brawl Arena

The boomerang clears neutral camps without him stopping to aim.

Heist

Two hits per throw makes him one of the fastest safe grinders.
