Abilities

Star Power
Steel Hoops

For two seconds after his roll he takes reduced damage, covering the moment he arrives in the middle of a team.

Star Power
Rolling Reload

Doubles his reload speed for five seconds after his roll, so he lands with shells to spend rather than an empty barrel.

Gadget
Recoiling Rotator
12s cooldown

Spins and unloads shells in every direction at once, and each one that connects returns a chunk of Super charge.

Gadget
Tar Barrel
15s cooldown

Coats the ground around him in slowing tar that moves with him, so anything trying to walk out of range cannot.

Hypercharge
Barrel o' Bullets
+30% stats while active

The roll finishes by spraying shells all around him, behaving much like his first gadget.

How to counter Darryl

Playing Darryl

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

A double-barrel tank whose Super is a roll that bounces off walls, so he engages and disengages in the same motion.

Early game

Trade at mid range to build the Super rather than walking in; without the roll he is a slow tank with a three-tile gun.

Positioning

Stay behind a wall you can bounce off, since the roll gaining an angle off terrain is what makes him unpredictable.

Using your Super

Roll through the frontline into their backline, then unload both barrels — rolling at the tank in front of you achieves nothing.

Common mistakes

  • Rolling straight at the closest enemy instead of using a wall bounce to reach the one behind
  • Rolling in with no ammo, which turns a huge engage into a free kill for them
  • Using the roll as an escape when it is his only way to start a fight
  • Walled maps where the roll ricochets into places nobody expected him to reach
  • Against marksmen, who cannot survive him arriving at point-blank range
  • Brawl Ball, where a rolling carrier goes through the whole defence

By mode

Brawl Ball

A roll from halfway with the ball beats almost every defence.

Basket Brawl

The roll gets him under the hoop where shots always drop.
