How to counter Max

Playing Max

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

The fastest brawler in the game, whose Super gives her whole team a speed boost, so she enables everyone else more than she kills.

Early game

Use her speed to contest the objective first and retreat before the enemy arrives; she wins the opening by tempo, not by damage.

Positioning

Play forward but never stationary — she is squishy, and the moment she stands still to shoot she loses the only defence she has.

Using your Super

Boost when the team is about to commit or needs to disengage together, not on herself alone; a solo speed boost wastes most of the Super.

Common mistakes

  • Using the Super for personal escape when three teammates were about to push
  • Standing still to land the full burst and dying to something she could have outrun
  • Playing her as a damage dealer rather than as the tempo brawler she is
  • Brawl Ball, where a boosted carrier simply outruns the entire defence
  • Alongside slow tanks and carriers who need the speed to be relevant
  • Large maps where rotation speed decides who arrives at a fight first

By mode

Brawl Ball

She is either the carrier or the escort, and both jobs are footraces.

Gem Grab

She reaches the mine first at the start of every match.
