Abilities

Star Power
Heat Retention

Her Super consumes only half the heat she has built, so she can fire it roughly twice as often.

Star Power
Heat Shield

Above four fifths heat she takes reduced damage, and loses it the moment the bar drops back down.

Gadget
Overcooked
15s cooldown

Her next batch of cookies burns whatever it hits, adding damage over time on top of the impact.

Gadget
Made With Love
11s cooldown

Her next batch ignores enemies entirely and heals any ally it lands on over the following seconds.

Hypercharge
Pyrolitic
+40% stats while active

Her Super leaves a burning patch on the ground, so the area stays contested after the blast itself.

How to counter Pearl →

Playing Pearl

reviewed 19 Jul 2026

A damage dealer whose cookies get stronger as she heats up, and who overheats if she keeps firing without a break.

Early game

Build heat on whatever is in front of her rather than saving ammo; a cold Pearl does a fraction of the damage a hot one does.

Positioning

At the edge of nine tiles with a wall to step behind, because managing heat means she cannot afford to be interrupted mid-magazine.

Using your Super

The steam burst is close-range area damage, so hold it for the brawler who has walked into her rather than firing it down a lane where it lands on nobody.

Common mistakes

  • Firing until she overheats and losing the damage window entirely
  • Backing off to safety and returning cold to a fight she was winning
  • Spending the steam burst at range where its area does nothing
  • Continuous fights where the heat never has time to fall back down
  • Against tanks, since a hot volley into a large target lands every cookie
  • Modes with a fixed point she can hold and keep firing at

By mode

Hot Zone

A held circle keeps her hot, which is exactly the state she wants to be in.

Heist

A stationary safe lets her run the heat all the way up without missing.
