Walled maps where passing through terrain puts him behind a line that cannot reposition.

Against teams that turn and focus him the instant he materialises.

Shieldthe first second after arrival is the whole riskHow to play it
On the far side of a wall from their backline, which is a position no other brawler can threaten from and the whole reason to play him.
Passing through terrain is a repositioning tool, not damage, so use it to arrive behind a line rather than to run away from a fight he has already lost.
Common mistakes
- Emerging in the middle of all three enemies rather than beside the isolated one
- Spending the Super as an escape and then having no way back in
- Fighting at range, where a 3.67-tile attack does nothing at all
Reviewed recommendations, not win rates: Brawl Stars never reports which loadout a player had equipped in a match, so nobody can measure one.
