How to play it
Sit on the edge of a bush and let people walk to you; her spread means the closer they get, the more of it lands.
Super Shell breaks walls, so use it to open a lane into a camping thrower rather than saving it for a duel you may not get.
Common mistakes
- Walking down an open lane at a marksman, where her pellets spread to nothing before they arrive
- Spending the Super on a full-health tank instead of on the squishy standing behind them
- Firing at max range and charging their Super for them
Reviewed recommendations, not win rates: Brawl Stars never reports which loadout a player had equipped in a match, so nobody can measure one.
