Transformed diveRecommended build

Modes where she can charge safely and then commit the whole transformation to one target.

Maps where she trades at 5.67 tiles far more often than she gets a clean transformation.

How to play it

On the flank at 820 movement speed, waiting for a target to separate from their team rather than looking for a fight against all three.

The transformation is a window rather than a burst, so enter it before the engage starts; beginning it while retreating spends most of it walking.

Common mistakes

  • Transforming as a panic button and wasting the window running away
  • Committing on a tank whose health outlasts the transformation entirely
  • Fighting in the open at 5.67 tiles against brawlers with twice her reach

Reviewed recommendations, not win rates: Brawl Stars never reports which loadout a player had equipped in a match, so nobody can measure one.
