Brawl Stars Meta Tier List
The safest picks right now are Surge, Edgar, Mortis, Crow, Colt, Colette, Bolt, and Damian: Hypercharge value and mobility decide most matches in the current meta, while slow tanks and setup-heavy throwers are having a rough time.
Before you rush off to try these picks, it is worth grabbing the freebies first: Active Brawl Stars Codes hand out coins, Power Points, and other resources that make testing new brawlers a lot cheaper.
Because maps, seasons, and balance patches constantly shift the meta, this list updates regularly. We recommend saving this page and checking back periodically to stay ahead of the latest meta shifts.
