If you’re new to Brawl Stars, you may be wondering which brawlers in the game work the best. But reading an entire tier list can also be draining, especially if you just want to see how certain brawlers perform. So to make it shorter, here’s our Brawl Stars Legendary Brawlers Tier List.
Brawl Stars Legendary Brawlers Tier List
The following tier list is based off of Season 26. Note that we did not factor Mutations in this list. These limited time abilities only work for a limited in modes with mutation modifiers.
Brawl Stars Legendary Tier List – S TIER
Crow – Crow is, has, and always will be literally the most toxic brawler in Brawl Stars. His attack has a nice range, and although it doesn't deal a ton of damage, it does something better. Crow's attack poisons enemies and deals damage over time, preventing them from healing while also reducing the effectiveness of enemy healers.
We love Crow's slowing Toxin Gadget, but it's been nerfed from five to two seconds after recent nerfs. However, it's still great for pursuing or scaring away enemies. We also recommend Extra Toxic, which reduces enemy damage by 15% while they are poisoned. For the cherry on top, his Enduring Toxins Gear increases his poison's damage by 30%. So you can deal more damage, slow your foes down, and reduce their damage as well. Did we mention his Super lets him jump across the map, dealing more damage?
Additionally, Crow's Hypercharge isn't exactly a game changer, but the piercing knives from his Super do help on occasion. While it won't eliminate anyone, chances are you can potentially poison a whole team. This Hypercharge works particularly well in 5v5 modes. It received a few tweaks in Season 24, but still works amazingly well.
Spike – Spike is one of two silent brawlers in the game (along with Gray). That's because lets his performance do the talking for him. His attack is a ball of spikes that breaks off into different directions, giving Spike a lot of range. But Spike becomes even more deadly with his Curveball Star Power, which lets his projectiles fly off in a curving motion. On game modes like Bounty or Knockout he won't have to go anywhere near his opponents and he can still knock them out.
Spike has a great Super as well, throwing down a zone that slows and damages enemies over time. His Sticky Spikes gear is increases its slow-down effectiveness by 30%! While you're trying to escape with your life, Spike is chasing you down, always able to reach you. We recommend his Life Plant Gadget, which provides cover and provides healing when it's destroyed.
Lastly, Spike is one of only a dozen or so brawlers with a Hypercharge ability right now, which increases his Super radius, speed, damage, and shield. This gives him a huge advantage over other brawlers. While it received some tweaks (mostly nerfs) in the latest patch notes, Spike still remains one of the best Legendary brawler for now.
He did receive a couple of damage nerfs in April, which did cause us to move the lovable cactus down a bit. Regardless, we still feel he is a solid choice.
Cordelius – Despite receiving a few nerfs in April, Cordelius still remains a top option for several team-based modes. For example, his Shadow realm can take away an opposing scorer in Brawl Ball, or a brawler within a Hot Zone. There's so many uses for Cordelius' Super that makes him so clutch.
For builds, we recommend both his Comboshrooms Star Power, which increases the damage of his second projectile. Additionally, his Poison Mushroom gadget silences enemies for 1 second. It usually grants players just enough time to wipe out their opponent with ease. Overall, Cordelius is a must-grab brawler right now.
Lastly, Cordelius received a new Hypercharge ability which slows enemies in the Shadow Realm. Aside from the usual stat boosts, this just makes Cordelius even more powerful. Therefore, he remains in the S tier among the best brawlers in the whole game.
Brawl Stars Legendary Tier List – A Tier
Sandy – Sandy deals good damage for a support brawler (1800 at Power Level 11). Additionally, he has many useful tools under his belt to make him even more useful as a team brawler. His gadgets can either put himself to sleep for healing (Sleep Stimulator) or put enemies to sleep (Sweet Dreams) and stun them. For his Sandstorm Super, he throws a massive camouflage barrier that lasts for 9 seconds.
In that sandstorm is where his Star Powers thrive. At level 11 can either heal teammates for 380 HP/sec (Healing Winds) or damage enemies for 216 HP/sec (Rude Sands). Both are useful and provide benefits for your teammates. Sandy also has slightly faster movement speed than most brawlers in the game. That speed makes all the difference in modes like Gem Grab.
Additionally, Sandy has his own Mythic Gear, Exhausting Storm, which decreases enemy damage in his sandstorm by 20%. Although he has yet to get a Hypercharge, Sandy is a great team option and complements other brawlers extremely well.
Surge – Facing off against a Stage III or IV Surge scares the lights out of everybody, there's no denying that. His main attack damage is incredible, while his Super causes more damage with knockback. Additionally, Surge's Power Shield Gadget grants him ammo when he receives an attack. Few brawlers can survive 3-4 shots, with or without Surge's Super involved in the mix. Side note – Surge is easily one of the coolest looking brawlers in the game, with all four Stages looking fantastic.
Furthermore, Surge received a few quiet buffs in recent updates. Since December 2023 he's gained 500 HP in buffs, which certainly help our soda dispensing super hero. The only thing keeping Surge out of the S tier is due to how difficult it can be to reach Stage II in certain matchups. In Stage I, Surge moves slowly and has a small range of attack. That's why we recommend the Service Ice Cold Star Power, which keeps him in Stage II when you earn in the first time.
Leon – One of the best brawlers in terms of solo play. Leon moves fast, deals a lot of damage, and has decent range to charge his super. His Super allows him to turn invisible, where he can sneak around the map and seek weaker players. His Clone Projector gadget launches a clone that's great for tricking or revealing enemies, while also serving as an escape plan.
Both of his Star Powers are great. We recommend Invisiheal, as he recharges 1360 HP/sec while invisible (Power Level 11). Since his super lasts 6 seconds (eight with Lingering Smoke Gear), it'll only take 4-5 seconds to heal him completely. You can use whatever remaining time you have to catch up to your foe or get away. However, while his Lingering Smoke Gear did get extended from 1 second to two, it still feels like a short amount of time and doesn't serve particularly better than other gears.
Leon may be best in showdown, but he's also good in modes like Gem Grab if you need someone to sneak in and wipe out the gem carrier. He can then pick up the gems and get out of dodge since he has a very fast movement speed.cLastly, Leon comes with a Hypercharge ability that keeps him invisible while he attacks enemies during his Super. In all honesty, it's not that much of a game-changer, but the added stat boosts do help in a pinch.
Before Season 25 launched, Leon received a nerf to his proximity damage by 10%. While not the biggest nerf, Leon mains may need to get closer to deal that extra bit of damage. We decided to keep him in the A tier, but moved him below Surge.
Brawl Stars Legendary Tier List – B Tier
Chester – Chester is annoying. Not just the character's persona, but the brawler himself. He's just so random that you never know what to expect with him. His main attack shoots one, two, or three bells in that order (or 4 with his Bell O' Mania Star Power, which we highly recommend). Most Chesters fire off their first shot to shoot 2-3-4 projectiles all at once for more damage.
Even with nerfs, Chester has good range, solid damage output, and his super doesn't take long to charge. His super can be one of five different things:
- Candy Popper – An explosive bomb that destroys walls
- Jawbreaker – stuns enemies
- Salmiakki – poison gas that damages enemies over time for 7 seconds
- Pop Rocks – Damages and slows enemies for 10 seconds while in its radius
- Strong Mint – Heals HP for 3 seconds after a one second delay
So you never know what to expect with our trouble-causing jester. His spicy dice gadget can change his super randomly, or his candy beans gadget gives him a random buff for 5 seconds. Chester may be random, but he sure is a lot of fun to play with. Despite a couple of health buff last year, Chester has not been the same since they nerfed his damage after his launch. We hope to see his randomness rise to the top again some day.
Kit – Brawl Stars' first ever legendary Support brawler feels pretty good to use, despite some major nerfs recently. Overall, Kit's best use is when he hops on fellow brawlers for his Super, Carry Me. In this mode, he becomes a thrower, dealing more damage he did than by himself. Additionally, if used on enemies instead, Kit stops them in their tracks and pummels them long enough for backup to arrive. This works especially well in Brawl Ball if you need a last-second save.
However, a recent nerf prevents Kit from hopping on newly respawned brawlers, removing an exploit which allow Kit to live forever. Nevertheless, he still has many uses. Kit moves really fast, which helps in any offensive or defensive situation. We personally love to use him in Gem Grab, where as a Gem Carrier he's still difficult to catch.
Another nice thing about Kit is being able to use him in both solo and team-based modes. For solo showdown, his Power Hungry Star Power gives him 200% power from each cube. However, if you prefer 3v3 matches, use his Overly Attached Star Power. This lets you stay on your teammate's back longer, letting you heal and deal more damage over time.
The only thing that drags Kit down is his low HP, slight attack delay, and dependency on his Super to deal more damage. Nevertheless, he makes up for it with his shiftiness and ability to navigate quickly. With his Super constantly charging, Kit can use it to hop on brawlers, heal them, and deal monstrous damage. Additionally, it makes for a great escape maneuver in modes like Gem Grab too.
Despite multiple nerfs after his launch, Kit received a few buffs to reassure his spot in the S tier.
Meg – It's been a long time since we heard the word Megpocalypse. However, Meg is still good ever since she was able to spawn in her Mech form. Her mech can now heal on its own instead of losing HP, though she'll have to charge her super manually. Furthermore, her mech's main attack may not have great accuracy, but her presence intimidates opponents and sends them fleeing.
Even outside of her mech, she has her uses. She can briefly give herself a shield after her mech explodes (Force Field), and her accuracy is improved. However, though she may not deal enough damage without her mech, it's nice to have an extra chance to get her mech back. She's useful in modes like Brawl Ball, Heist, and Duo showdown.
Before her nerfs back in 2023, we probably would have put Meg higher on this list. Farewell, Megpocalypse, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Brawl Stars Legendary Tier List – C Tier
Amber – Hear me out here. I understand the frustration of Amber mains seeing her here so low, especially with her new gear that slows enemies in her oil puddles. But Amber has a fundamental flaw that makes her difficult to pick up and play.
Amber can't aim without firing her attack. Unless your enemy is idle or standing in front of you, it's nearly impossible to wipe them out without missing some of your flames. And when Amber is low on ammo, she's useless until it's about 75% reloaded.
Both of Amber's Star Powers revolve around her super. One lets her spawn 2 puddles (Wild Flames), whereas the other increases her reload speed by 50% (Scorchin Siphon). But the problem is that most people are smart to her flame tactics. Just stay out of the puddle or trick her to shoot it early, and Amber is toast. Fire Starters is a nice gadget for creating a puddle to reload in or attack with, but it doesn't save her.
Amber got pulled out of the D tier when her mythic gear, Sticky Oil, launched. It slows all enemies in her puddles down by 10%, giving her a bit more time to land her shots accurately. Supercell actually had to nerf it to 10% because she was a bit too good when it was 20%. However, she received a slight damage nerf for her main attack and Dancing Flames Gadget. Overall, we think she just needs a bit more going for her to really see her thrive.
That wraps it up for the Brawl Stars Legendary Brawlers Tier List. Feel free to check out our other Tier lists for Rare, Super Rare, Epic, and Mythic, Brawlers if you're interested.
