Best Brawlers for 2024

How Our Brawl Stars Tier List Works

This Brawl Stars tier list for 2024 ranks brawlers from all rarities, from rare to mythical, based on multiple criteria. Our team carefully considers the following aspects to determine the best brawlers:

• Damage Output: How much damage can a brawler inflict, and how quickly can they do it?
• Versatility and Adaptability: How effective is a brawler in different game modes and situations?
• Survivability and Defense: How much damage can a brawler withstand, and what defensive skills do they possess?
• Utility and Crowd Control: Does a brawler have any abilities that control the flow of battle, like crowd control or area denial?
• Map Control and Zoning: How well can a brawler influence the battlefield, denying areas to opponents and controlling strategic points?
• Damage Potential and Consistency: Does a brawler deal damage effectively over time, or does their damage output decrease the longer the fight lasts?
• Synergy and Team Contribution: How well does a brawler work with other brawlers in a team composition?

Based on these criteria, we’ve assigned each brawler to one of four tiers, representing their overall effectiveness:
