Lone Star is a new game mode released by the brawl stars team and it’s been out for quite a while. And this is the best moment to master the strategies for lone star and get first place all the time.
You should kill enemy brawlers and for every kill the bounty on your head increases, therefore, everyone’s gonna be after you. The brawler with the highest kills or stars wins the match.
HOW TO PLAY LONE STAR BRAWL STARS GAME MODE
Rules are quite simple, kill and don’t get killed. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.
You are going to be surrounded by 9 brawlers so even if you can get a kill you might be hunted down by some other brawler when you’re weak.
This mode increases the chance of kill stealing, especially with long-ranged brawlers where they can snipe the enemies.
- Try to Isolate the enemy brawler whom you think you can kill.
- Hiding in the bushes is a viable strategy in this mode.
- Take the best brawlers for the mode and map
- It does not matter if you get killed at the start, try to charge up your super for the late game.
- Don’t be aggressive if you’re a large bounty.
- Brawlers like Piper can snipe you when your weak, so always use the walls to hide.
- Auto aiming is not gonna work here because you just can’t afford to waste your shots, unlike other game modes.
- Juke and dodge as much shots as possible, that’s the key to victory
- Big bountied brawlers tend to get surrounded
- You have to wait 7 seconds to respawn after you die, it may not sound long, but in a 2 min game, it is quite high.
- Always use brawlers with high burst potential and those which can chase the enemy brawlers.
- Don’t get caught in the middle, EVER!

Leon
Leon can use his smoke trails to get close and personal to brawlers and annihilate them.
Charge up your super at the start of the match and use smoke trails to sneak into enemies. Always try to isolate the enemy when you are about to kill them, beware of kill stealing.
Checkout how to use Leon here –Leon Guide
Besides, you can kill steal yourself, try to find a group of brawlers who are fighting one another, and super in the bush to kill both of them.
Sandy
His area control attack and her very unique super make his one of the best for this mode. She can attack more than one brawler at a time.
His incredible burst potential makes her one of the strongest in the mode. The super can help you sneak and invade enemies and can let you kill multiple brawlers at once.
Her star power can help you easily steal kills!
Piper
She needs some skill to hit her shots, but once you master her she could be deadly and you destroy brawlers sniping them mercilessly.
Snappy sniping can be very useful especially when you hit your shots, kill steal as much as possible.
Ambush in certain maps like Passage is like heaven for Piper.
Gene
His very long-range and chip damage make him a highly annoying brawler for this mode, he can easily kill steal brawlers using his super and finish them off.
Besides his spirit slap star power makes him regular attack insanely powerful.
Bea
Bea is super powerful with her attack and super but struggles against sniper because she has very low hitpoint which makes her a decent brawler choice. Her star power makes her better by helping you in a fight and winning it by 1 HP lol.
Max
Max is one of the best brawlers for this mode, but he’s not in the tier list as he’s a new brawler.
His very fast movement and super makes up for his low Hitpoints and his medium-range makes him a fun brawler to play with. He has quite low dps which makes him a decent choice for the mode
Brock
He’s an excellent long-ranged brawler dealing insane damage even close by. His burst damage is really good to attack brawlers behind a wall. You can reshape the map in your favour with his super.
Mortis
He’s great to get close and kill low hp brawler, especially kill stealing. His coiled snaked star power makes him very annoying to even long-range brawlers.
He can 3 shot and use his super to kill almost any brawler in this mode as not many people use tanks.

Shelly
She’s a really popular option especially in bushy maps and can counter brawlers like Leon and Mortis very easily.
Her super stack can kill any tanks making her very annoying in maps like Island Invasion. But she’s not a great option in maps without bushes like passage.
Bo
He does great in maps with a lot of bushes because of his eagle eye star power.
A decent brawler choice which could do well in this mode. But mastering his mechanics could help to aim brawlers easily.
Crow
He’s probably the most annoying brawler in the game but his low hp makes him very prone to Mortis and Leon.
His kills can easily be stolen but at the same time, he can easily steal kills which makes up for that.
Darryl
He’s surprisingly the least used assassin brawler in lone star and has insane survivability.
His star power steel hoops make him a very great option for this. He can two-shot almost all the brawlers other than tanks beside his auto loading super makes him one of the best choices.
Carl
He has the highest win rate in the game, but the lowest use rate. That is because only really good players play him, but he has niche viability against squishy brawlers like Piper, Barley.
He’s good at gradually chipping away enemy brawlers and his protective pirouette star power makes him even better
Rosa
Tanks are not really a great option for this map other than the bushy once where she can be invisible with her star power and super. Shes a decent option though.
Bibi
She’s a decent brawler in maps where melee brawlers flourish. Nothing more about her.
Bull
Probably has the lowest win rate just because he’s a tank and a melee brawler. Can get sniped by every brawler.
Rico
He’s a squishy brawler and can easily get sniped but his high dps bounce shots is quite good in the mode.
Tara
She does not have a very long range but she can be quite useful in maps which are not very wide open.
She can three almost all popular lone star brawlers which make her decent choice for this mode. Her healing star power could actually make her better when protected.
8-BIT
Not the best, because of his very slow movement, but if you camp in a place waiting for someone, that could be better. You cant really escape from critical situations making him a bad choice although he has high dps.
All the other which are not mentioned are of F-Tier which means you can’t use them and are the worst brawlers for lone star
