Overall changes (rankings)
Gem Grab

8 BIT
We’ve got 8 bit going from the A tier down to the unranked category, well really just a non-competitive category. There are stronger brawlers that have been released since 8-bit and 8-bit just has not aged very well in gem grab due to his lack of speed.
EL PRIMO
El Primo was also going down from the B Tier here into the non-competitive tier list as well and with his short-range and longer unload speed al primo is kind of like one of the weaker tanks in the game right now and this result is kind of a reflection of that.
SHELLY
Shelly’s also moving down from the B tier to the unranked category. Okay, the meta is less filled with tanks which means that Shelly just doesn’t really have many tanks for her to counter so that means that she’s just not as good
as she used to be.
MAX
Max is going into the B tier starting out here especially after being buffed Max’s chip damage and potential to quickly kill a gem carrier and then run away with the gems makes her more than deserving under the B tier.
PAM
Pam is also going from the A tier here into the beats here now there are more ranged gem carriers and so Pam’s like minimal damage from a distance just kind of makes for less valuable as some of the other long-range gem carriers.
BO
Bo is going down from A tier down to the B tier. Here there’s a lot of better, stronger, longer-range options and his super is really good but it only gets value when enemy players make mistakes so he’s just not really great here like he used to be for gem grab.
POCO
Poco is also going from the A tier down to the beads here similar to Pam and Bo. Really Poco just struggles against his long-range threats and he just does not deal very much damage even when you do get close to him which makes him just a little bit more of a risky gem carrier.
EMZ
Emz is going from the A tier down into the B tier here. This is mostly due to how many of the maps have been removed and added and changed which has actually made a less viable option because they’re less wide open meaning that should get value out of her attacks less frequently.
BIBI
Bibi is going down from the A tier into the B tier and with the rise of stronger tanks like Rosa and Daryll, Bibi just isn’t as good as she used to be.
SPIKE
Spike is going from the S tier down into the A tier. Now he’s overall really good at range damage per second burst potential really easy to hit his shots with but he’s just not a very excellent in any one category to really distinguish him as an Excellent brawler especially with the release of newer and stronger options.
DARRYL
Darryl’s making his way up into the S tier from the A tier. Now despite his 0.5 seconds nerf to his steel hoops he’s still really good okay autoloading super means that he’s a constant throughout to enemy gem carriers and other range brawlers as well.
BEA
Now Bea is being added into the S tier despite a nerf to her second star power, the queen bee finds herself securely locked in S tier as either a gem carrier or is a lane brawler on one of the sides. She’s just really good, her burst damage and her slow make her really it kind of uniquely able to deal damage from a distance as well as still damage to agro brawlers that get really up close to her which is something that typically long-range brawlers tend to struggle against.
MR.P
Mr.P is being added into the S tier replacing Gene as the golden S Tier brawler for gem grab. Mr.P, he is absolutely dominating the game, his turret serves as like a really persistent annoyance for the enemy team right and it can be placed practically anywhere on the map and still a great value and it’s gonna be really hard for enemy’s players to really get rid of it. His main attack damage to serves as a really good like range attack as well as AoE properties that are also like a thrower light kind of thing attack around walls Mr. P is really versatile and functions very well as either a gem carrier or a support type brawler so like if you got Mr. P and Bea you can go back and forth and without a really great combo.
BRAWL BALL

CROW
Crow is going down from the B tier into the non-competitive tier, the unranked category we’re starting to see a lot more tanky brawlers in brawl ball as well as like ranged threats which means that Crow’s not very good because he can’t out range the ranged brawlers and he doesn’t have the DPS to handle those tanks on defense.
BIBI
Bibi is going from the A tier down into the B Tier. They are have been some nerfs to her star power and just her, in general, that’s kind of finally caught up to her many of the newer brawlers like Emz and Bea have kind of served as really good counters against BB so she’s not very good.
EL PRIMO
El primo is moving from the A tier down into the B Tier as well. El primo he was really good it’s like a ball carrier could throw it down and kick it in but Daryl is just even better right he has an auto-loading super means that he’s gonna be a better gem carrier or ball carrier than him in almost every type of situation.
POCO
Poco is going down from the A tier down to the B tier. There are a lot less tanks to support and there’s a lot more high damage threats in the game which means that Poco’s low damage makes it very difficult for him to defend and he’s a lot less likely to have really tanky teammates for him to actually even support as well he is really good with the right comp but that’s about it.
8 BIT
8-bits going from down from the A tier into the B tier. He has the dps to defend but he does not have the speed to help score goals which usually means that he’s just like struggles to kind of catch up to his teammates and that’s just not good.
TICK
Tick is also going down from the A tier here into the B tier. Tick has gotten a lot of nerfs since the last year list and really just makes it so that he struggles against those close-range brawlers that get really up close to them and that happens a lot in brawl ball which means the tick is just not as good as it used to be.
SPIKE
Spike is down into a tier case you learned in gem grab spike is still amazing at doing a lot of different types of things but in today’s meta brawlers need to be excellent at both offense and defense in order for them to biassed here and Spike is just great it’s just not excellent at everything it’s just great.
TARA
Tara is going down from the S tier into the A tier. Tara’s super can make it can absolutely be game-changing but she’s really vulnerable without her super and since it’s hard to charge up we’re gonna move her down to the S tier for now.
EMZ
Emz is also going from the S Tier into the A tier and his DPS and control make her really great in brawl ball but brawler‘s that can out damage her from a distance or can quickly close the gap between her and them makes her just a lot less of an excellent choice because she does just a little damage up close.
DARRYL
Darryl is going up from the A tier up into the S tier despite a recent nerf Darryl’s actually been buffed overall since the last year list three months ago and receiving those boosts to both his health and his main attack damage has been really excellent for him despite two nerfs to his steel hoops star power Darryl is still an absolute beast in the hands of a pro and definitely deserves the s tier position in this competitive tier list.
MAX
Max who is being added into the S Tier for brawl ball with her run and gun star power. Max’s chip and of like auto-aim melee damage is really devastating. Her super helps cover her team on both defense and it also helps them with scoring quick goals on offense which makes her a real threat to the enemy team.
BEA
Bea is being added into the S tier with impressive range and the ability to deal with brawlers close up. Bea yet again reaches that S tier category for brawl ball now despite the nerf to her honey coat star power she just basically still kind of benefits from like an extra life every time she like almost dies.
MR.P
Mr. P is being added as the golden S Tier brawler replacing Spike. He’s got insane win rates across almost all the modes and there’s really no reason to I mean you guys understand why he’s so good.
HEIST

CROW
Crow going from the B tier into the non-competitive tier. Let’s be honest guys, Crow he’s just kind of in a rough spot right now, okay that’s just low DPS, I don’t even need to explain.
PIPER
Piper’s going down from the B tier into the non ranked category here. Maps are a lot less open now she can like kind of work but there are long-range were options they’re just better than Piper and it just makes her a lot less well she’s kind of useless.
BEA
Bea is being added into the B tier. She’s really good against tanks but kind of lacks the DPS to really threaten the enemy safe it’s like she doesn’t load her supercharged shot when she’s attacking inanimate objects so that makes her not so good.
BROCK
Brock is also going down from the A Tier into the B Tier. There are a lot more maps that are better for close-range brawlers which means that Brocks’s abilities just really decrease in the heist.
DYNAMIKE
Mike is going from the A tier into the B tier despite him being a really common choice in the heist. Dyna Mike really struggles and rollers get up close to him which makes him really a lot less viable, he’s really good on offense but once again he struggles a lot on defense.
MR.P
I know he’s not in the S to your category for once but it is kind of understandable especially when you consider the fact that he has lower DPS overall and he is kind of weak against those close-range brawlers that are really good in heist that being said he’s still good enough for A tier and he’s I mean he’s just really good.
MAX
Max is also being added into the A tier her ability to help her whole team go on an offensive push and deal tons of damage with her like a seemingly never-ending supply of a new mission and UMich ammunition when she has her run-and-gun star power I mean she’s just a lot of fun.
BIBI
Bibi is going down from the S tier into the A tier. Tanks are starting to get countered more and more in the heist and BiBi just really struggles against those meta options which is why we’re moving here away from the S tier.
RICO
Rico’s going from the S tier into the A tier. He’s a solid brawler with a solid win rate and a solid damage and he can even counter tanks but he’s just not quite as good on every map now like he was in beforehand so we move him down for now.
8 BIT
He’s coming down to the A tier from S tier. 8-bits DPS and super are like practically built for heist, many maps actually require a wall breaker for him to actually be able to attack the safe from a distance which means that he’s just kind of not running at full capacity the whole time.
SANDY
Sandy is going up from the B tier up into the A tier. Modern heist strategies really take advantage of Sandy’s super which generates control and that helps tanks kind of bridge that gap between them and enemy brawlers or the safe or whatever he’s just really good at helping those team pushes happen.
EMZ
Emz is also going from the B Tier up into the A tier with her insane DPS and her ability to counter tanks at a range ends can unload a ton of damage on the safe while also defending really well when she would need suit which is great now.
BULL
Bull still holding it down as the golden S tier, king of heist only two brawlers find themselves in the S tier that is Darryl and Bull really these two brawlers are just outshined every other brawler and it was really close between Bull and Darryl, that Bull we feel like is the better of the two tanks especially because he has that additional range from that super end he can break walls is really good.
BOUNTY

LEON
Leon going for the B tier into the non-competitive tier with so many long-range burst damage brawlers and turret brawlers who just are not as we close up like they used to be the fact that Leon is only good up close just really makes him as a weakness in the mode.
POCO
Poco is going down from the B tier to the unranked category as well at one point aggressive strategies did work in bounty but we have long-range brawlers a little bit more well-rounded now and that makes it so that Poco is not really a great option.
BIBI
BiBi is also going down from the B Tier the non ranked category as mentioned close range brawlers just have become less but viable in bounty and so Bibi’s no exception.
8 BIT
8 Bit is also going down from B tier to the non-competitive tier despite the value that he gets from his super. His slow speed makes him a really easy target for enemies and that’s just not something you can afford in any competitive bounty match were avoiding being killed is just much more important than actually getting kills.
BEA
Bea who is starting off in the S tier with her explosive damage up close or at a distance brutally wipeout brawlers with even decent amount of health right. And with her honey coat star power, Bea basically needs to be killed twice before dying in the bounty which that’s just insanely good for this mode.
MR.P
Mr. P is being added into the s tier replacing Piper as golden S tier brawler for bounty. Best brawler for the bounty that’s three out of four modes right that’s insane his practically indestructible turret requires constant ammunition from enemy players and that’s a big deal in bounty. He has impressive range, he can shoot from behind cover and mr. P has more health and mostly as your bounty brawlers which just makes him the best option in the bounty.
SEIGE

8 BIT
He is going from the A tier to the B Tier and going down to non-competitive tier being able to travel distance is really important siege even more so now than ever which means 8 bit is just left behind.
LEON
Leon is also going from B tier into the non-competitive tier, many of the best brawlers just simply have too much health for Leon to really be able to handle so that’s enough of him.
EMZ
Emz is going from A tier down to B tier. Close range options are really strong in siege right now and although Emz’s typically does counter them there’s also typically enough cover with the current maps we’re gonna be able to avoid her damage and just yeah just makes her a little bit less viable.
EL PRIMO
El primo is going from the A tier and down into the B Tier. Stronger tanks are there and siege along with newer stronger brawlers just overall makes el primo just not as good within the mode.
PAM
Pam is going from the non ranked tier up into the B tier with a high DPS for good offense against the Ike turret and defense against the giant boss bot along with a few maps that really support her range to playstyle pan is now viable in siege not the best but viable.
RICO
Rico’s going from the uncompetitive tier up into the B tier this is because of the addition of maps that are just more in favor for his balance shots and that makes him more viable.
MAX
Max is being added into the A tier. Max is so good since her recent buffs and her super could really help teammates control the center as well as go on an offensive push.
BEA
Bea is being added into the A tier. Bea’s range and charged shot make her an absolute beast against a lot of different types of brawlers however, she does really struggle against the bots and the Ike because they do not charge up her attack which is why she is in the A tier.
BIBI
Bibi’s going from the S tier down into the A tier. She used to be so good because she could use her either of her star power so really always secure that first bolt, but now we have brawlers like Daryl and Sandy that make it easier to gain control even if you don’t have it right off the start which makes her a lot less of a crucial brawler to really have on your team.
MR.P
Mr P no surprise here. He’s just so good, I’m just not gonna explain it, he’s just broken.
DARRYL
Darryl’s going up from the S tier up into the S tier. Darryl’s role completely defines the meta in siege from dives onto the enemy Ike to securing bolts. Darryl is just so good on controlling Center offense, defense whatever you need Darryl’s got it right?
SANDY
Sandy’s going from the A tier up into the S tier replacing Rosa as the best brawler for siege if you haven’t tried Sandy and see you’ve got to give him a shot, he’s so much funny so good despite him having lower DPS. He’s actually able to completely shape the center of the map and help your teammate dominate with his storm and star power meaning you guys got control to grab those bolts when you need to and the enemy team is nothing able to heal while they’re in the center and that really is just fantastic it helps your team go invisible and that pressure on the enemy team is really good even if it doesn’t feel a whole lot of damage.
SOLO SHOWDOWN

PIPER
Piper’s going from the A tier down to the B tier going out to the non-competitive tier. There’s a lot less open maps which benefit from you know ranged brawlers like Piper so she’s taking quite a significant hit when it comes to playing by herself.
PENNY
Penny’s going down from B tier into the non-competitive tier as well just kind of the same reasons.
SHELLY
Shelly’s also going from the B tier down to the non-competitive tier. She doesn’t have the range to deal with long-range brawlers and there are a lot less melee brawlers which and that means that she can tell she just doesn’t have brawlers for her to counter so she just really gets picked on showdown.
TICK
Tick is also going from the B tier into the non-competitive tier. He’s gotten too many nerfs and that’s just made him appear vulnerable for a solo showdown which means that he’s just not able to defend himself.
DYNAMIKE
Dyna Mike is also going from the B tier into the non ranked category as well for the same reasons just close up combat he struggles gets picked on you guys know them.
MORTIS
Mortis, right you got it, brawlers poke is going down. From the A tier into the B tier.
POCO
Poco used to be a great teamer because of his low burst damage. He was really non-threatening but teaming has kind of become a lot less common so he ends up being picked on a lot instead, he’s just not viable just he’s well I mean he’s viable, he’s not the best.
COLT
Colt is going from the A tier Down to the B tier. He has low health, his shots are harder to hit and they’re easier to dodge which makes him one of the weaker brawlers in the solo showdown.
RICO
Rico’s going from the A Tier down to the B tier for the same reason as Colt is low health just not good, yeah I mean maybe a couple of maps where he’s good but that’s about it.
MAX
Max is being added into the A tier right. Her respectable tip damage, huge burst damage up close max is really good in this mode and I really like playing her like in the giant Robo modifiers. She’s so good taking out that boss was just getting super beefed up on power cubes.
BEA
Bea is being added into the A tier. Holding a charged shot just really signifies like a threat to enemies right that allows her to maintain a safe distance and also her honey coat star power often allows her to live when she should normally be killed and that is incredibly strong in the showdown.
MR.P
Mr P is being added into the A tier. Its kind of like a well he’s a support brawler that means it he’s not super great when he’s by himself but he’s definitely a solid option.
BROCK
Brock is going for the S tier down to the A tier. Brock used to be really great because he had good solid burst damage and that hasn’t changed but the brawler’s that are good in the showdown are a lot tankier now and that burst damage just is not enough for him to maintain S tier status.
LEON
Leon’s going from the S tier down to the A tier. That is so sad despite the power of invisibility for ambushing or you know just running away Leone’s just not very good from a distance and he really struggles in the 1v1 situations against the S tier brawlers. He’s still great just not excellent like he used to be.
CARL
Carl’s going from the A tier up into the S tier, he has a lot of health, he’s got great range, he’s got a super that allows him to get up close and do well on up close or escape if he really needs to, he has a super high win rate and absolutely deserves the S tier
PAM
Pam is going for the A tier up into the S tier as well she’s not the best at range but she can use that range enough to kind of keep those close-range brawlers or you know keep just keep brawlers pushback from a distance and she’s got that health to really be able to survive a few attacks from a range as well and of course she has really great closed-off damage as Pam does an amazing job holding down her own territory with her turret that heals her which is really important in the competitive showdown
8 BIT
8 Bit, he is staying as the number one the best, the golden S tier brawler for solo showdown. He literally has another life if he dies he comes back that’s broken in showdown right it’s not good as it used to be now that he doesn’t respawn with the attacks loaded but you know this still really broken.
DUO SHOWDOWN

BARLEY
Barley is going down from the A tier down to the B tier. Modern showdown maps have a lot more grass than they used to and that means that he is just more vulnerable.
PENNY
Penny’s going down from A tier into the B tier as well. Penny’s greatest asset is her turret but it can be kind of tricky to charge up and doesn’t get as much value as it used to especially now because like people just team up on that turret they see a penny threatened that everybody’s like kill the turret.
LEON
Leon’s going down from the A tier to the B tier, despite being a tier brawler in the solo showdown. The fact that players tend to bunch up in duo showdown and just make him less viable here.
EMZ
Emz is just going down from the A tier into the B tier, the current set of maps are a lot less open which actually means the Emz’s has a harder time finding value in her attacks.
RICO
Rico is going down from A tier into the B tier despite benefiting from the support from like a duo partner. Rico’s low health just still leaves some really vulnerable in this mode were surviving is everything so kind of unfortunate.
NITA
She is going up from the non-competitive tier up into the B Tier as a mid-range option, she’s now viable now that the maps are a little bit less open and you know she’s has a little bit opportunity there.
MAX
Max is being added into the A tier for all the reasons max is A tier in solo. She’s got that speed boost which is gonna help her teammate as well and that’s also really fun.
BROCK
Brock is going down from the S tier into the A tier again lots of strong brawlers with a lot more health means that his burst images aren’t enough to justify that S tier.
TICK
Tick is also going from the S tier into the A tier since the nerfs to takes attack he is steadily becoming less reliable and this is due to his shots and landing a lot less consistently and just the fact that he can control well he can’t still work just not quite as well as before.
PIPER
Piper’s also going from the S TIER into the A tier. Today’s showdown maps are a lot less suitable for those long-range brawlers and so Piper’s just you know she struggles a little bit more now.
MR.P
Mr. P is being added into the S Tier arguably the best brawler in the game. I don’t think this one comes as a surprise and in solos, he kinda lacks that support due to hit you know him being a support brawler but in duo showdown, he does a really good job of thriving.
CARL
Carl is also going from the A Tier up into the S tier, same reasons his solo showdown, he’s just really good.
BEA
Bea is being added into the S tier and she’s replacing Gene as the golden S tier best for duo showdown. She practically has an extra life with her honey coat star power and she also has abilities that work great against melee brawlers and long-range brawlers. She’s just insane, she’s really really good.
