Brawl Stars: Brawler Tier List

Brawl Stars tier list for November 2026. Every brawler is ranked by win rates, pick rates, and top 200 player data. Find the strongest brawlers in the current meta.

Last updated:

Even with over 100 different brawlers in Brawl Stars, it's only a portion of the top brawlers that control most ranked Brawl Stars lobbies. Supercell introduced aggressive balance changes along with the Buffie system, and the meta received a real shake-up, resulting in an ever-widening gap between top-tier and bottom-tier brawlers.

These tier lists help you know which best brawlers in the game are worth your trophies and which ones turn into donations for your opponents.

How We Rank Every Brawler in Brawl Stars

This tier list is based on a combination of data with win and pick rates from the top players in the world, and community rankings, filtered for consistency across modes like Gem Grab and Heist. This means the best brawlers in the game that dominate a single game mode won't rank in S-tier. More factors include ease of use, Starpowers, and Hypercharges.

S Tier

Wendy delivers a unique blend of crowd control and burst damage that disrupts team fights and forces opponents into unfavorable positions. Shade applies relentless pressure from unexpected angles, punishing overextended enemies with ease. Gus rounds out the elite tier with reliable support utility and surprising offensive capability that catches opponents off guard. Bolt brings superior mobility and quick burst windows, enabling dominant aggressive plays. Amber offers sustained area denial and consistent damage output that controls entire lanes. Cosmo provides versatile damage tools and strong positioning mechanics that adapt to any situation. Vince adds explosive offensive potential and punishing burst combos that keep enemies on the back foot. Trunk completes this elite group with exceptional durability and frontline dominance that anchors team compositions. Together, these eight brawlers define the current meta through mobility, burst potential, and strategic depth.

A Tier

Nori excels at rapid eliminations and denying enemy rotations, making her a constant threat in every match. Juju and Draco bring strong offensive tools and reliable damage output that reward skilled play. Mandy and R-T offer precise ranged pressure and consistent lane control. Pierce and Doug provide durable frontline presence with solid utility. Gigi and Chester add unpredictable burst potential that punishes passive opponents. Lumi rounds out this competitive tier with flexible mechanics that fit a wide range of team compositions.

B Tier

Edgar and Bibi remain aggressive melee threats capable of punishing poor positioning, while Ash and Sirius offer durable frontline options with decent damage output. Mina and Chuck contribute reliable offensive pressure in the right hands. Gray and Moe provide situational utility that can swing matches when used correctly. Kit and Gale add supportive and zoning tools respectively, and Nani rounds out this tier with high-skill-ceiling sniping potential that rewards precise aim.

C Tier

Piper and Pearl retain niche sniping and burst value but struggle against the current high-mobility meta. Clancy and 8-Bit offer situational utility that rarely justifies their slot in competitive play. Tick and Jessie provide area denial with limited consistency, while Belle rounds out this tier with decent range but insufficient impact to compete at higher levels. Sandy's crowd control remains useful in specific modes but falls short overall.

D Tier

Nova, Barley, Shelly, Crow, and Nita occupy the bottom of the tier list this season. Nova struggles to keep pace with the dominant burst-heavy meta, while Barley's slow projectiles are easily avoided by mobile opponents. Shelly and Crow lack the range and sustained damage needed to compete effectively. Nita's bear-dependent playstyle is too easily countered, making all five of these brawlers difficult to justify in serious competitive play.

Final Verdict

The current game meta rewards aggression, so the best thing to do is to lean into it as meta shifts in favor of aggressive playstyles, and the best brawlers to choose are those capable of forcing fights. Pick brawlers capable of forcing fights, and pair them with effective supports while banning S-tier counters.
