Watching the content quality in editing and script writing feels completely different knowing how hard Lex works to push this out in a horrible time for brawl videos. We all appreciate the relentlessness, this new perspective is surreal at times.
Real, if u see this lex we hope ur doing well❤
Completely agree
Lots of love Lex❤
And he only whined about buggies a tiny bit.
W comment
12:30 the moment there was a 3rd assassin spot I already knew
Me too
My main😂
Best brawler
same bro same
Caw caw?
First brawler I ever maxed out was Nita. She was my first power 9 back when there weren’t any star powers, back when big boxes and little boxes were earned from games, before the first season, before club league, before power play, before trophy road was extended, long ago.
sans_with_gunbrooo gadgets and star powers came in 2020 what u talking about I play from 2019
The good old times
@AvishamTripathistar powers were made in 2018
crazy throw back right there
@AvishamTripathinope that’s cap
I knew Crow would make it. ❤
15:28 it was jessie, when there were only star powers. My first power 11 was shelly though
3:42 it was😔👌
Youre not the real one
7:57 that was NOT necessary 😭💔
I feel like Barley has always been consistent no matter use case, whether controlling lanes in hot zone or just pure support and healing. Great video Lex!
As a lilly main im very happy
15:19 It was Shelly since her hyper was for free.😊
Fr
Newgen
Me tooo
@mishoheuejsnenenen8 so what dude 💔
when
I feel like Chester’s hyper buffie is going to make his main attack only go through the 3 and 4 bell attacks
14:22 GET OUT🗣️🗣️🗣️
I know right XD I thought he was going to say Edgar
@nightfall913I knew he would say crow edgar is no skill😅
@KARTIKKALIYAAN honestly Edgar is really good and always a good Brawler to upgrade, he can almost always come in clutch at the end of a game, Edgar can literally demolish a whole team with ease, and because he takes no skill to use, my bad randoms can still be useful when using him. And also Edgars a really solid Brawler in ranked.
But Crow🐦⬛? Nahh Crow is in garbage tear, sorry lex but no ones afraid of crow, the only way to lose to a crow is by running away from a crow, the moment you're close to a crow, you can easily serve him up for breakfast 🍳. The only time when Crow comes in clutch is when he gets 10 gems and flies away, and the only way a Crow can demolish a team is if he has his hyper and is really lucky. Also Crow takes more skill to use. I've lost WAY WAY WAY more times to my bad random Crows, then to an actual Crow 🐦⬛ 😤 SO MANY TIMES THAT I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER! Sorry lex but Crow in general is a bad brawler to have on your team, and can be easily replaced with Jessie, not only is Jessie a better crowd control brawler, she can even push back a team more easier then Crow. Sorry lex but I just don't really like Crow because he's not that good in general, he has bad health and isn't even a solid brawler to have in ranked.
@nightfall913 I thought he said Leon
@nightfall913bro what are you talking about I'm ranked in champion 3 and my 70 of games are played as crow
Gus not being in this list is A CRIME
I feel like Berry is underrated too. He is pretty fun to play ngl and pretty good since he can shoot over walls, heal, control areas, dash, knocks back enemies and heal using the gadget.
Fr hes pretty good and versatile
Gus is a must have for new players, just play him like a typical Marksman
Out of 89 brawlers, you made a list with the worst 💀☠️
09:09 argh I hate her star power which makes enemies hit by gris-gris attacks slows down
10:20
Goldelius exists, Draco is a strict no ranked investment.
14:00 is that terraria music 😏
Fr I was jamming out when I heard it
Good list, but what about Larry and Lawrie during the throwers?
my first ever maxed out brawler was back when u got them from level 9 to level 10 by getting their starpower. It was nita.
Everyone, make this blow up and make lex happy for his 2026 year.
15:28 Brock, at the time when there was only one Star Power and nothing else. Well setting the ground on fire is sick isn't it?
Larry and Laurie definitely should have been in the artillery section for best brawlers
15:19 My first was Eve. I genuinely think she doesn't get enough credit, especially with her hyper that, in right circumstances, pushes the enemies back to their spawn. Love her
8:19 juju mention!!! ❤
My first brawler was penny,and she’s also my favorite brawler,I got her from the free rewards when you start the game and have been in love since,I found out she was f tier at the time but I was always like”they don’t know her like I do”now after the rework it all paid off😭😭
same story bit with emz, this guy himself rated emz f, but now shes under top 3
Thank u so much man . I was searching for this
13:00 or you can shut down a chuck and RT on heist stopping them from using their hypercharge and super
I needed this video. I have a lot of resources and I don’t know what brawlers I should max out.
1:50 what about r-t?
Idk
Clancy
Squeak not being here is diabolical
1:03 best brawler in the game
Nah man
It’s definitely still Rico or that one thrower with the voodoo doll
@rongfran8971juju
Remember bro content creation isn’t always about how many people watch your videos it’s about how many people you pull to your videos
EMZ could’ve been in the controller but you said no buffie brawlers
Well, before buffies she was a decent brawler, good on some maps and had a little bit disadvantage with assassins even with her save gadget. But right now? No bro, she just became a new brainrot brawler, who has no counters. So we can already tell that supercell will kill her as much as they made her broken. I’m not saying that she is bad but she can’t provide as much stability as brawlers in the video
because emz wasnt meta before her buffies😭
@Linda.x0xyeah in competitive meta but in normal ladder pushing and low trophies shes a amazing pick
You should also talk about how lily and cordelius can help each other in the shadow realm
15:19 my first maxed brawler was Nita, I pulled her hyper out of a legendary starr drop and now I have her top 100 hoping to get a prestige.
This is really well presented! I do wonder about Gene, who I think is way better in coordinated teams than alone.
Why does alli not have green skin on the thumbnail... That looks so cursed
Yeah I noticed that too 😭
bro hasnt aged 1bit from the last time i watched him
As a Bull main, I’m happy someone finally put Bull in the list.
Let’s play I love bull
Im in l2 rn
@mekshot. lets go😂. whats your user
“Looking for Bussiness” guy is my favorite
14:14 💀 bro seriously favouritism is real
I mean he’s not wrong. Crow is really annoying if he has a good team synergy. By himself he’s just decent, but with the right team he became a monster💀
@Mioko63yeah but I feel like he could have just made him as an assassins choice instead of Cordelius or Lily
If i had the credits and resources💀
The first brawler I ever maxed out was Edgar because he was just op but when I went to higher lobbies I saw how he can get countered
me 2 but after some time went by hes so lame to me "youre so lame" .. yes you are edgar .. yes you are
7:43 Otis is wild!
07:00 I think a buffie Frank can survive that
And Rosa hypercharge shield.
@jessep8884hm maybe not Rosa cuz I have died alot trying to flex Rosa's hypercharge in game it really isn't that great
If the conditions are right.@ckbspyt6257
Fang should get honorable mention. Being able to dash, stun, reset the dash makes his very strong and his long range attacks are good for vision and healing prevention
FINALLY SOMEBODY MENTIONS CHESTER I was a chester main since his release, and literally noboldy noticed how op he was as soon as the season ended
i always knew omne of the first legendarys i randomly pulled when he was released i think after Amber and Sandy the third one and i like his unique ult maybe i will max him out next well see
Supercell taking notes which Brawlers will be nerfed after this video
14:20 I ADORE THE CROW GLAZING❤
not putting a brock on there is criminal
My first max out was 8-bit
Same lol
That's dope. I picked up the game a couple months ago after not playing for years and I'm already close to prestige 2 w/ him
@mfagoodmorning nice, I sadly haven’t pushed him in a while, and my only prestige 2 is Surge
14:20 my main crow mentioned 🔥
I agree with all of your choices in this video, but I'd like to throw out a few more good suggestions.
-L&L have always been one of if not the best throwers in the game. Even with the release of Juju, who some people think is now the best thrower, L&L are still good and sometimes better than Juju in certain situations. L&L are good in pretty much any map and any mode. I'm surprised you didn't choose them for throwers.
-Gus is a great support AND damage dealr just like Byron. The meta is very assassin heavy rn and Gus literally specializes in dealing with assassins, both supporting/countering them. His ghosts spawn nearby to enemies, which is where your teams' assassins are during a match. His shield helps teammates deal more damage and he can use it himself to counter assassins. Assassins will always take up most of the meta, so it's safe to assume Gus will always be relevant
-Kaze I'm not THAT sure about, but since she is an ultra (and so far the only brawler in the rarity) I don't think Supercell plans on making her a bad brawler. Even ignoring her rarity, she's a really good assassin and is very versatile with her 2 forms.
-Buster is a really good tank since he not only deals ridiculous amounts of damage up close but he also has that shield to help himself and his teammates push up the map safely.
-Angelo has always been the best marksman by far and he still has a place in the meta even after the addition of Pierce. He's good at dealing with enemies up close, can go over water, can go over walls, piercing gadget, literally everything you want from a sniper.
-Berry is a good support and damage dealer with the same, if not more area control potential as Barley. I would even push and say that Berry is just a better Barley; comparable damage, same area control, but can heal teammates.
What are you talking about 😭
Why Angelo? His attacks take so long to charge, and it's not even the strongest attack from a Marksman!
Also, I'd recommend Nani.
@tobybrugh5645 he's always been strong in the meta. Being able to walk over water on of the biggest advantages in the game. And I think that overall he is top three marksmen
@tobybrugh5645 Hes always been an insane marksman with the 4k damage shot which honestly doesn't take that long to load js hit your shot on 2 person and they have to retreat and his versatility with his gadgets give him an escape and a way to kill through walls also he can walk over water overall hes just super versatile as a sniper
@tobybrugh5645Angelo is actually very strong and good.
Surprised belle wasn’t mentioned, probs the most consistent brawler of all time
What about chuck mico and Clancy? 😂
F TIER
Chuck Doug Willow
@hussienshaaban5619 Clancy is Negative F tier
@Nether1teeDoug is mid ( very strong in some maps)
Willow very good A tier brawler
Chuck FFFFF
@hussienshaaban5619 Doug is B tier
There is no vid without Lex playing with crow
New buffie ideas!
Colette:
Gadget buffie:
Her damage gadget will be an aimable projectile with the same exact properties as her normal attack but it'll always deal 2000 damage. Reduces half of enemy ammo at the moment if buffie is owned. Her heal gadget will now fire a medium ranged single projectile which heals her by 40% of enemy health, capped at 5000 hp. Gives herself shield for overheal if buffie is owned.
Star buffie:
Push star power mutes the enemy for 2 seconds
Shield star power heals Colette by 700 hp for landing hits
Hypercharge buffie:
Increases reload speed
Griff buffies:
Gadget buffie:
Piggy bank is now slightly aimable like surge super while exploding at landing like chester bomb super. Buffie makes the piggy bank explode into 12 coins in all directions that are identical to his main attack. Coin shower is now replaced with investment, creating an area which heals teammates by 560 per second until griff attacks which makes the area disappear. If buffie is owned, then the area heals Griff from everywhere.
Star buffie:
Unload star power makes completely missed attacks give 0.4 ammo
Heal star power gives 240 heal per second now, increases by 10 per kill with buffie.
Hyper buffie:
Coin shower gadget for the entire hypercharge duration
Edgar:
Shield gadget -> 20% More damage while shield is active with buffie.
Lets fly -> Creates a smallarea that will charge Edgar's super instantly if he lands there, heals him by 1500 hp if buffie is owned.
Star buffie: Hard landing roots the enemies for 1 second after landing, fisticuffs allows Edgar to heal the extra amount by punching the air
Hyper buffie: Main attack deals extra 1800 damage to full hp brawlers
sybau
Wow
As a gray main, I get your support picks but a pro gray is a menace to go against with that hyper charge and solid damage
Damage Dealers (0:51):
Chester (0:58) is highlighted for his devastating single-target attack, versatile supers (excluding Pop Rocks), and an exceptional hypercharge (1:20). He is both powerful and fun to play.
Tara (1:50) is praised for her powerful hypercharge that can turn games around, and her extremely effective super (2:00). Her "Support from Beyond" gadget (2:21) makes her great for scouting and defense.
Marksmen (2:41):
Bea (2:53) stands out for her super that can slow enemies without needing a gadget (3:08), making her excellent at shutting down tanks (3:23). Her hypercharge further enhances her slowing abilities (4:00).
Janet (4:19) is a versatile marksman with good range and utility (4:24). Her "Drop the Bass" gadget (4:31) is great for scouting, and her super (4:46) offers both escape and aggressive play options, especially with her hypercharge (5:02).
Controllers (5:20):
Gene (5:22) is valued for his utility despite low damage (5:28). He excels as a scouting turret (5:45) and provides good healing (6:04). His super is one of the most impactful in the game (6:16) for pulling enemies.
Griff (6:33) is a dangerous controller with high damage output from his main attack (6:45) and an automatic delete button super (6:47). His hypercharge (6:57) further amplifies damage and allows his super to go through walls. His "Piggy Bank" gadget (7:06) adds utility by destroying walls and knocking back enemies.
Throwers (7:25):
Barley (7:26) offers consistent damage and is easy to land shots with (7:35). He can also provide healing (7:44) or slow enemies with his "Mysterious Liquid" (7:58). His super provides great area control (8:01), and his hypercharge adds a lot of damage (8:05).
Guju (8:18) is extremely versatile with range, damage, and slowing capabilities (8:27). Her gadgets offer shields, speed, or invisibility (8:35). Her super (8:59) and hypercharge (9:04) make her a pseudo-tank, and she can even walk on water (9:10).
Tanks (9:26):
Bull (9:31) is a strong and easy-to-use tank with a powerful new super (9:34). His "Stomper" gadget (9:43) turns his super into a guaranteed kill.
Draco (9:59) starts slow but becomes a "dungeon master" once his super is charged (10:12). His "Last Stand" gadget (10:21) provides crucial invincibility, and his hypercharge (10:35) allows him to burn down enemies from a ridiculous range.
Support (10:55):
Jay Young (10:59) offers both healing and speed to teammates (11:06). He is considered the most versatile and solid support brawler due to his comprehensive kit (11:22).
Byron (11:35) is easier to play and offers superior healing (11:38) with a gadget that triples his main attack's healing (11:41) and an instant 3k healing super (11:47). He can also be played aggressively as a marksman (11:55).
Assassins (12:25):
Cordelius (12:28) is excellent at shutting down brawlers with his super, the "Shadow Realm" (12:40), which is game-changing for both kills and strategic plays (12:51).
Lily (13:05) shares similarities with Cordelius, including a supercharge trait (13:15). Her "Vanish" gadget (13:42) makes her invisible and invincible, making her a high-tier brawler (13:56). Her hypercharge also allows her to enter the shadow realm (14:02).
Honorable Mention (14:07):
Crow (14:15) is highlighted for his consistent poison damage (14:31) and passive ability to decrease enemy healing (14:35) and damage (14:47). His "Carry and Crow" (15:02) and shield make him a strong assassin and a good choice in heist (15:07).
Thank you sooo much
Lou one of the most forgotten brawlers and he’s one of my favourites
Ive stopped playing brawl stars but i wtill watch your videos u should really think about making irl videos they will be entertaining af
angelo is the most consistent bawler ever bro, he has been A tier during the whole time he has existed and never became S tier or anything below A tier
Holy refresh pull
bot
@blazingblazeing no?!
yes?!
Poco back in the early days where he was one of a small amount of healers and his first star power seemed so cool to me
Alli main here. Please change that thumbnail
Real
How many trophies you got in alli
@FangMainWinner211000 right now, 1400 at my peak, during the stranger things event. I have her hypercharge cosmetics pack
My first max out was not crow but as soon as i got him i spend everything in crow he has been 1 of favorite brawlers for a long time
5:30 THE TICK 💀
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Blud usin skull emoji
The first brawler I ever maxed was ironically Spike😭
The first brawler I maxed out was actually El primo
me tooooo
it's still my main (70k masters)
Same bro
@pal.shouvik much love
I really loved that you use pokemon platinum ost
Thanks for the video Lex, I needed it😄😄
Ofc he had to put crow in there...
13:04 Absolute cinema
I think that belle and amber should have been on this list the definition of consistent.
Thanks for this video because its really original and informative!
I liked your video title. I liked the animation combined with Lex's style. I am switching to Lex's channel. Can't wait to watch other videos like top 5 brawlers, useless brawlers etc.
My first maxed out brawler was Darryl as in the beginning playing a tank felt easier. Nice collection you‘ve put together. It will sure enough bring you far in the game. Thanks for sharing Lex.
15:19 BULL🔥. Weird option back then but I didn't have a passion for maxing out brawlers at time compared to now lol
I maxed out edger first... My hands were forced.....
The first brawler I maxed out was either Frank or Leon
I wouldn’t have minded having 3 brawlers of each class, these videos coming from Lex are always very entertaining and informative. Don’t forget to use code Lex when using your gems or when buying stuff at the supercell store, folks!
First one I maxed was Jessie, I've always liked her playstyle
if ur new to brawl stars its not hard to decide who to build, u build whatever rng gives u.
Now number 10 is kicked out because Sirius 💀
Edit:bibi too
15:28 i think it even was Crow or shelly, since i mained those two waaaaay back in the days and crow was my first legendary
Kit is also a good support, its mentioned support for him but you can also use him like an assassin.
Bull is my first max brawler...
Hope life's treating you well, Lex.
I don't usually like your videos. But this was a good video and I enjoyed it with every channel just doing videos on who's the best and buffies. This was good
My first brawler I maxed out was alli, I returned to the game a few months ago and fell in love with Alli's design
15:19 Piper when hypercharges didn't exist. 3 year Piper main right here!!!
As a draco main, Last Stand is not the better gadget. Draco's healing and speed are normally enough to keep him alive, and uppercut just gives you an additional free hit, which is 2/3rds of your super
Amazing and fresh content keep it up Lex!
I think the best mark man is nani
These videos are very useful but my opinion is: improve the brawlers you use the most so you can improve them and as time goes by you will like others and you will improve those too.
15:17
I think bull was my first p9 back when that was a thing
15:25 it was actually frank since it was around the time his hyped released
I think it was fang the first power 11 for me .
