🏆 Top 10 Best Brawlers 2026
The February 2026 Update has fundamentally changed Brawl Stars: with the 100th Brawler Sirius and the 101st Brawler Najia, the new Prestige system, and reworked Buffies, the meta has reshuffled. Here are the Top 10 strongest Brawlers – and what that means for the Brawl Mystery quiz.
S-Tier – The Strongest Brawlers
The milestone Brawler. Sirius collects "shadows" of fallen enemies and unleashes them with his Super. At the right moment, 3 shadows can force a complete team reversal. Especially strong in objective-based modes. In Brawl Mystery: dark/black-purple colour palette, release year 2026, Ultra Legendary.
Amber has been one of the strongest Legendaries for years. Her fire lines control large map areas and force enemies to move. Hard to counter without a direct counter-pick. In the quiz: orange/red design, Legendary, 2020.
Cordelius's Super isolates one enemy in a shadow realm – 1-on-1 with no help from teammates. He decides team fights by eliminating key players. In the quiz: mushroom abilities, Legendary, 2023.
A-Tier – Very Strong Brawlers
Fresh addition: Najia hurls poisoning snakes and generates stacking damage over time. Extremely effective against high-HP Brawlers. Her Gadget fills key map zones with poison pools. In the quiz: sandy/beige, Mythic, 2026.
Sandy falls asleep mid-fight and turns his team invisible with his Super – one of the strongest team abilities in the game. Indispensable in Gem Grab and Hot Zone. In the quiz: blue/light brown, Legendary, 2019, Controller.
Tara's Super (black hole) pulls all nearby enemies in – perfect for team fights. With her second ability (ghost support) she's viable across many modes. In the quiz: purple/dark, Mythic, Controller, 2017.
Max gives the whole team a speed boost with her Super – this changes entire team fights. Her attacks are fast with good range. In the quiz: pink/purple, Mythic, Support, 2019.
Buzz's Super throws a hook at enemies – perfect initiation for teams. Combined with high HP he's a threatening front-liner. In the quiz: blue/teal, Epic, 2021.
B-Tier – Situationally Strong
Piper is devastating on open maps – at maximum range she deals gigantic damage. On tight maps she falls off. In the quiz: light violet/pink, Epic, Marksman, 2017.
Leon's Super makes him invisible – perfect for surprise attacks. Since the Buffie system he's gained consistency. In the quiz: green/teal, Legendary, Assassin, 2018.
What changes with the Prestige system?
The new Prestige system (from 1,000 trophies onwards) indirectly shifts the meta: since players now spend longer at Prestige level, strong Brawlers are picked more often. S-Tier Brawlers like Sirius and Cordelius become even more relevant.
For Brawl Mystery this means: new top Brawlers will appear more frequently as daily puzzles. Learn their attributes, colours and lore well!
