Brawl Stars’ S Tier brawlers work for almost any mode thanks to their versatile abilities. For example, Buzz with a Hypercharge can be an absolute beast, allowing you to take down opponents with a few hits. Melodie has also become a fan-favorite amongst the brawlers due to her high damage rates and speedy movements. 

Based on my own experience, Nita is my favorite Brawl Stars character to use. Her teddy bear can annilate players on the field instantly. Using both your attacks and her NPC helps increase attack damage.

On the other hand, the Brawl Stars B Tier is hit-or-miss. While they can be vital in some modes, the fighters are significantly weak in different variations. You can see that with characters like Mico, who primarily excels in Knockout but not much else. These characters have also received more impactful de-buffs, even worse than A Tier.

The C Tier may be the one you want to avoid altogether. They just don’t really do much attack-wise, and they can be challenging to maneuver on the field.
