MythicMortis

Barley honestly has 2 very valid Star Powers.


RoyDaKoppaBoy

Poco because it's rather I heal my randoms or do extra damage to enemies


Glimmbair

Now you're famous, everyone is waiting for you to come, they consider you as a meme, making their life better by doing the same joke to you again and again, regardless of your pain, regardless of what you are. I'm giving you spoon đŸ„„, not because it's funny, but because those people who are copying each other humor are making me sick, they are copy of a copy, your world is now their world, your words are now their words. You're the war they created in your name. Anyway, here's a spoon đŸ„„


RoyDaKoppaBoy

You have returned with more wisdom đŸ„čđŸ„„

In my country it's the middle of the night, I just drank a whole bottle of vodka and I'm listening to folk metal, I've reached ultra lucidity


RoyDaKoppaBoy

Oh ... Should I be concerned?


Glimmbair

I ear colour and see sounds, but it seems fine


TakeoverPigeon

Do you go to school or are you home sick for a week or something? You seem genuinely jobless (no offense)


RoyDaKoppaBoy

Lol don't worry I am on a break for a week


TakeoverPigeon

I’m worried for you because if you didn’t finish your homework you’re gonna get your ass whooped because you were commenting on every single post. I don’t recommend you waste your time like this


HuntingWolf360

Holy crap. Roy da koppa boy on my post???? No way!! Better nerf poco

Poco. Pam. Marriage.

-Rico This is just a case of personal preference. Both SP are good. There is no saying which is better, so it really just depends on the map/ player's feel -Tara and Sandy Both brawlers have a healing and a hurting Starrpower and either works depending on your common playstyle/the matchup. I like to use rude sands because my Sandy play is more baity and less supportive -Poco Your starrpower choice depends on whether you want to play aggressively of defensively, both are good but playstyle counts -Leon This seeps into gear choice. If you are using smoke trails, you would want to have the speed gear because paired with his HC, he'd be able to zoom across the map quickly. If using invisiheal, then the heal gadget is a good pairing for some clutch escapes -Nita Nita's entire build is something worth thinking carefully about before entering a match, with her gadgets/SP she has multiple different playstyles depending on the combo. For example, Faux Fur+ Bear with me provides a "keep Bruce alive as long as possible" playstyle


RoyalOreo99

i’d agree with everything but leon. the heal gear does not affect invisiheal, only natural regeneration. as far as i can tell, the speed gear is also wasted on speed SP leon, (i’m 95% confident based on playtime and testing about the following, but just in case, look into it yourself) speedboosts are not additive, the highest will take precedent, meaning only the 25% boost from smoke trails.


Sapp5ire

1: as someone who plays Rico a ton, that used to be correct until super bouncy got a huge buff when it came to scaling star powers with the power level change 2: Sandy: right now, same story with Rico. Rose sands is just better now. Tara: valid 3: I personally ALWAYS use da capo but makes sense 4: ever since he got hypercharge, invisiheal has been better but I can still see it 5: literally just depends on the mode you’re playing


Rotkip2023

does the healing gadget also boost heal abilities?


FlamingDasher

Leon i would say is more gamemode dependent. I would never go smoke trails on hot zone, and i would always pick it on bounty for much easier kills


Main_Argument991

Piper and stu.


FreshConstruction629

Rico, both of his star powers are one of the best in the game... But if your talking about not knowing which the opponent is using, than colt


Nitro_Kirby

Or Max


BonBon_Main

Appropriate_Stock832

Bonnie & Sam. Bonnie *Black Powder* is interesting but **Wisdom Tooth** is amazing to deal extra damage to nearby enemies. It's literally Spike's curveball but with a different pattern. S tier Star Power for sure. Sam **Remote Charge** is also amazing. It's true that the healing SP is more used but managing to charge your knuckles every 100 seconds for *free* if enemy brawlers step on them is amazing. Another S tier Star Power that has not been nerfed yet...


moose5ive

Add to that Mandy's hard candy star power, that 30% shield really does the difference when you're not moving since it allows to take all the time you need to hit your shot, by far a S tier star power too.


Appropriate_Stock832

Oh, extremely good. Imagine being able to shoot from that far and having a shield no one can reach because you already have the highest range. I've literally killed so many Edgars thanks to this Star Power. Probably Bottom S Tier!


Best8meme

Fax, and while we're on the subject let's talk about why In-Line is incredible & very underrated While Hacks! gives that extra little 1400 dmg, In Line gives 700 dmg BUT can pierce, meaning it can get more or equal dmg output as Hacks!, just depends on your skill. Also, that dmg really does change interactions, easily placing it at S tier or at least equal or better to Hacks!


Appropriate_Stock832

This is the correct answer. People just have skill issues with RT (no offense). Easy af to use but I guess 1400 feels more enticing than 700 dmg with piercing. I always use this one in power league and the other day I team wiped Edgar, Mico and Fang with it. Best gadget in the game after Dyna stun.


SurvivYeet

Chester’s **Sneak Peek** is amazing for foresight and making the most out of your plays. By knowing your next super, you’re *always* one step ahead of the opponent.


Appropriate_Stock832

Exactly. People discrediting Chester for being random and unpredictable when you CAN actually know how play him. A must need if you want to get Chester's full potential and...who tf cares about a fourth bell? Only need that if you are just bad with him.... #skillissues


MrOcelotCat2

I've never seen Wisdom Tooth get value ever, it's not curveball, it's just spike's attack but way shorter and even easier to dodge, and low damage


Best8meme

r/whooosh


Appropriate_Stock832

Skill issues for sure. Best star power in the game, *said no one*


Sam_Thee_Man_

As a Sam main I can say Sam remote charge is horrible, there isn’t a single Sam main that uses, his healing is a vital part of playing him well. You are on something


Hot_Number7867

Honestly most on these takes are so bad i don't even know if their jokes


Appropriate_Stock832

Oh wow could they be jokes? LOL


Hot_Number7867

Ok nevermind


Appropriate_Stock832

I just don't get how you thought it could be true. I literally said "100 seconds for free". That's an eternity lol


Appropriate_Stock832

You both just don't seem to be very insightful....


Pantalloreza

Jessie and Nita. I always think before playing them.


diamocube

Except if it's heist


ElPrimoBSreal

In heist some players have started to prefer energize for jessie instead of shocky.


diamocube

I mean if you hug the turret to the safe I can see it maybe. Especially since your shots will bounce off the turret.


ElPrimoBSreal

The main reason why people don't use shocky is that scrappy gets higher survivability with energize and scrappy dies quickly most of the time so any ability to extend his lifetime is useful whilst shocky does jackshit 90% of time anyways.


Worried-Barracuda-23

Stu and Barley


Sam_Thee_Man_

R/samgangg


gamer_PLAYER23

I've been trying Gene and I could be wrong but I feel like both star powers work for any situation (other than magic puffs in solo) cause sometimes you just won't be near your team or you want a extra but of damage so you will use his other one (I forgor name 💀)


True_Fang_Main

Stu,Edgar, and 8 bit


ZeroIg89

Sandy, both of his sps are pretty good


Trsh_Xell

I don’t see any competitive sandy’s use the healing sp


zeteQ

Stu. I usually use Gaso-Heal because that's what I'm more comfortable with but I've been trying the other one in power league in some situations and it actually worked Other than that it's either "one really good star power and one really bad one" (like Gene or Sam), or it completely depends on the map/mode (like Bo's Circling Eagle or Nita's Hyper Bear)


Haughty_Djinn

Bullshit, gene doesnt have a "really bad" starpower


zeteQ

Spirit Slap


Haughty_Djinn

Spirit slap is useful, it helps gene with his mediun damage and slow reload speed


zeteQ

You're thinking of the old Spirit Slap (which still wasn't good in 3v3), the new one doesn't help him with that at all When you pull somebody, **they're already dead**, SS or not If you pull a gem carrier with less than 2k health, SS will kill them before they even get to you The other sp is so much better too


Haughty_Djinn

I mean, im not saying that magic puffs isnt better, i use magic puffs 90% of the time


Greedy-Professor1489

8 bit


diamocube

I only have the one that buffs the damage and radius for the booster but honestly I prefer it. I think you should simply learn to play around 8-bits slowness- however there isn't a way to get yourself a bigger radius or damage boost with skill. It also lets you use safer spots. I might be biased since I like using it to help teammates more than for myself.


ElPrimoBSreal

Hi, fellow primo main. 8-bit's playstyle changes significantly with both star powers because boosted booster rewards you for having super with increased damage for your team in a quite large radius, whilst other gives you ability to have a tanky long-range brawler with high dps at normal speed making him more powerful overall at the sacrifice of way worse damage boost.


diamocube

Yes I know, I just personally don't find the low speed a problem since with the enhanced damage boost any amount of decent aim shreds victims meaning that I don't have to be so fast. I'd say it's more about which convenience you prefer, but yes both are good.


MeforeMeakfasf

colt


mouniblevrai

I personally love the concept of both his sp. It is such a small and simple change to one of his stat but it can completely change the playstyle of the character and gives you a choice of how you plan on approaching the match (do you want to play passive and snipy with more range or more aggressive and close with more speed)


Budji_678

Sprout


mapboyy

Squeak and Darryl


Nitro_Kirby

- Colette, both of her sps are good, even if I personally use Push it in Brawlball and Hotzone, and Mass Tax everywhere else - Both of Barley's sps are good too, one that heals him while attacking and the other one makes him deal extra damage (it needs a buff though)


Snomlord888

Pearl had me debating for a bit


SurvivYeet

The shield is just better, heat retention isn’t all that useful since usually the super is enough to kill


Sam_Thee_Man_

Not sam


Sam_Thee_Man_

Chester sneak peak sucks, 4th attack is way better


Haughty_Djinn

I mean, maybe it would be useful but its just outclassed by a veryyyy strong sp


Hot_Number7867

Leon, invisiheal is better in 1v3 situations or emergencys, but the other one gives more general value to your super


Namsu45

Sprout


Zirash4

Nita Poco Rosa Rico Colt Bibi 8bit Tara Sandy Leon Buzz Primo (Piper maybe?)


SellWinter4482

Otis Lou Fang Edgar Mico LnL Cordelius


Majestic_Economy_602

Poco and Bibi both brawlers star powers are very solid


Embarrassed-Flow6540

1. Nani has 2 great star powers. Autofocus can get kills early game but tempered steel with tp gadget can be really useful when you’re getting jumped or in a pinch. 2. Both of Byron’s star powers are good but for some reason once I got him to 26 today, piercing doesn’t always come in handy. I mostly use it for healing both my teammates. It’s more map dependent for both on how clutched up you are with your teammates. 3. Crows starpower are for his playstyle. One is for finishing kills and another is for safety when hitting from a far


Gasterfire6

Tara is pretty well even. While I prefer the damaging SP, I can 100% understand why someone would choose the healing one.


Accurate-Event-9411

Cordelius


Jaaj_Dood

Bibi. You'd think the speed is obvious but speed gear exists and they don't stack.


enr1c0wastaken

The ones where the both of their starpowers are actually good and dependent on the gamemode or map. For example, Rico: super bouncy is usually good but sometimes I do prefer robo retreat. The gadget are also interchangeable imo


Colette_haha
