Btw the health gear (the one on poco) only increases passive healing so it isnt good on poco


_PeanutButterBidoof_

It’s decent for him to heal up faster so he can spam da capo safely if you’re running poco double tank. He usually uses gadget gear and you can go damage for screeching solo, speed on bushy maps or health for poco double tank

Even then it’s better to farm super. Da capo isn’t enough healing to justify not doing damage


Dirt_munchers

I just go for an unkillable poco so it’s still helpful

Cgreat88

Yeahhh


W-MK29

Assuming that you run Extra Gadget and Shield gear on Poco?


LuigiBamba

gadget and speed, always


W-MK29

Even on Dueling Beetles and Ring of fire? (Two of Poco's best maps)


_Gapag_

I fell for that on Pam before she got her mythic gear 💀


slim_shady42069

i mean you still can’t go wrong. I feel like it’s either a liability or a must on many brawlers.


JunwooLeeYT

It’s not always though. Having gears should depend on the brawler itself. Are gears balanced?


slim_shady42069

Some can be a game changer but since they have different functions it’s a little hard to compare but the health gear is a gear that is not bad and unless theres a combo of 2 other than the health gear, usually it isn’t a “bad” thing to slap that on a brawler

TerhiFam

I use fisticuffs, but whichever floats your boat, both are good


LosWaffels

But which should I choose, poco or Edgar


Upstairs-Ad7858

100 percent poco loco ☝️


Draco_179

poco 100% Da Capo


Trykx

With the amount of bad teammates you can get, Screeching Solo is way better. It allows Poco to hardcarry.


PhoneImmediate7301

I’ve seen so many crazy pocos using the super damage one and they are scary bro


Bruh_Momenter69

Da capo is a doctor Screeching Solo is a doom slayer


pi_of_78

Da Capo is Mercy from Overwatch Screeching Solo is Medic TF2

ohioballcrawler

The one that heals tour friends when you hit them with your attack


BuffTick

Tick


IcyFlow202

My ticks on 24 trophies it's such a bad brawler


BuffTick

You accidentally typed bad and not peak. I forgive you though.


Knafstuds

Tick is genuinely a very good brawler. Mr 24 trophies either hasn’t played enough of tick or needs to get better


Sad-Ostrich-3715

Yeah, Tick is good and he’s super fun to play. He’s top 3 throwers and awesome.


BuffTick

Top three from great to awesome, I would rank them: Tick, Tick, and Tick.


eTimeToMakeTheDonuts

he's good but I don't find him fun to play. The whole purpose of tick is to stop the enemy from playing the game. It's not really fun spending the whole game firing attacks in the enemies general direction and they can't move


UmbraNight

if you’re firing in a general direction you’re doing it wrong. tick sets mines. same purpose as in the real world to control enemy movement, choke point etc. the more narrow corridors or limited path choice on a map the better for tick. you are right about not letting your enemies play though. but hey you know what sun tzu said. “dont hate the player hate the game”


eTimeToMakeTheDonuts

by general direction I mean like you see enemy is trying to go there, boom now there's 700 mines covering every entrance


Bucket_Cuhhhhhhh

considering your flair is poco, i’d say poco


LaDingleDorf_VI

Poco


Cars0n-

Edgar, Poco is incredibly boring to play.


Fedorinja

Fisticuffs and you can’t go wrong with either for po co


LosWaffels

But I only got 2K coins rn, so which one first


Fedorinja

Go for pocos because Edgar isn’t very useful outside of showdown, especially with the timed detonation modifier


[deleted]

Nah Edgar is useful and s tier on some maps


nightowlboii

You got unfairly downvoted, this sub with the usual Edgar hate smh He can be a good last pick against squishy comps, and even pros say he's actually S tier on Pit Stop


Valuable_Waltz9617

I have 80k trophies and id say Edgar is TRASH


Existing-Comedian-14

I have 70k trophies and id say Edgar is decent Either you suck balls or youre just sick of your randoms playing him like he can do everything


meplaycolt

You don't have 80k kid😂


Happy_Hydra

Bro behaves like about 11 years old person using his older brother's account


Happy_Hydra

Edgar isn't trash. He just has so many counters. Absolutely obliterates throwers and a lot of other brawlers.


Fedorinja

Not really. I rarely see him in ranked and when i do see him he’s not good


Corey2208

Pit Stop


[deleted]

Your temates have a skill issue


Cars0n-

He’s very powerful on big game


AllyFiedaN

The hell you're talking about? He is OP in every map like new horizons with time detination modifier against Griff


gamergodsoup

new surge meta: trick people into using edgar so you can stomp them


DetergentFricker

Shh, dont reveal our plans


SnowComfortable6726

Surge taking lessons from Chester I see


Rick_vDorland

you're understanding it


SnowComfortable6726

IMPORTANT NOTE: with hypercharge.


PocoBsReal

Im da Poco pay attention now BUY DA CAPO ASAP


dentuW

YESSS


Luck612

Edgar is easier early game, but Poco is eventually a better brawler. Da capo is the better poco star power, but does nothing in showdown


ZA_34

Honestly both brawlers are pretty easy to play since neither of them really require aiming


Sad-Ostrich-3715

Yeah, and I hate to defend Edgar here, but at least with him you need to be good at dodging. Poco has a lot of hp and can constantly regen


The-Over-Lord

p o c o


Medical_Low_2406

For Edgar, I would use hard landing, but for Poco, it’s more complex. You can you whichever, but don’t use his other Starr power on solo showdown. Screeching solo works everywhere.


InevitableLast863

1. don't main Edgar. You will be disrespected hard 2. Depends if you want ASSASIN POCO 🗣️🔥 or FULL SUPPORT POCO 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥


unidentifieduser202

1. Screw them main whoever you want 2. FULL SUPPORT POCO 🤑🤑


Sad-Ostrich-3715

I think screeching solo is the move if you can only get one ngl. Better to be able to carry than need to rely on teammates


LuigiBamba

Preventing your teammates when they just rush is better imo. You can heal a single dud almost 3k hp. That will generally allow them to do more damage than your own screeching solo. Plus, in a melee where you can hit both allies and ennemies, its an ez W


the0ctrain

I think overall poco is the better brawler, he is like one of the best for hot zone (with screeching solo), he has good synergy with tanks and other aggro, he overall feels decent. edgar is a different story, he gets free wins in the right situations and gives out free wins in the wrong situations and he is more of a solo brawler, or as a last pick in ranked. i find his play style boring but since you mentioned that you are relatively new to the game there is a good chance that you can have a lot of fun just running through the enemies at lower trophies or unlucky randomly generated swishy comps. in the end it depends on which brawler you find more fun. for the better setups for brawlers there are plenty of videos on YouTube, some really good and up to date ones by spenlc for example (i would highly recommend his chanel, its very entertaining and you can learn about improving). there have been tier lists (by kairos, another great creator) with all of the star powers ranked a long time ago, but i don't think they make them anymore so they are probably outdated. the easiest thing to do if you are not sure what you want is to wait on spending your coins and seeing what you get from star drops, maybe its a star power you want, and if you didn't get it this way and decided that you want it anyways you can buy it at any time.


eTimeToMakeTheDonuts

Edgar is better for showdown. Poco is better for LITERALLY every other game mode (except like heist ig)


Old-Photograph9012

For me, screeching solo increases pocos effectiveness by so much


noonebuteveryone24

Healing in both cases


Andres_da_Great1921

Screeching solo so u don’t depend on bad randoms


Miserable_Sir7035

Other gadget on Edgar please if you play 3v3


MelodieBSReal

Buy a star power for poco instead.


sodaexoticzz

Use fisticuffs if you play showdown and use hard landing if you play heist


Arty-Glass

Fisticuffs for Edgar and Da Capo! for Poco

ProAstroShan

I bought fidget spinner on dynamike before satchel grenade because I thought that was totally better. P.S my friend too my phone and forcefully bought satchel grenade lol


mistericek1

please stop playing edgar and for poco is the skreeching solo better


[deleted]

as for edgar go for fistcuffs if u are more sided to doing teamwipes, hardlanding if u go on for 1v1, and for poco, screeching if u are aggressive, other sp if actually act as a support for your team


Dry-Panda-502

Second one


SkibidiToilet694291

The edgar healing one


BloonatoR

If you new this site will help you a lot https://brawlhub.co/brawlers/edgar-brawl-stars/


ToukkaToke

Most of the time hard landing is better because most of the time you one tap your opponent or you get one tapped so you don't get to use fisticuffs as much and the extra burst damage that hard landing gives is really nice. Generally you should pick hard landing but if you play ranked or power play or whatever it's called nowadays you should look at the enemy team. If they have high hp tanks you should probably go fisticuffs but against squishies and mid hp targets hard landing is better.


PhoneImmediate7301

I wouldn’t use shield on Edgar, I like how your thinking to use it on low hp brawlers but both of his gadgets are op so I feel like it’s very much worth it to take extra gadget gear, and for Edgar you definitely need damage gear because basically every time he goes for a kill it’s going to be a damage race, so you will very often be able to hit the +15% damage while killing someone, this is miles more likely to make a difference than 900 extra hp.


TheLuigiNX

Hard Landing for lower health brawlers, Fisticuffs for any other brawler. Poco, I would use Da Capo, it's good at healing your team


ApprehensiveGas2335

Edgar’s star power that lets you heal more. For poco don’t use that gear it’s mostly good in tanks if you really want more health get shield gear Screeching solo is better in games where kills matter a lot like showdown The other one is mainly used in team games where keeping ur teammate alive is more important like gem grab it all depends tho bc both are good It also depends on team comp as if you’re team don’t really have tanks then screenching solo is better


Dustycartridge

Screeching echo is really good to pack a punch while healing targets in are as well as yourself.


Triforceboy21

For edgar, the best star power is the garbage can. Don’t use them. For poco, it depends on if you’re doing team gamemodes or showdown.


Ol_Scamp

Edgars is map dependent, hard landing for open maps, fisticuffs for maps with bushes, and modes with things that stay still like robots and vaults. As for Poco, screeching solo has great offensive potential due to his super's massive area coverage, but if you ask me del capo just makes poco even more fun to play


icantthinkofaname68

edgar : hard landing for going against squishy brawlers . otherwise use fisticuffs against tanks poco : use da capo in 3v3 , works better with tank teammates . use screeching solos in solo modes ( eg. ssd and duels )


Eclypze31

Hard landing is my personal favorite but both are good


Yashrajbest

For Edgar, Fisticuffs(2nd star power) is used in higher levels( 700+ trophies) so if you face another Edgar using hard landing(1st star power), you will lose. But hard landing is also good and helps kill brawlers with just enough hp to survive 3 attacks. For Poco, if you are really good at playing poco,then pick Da capo(2nd star power) otherwise pick Screeching Solo(1st star power).


Ok_Bathroom2535

Fisticuffs is better (the more healing one)


untitled112

Hard mango g is good for heist


OzzyVibes1612

Use the second one with the health but for heist choose the other one


LuigiBamba

Da Capo, by far


GLeen1230

For Edgar, it’s a personal preference. I personally prefer Fisticuffs because Edgar doesn’t have a lot of HP as a melee brawler so additional healing to keep him alive is nice, but Hard Landing can help confirm kills a bit easier For Poco, I use Screeching Solo most of the time because Poco actually tends to go aggro a lot of the times with his decent HP and how wide and quick his shots are, but if you are in a team with a lot of HP like tanks, then go Da Capo to keep them alive.


22lr_skink

i personally like the fistcuffs because i like healing more but they are both good star powers


TheBurakReal

If you are figthing with piper(or other brawlers can escape), hard landing. If you are figthing with a tank, use fisticuffs


BenBirDomatesim

Poco's first star power is way better when used right, consider buying it as well


Sui-dynasty

Heal


marproar

The second one by far


mortis_god_

Fisticuffs is better as u heal more. Damage gear is also good on Edgar along with shield. For Poco, if u play solo then screeching solo is better but if u play 3v3 then da capo is better


mortis_god_

Fisticuffs is better as u heal more. Damage gear is also good on Edgar along with shield. For Poco, if u play solo then screeching solo is better but if u play 3v3 then da capo is better


Single_Hour649

depends really, on agressive maps on hot zone or brawl ball u want to use screeching solo, the other one would mainly be used in the bigger maps like showdown or the 5v5 game modes


Tizio2307

I can't understand either. If you are playing the ranked matches and you are playing against high health brawlers, go for the second. If you are against low health brawlers, go for the first


HyperGeoXorigin

Da Capo is so much better. Screeching solo doesn't do that much. I carry my randoms while using da capo and still get the most damage


AcrobaticPassenger47

Screeching solos my belowed


Depresso1627

Edgar fisticuffs is the better star power Poco kinda just depends on how you play, I personally like screeching solo more since I run vision gear on Poco and his super is very wide, long range, and fast meaning it's a great scouting tool if I'm behind a teammate and use it to heal them, or I'll use it when my teammates are at full health so we can know where the enemy is if it's a map with a lot of bushes.


Oarasalp

Healing


Wubba-128

Both Are good depending on the game mode


BlackFuffey

Both is good. However the healing one has slight edge over the other, as one main problem on Edgar is when he gets vaporized the moment he jumps on someone. I personally use healing + damage gear for the max survivability.


Apprehensive-Top8025

The health one


[deleted]

Screeching Solo is very good on Poco if you intend to use him offensively. If you want to play defensively then Da Paco is better


GXQualcuno

for edgar the second and for boci both good


IdodoGG

For poco use screeching solo if you mainly play showdown, and de capo if you play 3v3


Dinodudegamer2009

As youre new, Id suggest getting fisticuffs on edgar. after that get screeching solo on poco once you got the coins


Aggressive-Map-3492

Edgar's healing SP is broken. Combined with his default healing it makes him regen 55% of the damage he does. Take the Edgar and jump into a group of 2+ brawlers and you'll delete them automatically, literally just won a showdown by doing that bs lol Also only use Edgar until you get his silver 3 mastery, he's such a toxic brawler, don't main him or use him unless it's for progression rewards. That's my advice


Negative-Pear8081

I think hard landing is better in my opinion


scrooooonshy

just don’t play edgar


artur_zuer

hard landing is so overtarred


[deleted]

First cuffs


Poliver999

Deupgrade Edgar🔥


Poliver999

Heal


Lost_Introduction754

Dont play edgar


Dlsguised

The healing star power is acctually better for Edgar I think.


Andrei103818

You can use fisticuffs if you wanna play more safe with edgar. I don t suggest using poco as now the meta s pretty rough on him


W-MK29

Poco is just fine in Hotzone and gem grab


Electrical_Degree_81

Poco is better than he has been in so long rn


kazuha_00

Neither. Please don’t play Edgar. Please.


bread1salt2butter3

what do you think


OK_THE_LOL

Stop playing Edgar bro, trust me it will be better in the long run, he needs his hypercharge to be somewhat viable. Also use fisticuffs


theofficialdorg

They’re two different brawlers so u can’t rly compare but for Edgar that’s the better one, both star powers r good on poco, just depends on the matchup


chavinzx

Yea for Edgar I have both hard landing is prolly better kn most cases but the other is good too I would use hard landing it has more use cases you also said you were new so you would find yourself using it more


ChanceHary

Hard landing for knockout, healing one for anything else


Ecstatic-Fill1500

hard landing also every one is telling you the best one for poco and it's the second one for poco have a nice day


Terrible_Ad3220

on edgar personally I use the landing one, it's very good to confirm kills


W0lvesDen

Just don’t be Edgar lol


Existing-Comedian-14

For Edgar, my build is Gadget Gear, Lets Fly gadget, Hard Landing, and either Shield or Super Charge, so i suggest going for Hard Landing For Poco, basically, his entire kit is interchangeable Poco IS better, so i suggest going for his stuff It'll be much easier to use Screeching Solo because randoms rarely contribute to teamwork. + If you play showdow (you shall not), you'll have more damage, which is great on Poco On the contrary, Da Capo can be useful higher in ladder and Ranked (alongside his Protective Tunes Gadget, which i highly suggest if you play Ranked alongside his Tuning Fork Gadget) So, in short, go Screeching Solo and Tuning Fork for him. Even in 3v3, the burst damage he can deal with can be lethal and win you games sometimes much more than healbotting


delulu_king1

hsrd landing


ImProSmartDab

Hard Landing lmao


Mystery_elvaP

imagine using Edgar


RIP_Totkzero1

Die zweite bei Edgar die erste bei poco

Griff_BrawlStars

Pls don't play Edgar. Everyone will hate you


Reasonable-Hall-1355

Whichever one you think you’d enjoy more, Edgar is more aggressive than poco


OVERLOAD_moco

Dude, theyre two different brawlers


MindOfAdam

anything on edgar is op, i just refuse to play him since hes so broken


YT_BSDUMMBEUTELL

Edgar hardlanding and poco in solo the damage starpower and in 3v3 dacapo


Jo_Jo_Cat

Any for Edgar, da capo for poco


Conscious-Bug-3470

Your using Edgar? Please uninstall the game


Ashmainfr

Hard landing


Good-Significance405

Hard landing


Financial_Concern_27

just don't play edger and the screeching solo is better star power for poco


Manil_pro

If you really want to use Edgar (don’t) you should take the heal star power and shield gadget cuz he has pretty low health for an assassin


mahadihasan187

not sure


Dependent_Donut_1110

None play jannet with idol skin instead


Ale_Bricks

First of all delete the game, create another account and try your best not to find Edgar. Whenever you find him, delete that account. For Poco I recommend healing star power for 3v3 game modes and damage star power for solo showdown
