the best brawl in brawl stars duel

I researched the best brawl in Brawl Stars Duels by examining various sources, including Reddit discussions, web articles, and a YouTube video. The sources contained recommendations for different brawlers and their effectiveness in duels. Some sources agreed on certain brawlers being strong in duels, while others provided varying opinions on the matter. Overall, there was a reasonable consensus on some brawlers, but opinions varied depending on the map and team composition.

Stu

Stu is frequently mentioned as a good character to use in Duels. He is recommended as the first pick for Shrouding Serpent, Duelists Destiny, and Danger Chambers maps due to his scouting abilities and effectiveness against opponents.
Crow

Crow

Crow is considered a solid counter to Gale and is mentioned as a strong pick for duels. He also appears in the A tier of a Reddit user's duels tier list.
Piper

Piper

Piper is recommended for the No Surrender map, where she dominates the mid with her high damage potential and auto-aimer gadget. She has also been mentioned as a strong pick by several Reddit users.
Gale

Gale

Gale is useful for countering short-range aggressive brawlers and can be effective in Duels. His freezing snow star power is helpful for chipping down opponents.
Darryl

Darryl

Darryl is considered a well-rounded brawler and a fine first pick for Duels. He can deal with both tanks and longer-range brawlers effectively.

Other Brawlers

Other brawlers, such as Leon, Gene, Tara, and Rosa, were also mentioned as strong picks for specific maps and situations. For example, Leon's invisibility and range make him effective in Duels. Additionally, Mortis was mentioned as a poor option for duels, while Edgar was considered strong against certain team compositions. It is important to note that the success of a Duel trio also depends on the map used and the enemies faced. Players might need to adjust their brawler choices based on the specific map and opponent they are facing.

  • Duels:
    • An event mode in Brawl Stars.
    • Two players each choose a brawler from a trio of brawlers
    • Objective: defeat all of your opponent’s 3 brawlers in a series of rounds.
    • If your brawler defeats an opponent’s brawler, they move on to face another brawler.
    • Game ends in a draw if both players’ third brawlers are defeated at the same time.
    • Poison gas serves as a tiebreaker for whoever survives first.
    • Gadget charges and supers (except for Meg’s mecha super) carry from brawler to brawler.
    • Brawlers gain and lose roughly 1/3rd of the trophies gained in a 3v3 event.
    • Tips:
      • Pick brawlers who can charge their supers quickly at the beginning of the match
      • Brawlers with high burst damage and the ability to quickly get up close to enemies are great.
      • Counter these brawlers with abilities that provide slows, stuns, or other defensive abilities.
      • For second and third brawlers, pick brawlers with high-damaging supers, supers that can provide pulls or knockbacks, or brawlers that have a super with great self-utility.
      • If facing an opponent you are certain you will lose to, save your super or gadget for the next round instead of wasting it.
      • When creating a brawler composition, make sure your second and third brawlers counter most brawlers the previous brawler will lose against.
      • Try not to pick throwers especially on open maps, as they can easily be countered by assassins.
    • Useful brawlers:
      • Darryl: Well-rounded brawler; fine first pick; can deal with tanks and longer-range brawlers.
      • Gale: Good for countering short-range aggressive brawlers; freezing snow star power is useful for chipping down opponents.
      • Leon: Invisibility and range make taking out enemies easy.
      • Tara: Attack range allows slow chipping of enemy brawler; super can keep them from attacking.
      • Stu: High burst damage potential; great mobility with his super.
      • Piper: Good for open maps; homemade recipe gadget aids in hitting attacks.
      • Crow: Crow’s poison can pressure enemies.
      • Edgar: A huge advantage due to his trait; does a lot of damage; both gadgets helpful in duels.
      • Sam: Trait gives big advantage by starting with his super charged.
