The best Brawl Stars Legendary characters

Despite its cutesy outward appearance, Brawl Stars is a deeply challenging game, and character choice can mean the difference between win and defeat in a Showdown. If you think you're ready for some more difficult characters to try, this guide will clue you in on five terrific choices.

Each of these brawlers has a powerful arsenal of attacks and a game-changing super move. They have some weaknesses that need to be worked around, but they can be some of the best brawlers in the entire game. Choosing one of these five brawlers could be the bump you need to hit the top of the Brawl Stars food chain.

Crow is a Legendary Brawler and his ability to inflict poison damage over time by reducing the opponent's ability to heal, makes him a great choice for Gem Grab and Showdown matches. Taking Crow into battle can be risky, as his health is noticeably lower than other Assassins. But his fast mobility helps him run away from enemies quickly. Just don't get in anyone's face, or it won't end well.

Surge is a Damage Dealer, best made with a partner who can keep him alive while he charges his super attacks. If he's able to stick around for three super activations, he becomes a tour-de-force thanks to his increased speed, range, and the numbers of blasts per regular attack increasing from two to six. This will all reset if Surge falls, so be sure to stay alive if you're using him.

Leon’s attack power increases at close range, but his health and defense leave a lot to be desired, opening him up for easy eliminations. His super, however, takes this risk off the table by turning him invisible to enemies for a short period of time – or until he attacks. Use the super, close in, and hit the enemy with a barrage of blades, and Leon will make quick work of them.

Half dragon rider and half rock star, Draco is bursting with personality, and that enthusiasm is infectious in the heat of battle. His super may be one of the best in the game, as he mounts his trusty dragon and delivers a fiery flurry to nearby enemies. The increase in speed while he’s on the dragon makes Draco one of the more mobile tanks on the Brawl Stars roster.

Cordelius is unique and one of the best Brawlers in the game. He's obsessed with mushrooms according to his in-game bio, and that love for fungi makes him a fun guy to bring onto the Brawl Stars battlefield. His standard mushroom attack deals decent damage at a quick pace, while his super allows him to send one of his opponents into the Shadow Realm, where he holds a distinct advantage.
