20 Useless Gadgets in Brawl Stars 

3:11 multiball launcher is really good. I use it when the brawler is very close to me. It can defeat even Mandy at once

I thought Ash’s gadget would be on this list because 40% HEALTH LOST ON ASH IS HORRIBLE

Hey, Otis' Dormant Star can actually be utilised in Safe Zone in Heist, you put it in that 2x2 tiles space, so if the enemy rushes the safe, he cannot do anything for 3 seconds. Also don't forget the burning ball cheese.

Dormant star is actually really good. It means u can never really miss your super, as it basically acts as a landmine if you miss your super. Plus, if you aim it into the middle of a tight corridor, you can just wait for people to walk near if and kill them. It’s literally busted in duels sometimes, because you’re always gonna be focusing one dude anyway. Yeah, it’s pretty mid on open maps, but maps like cavern churn just let you grief people

I absolutely disagree with Darryl's gadget. It helps soo much in heist as he can get most of his superback by the gadget and charge up the remaining with his passive to go full aggressive right after. The slow radius is extremely small and he kills most of his targets anyway without it... Also Bo's gadget is also very insane because most times enemies that try to defuse the mines will activate one mine, go back, then go for another. When they go for the other you activate the gadget and get a free kill...

soul switcher should be replaced by a gadget that allows gus to spawn a spirit where he is standing, and that would make gus have both have a defense gadget and an offense gadget. That way you could play totally agressive (kooky popper + spirit animal) and totally passive (new soul switcher + health bonanza) EDIT: sorry for my bad english

With Protective Tunes, I wouldnt exactly call it bad but I'd agree with "Situational". Its the type of gadget that you would use to counter pick in powerleague.

For me i love using candy beans when im low since 2/4 things your gonna get is gonna help you run away or heal which is nice

Vengeful Spirits would already be considerably better if it passes through walls. I mean,they're spirits,damn it!

The dormant star gadget is good for those gem grab maps with little hole entrances so you can just put them there also you can use that gadget before you use the super in long range so if you miss at least you don’t have a wasted super.

Darryl's one is actually pretty good in my opinion. It's hard to hit from far away, but you're supposed to use it in mid-range to charge your super, and not for damage It's not the greatest, but I don't think it's that bad either Also, Bo's 2nd gadget makes the mines not flash until they explode. So they won't notice it But it's understandable, since finding 20 useless gadgets for a video is not easy. Great video though

0:32 I think this is a gadget that you can use for a lane fight. Looking at the buffs it's a gadget that benefits more in 1v1 interactions. The speed and healing is more for surviving like a ranged brawler or a mid range Brawler. And the damage and reload speed works for going aggressive and finish off the opponent either from a distance or close range. So it's very situational but not completely worthless.

I would say another bad gadget is primo's meteor one. i know its not completely useless, but it doesnt seem to do much apart from in some extremely niche situations. His other gadget isn't the best, but it can be useful in modes like solo sd, and brawl ball.

I think Cron-Fu is a great gadget to check in bushes on bushy maps since Fang has a really narrow main attack if it goes further and on maps like X marks the spot it can make a huge death-being alive difference

I really don’t want Poco’s Protective Tunes to get reworked; I think it’s one of the smartest gadgets for power league. Poco’s biggest counter is Crow because of the Healing reduction, and that gadget lets him counter Crow in return (and counter Slowing Toxin). Maybe a slight duration increase or the ability to use it while stunned would be neat, but pros do use it a lot, since Crow would make the other gadget kinda pointless Ofc I’d never use it in ladder or if the enemy isn’t using Crow (or Lou or another debuff brawler), but considering how draft works, it’s very good to complete Poco’s kit I’d probably say that Penny’s extra cannon shot should be on this list? The barrel lets her destroy tanks (or anyone at close range, which can be great in Hot Zone), while the other one only gives you slightly more area control for a couple seconds. It’s not that bad tbh, but the barrel is way better

3:10 Wow, I actually forgot how bad multi ball launcher used to be it went from probably one of the worst gadgets in the game to one of the best gadgets in the game

4:00 I disagree with the Darryl gadget as it is very VERY useful for Heist and many other gamemodes. U can basically stack super or deal a lot of dmg on heist safe. The main thing about Darryl is his super, thus almost instantly charging his super is a REALLY OP factor. BRO TRIPWIRE IS UNDERRATED. U can literally TURN THE TABLES of a Gem Grab match or a Bounty game. It goes extremely well with the stun star power as no one would expect it. Vengeful spirits Gene gadget is actually great for long range maps like Shooting star or Layer Cake for Bounty.

The multiball launcher is actually good, you can defeat brawlers like lily, Edgar, bibi, etc.

I've used dormant star several times in duels by making my enemy think i just missed my normal super and then making them walk into it. It's a really niche use scenario, but it's so funny when it works.

You know its a good day when nubbz uploads

Rico's 1st gadget is so useful if there are walls and an enemy near you. Its so strong

Shelly’s fast forward used to be decent back in the day before they nerfed the dash speed.

dancing flames should be reworked to be a homing hability where amber keeps the same flames until an enemy enters a certain radio around her and one of the flames follows the enemy and they can't escape the damage it doesn't matter if they jump away or dash or something. aaand obviously the speed of the flames should be increased

Always use the first Gadget 4:20 it helps to kill fast when you have "no ammo"

I watched a Bibi get 2 wth shotted with Chester's candy beans gadget. Also I feel like all the effects you can get from it are helpful for running towards an enemy.

Protective tunes nowadays isn't really that useless since almost every brawler can give some or the other effect to enemy brawlers

I think crash test is good , because bonnie’s transformed form has very little range , and the dash helps a little bit , but still sometimes you can dodge enemy attacks with it

I find Darryl spin gadget to actually be really good and the other one is really only good in solo gamemodes and knockout while the other one gives you super which is very good for Darryl and if your atleasy decent can consistently get atleast get 3k or more damage on a heist safe So both are id say okay and they both have their own gamemodes to be used on

Dormant star in burning ball has left the chat

I personally think recoiling rotator is quite useful but the tar barrel is the one I've been using recently, recoiling rotator allows more super charge when in a tight situation and that can alway come in handy.

You're wrong about Tic! I maxed him out and occasionally 1 tap people with that gadget. Perfect for Hot Zone, Heist (auto-aim at the box from a 45⁰ angle), and general spawn camping the enemy. As soon as they're out of the bubble, most of their HP is GONE 😂 Great video btw. I'm just saying 😂

rework for fangs corn star power could be him gaining 25% of his super for every corn an enemy gets hit for

Buzz' 2nd gadget is really bad: If there is someone in your range, then you already load your super. You don't need to know that who is charging your super. Only if you already charged your super or want to know who's in your range or if you want to be Safe for shelly's with supers

Protective tunes is kinda meta in top power league best first pick is crow there so this gajet counters him also counters lu(he is picked on hot zone a lot)

You didn't mention Frank's Active Noise Cancelling, It VERY situational and his other gadget is one of the best in the game (Edit) Also Belle's Reverse Polarity is really bad

At 5:00 Bo's tripwire is again good in Bounty mode .

Is eve healing gadget even bad 😅?

1. Recoiling Rotator is Darryl's best gadget, the other one doesn't help that much since Darryl already rolls so he can get close . 2. Tripwire is still very good.

I’m going to defend dormant star a bit. It is only placed on the ground if you miss your super. That gadget is just a safety precaution for if you fail. That was even if the situation isn’t ideal, it stops your super from going to waste.

Why is Chester second gadget bad??? it is better than the dice

Nubbz. The ad before the vid was you and Waseem playing squad busters

I say Ticks 6 throw gadget is pretty underrated for area control and knockout/duoshodown when the smoke comes in

As an Otis and Gus main i personally think that Dormant star and soul switch could be better in some situations. For example When you are playing otis and is hiding in a bush you can hide your super, reload for a new one and troll people by thinking that you are weak. When you are playing gus, activate your gadget and wait for an enemy, attack your enemy go to the spirit to heal (this works better with the star power) activate gadget again (you only lose 5%hp) attack your enemy heal and kill it. (Gus) 1st gadget has got a nerf, (No knockback) 2nd gadget a health buff.5%hp-instead of 15%-

I agree with most of this list but recoiling rotator is so underrated because it can get like 50% of super up even from a distance and the slow isn’t useful if you can aim your super correctly.

I agree that Sneaky Sneakers is not a great gadget, although depending on the map and mode it can be really good in knockout. also the tracer idea is good, that would work

10:19 is an easter egg about Hearthstone, it's the very old Mage card called "Ice Block": 3 mana, Secret: when you take fatal damage, prevent this damage instance and become Immune until the end of the turn

I think Fangs Corn Foo gadget isn't that bad, it can help with area control for e few seconds, it can prevent enemies that are behind walls from healing and it can do a surprising amount of damage because it has so many projectiles and is so easy to hit. I would definitely put Ashs second gadget on the list instead.

The fact that mentioned Shelly's trash dash and didn't mention Maisie's which is SO much worse beats me.

Later on... In line comes out.

i think most of the gadgets you put on this list are alright in their own respect but just overshadowed by the other gadget it is more a list of the least used gadgets than truly the worst gadgets

When i saw the rattled hive one *and i took that personally*

You are wrong about the spinny Darryl gadget all pro players use it all the time instead of the slow because if you hit shots when you use it it makes darryl cycle his super faster ..

4:00 I feel like Griff's coin shower gadget is trash on most gamemodes except heist, just a little bit more damage can be an absolute game changer!

I actually love Bonnie's gadget, i only play brawl ball and it feels like og stu just knocking others back

Crash test (bonnie's dash) should be useful when a frank is using his super on you

Rebuild of Jacky left the chat

Ice Block is pretty useful in Boss Fight, but other than that, yeah, pretty useless.

Now I just wait for your video everyday!

0:34 I through Chester’s dice gadget is worse than the candy beans.

-Poco's gadget is usefull in powerleague against teams that play with emz/crow/lou/frank... And it cancel almost everything ,it gives a 2~3 second immunity so you can predict stuns . -fang gadget is bad but not for the reason you gave,you can easily make the enemy take 3~4 popcorn .but it's still useless, you are fang you don't want people to run from you your job isn't to control area and the stun is just a LOT better .

Dude "Puny" was the perfect word to describe Bonnie's gadget, honestly I felt the connection when you said Puny. My mind said " perfect description".

Darryl spin gadget allows him to chain rolls. Its literally so useful in every mode. I literally died inside when nubbz said it sucked

4:55 the trip wire gadget is honestly good. If somebody is walking in the direction of your mines you can activate the gadget before they walk over it making the mines unexposed which gives you a higher chance of hitting the person with all 3 mines. Another scenario is when somebody sees the mines and tries to explode them and run away you can use the gadget to make the mines not show up when they walk over it and make them explode killing them or just dealing massive damage

i actually rlly like bonnies gadget, its knows back enemys, it can stop multiple brawlers supers or attacks, and its nice to have a dash with a short range brawler

Some of those gadgets are really useful at power league and competitive. Like Poco's second gadget

Maybe Eves motherly love gadget is better as now she has a gear that spawns 4 babies instead of 3. Also, how about sleep simulator? You just stand still, are not immune to attacks, and only heal to max health after quite a long while

Did he just say mine mania (tick) is bad!?? It BLOCKS ENEMIES CONPLETLY with 1 ammo so they cant step forward

this video was useful! Now that I know which gadget is useless, I won't buy them for future brawlers!

Multiball Launcher is a great anti-Edgar defence mechanism. Really. I've seen someone on RU-vid doing so and since then I like this gadget.

Coin shower can get this buff like how you know Shelly's GD clay pigeons have like a timer like how long you can shoot very far. That should be needed to Griff's GD coin shower.

In defense of the dancing flames gadget it can just kill enemies now an example is barley if barley is across a wall you can activate dancing flames and it will kill him in 3 turns around amber (it got buffed it’s not 500 damage anymore) corn fu is also better now it got buffed with damage and the popcorns have a larger range now

funny how some of these got a really massive buff lmaoo

Max gadget could be reworked by placing it down with a gadget, then whenever you want to go back to that place, you press the gadget again

This gadget at 3:24 literally saves you from kit drama💀☠️

0:30 candy beans are useful. It gadget works like rush-booster, what chester sometimes needs, couse he is a tank buster. In all times rush-booster will be useful for tank busters

I was looking forward for this video :)

They should make it so when you use all of ur gadgets, somewhere in the map there would be a gadget recharge every 30-45 seconds it spawns

The Shelly dash gadget I guarantee ppl who played before the new update got it alr

Protective tunes does help with stuns and has a lasting effect

with crash test u can cancel like a frank or a mandy and you can actually use it when u are close to someone because u got on him with a super

I actually use the Crash Test gadget. Imagine you're in gem grab and you jump out of the cannon to steal gems and you can use the gadget to run away. But it's not that good though.

Tripwire is only one i have but i use it for breaking walls in brawl ball and is actually not bad

Nubbz: Bonnie's Crash Test is the worst gadget in the game R-T: hold my In-line

Now ambers gadget called dancing flames is good because it does way more damage

Rico's gadget is very good, against tank for example or in other cases, my favorite gadget

Rico's gadget is quite underrated the amount of times it save me against a Edgar, mortis, crow etc when they jumper on me is insane. I know the healing might be better in most scenario's but I definitely prefer it in showdown.

Lou’s ice block has a great concept but 1 sec isnt long enough. I feel like it should last longer to avoid lane brawlers and edgars gadget is 10x better

I find it very funny that they just copied some Overwatch abilities and slapped them onto some brawlers without thinking much about it like Sneaky Sneakers and Ice Block

As a Bo player, tripwire mines is mainly used for wall breaking. Well for me atleast.

Ur missing the point for lou's one. The purpose of this gadget is not to "block" amo but more to not take dmg from predictable, high attack abilities like fang ult / gadget combo, or Colette ult and etc

I think that he forgot about RT's in line, it's IMPOSSIBLE to hit and it doesn't even do much damage.

first gadget darryl is clearly better than the second one, it charge faster the super and darryl need his super to kill while slowing is quite useless cuz you need to be near the enemy but if you are near the enemy that mean you already deal good damage

Protective tunes is useful now especially in top PowerLeage

Okay hear me out. 2 rework idea's for the poco gadget 1. The next healing the brawler gets is doubled 2. Every brawler in the range instantly starts healing (like natural healing. When you stand still and not attack) and heal for at least 2 seconds

Acid spray. I nearly never see it get ANY value. 99% of the time it's just used in the open and all that does is give you a damage reduction. Sure, it can go behind walls, but do you ever _really_ get the opportunity to get nice value out of that?

HEAR ME OUT, otis's dormant star is basically a better belle baer trap gadget, and I didn't see that gadget get mentioned NOT ONCE

3:26 that gadget helped me a lot of times in tough situations 😕

Last time max was even broken with SS, when she kept her condition (meaning full ammo, full hp) and u could just go in for round 2 on the enemy

3:11 Rico’s multi ball launcher is insanely good especially when dealing with and Edgar or really any brawler that jumps on top of you, if you use this gadget right on top of another brawler ( or just really close ) it can do heavy amounts of damage and take out a brawler in at least one or two shots. ( it fires two bursts)

NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT PANNY’S SALT BARREL, ITS SOO USELESS AND LIKE ENEMIES DESTROY IT SO FAST
