Brawl Stars' Most Useless Abilities 

This is just part 1 and 2, but in 1 video ;). I tweaked some things, added some side notes to certain abilities according to your comments and basically optimized the video. By the way, did I miss any abilities... (like Sprout's hypercharge)😅

this entire video feels AI generated, which is fitting considering the voice is AI as well

I’d argue shocky isn’t bad. Her other star power gives a disadvantage if u stand behind ur turret as it heals but its projectile speed will be extremely slow

As a tick main, the ONLY good thing about mine mania is that when you see another tick using it, you know it’s an easy win. Edit: Ayo is this AI, not very cool man 😬

Time traveler: Kicks a rock Bief: *Shocky is a bad star power*

Is this ai or not

As a Chester main I agree, in what point I would use his 1st Star Power but the 2nd one doesn't even do anything instead waiting to get your super and you'll know what to get. This Star Power isn't even that fitting for him because he is a RNG based Brawler.

never let him cook again

Hi, the yapping guy who created the RT recording star power argument chain in the previous video. Recording heavily outclasses Quick Maths, and I think Bief really underestimated it. With recording, RT basically has 8k hp. I think this is because Recording does not look strong on paper, but the practical use is literally way better. Quick Maths is very useless, the mark already stays there for long enough to use it up by the time it disappears. (A good teammate needed) Also RT is incredibly versatile on both long range maps and short range maps. He can act as a support for sharpshooters in open maps and counters most assasins and tanks in closes maps. The super mode makes him very fast to counter sharpshooters. I recommend trying Recording because everyone is underrating it.

Btw for Kits 'Power Hungry' Starpower to work, the kit must be collecting the cubes. If instead their mate collects them, it will only give you the effect of a normal power cube.

Bonnie's dash isnt bad as a owner of The Reckless title i can argue, since she counters so many assasins with it, and what her cannon form is usually the best?? She has low speed movement, she cant escape any fight in cannon form

3:30 that happened with clay pigeons and it became really good

I think that Shelly's dash can be still useful. You can use it to close-in your opponent before spamming that red control feature.

Mico will not use super until the hypercharge almost ends, you will attack few times and then use super

Even though they are focussing on hyperchargers rn, i really think we need an update about changing/remaking gadgets and starpowers. And also release more mythic gears

You can't imagine all the value I got from automa-tick reload, it's so useful for a brawler that has such a slow reload speed, even if it has less potential than the epic gears

Sponge + health gear is crazy good. Also…. I KNOW you did not forget primos’s meteor gadget, it is so underwhelming useless and impossible to aim that you’re better of using it to run away. Primos flip gadget is so much better for offensive game.

Never let bro cook again

As a griff main keep the change is actually really good against a tanky brawler or against assassins

12:33 Sandy’s gadget is really good in lots of situations. Also max’s gadget is so good, besides this, good vid.

Ruffs' field promotion is actually good because in passive modes like knockout and hot zone ruffs has lots of time to buff his allies and the difference during interactions can be important. Frank's sponge star power is the better of the 2 star powers because in the big friend modifier it buffs his allies to be even tankier as well making it useful there and since power grab isn't easy to use and can be situational (ex. when you hit multiple enemies of varying hp with your super) sponge is more reliable

Personal opinion is that Mico’s second star power is not entirely useless, it’s what makes him my heist main by far, being able to deal 25% of the vault with 1 super and the base attacks is pretty good

6:36 I don't fully agree with you here. It's super useful if you place the turret in front of your enemy with a hypercharge, It deletes them from the game. And if they have teammates next to them, it deletes them too. There is the slight issue that this star power seems to only be useful with a hypercharge.

This is just coming from a new person, someone who has both played it for a longer time and also has all the brawlers, half of this are just underrated like field promotion, yea its not that good but it work with other brawlers. Its not meant to be used willy nilly, its us is very hard to do but if you can use it properly it can be op.

I saw a Jakerton video where this AI was used; You're lucky brawl stars doesn't have anything to do with Attritting, T's are really a hurdle for it 😂.

Doug's fast food is actually better than people think! Sure, it's horrible if you use it on teammates, but you basically never use it on teammates. I've had a lot of success being aggressive and using this star power to help me stay a threat after respawning instead of getting pushed back.

14:54 I disagree I have killed more ppl with this gadget than the freeze one Btw, "we" agree ?

I'd say heat ejector us really good, first of all, carl's super is becoming more and more useless as more cc gets added, flying hook is used to set up super (which as I said is pretty useless) heat ejector on the other hand is really good dps, and it activates if you hit your attack, which is very wide. And I kid you not, you can 1shot a couple brawlers with one full attack. Now after the kooky popper nerf I like using the other gadget since you can get a lot of ghosts and heals on the map. What makes it better is that it can help you put either 2 ghosts in a row or set up ghosts in benificial places instead of in the enemy lines, I personally think its extremely underrated. Also sneaky sneakers is bad but I think if a max pro with a big brain tried it it would dominate. For a couple things missing it's definetly bibi's extra sticky gadget, it barely helps catching up, vitamin booster is far more useful and to make matters worse it doesnt work if hypercharge is activated for some reason. While on the topic of Bibi, batting shield is also not the best, bibi's playstyle should not be the same as any tank, your role as bibi is a controller, you have to occupy the enemy by dodging their shots, slowly pushing them back using vitamin booster if you get hit a couple times and letting your teammates do the killing. The speedy star power not lets you do just that, but also lets you approach 1v1s better, and why would you need a shield if ur dodging every shot? dynajump should also be added to the list, Yes I know thats controversial and all of yall rzm64 wannabes will be whining but that's the sad truth. Sure it helps you get away sometimes but that's just so situational and hardly ever gets value. You are wasting potental 3200 damage to do a small jump and even worse if ur using your super which could oneshot many brawlers if you had demolition. And I do not disagree with the fact that this is the most fun star power in the game, because it is, but it just isnt useful.

1:02 The whole point of Chester is that he's random, making his sneak peek star power a part of his base self would ruin the entire purpose of him.

I like shelly's fast forward more than the other ability

As a Sam main, Sam's repellant gadget is bad, but like at 10:09 when you were defending, you could have saved that by throwing it at the wall to knock them away, then either pick up the ball + busters and super it away, or pick up busters and use them to deal massive damage to the sandy.

the transitions are impressive, like the doug to shelly gadget was really good lol

1:42 he’s joking right?

I got sneak peek from a legendary drop THAT WAS PART OF A CHALLENGE.

I use both of griffs "useless" star powers but there good close up, the extra 33% coins helps against a edgar or any other close range brawler and shooting faster ensures the kill and makes it so I miss less shots

Hank already isn't a viable character, but as a hank enjoyer, the wall thing pairs really well with some maps making hank a demon

Is this a reupload?

2:31 daddy crying 💀💀💀💀💀

As a carl main i disagree, the spinning shield star power isnt as good as it seems, it comes only when u have the super (unlike the speedy throw which stays throughout the whole game) and because most brawlers have gadgets that pushback, the super just gets canceled and you cant get close. And the fire gadget is actually pretty good, it is hard to hit a brawler with it but when you do you can actually take them out completely and it has a bonus of area denial. In general both gadgets are good in specific maps and such and so are the starpowers, you just have to pick a good combo of both and youll do good no matter.

I think Jessie’s shocks star power is better then the other one for me as I only play heist with her so being able to do massive pass through damage is op

The first carl gadget is actualy really good at holding áreas and controling enimies.

I didn’t even realised that pearl had a 2nd gadget 😂

Yo, franks sponge star power made it so he was the only brawler in the game with a 5 figure hp (10,000). Before the days of shield gear and the health/damage brawler rework. It was really cool at the time.

Sandy's gadget is amazing for pressuring though, the heal is way faster than waiting for your health to regen to get back into a 2nd encounter quicker with a health advantage

Who let bro cook💀

Pearl's HC is so underrated

15:48 bro you can't be serious... That gadget is insane you can just run in deal a ton of damage and be full hp a second later and just go run in again... I love that gadget how are you shttalking it 💀

Dude, you throw 12 projectiles (4×3) with Griff's gadget. Not 9 (3x3) and that is a good thing if you are in a boss fight or fighting with a tank

I’d argue against Recording, it’s really good when you do split as it helps you tank more damage. And be honest. When you play RT most of the time it’s going to be in 3v3 so it’s useless to have more time on his mark because it’s going to go away with the next stray hit.

"but a-actually" 🤓👇

14:43 what personally use this for is getting faster to a certian point as the gadget gives u a slight speed increas

I use shocks in heist to make sure the turret actually hits the safe with every shot, pairs really well with her recoil spring

Shelly fast forward is realy good in brawlball I started with rank 19 and I kept wining to rank 27 so it's not bad

I mean, just from a glance it seems kinda obvious that there is a very solid use for Pearl's Hypercharge is hot zone - knock an enemy out and then keep them out by burning them alive. Niche but very useful there

Nah I obly have the gadget for sam and It's not to bad if you can play with it, I use it in showdown when someone tries to run away, because the ult will land in front of the enemy so he will get pushed back to me so I can finish him

Dont let him cook.I have Belle rank 29 with the starpower that unables players to reload for 5 seconds.If you dodge one shot and your enemy conects two the enemy wont have anything to shot.Thats really underrated because some people with skill isues cant even dodge one time

the ashe accessory is very useful as it fills the fury bar enough to gain extra speed and reach/surprise weaker brawlers with more range

I really do think that the second gadget of poco is actually quite good if you know the enemy's team comp. You can be sure that if you lock poco they'll take corbac and that gadget is what makes you win the game

the fidget spinner for dyna isnt too bad if your playing ranked and the anti effect modifier is in the game, also if an enemy is low it can pretty easily finish them off

If you play Jessy you need to position her turret so that it will block ways or so that it can hit the most of its shots while not beeing destroid direktly this radius is a litle bit further than Jackys normal attak

Protective tunes is WAY too underrated. Yeah, it is a great counter to Crow, Byron and Willow and it is highly situational as you can't get value out of it against every Brawler. But it can literally remove every negative effect. Slows, stuns, poisons, burning. It's way more useful than it seems to be.

Kit’s star power could be use in ranked, mega pig, boss fight, and showdown. Boss fight drops power cubes after certain level and mega pig and ranked have a power hungry modifier where plays drop power cubes upon death (correct me if I’m wrong about ranked having power hungry modifier I don’t get it often)

Griff’s keep the change star power is really good, and better then the other I have r29 griff, and i really like griff

1. it is not like you will not encounter melee combats when you play RT 2. Kit's mentioned star power is made for showndown modes 3. Jessie's star power is personal preference and mode dependant 4. Frank's mentioned star power is mode dependant 5. Poco's mentioned gadget is draft dependant 6. Tick's gadget is personal preference 7. Tick's star power is personal preference Personal opinion: I get MVP all the time with Tick's reload star power and that one gadget, it provides a more aggressive area control than with a slower reload speed and it does make a lot of difference. It is versatile enough.

Tar barrel is mostly useless when i use it, i thought that you would use it to get away and make the opponent slow but i didnt know it would make the player slow too.

I subbed man😊 this video was very good

Everyone is sleeping on Otis one... Dormant Star has a few advantages over Phat Splatter on Otis. Unlike the puddle, it charges the super so you can chain the mute, enemies really dont expect it since its used so rarely and it is way more fun. Also it can serve as map control aswell and I even think phat splatter itself is weak since it deals 1/4 of otis main attack and as said doesnt charge the super. And a missed super has still impact.

I think Doug's initial star power is instead of accelerating reborn warriors, It should give a speed effect the entire time they are carrying the hot dog. Thus, players can use a more aggressive play style or escape from deadly situations more easily.

A lot of these are situational and very good on some maps. Not every star power is meant to be good on every map. Like Janet’s at the end. You only use that on bushy maps and it’s good

Amber's mythic gear is good bcs u can build traps in hot zone and in a few heist maps when they get in the liquid they cant escape so its useful

2nd poco sp underated, it’s not only poison but ALL negative effect, works on Charlie super, burn, any stun etc…

Doug’s first star power sets up team wipe opportunities whereas his second one only really give him an advantage in specific 1 on 1s

Max's sneaky sneakers could be worse when playing lower level people. It can be really funny to see people use ammo just for you to basically lag back and not take the damage.

griff’s unload speed star power is insane in quickfire. basically just increases his damage by 33%. outside of quickfire its pretty useless, but it can help hit shots if you suck with griff!

just got back into this game after 3 years and i didn't know a single brawler besides shelly and jessie on this list lol.

I've lately been trying to use the max gadget it actually has some moments where it actually is really good

Man cool vid, but i dont agree on many points 🙁 For example: have you ever seen those kits in solo, which Steal cubes at the beginning and Then are unstoppable with 8+ cubes?

Tbf, Griff's coin gadget has its usage in one power league mode, though in a very specific scenario. If you need a brawler that melts both tanks and assassins in a mode where walls break, piggy bank is completely useless

8:30 also another thing about ruffs sp is that when you’re in a bush with a teammate the glow is visible revealing yourself to the enemy

Another thing is if you recently unlocked the character but only had one gadget for them and it happened to be one of the useless ones then yeah you are stuck with it till you get the other

Griff's first star power is OP in one case. The Quickfire modifier. It makes you able to never have to recharge!

2:56 a lot of people actually RT's shield is actually good, makes his super less useless Sandy's heal gadget is good, it makes falling back to heal take a much shorter time, but it's outclassed by the other one most times Protective tunes is only good in Ranked when you know what brawlers you're going against Heat ejector is good, you can one-shot a lot of brawlers but flying hook is better most of the time

Well in Sandy’s defense who just uses that gadget out in the open like that it’s suppose to imply that you need to hide first! And yes I am only defending this gadget because I actually use it.😅

6:30 , scrappy watching every single bull, primo, edgar or close range brawler die in heist as it decimates the heist thing box chest

i use both of the griff ones you talked about and i use RTs sheil sp

Mico's 2nd sp record smash is very underrated in heist you can do like 5k damage per hit if you are able to get on the safe

Also ticks reload star power is op because it allows you to keep a constant stream of mines on the ground.

omg someone that actually doesnt think crash test is worthless and its just overshadowed, so based I love that gadget

13:00 pocos gadget also helps with Lou’s freeze for the first few secs

I’ve seen Mico 2nd star power used in heist in Masters rank.

Chesters' star power rework idea: every 5 seconds Chester gets a 10precent Speed buff, damage buff , reload speed buff or a slight healing for 2 seconds.(What do you think about it?)

the gus gadget can be only good when you are in your shield and low health because the %5 will get the shield's hitpoint and if the enemy is close you could get the adventage to heal up when you are in shield i think the instant ghost is equal with the ghost pop chance my mind

Kit's starpower is not only in showdown, but in ranked only if it's a power cube modifier

Otis gadget in brawl bawl is underrated and carl's gadget is definitely not bad it's useful in knockout and bounty bc it does a lot of damage

As a Poco main I'd argue Poco's second gadget isn't useless it can stop the team from dying to any stuns and slows. It removes all debuffs for two seconds meaning you can't get poisoned slowed stunned with long range the first one is better because he heals him self and everyone in a small range.

i am a Amber main and her gear is actualy realy good slowing your enemis when they are in your super area is just means you are garanted to hit your super

As an R-T main, I use recording because you usually use your super when you're near an enemy.

I think the second gadget of 8 bit is kinda useless outside heist, because if the enemies can dodge the attack, you will be there doing nothing, also the teleport is insanely useful if u know how to use it

I actully got dynamike at tier 20 with fidget spiner, I would say that it's not the worst since atleast I escaped a lot of times from enemies using that gadget.

I can understand ur english very well
