Brawl Stars 2025 Tier List: Who's Still Crushing It in the Arena

Buckle up, Brawlers! As we roll into 2025, the chaotic battlegrounds of Brawl Stars continue to evolve faster than a Surge supercharging his way through a Gem Grab match. This ain't your grandma's tier list—we're talking about the crème de la crème, the absolute legends who can turn the tide of battle with a single well-placed shot. But remember, folks: even the "worst" Brawler in the right hands can be a nightmare for opponents. It's all about that skill, baby! 🎯

S-Tier: The Meta-Defining Legends 🔥

These Brawlers are basically cheating (just kidding... kinda). They dominate the current meta like bosses and can single-handedly carry matches when mastered.

Willow - This mystical lizard queen continues to slay in 2025. Her blue slime attacks might look cute, but they pack a serious punch. The fact that she can attack through walls? That's just unfair! Her win rate remains astronomical, making her the queen bee of the arena.

Squeak - Don't let the cute appearance fool you—this little mutant is ruthless AF. Those slimy balls explode with the force of a mini nuke, and his ultimate can clear entire zones. Perfect for when you need to say "get off my lawn" to the entire enemy team.

Other S-Tier MVPs:

• Sprout: Plant power at its finest

• Sandy: The stealthy sandman

• Max: Speed demon extraordinaire

• Leon: Invisible assassin

A-Tier: Solid Choices That Won't Let You Down 💪

These Brawlers are the reliable workhorses—consistent performers who can hold their own in most situations. They might not be broken OP, but they're definitely not mid either.

Tick - The master of chaos and area denial. Those mines might have a delay, but oh boy, when they hit... Let's just say opponents learn to watch their step. Perfect for controlling space and making enemies paranoid.

Tara - Card-throwing mystic with one of the most satisfying ultimates in the game. That black hole can turn the tide of entire matches. Pro tip: use it through walls for maximum salt generation from opponents.

A-Tier All-Stars:

B-Tier: Situational But Still Viable 🤔

These Brawlers have their moments to shine but require specific conditions or maps to truly excel. They're like that friend who's amazing at karaoke but can't carry a tune anywhere else.

Shelly - The OG starter Brawler who's still kicking in 2025. She's like comfort food—reliable, familiar, but maybe not winning any culinary awards. Her shotgun still packs a punch up close, but against the current meta's ranged dominators? Oof, rough times.

Nita - Mama bear and her furry friend Bruno can still cause trouble. She's the definition of "jack of all trades, master of none"—decent damage, okay support, but doesn't excel at anything particular.

B-Tier Squad:

• Bull: Close-range specialist

• 📊 8-Bit: Slow but powerful

• Brock: Rocket man

• 💥 Dynamike: Explosive miner

C-Tier: The Underdogs

These Brawlers need some serious love from the devs or require pro-level skills to make work. Playing them is basically choosing hard mode, but the bragging rights when you win? Priceless.

Jacky - The drill queen who unfortunately drills herself into trouble more often than not. Her ground-pounding attacks look cool but leave her way too vulnerable in today's fast-paced meta.

Darryl - The rolling barrel boy who's seen better days. He's like that friend who shows up to a formal event in swim trunks—sure, he's trying, but it's just not working in 2025.

The Struggle Bus Passengers:

• ❌ El Primo: Wrestling needs a comeback

• ❌ Frank: Slow and predictable

• ❌ Carl: Mining for wins (and not finding many)

Pro Tips for 2025 Success

1. Master 2-3 Brawlers from different tiers instead of trying to be okay with everyone

2. Map awareness is key - some Brawlers perform better on specific maps

3. Team composition matters - balance your squad's strengths and weaknesses

4. Practice those supers - ultimate timing can make or break matches

5. Stay updated - the meta shifts faster than a Leon going invisible

Remember, fellow Brawlers: tier lists are guides, not gospel. The real S-tier is the friends we made along the way (and also whoever you've practiced enough to dominate with). Now get out there and show 'em what you've got! 💥
