How to Use Gadgets and Star Powers Effectively

Gadgets and star powers are what separate a good brawler from a great one. Using them well is a skill in itself.

Time your gadgets

Gadgets are limited-use, so resist firing them on cooldown. Save a mobility or reload gadget for the exact moment it wins a fight or saves your life — the best players bait the enemy into committing, then answer with the perfect gadget.

Pick the right star power

Star powers are passive game-changers that define a build. Some lean into aggression while others reward defensive play, so choose the one that matches how you want to use the brawler in your current mode.

Practise each brawler’s kit in friendly matches until the timing becomes second nature. Mastery of a few kits beats dabbling in many.
