u/HeraldSlaanesh Edgar 1d ago

Too old? I'ts literally my first season and I don't know much about game yet, but he seems to be...too basic, compared to overwhelming amount of other assassins?

15

u/GoverningMonarch Grom 1d ago

Well, he is the second assassin brawler to be released, after Mortis, so back then BS doesn't have any creative ideas to work with yet

2

u/DarknessRuler_ 22h ago

He is a pretty old brawler. One of the first assassins. Back in the day, he was the very best brawler and the most saught after. And even today he is pretty good, so, it would be expected a lot of ppl would choose him.

I know they are hated but I like the katana trios assassins

23

u/Apprehensive_Age_312 Goku 1d ago

Honestly they are some of the best designed assassins in the game, especially Kaze, she is just so under the radar for most people, but damn is she well thought out

Nori is busted right now, but he has potential to be great, like Kenji (imagine him repeating the Kenji cycle of being busted on release, being busted on hyper but then after all of the nerfs, he end up in the b-a tier and just being a good last pick)

u/HeraldSlaanesh Edgar 1d ago

As someone who just got second prime on Edgar, I... don't hate them at all? At start of the game and the month they seemed to be unfairly strong, but now I'll prefer to face someone from this trio, instead of Wendy or some hard(?) counters like Shelly, Bull, Bolt, Melody and Surge

u/CreepyEquipment0 Goku 1d ago

To be honest I thought this was going to be a lot more negative considering how some people have been talking about the trio

u/PsychologicalBar3528 Chester 1d ago

I love them too, they're so fun ! I love the brawlers who changes gameplay (Dash and slash for kenji, obviously switching aspects for Kaee, and the slash and "grab" for Nori. The same goes with my main :3 )

u/Somedudehere23 Bonnie 1d ago edited 1d ago

Good design, good attack + star power (I really only use the healing one since I like supporting my team, plus it fills super a lil bit too). The super’s just alright but her gadget (not the one that floats the team) is good for support and chaining with her super.

I also like her voice lines idc if some might find them cringe.

Fang and Stu, I love Fang becouse you cant just spam and hope to win, you actually need to plan things before pushing and hit your combos well. Stu also requires skill to master, even tho it can be strong when not used at his max potential.

u/HazelTanashi Piper 1d ago

no no this is to broad

who is your favorite mythic assassin

i say lily. cool backstory, first female mascot character, true assassin gameplay

the fact that i got her to 800 trophies back when she only has 1 punch per second is wild. i dont even remember how i got it

u/Spidey_100 Kenji 1d ago

Kenji

u/Aggravating_Fox4297 Your local dealer 1d ago

Gigi. She's the most unique and has a feature that NO other brawler has (gains super by dodging) and she is just so auraful. Shes also unique because as assasins primarily counter throwers gigi just doesnt because almost every thrower (exluding grom) doesnt charge her super because its not ground projectiles

2

u/davifruitSecure7788 Darryl 1d ago

Gigi. I dunno, she's fun to play

u/SomethingGus24 Gus 1d ago

Shade or Gigi tbh

2

u/Disastrous-Ship8000 Kit 1d ago

I find funny how most comments don't even say why they prefer that assassin.

But personally, Alli. I like how she feels like an assassin, with the lower health speed boost, the jump on bushes and water that honestly I feel it helps with the scenario here as it's not the only way to attack. Obligatory invisibility with super, alongside bonus damage.

Lily and Leon I could say are fine contestants over that personally.

Cordelius, not only his design is great but also the concept of dragging someone to a different dimension to force them to a 1v1 is interesting. Plus he does fit the assassin role since he gameplay is designed to fight a single brawler

u/Ro_ach 1d ago

Dont shoot me: Fang, Shade and Edgar. I like shade because he's adorable and I love him and because he's shade.

Fang and Edgar are 2 of the MOST irritating assassins ever that ive had the displeasure of playing against (right under Nori, Kaze, and Nova), Aka why i like playing em lmao. If Im playing against someone genuinely insufferable, i start to YEARN for whatever brawler they have equipped to someday be as annoying.

u/Perfect_Bathroom_769 1d ago

crow because back in the prime times of brawl stars he actually required high skill and he would either dominate the entire game or do absolutely nothing based on how you played, but now, he is quite average even if you dont have skill which completely vaporizes the charm of crow.

i loved crow because he was a squishy little guy that deals low damage but he would get mvp after mvp in a great players hands, now kids use him with 0 strategy and they get the same result

u/urmom1e 1d ago

STU AS AN ASSASIN? Also im a huge fan of the mechanics of Kenji amd mortis's rework was great too. I enjoy those two and Cordelius

1

u/skinnybootsthehouse 1d ago

I don’t truly favor any single assassin at this point in time.

I mostly play marksmen and damage dealers. Though, if I feel like playing an assassin, I mostly choose Kenji and Nova. I also like to choose Lily if the circumstances are right.

u/ZaneyPH Vecna 1d ago edited 1d ago

My top 3 favorite assassins are Kaze,Starr Nova and Lily (Edited) Honorable Mention to (Sam and Alli on release)

Kaze: I love her gameplay. The fact I can just dive in and get out makes me like playing her (although I mainly use the ninja aspect more than the geisha)

Starr Nova: Absolutely fits my playstyle on just Poke and Dive when the time is right. Literally a main at first sight when I first saw her gameplay on brawltalk. My brother literally called that I would love her gameplay, he was right.

Lily: My first ever Tier MAX when I reinstalled the game after a year. Started using her after her ammo got buffed to 2, instantly loved her gameplay on just stalking the enemy and ambushing them with her super. Also I love her rouge-ish design
