Brawl Stars character tier list & best Brawlers in May 2024
If you want to know which Brawlers are best in Brawl Stars, our tier list for April 2024 will help you figure out which characters to play to ensure you win as many games as possible.
As a mobile fighting game with a battle royale formula, Brawl Stars throws tonnes of players onto a map and tasks them with, well, brawling until one is left standing. While anyone can win in the game, there is a meta that has emerged due to differences between characters - meaning you'll have a better shot at becoming a champion with a stronger Brawler.

Added Lily to our tier list rankings, and shuffled positions.

As shown above, Brawlers like Ash, Cordelius, Lily, or Larry & Lawrie are some of your best overall choices, but there are plenty of other viable options. It's a good idea to experiment with as many characters as possible to get a feel for which ones work best for your individual playstyle.
Lily has been in fine form since their arrival into Brawl Stars and hasemerged as one of the best Brawlers you can pick in the current meta. They have one of the highest win/usage rates in the entire game according to Brawl Time Ninja, so you'd definitely not be alone in picking this character.
Melodie continues to be in a good spot in the S-Tier as one of the newest characters, and she currently has the fourth-highest win rate in the entire game.
I found that fights in Brawl Stars would often go down to the fine margins, so gaining any possible advantage by picking a top-tier character was a massive boon for squeezing out a win against tough foes.
What's more, the rankings of characters listed in a tier may shift over time with balance changes, placing your favourites further down in the meta than where they previously at - or vice versa!
So if you've got a character in the S-tier and A-tier, when jumping into your next game, consider taking those, as they'll ensure you have the best chances of winning possible.
