Best Brawlers for Knockout in Brawl Stars

Because a single death puts your team in a 3v2, safe damage and strong positioning win rounds. Long range lets you poke without taking trades, while brawlers that can hold a flank or peel for an ally keep your team at full strength as the poison gas closes in.

• Long range — pressure and chip damage from a safe distance.
• Control — throwers and zoning to deny bushes and chokes.
• Flank threats — picks that punish an isolated enemy without overextending.

Bush control is huge in Knockout: brawlers that reveal or clear bushes stop ambushes that would otherwise cost you the round.

Knockout maps are defined by lanes, bushes and where the closing gas funnels both teams. Reading that decides whether range, control or aggression is strongest. See the best brawlers for maps guide for how to read those layouts.
