Just a healthy dose of dialogue and speculation today as Brawl Stars’ community passionately discusses the current state of Ash, one of the unique characters in this competitive arcade-style game. The community has noticed a murmur among the professional players regarding Ash’s status and his placement within the various tier systems.

Summary

  • Overall mixed opinions about Ash’s current viability in the game.
  • Many see him on the lower end of the tier system.
  • Others see potential and unpredictability in Ash which can be a game-changer.
  • It seems Ash’s standing is principally reliant on his Rage Meter and managing it effectually.

No Fire, No Ash?

BelleStarr_ pointed out that ‘most tanks that dont have a hypercharge are unplayable‘, which creates a discouraging environment for Ash. But just as we were about to pack up our toys and go home, elBlato countered with a quick left jab: ‘he’s actually quite dangerous if his rage meter is filled up‘.

Rising from the Ashes

A handful of spectators on the Brawl Stars’ battleground, for instance, -__Champ__- and UpBeat-Escape_ALT, have highlighted the potential that Ash holds with a robust counter-argument. As -__Champ__- voiced out, ‘once you’ve mastered him and learned to balance his health and rage meter, he can take over the match‘.

Is Ash in the Trash?

But drumroll, please for our buzzkill parade led by Bibi_the_CoolCat and Vivid-Reindeer-6454 who refers to Ash as ‘Trash tier‘. That’s got to sting a little. Sorry, Ash!

Meter matters!

While feelings and opinions about Ash are as diverse as the Brawl Stars’ characters themselves, the common denominator among all these user experiences is the necessity of a well-managed Rage Meter. It appears that mastering Ash is less about the character himself and more about mastering his mechanics – a theme echoed by many in the Brawl Star community.

So, before writing Ash off, maybe we should all go sit with this thought a little bit: ‘Complex_Till_5682’ offers up a healthy closing remark that ‘If you like playing a brawler, anything is possible‘. Absolutely spot on! After all, where would we be if we never pushed ourselves outside our comfort zones? Until next time, Brawlers. Keep on gaming.
