The 7 Best Artillery Brawlers in Brawl Stars
Artillery brawlers win fights without ever needing to be seen. They lob damage over walls, deny space, and punish anyone who stands still for too long. Today we are discussing the 7 best artillery brawlers in Brawl Stars, and how to figure out which one fits your playstyle.
What makes a great artillery brawler
Artillery brawlers control fights from a distance without ever needing to be seen. Their whole job is denying space, punishing bad positioning, and making it painful for the enemy team to stay in one place too long.
This list ranks artillery brawlers on skill ceiling, kit design, and carry potential, not live win rate. That distinction matters more here than in most of our guides.
Right now, Juju is by far the strongest artillery brawler by the numbers, sitting at S tier, #6 of the entire 106-brawler roster. Several others on this list, including our #1 pick, currently sit much lower on the live Tier List than their reputation suggests.
That’s not a contradiction. A brawler like Dynamike can have enormous carry potential in skilled hands while still posting a low average win rate, since so much of his kit depends on prediction and practice most players never put in.
Check our Tier List any time you want the current picture across the full roster.
7. Barley
His lobbed bottles arc over walls and leave a damaging puddle behind, making it easy to control key paths.
He’s also one of the easiest artillery brawlers to learn, making Barley a fantastic choice if you’re just getting started with this class.

6. Larry & Lawrie
Larry & Lawrie bring a completely different style to the artillery class. Instead of relying purely on long range pressure, they combine strong area control with the ability to overwhelm opponents through constant pressure.
Larry & Lawrie can dominate the right maps, but compared to the strongest artillery brawlers, they require better positioning and decision making to consistently carry games.
5. Grom
His attacks travel a long distance before exploding into a cross-shaped blast.
That unique attack pattern lets him pressure enemies from incredible range while forcing them to keep moving. A skilled Grom player can constantly predict enemy movement and land shots that feel almost impossible to dodge.
If you enjoy rewarding aim and prediction, he’s an excellent pick.
4. Juju
Juju has quickly become one of the most interesting artillery brawlers in the game.
Her attacks constantly pressure enemies while making it difficult for them to stay in one position for too long. A good Juju player doesn’t just deal damage.
They slowly take control of the battlefield, forcing opponents to move exactly where they don’t want to go.
If you enjoy controlling fights from a safe distance while constantly disrupting the enemy team, she’s an excellent choice, and right now, she’s also the strongest performer on this entire list by live win rate.
3. Sprout
He isn’t just about dealing damage, he’s about controlling the map.
His attacks bounce into awkward positions, making it difficult for opponents to find safe spots.
And then there’s his Super, Hedge. One perfectly placed vine wall can completely block a path, trap enemies, or protect your teammates during a critical fight.
Very few brawlers can reshape the battlefield the way Sprout can.
2. Tick
He’s one of the most frustrating brawlers to play against.
His mines constantly cover huge portions of the map, forcing opponents to take longer routes or risk walking straight into damage.
Even when Tick isn’t landing direct hits, he’s controlling where the enemy team can safely move, and when his Super starts rolling toward you, panic usually follows.
He thrives on creating pressure without ever needing to get close.
1. Dynamike
Number one spot is Dynamike, and in the hands of an experienced player he’s absolutely terrifying. His explosive attacks deal massive burst damage.
His Super can completely change the outcome of a fight, and skilled players can chain attacks together to eliminate enemies almost instantly.
He isn’t the easiest artillery brawler to master, and that gap between beginner and expert is bigger for him than almost anyone else on this list. He currently has the lowest average win rate of any brawler in the game, which reflects how many players haven’t put in the reps rather than a weak kit.
Once you learn him, though, few brawlers are as satisfying to play. That’s exactly why he earns our number one spot for pure carry potential.
So which artillery brawler should you choose
If you’re completely new to the class, Barley is the easiest place to start. His attacks are simple to understand, and he teaches you the fundamentals of controlling space.
If you enjoy outsmarting your opponents with clever positioning, Sprout is an incredible choice.
If you want to frustrate the enemy team while controlling huge areas of the map, Tick is one of the strongest options available.
If you want the strongest current performer in the class, Juju is the standout pick by a wide margin right now.
And if you’re looking for the highest skill ceiling and the biggest carry potential, Dynamike stands above the rest.
At the end of the day, artillery brawlers aren’t about rushing into fights. They’re about controlling them before they even begin.
FAQ
Is this ranking based on current win rate or skill ceiling?
Skill ceiling and kit design, not live win rate. Juju is currently the strongest performer by a wide margin, while Dynamike, our top pick, has one of the lowest average win rates in the game despite his ceiling, so check our Tier List for exactly where things stand today.
Why is Dynamike ranked first if his win rate is so low?
Average win rate includes every player who has ever picked him up, including beginners still learning his prediction-based playstyle. His ceiling in experienced hands is enormous, which is what this ranking measures.
Which artillery brawler should a beginner start with?
Barley. His attacks are simple to understand and forgiving to land, which makes him the best entry point into the class before moving on to trickier picks like Tick or Dynamike.
Does this ranking change with balance updates?
Yes, both skill ceiling and win rate shift with balance patches. Check our Tier List for how these seven, and the rest of the roster, are performing right now.
