The 7 Best Support Brawlers in Brawl Stars, Ranked
Support brawlers might not always top the elimination leaderboard, but they can completely change the outcome of a game with healing, speed boosts, shields, and smart utility.
These are the seven best support brawlers in Brawl Stars, counting down to our number one pick.
What makes a great support
Support brawlers trade eliminations for utility. Their job is keeping teammates alive, creating openings, and turning close fights into wins through healing, shields, and speed rather than raw damage.
This list ranks supports on how much they shift a match in your team’s favor, not just live win rate, though most of these seven hold up well by that measure too. Check our Tier List any time you want the current picture across the full roster.
The full list, counting down:
- Gus
- Berry
- Poco
- Byron
- Pam
- Max
- Kit
7. Gus
Gus is one of the easiest support brawlers to learn. His ghosts can heal teammates throughout the match, while his Super provides a powerful shield that can save an ally during the most important moments.
He’s reliable, beginner friendly, and fits into almost every team composition. If you’re new to the support role, Gus is a fantastic place to start, and he currently backs that up with solid results too.
6. Berry
Berry offers a unique mix of support and area control. His attacks can influence where enemies want to stand while creating opportunities for his teammates to push forward safely.
Berry is a great choice for players who enjoy helping the team without staying completely in the background.
5. Poco
Poco has remained one of the most dependable support brawlers for years. His wide attacks are easy to land, but his biggest strength is his incredible healing.
One well-timed Super can instantly bring multiple teammates back into the fight and completely change the momentum of a match. If your team likes to play aggressively, Poco gives everyone the confidence to keep pushing forward.
4. Byron
Byron is one of the most versatile support brawlers in the game. The same attack that damages enemies can also heal teammates, forcing you to constantly make smart decisions during every fight.
A great Byron player is always thinking ahead, deciding whether the next shot should protect an ally or finish off an opponent. That flexibility makes him incredibly rewarding to master.
3. Pam
Pam offers one of the best combinations of damage, survivability, and team support. Her healing turret can completely lock down an objective, allowing your entire team to stay in the fight much longer than the enemy expects.
Unlike many supports, Pam doesn’t need to sacrifice damage to keep her teammates alive. She’s strong in almost every situation and remains one of the safest picks in the class.
2. Max
Max proves that supporting your team isn’t just about healing. Her Super gives nearby teammates an incredible speed boost, helping them chase enemies, escape danger, or quickly rotate around the map.
A perfectly timed speed boost can completely change the outcome of a fight. Fast, aggressive, and incredibly fun to play, Max rewards players with great awareness and teamwork.
1. Kit
Kit brings one of the most unique support playstyles in Brawl Stars. He can attach himself to teammates, helping them survive difficult fights while creating constant pressure on the enemy team.
A skilled Kit player knows exactly when to support an ally and when to become aggressive. That flexibility makes him one of the strongest support brawlers available today, and he currently backs that up as the best current performer of this entire group.
If your team communicates well and plays together, he can completely take over a match.
Which support brawler should you choose
If you’re just starting out, Gus is the easiest support to learn. If your team needs powerful healing, Poco and Pam are excellent choices.
If you enjoy making quick plays and helping your teammates move around the map, Max is one of the most exciting options.
If you’re looking for a high skill support that rewards smart decision making, Byron is an incredible pick, but if you want the strongest overall combination of utility, flexibility, and game changing potential, Kit tops this list.
Support players don’t always get the spotlight, but they’re often the reason a team wins. The right heal, the perfect shield, or a well-timed speed boost can completely change a match.
That’s why mastering a great support brawler can make you one of the most valuable players on your team.
