Brawl Stars, Supercell’s online multiplayer third-person battle arena/shooter game, had just undergone a new meta shift for the month of October. The hit game features many game modes that either consist of a 3 versus 3 setup or a battle royal, and Brawlers that perform differently in these game modes. We’re ranking every Brawler in tiers based on their meta standings: performance, pick rates, and win rates in this complete list.
Brawl Stars Meta Tier List

With its chaotic vibe combined with strategic controls and setups in order to dominate the brawling arena, Brawl Stars continued to receive positive feedback and subsequently a great boost in popularity. Compared to when it started, there are far more Brawlers available now. Let’s delve in and see which Brawlers are top tier in meta as of current October 2024.

October’s Brawler Meta
Meta and tier lists may be a defining state that could affect how effective players achieve things in a game, but keep in mind that it doesn’t mean the other characters can’t be used. Like many other games, Brawl Stars has had quite a bunch of tier list shuffles due to the ever changing Meta. So don’t be so down if you see your favorite Brawler being ranked lower for this month of October—their time to shine will always come around. Meta is simply a part of life, it does not define the totality of life.
With that, be sure to lookout for new updates and changes in the meta tier list. Systems like these in video games tend to make a quick turn out of the blue depending on what the developers would update the game with. We hope that this list can help you choose and enjoy new brawlers to try—and ultimately enjoy—in the chaotic world of Brawl Stars.
