Brawl Stars Spike Guide: Introduction

Brawl Stars Spike is a Legendary Damage Dealer known for high damage and strong area control from a distance. Formerly a Sharpshooter, his 2021 reclassification highlights his offensive role. His main attack, Spiky Ball, spreads spikes for wide damage, while his Super, Fertilize, slows and damages enemies in a zone. Spike excels at zoning and disrupting enemy movement in modes like Brawl Ball and Gem Grab. However, his low health makes him fragile, requiring careful positioning and ranged play to be effective.
