Assassin brawlers in Brawl Stars

Dives fragile backliners; a reaction pick, never an opener. Here's how Smart Draft defines the assassin role, how the draft assistant uses it, and every brawler who plays it.

What an assassin does

Assassins dive past the frontline to take out fragile damage dealers. They're the reason throwers and snipers can't be drafted carelessly.

Smart Draft never opens a draft with an assassin: shown early, it's easy to answer with an antitank. The role pays off later, once the enemy has committed to brawlers that can't fight back up close. An enemy team made entirely of control brawlers is the best case, and the assistant points it out when it happens.

Assassins can't beat antitanks or tanks, and they get stronger on bushy maps, where they can approach unseen.
