Thrower brawlers in Brawl Stars

Hits targets behind walls; safest as the last pick. Here's how Smart Draft defines the thrower role, how the draft assistant uses it, and every brawler who plays it.

What a thrower does

Throwers lob their attacks over walls, so they can hit brawlers who rely on cover without ever stepping into the open. In Smart Draft's model that makes them a counter to antitanks and control brawlers.

The catch is that throwers are fragile up close, and assassins punish them hard. The assistant therefore treats thrower as a last-pick role: it never opens with one and won't suggest a thrower into an assassin the enemy has already shown.

Map details matter too. The author's advice for Dynamike is short: not on bushy maps.
