Gadget & Star Power Tier List (All Brawlers)

Choosing the right gadget and star power can change a brawler from C-tier to S-tier. Here's the complete ranking for every brawler in the current season.

S-Tier Gadgets

Brawler	Gadget	Why It's S-Tier
Surge	Power Surge	Free upgrade without needing to kill
Cordelius	Replanting	Escape any bad engagement instantly
Kenji	Dash Slash	Invincibility frames + reposition
Janet	Backstage Pass	Pseudo-invincibility for 3 seconds
Buster	Utility Belly	Block any projectile for 2 seconds

Underrated Gadget Combos

• Tara + Healing Shade: Heal 1800 per second in the super -- turns her into a pseudo-tank
• Bo + Net Arrows: Reveal invisible enemies for 5 seconds (counters Leon/Sandy)
• Gale + Twister: Knockback + slow field -- dominant on closed maps

Gadget Priority Guide
1. Always buy the suggested meta gadget first
2. If your brawler has a "free upgrade" gadget (like Surge), ALWAYS pick it
3. If both gadgets are viable, check the current map rotation
4. Wait 3 days after a brawler releases before buying -- nerfs may come fast

Final recommendation: Don't spend your coins on star powers that cost 2000 unless they're S-tier. Many brawlers work fine with just their gadget at Diamond rank. Prioritize buying gadgets first (1000 coins each) and only invest in star powers for brawlers you actually main. This approach saves you about 40% of total upgrade costs.
