Brawlhalla is pretty well balanced, but there are definitely some characters that are better than others. If you want to learn which Legends best use the current staple weapons, here’s a table for that.
What factors play into how good a Legend is?
We used the following factors to determine position in the meta:
Pro stats
Weapon combination
Stat spread
Signature Attack hitboxes
Signature Attack frame data
Who are the Best Legends right now in Brawlhalla?
After looking at the above stats, we’ve determined that the best legends in Brawlhalla right now are:
Azoth
Ember
Bodvar
Diana
Ezio
Jhala
Kohi
Yumiko
Xull
Val
Mordexs
S-Tier
Almost everyone in S-Tier has one or two of the best weapons in brawlhalla, but it’s really their stats that give them an edge over the rest of the cast.
Azoth | Ember | Bodvar | Diana |
Ezio | Jhala | Koji | Yumiko |
Xull | Val | Mordex |
Excluding Bödvar, most of these Legends fall into two categories: I like to call them Glass Cannons, and Juggernauts.
Both of these categories have 7+ Strength, making them take stocks quicker than most Legends, but where they differ is in their second highest stat.
Glass Cannons, such as Ember, Jhala, and Val, have Speed or Dexterity as their second highest stat, making them very nimble, but also very fragile. To optimally play a Glass Cannon, your movement needs to be very tight, and your spacing must be practically perfect.
Juggernauts, such as Xull, Mordex, and Azoth, have Defense as their second highest stat, making them lumbering behemoths, demolishing anything in their path. To play a Juggernaut optimally, you’ll need to focus on downloading the opponent, or learning their patterns and properly punishing them with lengthy strings or gimps.
A-Tier
The A-Tier hosts the vast majority of the roster. You’ll see all sorts of playstyles here, the hyper-bruiser Teros, to the alacritous Artemis.
Artemis | Barraza | Cassidy | Wu Shang |
Ulgrim | Onyx | Magyar | Hattori |
Teros | Ragnir | Jaeyun | Caspian |
Reno | Scarlet | Rayman | Petra |
Zariel | Orion | Thor | Sentinel |
Arcadia |
The only things keeping these Legends from being S-Tier are either poor weapon combos (such as Zariel’s Bow and Gauntlets), or stat spreads that are too even (like Jaeyun), which leads to a Legend just being mediocre, overall.
Best combos and strings for Zariel
To be clear, these Legends are not bad, by any means. The majority of them have seen a fair amount of play at a high level, in both 1v1s and 2v2s (Bralhalla Ranked Matchmaking), but they aren’t quite the best.
B-Tier
B-Tier is where some of the more finicky or niche legends start to show up.
Ada | Asuri | Fait | Kor |
Mirage | Volkov | Brynn | Nyx |
Lord Vraxx | Munin | Petra |
Cheesy characters, such as Volkov, Rayman, and Fait, aren’t horrible, per se, but they require a much more nuanced understanding of both their kits and how those kits work in every matchup. Another way of looking at it is like this: 10 hours spent training to learn a B-Tier Legend’s playstyle will give you equivalent experience to spending 1-3 hours training with a higher tier character.
C-Tier
Gnash | Queen Nai | Isaiah | Lin Fei |
Jiro | Sir Roland | Dusk |
The C-Tier is where some of the cheesiest, poorly designed Legends sit. You’ll notice that a lot of these legends are very old (Orion, Queen Nai, Sir Roland, etc.), which goes to show how far Blue Mammoth Games has come, in terms of balance and design. I would recommend against picking up a
D-Tier
The D-Tier is really the worst of the worst. These Legends struggle in all sorts of ways, whether it’s Cross’s general weakness and risk due to poorly designed Signature Attacks, Vector’s horrible stat spread, or… whatever Thatch is doing.
Thatch | Lucian | Cross |
Mako | Vector |
The D-Tier is really the only set of Legends that are strictly bad - seriously, do not play these Legends. Not only do they perform poorly, but they’re not even fun to play against. Think about how many times you’ve been killed by Thatch’s cannonballs. Did you ever feel like you deserved it?
Though each Legend is pretty well balanced, individual weapons are not quite the same. In short, the meta is currently dominated by string heavy weapons, such as Bow, Axe, and Gauntlets, but there’s a lot more that goes into determining that than meets the eye.

Who is the easiest legend for beginners?
The easiest legends to play in Brawlhalla are Koji, Sir Roland, Val, Hattori, Mirage and Orion.
Koji: His primary weapon, a bow, is ideal for aggressive attacks and pressuring the opponent. It has a small hitbox but a high damage rate and rapid attacks. His secondary weapon, a sword, has a quick attack rate but lower damage. Overall, this character is perfect for players new to Brawlhalla
Roland: Sir Roland's default loadout is the Rocket Lance as his main and the Sword as his secondary. The former is useful for its sharp attacks at mid-range, or fast movements, while the latter is useful for rapid attacks, despite having low damage. This combination makes Sir Roland a decent choice for newer players who are learning how to play Brawlhalla
Val: Val uses the gauntlets Gantulets as a primary weapon and the sword as a secondary weapon. The gauntlets are good for dealing multiple attacks in quick succession. The sword is better suited to defensive zoning and building up damage by attacking with combos. Overall, Val is another solid choice for Brawlhalla newbies
Hattori: Hattori combines the Sword as her primary weapon with the Spear as her secondary. The quick attacks of her sword and the poking hits with spinning movements of her spear make Hattori another easy-to-play-with choice for beginners.
Mirage: Mirage uses the Scythe and Spear, combining close-range attacks with good control of distance with quick jabs and spinning movements. Her dexterity and strength make her stand out from other characters, which is why she is so easy to play with for beginners.
