How to Get Edgar in Brawl Stars

From 19/12/20 till 7/1/21, you could get this Brawl Stars hero for free. Today, you won’t be able to unlock him via your trophy progress. Still, you have a less than 1% chance of finding him when you open a Brawl box.

How to Play Edgar in Brawl Stars

Edgar’s Super is a quick jump over obstacles. It guarantees a speed boost upon landing. The Trait enables the Super to gradually charge itself.

During an attack, the character throws out two short-range punches that help him to get rid of 25% of the damage. To deal maximum damage to the enemy, he needs to get as close to him as possible.

Vault can launch Edgar into the air. He lands a short distance away and gets a movement speed buff for 2.5 seconds. Over time, Vault will charge passively.

The Let’s Fly gadget accelerates the process of passively charging the Super. The rate increase lasts for 3 seconds. The charge can reach 26.4% from the base recharge of 3.3% per second.

The Hardcore gadget creates a shield to absorb damage. The shield gradually decays.

As for the Star Power, Hard Landing adds damage to Vault when Edgar lands. It results in 1000 damage as well as damages enemies in a 3 tile radius.

Another Star Power, Fisticuffs, raises the amount the character heals per punch.

The best partner for this brawler should be Byron or some other healer. Thanks to them, Edgar gets higher chances of defeating the enemy without dying himself.

Edgar Against Other Brawlers

Here are a few ideas of which tactics you might want to use when Edgar combats against other Brawl Star characters:

• Edgar vs Frank: Try to use speed at your advantage
• Edgar vs Pam or 8-Bit: Better to avoid these tanks
• Edgar vs Surge or Brock: Rely on your Hardcore Gadget to minimize their damage
• Edgar vs Shelly or Spike: Wait for them to use some of or all of their ammo and then jump on them

When one Edgar counters another, they should either auto-aim their Super or distance from the enemy while attacking to extend the attack’s range.
