How to beat Bull

  • Keep him at range. Bull is harmless past a few tiles and slow to close on kiting brawlers.
  • Use knockback, slows and stuns to stop his charge or push him back out.
  • Stand near walls he would have to break. Every wall he destroys with his Super is one he cannot use to escape later.

Common mistake: Fighting Bull inside bushes or around corners where he reaches point-blank range before you see him.

Game plan

Bull is a high-health shotgun tank. He deals massive damage at point-blank range and his Super is a long charge that breaks walls, used to reach a target or to escape. He charges his Super when enemies damage him, so taking hits fuels his engage.

  1. Approach through bushes and around walls. Walking straight down an open lane gets you shredded before you are in range.
  2. Use your Super to land on top of a target, then fire immediately. Your damage only matters in the first tiles.
  3. Keep your Super as an escape when you are low. A charge through a wall can save you as easily as it can start a fight.

Drafting Bull

When to pick
Pick Bull on closed maps with bushes, or into throwers and snipers that cannot stop him up close.
Who to pair with
Pair him with brawlers who slow or pull targets so he can reach them, like Gene or Gale.
Ban or not
Ban him on bushy Brawl Ball and Showdown maps if your team lacks close-range answers.
