FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Edgar is currently A-tier in Brawl Ball with a score of 78/100. As an Assassin, Edgar bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Brawl Ball.
Run Hard Landing as the default Star Power for Edgar — it works in most situations. Switch to Fisticuffs on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Let's Fly is the standard active pick; Hardcore is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Edgar struggles against Charlie and Frank, who can out-trade Edgar at the ranges or map types where Edgar is most exposed. On the flip side, Edgar consistently beats Poco and Penny.
Edgar performs best in Brawl Ball (A-tier, 78/100). The Assassin kit — bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions — is directly rewarded in Brawl Ball, which is why Edgar climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Edgar pairs best with Gene and Sandy. Since Edgar bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Edgar well, focus on Brawl Ball where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Assassin that bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions. Run Hard Landing as the core build, track Charlie and Frank on the enemy team, and pair with Gene and Sandy when possible.

HOW TO PLAY EDGAR

Edgar is a melee assassin who passively heals from every hit he lands, making sustained fighting actually restore his HP rather than drain it. His Super launches him airborne and then crashes down on a target for massive impact damage, providing the gap-closer he needs to reach his targets. He is extremely powerful against slow brawlers or in situations where he can isolate a single target, but struggles against area healers and brawlers who can kite him safely.

Edgar heals from his own attacks rather than a cooldown, so never disengage during a fight as long as you are landing hits. His Super should be used at the start of an engagement to reach a target rather than saved for last resort, as the instant HP recovery often means an escaped Super is a lost fight.

PRO TIPS

Assassin Game Plan
Wait for a 1v1 opening before committing. Your burst is wasted against grouped enemies. Run Hard Landing in most situations, switching to Fisticuffs on maps where enemies can close distance. Use Gadgets as openers rather than saving them — an early Gadget creates the isolation your kit needs.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Charlie or Frank. Both Let's Fly and Hardcore are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Edgar with Gene or Sandy when possible. Build toward Outburst in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
