Max is currently S-tier in Brawl Ball with a score of 88/100. As a Support, Max heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Brawl Ball.
Run Super Charged as the default Star Power for Max — it works in most situations. Switch to Run N Gun on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Phase Shifter is the standard active pick; Sneaky Sneakers is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Max struggles against Piper and Nani, who can out-trade Max at the ranges or map types where Max is most exposed. On the flip side, Max consistently beats Bull and El Primo.
Max performs best in Brawl Ball (S-tier, 88/100). The Support kit — heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements — is directly rewarded in Brawl Ball, which is why Max climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Max pairs best with Melodie and Leon. Since Max heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Max well, focus on Brawl Ball where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Support that heals and buffs teammates to sustain favorable engagements. Run Super Charged as the core build, track Piper and Nani on the enemy team, and pair with Melodie and Leon when possible.
Max fires rapid shots at a fast pace and her Super provides a speed boost to herself and all nearby teammates, making her one of the most powerful team-utility brawlers in the game. Her constant poke is reliable and her high movement speed makes her difficult to hit. She is a tier-one pick in almost every mode because her speed boost can enable a team push, allow a carry to escape, or help the gem carrier kite opponents.
Time Max's speed boost Super when your team is about to make an aggressive push rather than when already safe, as the offensive mobility application is far more impactful than escaping a fight you should not have started. Her high fire rate also makes her an excellent gem carrier defender.
MAX DEEP DIVES
Mode-specific stats and the top ranked Max players globally. Each page shows win rate, pick rate, best maps and tier for that specific combination.
Stay alive first, support second. Position behind your carry, not beside them. Take Super Charged in most situations, switching to Run N Gun on maps where enemies can close distance. Use Gadgets proactively at 50% teammate HP, not when they are nearly dead.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Piper or Nani. Both Phase Shifter and Sneaky Sneakers 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 Max with Melodie or Leon when possible. Build toward Unlimited Energy in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
