FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Mico is currently A-tier in Knockout with a score of 82/100. As an Assassin, Mico bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Knockout.
Run Monkey Business as the default Star Power for Mico — it works in most situations. Switch to Record Smash on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Clipping Scream is the standard active pick; Presto is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Mico struggles against Charlie and Bibi, who can out-trade Mico at the ranges or map types where Mico is most exposed. On the flip side, Mico consistently beats Poco and Gene.
Mico performs best in Knockout (A-tier, 82/100). The Assassin kit — bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions — is directly rewarded in Knockout, which is why Mico climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Mico pairs best with Gene and Sandy. Since Mico 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 Mico well, focus on Knockout where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Assassin that bursts down isolated targets and disrupts backline positions. Run Monkey Business as the core build, track Charlie and Bibi on the enemy team, and pair with Gene and Sandy when possible.

HOW TO PLAY MICO

Mico leaps to a targeted location with his basic attack, dealing damage on landing, and his Super enables a chain of four consecutive hops that cover enormous distances and deal escalating contact damage. His hop-based mobility makes him exceptionally hard to pin down and allows him to contest objectives from multiple angles in rapid succession. He is a top-tier Brawl Ball pick where repeated hops can carry the ball across the field.

Mico's Super chain of hops must be directed precisely, so plan the entire four-hop trajectory before committing rather than improvising between jumps. Each hop deals increasing damage, so save the Super for targets who survive the first two hits rather than using it to clean up near-death enemies.

PRO TIPS

Assassin Game Plan
Wait for a 1v1 opening before committing. Your burst is wasted against grouped enemies. Run Monkey Business in most situations, switching to Record Smash 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 Bibi. Both Clipping Scream and Presto 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 Mico with Gene or Sandy when possible. Build toward Sound Check in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
