🏅 Brawlhalla 2024 Tier List: Legend Rankings
The following tier list evaluates legends based on weapon synergy, sig kit effectiveness, stats, and current meta viability in both 1v1 and 2v2 formats. Rankings are split into five tiers: S (Meta-Defining), A (Strong), B (Viable), C (Niche), D (Underpowered).
Tezca
Boots + Gauntlets | Agility: 8
God of mobility. Boots dominate neutral, his sigs have insane force.
Mako
Greatsword + Katars | Strength: 7
Greatsword combos are unreactable. A monster in skilled hands.
Arcadia
Spear + Greatsword | Defense: 6
Spear's range + Greatsword's damage output create a deadly mix-up.
Onyx
Cannon + Gauntlets | Strength: 8
Buffed cannon shots are lethal edge-guard tools. High kill power.
Thea
Boots + Rocket Lance | Speed: 8
Extremely fast, lance provides great coverage for boot approaches.
Rayman
Axe + Gauntlets | Dex: 6
Axe is top-tier, his recovery is one of the best in the game.
Note: Tier placements consider both solo queue ranked and competitive tournament play. Some legends may overperform in specific regions (e.g., Mordex remains popular in Indian ladder).
🔬 Deep Meta Analysis: Why The Meta Shifted in 2024
The 2024 meta is characterized by high-mobility, weapon diversity, and aggressive play. The introduction of Boots as a weapon class disrupted traditional spacing. Legends with fast, hard-to-punish approaches (like Tezca) have risen to the top.
Weapon Tier Influence
Boots (S-Tier) > Greatsword (A+) > Cannon (A) > Spear (A) > Axe (A-) > Katars (B+) > Bow (B) > Others. Boots' unique dash mechanics and low recovery frames make them the best neutral tool currently.
Data shows Boots have a 55% win rate in Diamond+ despite high play rate—clear sign of overtuning.
Regional Meta Differences: India vs. Global
In the Indian competitive scene, there's a notable preference for high-damage, hard-hitting legends like Thor and Teros. The "wait-and-punish" style is less common compared to the aggressive, constant-pressure meta of European tournaments.
⚔️ Climbing Strategies & Legend-Specific Tips
To climb the ranked ladder in 2024, you must adapt to the speed of the meta. Here are actionable tips:
For S-Tier Legends:
- Tezca: Abuse boot dash instant attacks to whiff-punish. Use forward sig on gauntlets for early kills off-stage.
- Mako: Master the greatsword bridge combo (dLight > nLight > rec). Use katars for edge pressure.
Counter-Picking in Tournament:
If your opponent picks an S-tier, consider a disruptor like Sentinel (Hammer + Katars) whose hammer can out-space boots.
🎙️ Exclusive Pro Player Interviews: The Minds Behind the Meta
We sat down with top Indian pro "Blaze" and EU champion "Snowy" to get their unfiltered takes.
Blaze (Indian Brawlhalla Open Winner): "The Indian scene is catching up fast. Right now, I think many undervalue Arcadia. Her spear down-sig covers so many recovery angles. For players here, I'd recommend mastering one S-tier and one pocket counter-pick."
Snowy (BCX Top 8): "Tezca is ban-worthy in competitive. The only real counter is perfect spacing with spear or cannon. I expect a nerf to boot dLight recovery frames next patch."
