In this tier, we will be ranking all the Assassin Brawlers in Brawl Stars based on how well they're performing in the current meta.
Assassins are a type of Brawler Class in Brawl Stars, which describes Brawlers who are incredibly skilled at striking enemies very quickly. They're adept at closing the distance between foes and can often deal bursts of damage.
With this set of characteristics, Assassins are extremely strong against Artillery and Marksmen Brawlers. Their HP is, unfortunately, generally not the highest, which makes them quite vulnerable against Damage Dealers and Tanks. Overall, you can count on Assassins to perform reliably well in game modes such as Showdown and Knockout.
There are currently 16 Assassin Brawlers in Brawl Stars. Some of them excel in their role thanks to their abilities, but some leave much to be desired.
All Assassin Brawlers in Brawl Stars, Ranked
Our tier list ranks all the Assassins from best to worst, starting from the S-tier and ending with the F-tier. Naturally, the more effective Brawlers are at the top, while the least effective ones are at the bottom.
We've assessed each Assassin based on a few factors. This includes their mobility, burst damage output, ambush capabilities, and how well they're faring in the current meta. We've taken the recent July balance changes into consideration as well.
Here is our tier list for the Assassin Brawlers in Brawl Stars:
Tier | Brawler |
| S | Alli, Kenji, and Kaze |
| A | Sam, Mico, Lily, Edgar, Shade, and Buzz |
| B | Melodie, Leon, Stu, Fang, and Crow |
| C | Cordelius |
| F | Mortis |
We'll adjust the rankings should any new Brawlers be introduced or balance changes be implemented.
Best Assassins in Brawl Stars
The best Assassins in Brawl Stars are Alli, Kaze, and Kenji. Their collection of abilities makes them quite powerful and so difficult to challenge.
Alli may have only been added to the game recently, but she has already climbed to the top of the popularity and win rate charts. Her ability to sneak up on opponents using bushes and track down damaged enemies means she is unbelievably adept at assassinating her foes.
Naturally, as she's the first Ultra Legendary Brawler, Kaze has some of the most insane abilities in Brawl Stars. She can swap between two forms, which enables her to be quite versatile and responsive to any situation she's placed in. She's an opponent's worst nightmare.
Kenji is arguably the most in-your-face Assassin in the game. He can easily attack enemies and come out with decent HP left due to his unique Trait and "Hosomaki Healing" Gadget, which can restore health. His Super is great at dealing area-of-effect damage, and you can upgrade this with the "Studied the Blade" Star Power.
Worst Assassins in Brawl Stars
The worst Assassin in Brawl Stars at the moment is Mortis.
Unfortunately, he's been at the bottom for a while now. He's just a very difficult Brawler to produce results with, as his max HP is not the best, and his abilities don't complement his role as an Assassin.
