Why EVERYONE Plays Edgar

[@MythicalForce27]

What's a movie?

[@tacogodboomdogg]

My name is Ong.

He's fine. What I really hate is Kit.

[@MalachiDevv]

Im indifferent tho

[@CorujaVerdeBS]

At least kit is going to get destroyed by netfs​@@munchiemunchie5226

[@amethyst137_]

Playing Edgar is the path of least resistance for new players, as it's just an automatic win with minimal effort. So they stick with him for most time. Heck, Edgar works (occasionally and thus unreliably, but still) even in higher trophies, since it's just a matter of luck whether your enemies would have a counter to you, or not. Not to mention, his hypercharge in pair with "Let's Fly" allows him to destroy even his counters.

[@GrilledCheeseSandwichReal]

Edgar is my 13th reason why, folllowing Kit

[@ernesto_7O7]

Edgar is just a DPS check so it makes sense new players like playing him

Barely requires no skill or coordination, close range, self heal and self charging super. Good gadgets that require no skill to know when to use, good starpowers

[@lectroeel6290]

That's the real reason fr

[@DuskLegend]

Inb4 I play Edgar, I don’t, but this game doesn’t really have characters that vary in skill like that. Either your statement “barely requires no skill” applies to all the brawlers, or none of them

[@eee_eee]

⁠@@DuskLegendso aiming your attack with belle is as skilled as auto-aiming all your attacks with Edgar?

[@DuskLegend]

@@eee_eee yes. This game is not that hard, but requires some mechanical skill and positioning knowledge. That applies to both piper sniping and the Edgar up against her

[@eee_eee]

@@DuskLegend that “mechanical skill” isn’t the same though? you can’t just spam click one button after clicking a yellow button as piper and expect it to work

[@robbierotten2024]

I think it’s a pretty simple reason, happens in many games. He’s brain dead and gives a dopamine rush, that’s it. His gameplay consists of charging super (for free pretty much mind you), jumping, and then killing something or dying instantly. Characters that don’t have a lot going on but against new /bad players they thrive in the hand of the new/bad players piloting them, will always have a high play rate. People play him, are used to not being that great, get a dopamine hit on a triple kill, and then they ride that high for the next 5 years lol. They get positively reinforced by his swing nature with rock bottom skill floor against lower skill level enemies. It becomes common in many games for a honestly pretty boring and uninspired character mechanics wise to have a high play rate cuz he avoids a lot of the game strategy and rewards you with near instant kills; even if the character overall is just not that good

[@Biggest_Con]

Remember, if edger gets removed from the game, the edgar randoms would all turn into mortis randoms

[@user-kn1rz]

At least with mortis, I have a chance to win

[@Verox0601]

I love that Supercell understood the mistakes they've made with Edgar, but also the aspects that made him fun reguardless. Edgar strougles in higher rank 3v3 games, cuz he either lacks early pressure or enough survivability depending on which gadget you choose with him. Most people take the shield, so you are left without any tools to prevent getting pushed back. That phenomen is mostly notable in bounty, where you have only got one life. The thing with getting pushed back in bounty is that 9 times out of 10 you yourself won't get rushed down, but your team will be left in a 2v3, which will result in their death more times than not. (As the Edgar left in a 1v3, you have an okay chance to kill one of them on your own, but winning from then is out of question. So you let your mates die, picking up some kills in the end, making you think that you are the most competent member.) The fact that he has a super one dimensional playstyle makes him one of the most matchup dependent brawlers out of all the cast, this resulting in an unrelyable win rate. Supercell learned from these issues and created a much healthier and well rounded brawler, Kit. How did Supercell solve the previous issues mentioned, despite being so simular? They dumped some actual utility in her kit. First of all: many bad matchups can simply be avoided by jumping on a teammate and switching your basic attack to a throw. Another reason that makes Kit viable in most game modes compared to Edgar is her gadget. While in the early game she still has to sit in a bush or close to a wall on long ranged bounty maps for example, she can also surprise enemies with her invisibility gadget, thus giving her ghost pressure. Her super is harder to use, however it is more rewarding. If you mess up and you super yourself into the whole enemy team, then you die during your own stun, but if you use it smart, your team can massively benefit from rooting someone into the ground for a handful of seconds.

theres a user called "i love edgar", his profile is edgar, his club is edgar, and he plays edgar.

[@EshanSonga]

Why people use Edgar? ans: he’s op, it doesn’t matter if your skilled or not Edgar gets you trophies and that’s all. Mastering Edgar gets you the ceo of brawl stars title too which is sick and his skins are also top tier

[@diagojonathan]

I assume it's because he's so basic to play and given for free so new players main him and stick with him, i can understand because i mained Darryl in 2019 and he's still one of my mains to this day

Edgar is pretty much the Mega Knight of brawl stars

[@Whipcream133]

Because he’s not

[@sivanandkalita2563]

Almost every tank and anti tank brawler counters him. If edgar jumps on them it's basically suicide. And then there are brawlers that can easily maintain distance. In competitive pros only pick edgar as a last pick. I could give a list of brawlers that hard counters edgar like Shelly, bull, el primo, frank, Griff, hank, jacky, rosa, Draco, spike, doug, gale, piper, Cornelius, lily, ash, stu, pearl, sam, Darryl, otis, masie, surge, meg, chester and Angelo. These brawlers would beat edgar most of the time. And some brawlers would occasionally counter edgar in the right conditions like Rico, melody, tick, leon, crow, dynamike, fang, buster, buzz, max, that mind control brawler I forgot, mico, larry and lawrie and idk more. That's like 40% of the brawlers in the game.

[@sivanandkalita2563]

How about I also tell Edgar's weaknesses? He is unusable on open maps, Unless you have dumb enemies. Anyone with a little brain can simply maintain distance. He doesn't have enough burst damage to beat tanks. He doesn't have the health to tank things like a Shelly super or rico gadget. He's just so predictable like most close range brawlers. He's not the fastest brawler either when brawlers like max, mortis, melody and chuck exist. He neither has the highest attack speed cuz that is lily.
