Brawlhalla 2026 Weapon Tier List
A 2026 tier list ranks Brawlhalla's 15 weapons for competitive esports and casual fun, based on tournament results and ease of use.
Brawlhalla's 2026 competitive weapon tier list, based on esports tournament results, ranks Scythe, Gauntlets, Bow, and Hammer as S-tier picks. A separate list for casual play prioritizes simplicity, placing Spear, Battle Boots, and Sword in its top tier, according to a guide from esports.gg.
Competitive Esports Tier List
The guide's competitive ranking is derived from professional tournament placements. It categorizes weapons from S-tier, the strongest for ranked and pro play, down to C-tier, which are seen as inconsistent with significant downsides.
Scythe is highlighted for its competitive freedom, active-input mechanics, and control. Popularized by legends like Mordex and Mirage, it frequently achieves top placements at major events. Marckiem00, the BCX 2025 champion, has dominated with Mordex.
Gauntlets provide direct offensive pressure and reliable kill confirms. Strong legends using them include Mordex, Petra, Zariel, and Tezca. Pro player Godly often selects Petra.
Bow offers great range for controlling space and safe punishes. Impala won BCX 2022 using Kaya's Bow, and legends like Diana, Ember, and Yumiko are common in pro play.
Hammer delivers massive hits with high damage. Bödvar, the original legend, is a regular pro pick, including by Godly. Teros, strong in international esports especially with a Roman Reigns skin, also uses it. The guide notes players must incorporate precise movement to avoid punishment.
Spear is a consistent all-around weapon with easy combos and long range. Notable legends include Brynn, Kaya, Dusk, and Mirage. The guide calls it a decent addition to other weapon picks for consistent damage but notes it doesn't overpower others, remaining a jack-of-all-trades.
A-Tier and Below for Ranked Play
The A-tier contains reliable but somewhat inconsistent options with more pronounced downsides. Greatsword, defined by Jaeyun who was used by yüz to win BCX in 2023 and 2024, deals massive damage but has slow startups. Battle Boots, popularized by Tezca, apply offensive pressure but are linear and predictable. Blasters have excellent range but can struggle with damage. Katars are quick and explosive but demand high precision. Orb is technical for mid-range but requires precise execution. Axe has wide, damaging sweeps but its slow attacks are easily punished.
B-tier weapons are situational side picks. Sword is a reliable damage-building tool but lacks range and explosive kill options. Rocket Lance controls space and deals raw damage but has slower startups and linear predictability.
C-tier weapons often struggle alone. Cannon appears at events like the Midseason Championship 2026 with Sidra but is slow and predictable. Chakram is a newer weapon with versatile forms but is reportedly complicated with lower rewards.
Casual Play Tier List
A separate list for casual players values easy-to-learn mechanics and immediate power. Its S-tier for pure fun includes Spear for its quick, simple combos, Battle Boots for powerful pressure and fluid attacks, and Sword for its forgiving, consistent moves.
The casual A-tier contains strong but somewhat tricky weapons. Blasters have long range but unintuitive properties. Katars have speed and damage but short range. Gauntlets are straightforward but require mastering directional input for max effectiveness. Bow has decent range but needs aim practice. Greatsword is satisfying but requires perfect timing.
Weapons in the casual B-tier require practice. Rocket Lance feels slow but has long range. Scythe is not intuitive. Orb is tricky but effective at mid-range. Axe demands skillful movement. Hammer is complicated for beginners but offers high reward.
The casual C-tier lists complicated and inconsistent options. Cannon slows movement and affects air play. Chakram, with its two distinct forms, is also placed here.
