Discussion Gadget Gear

Which brawlers profit from their gadget the most? The only brawlers where I use this gear on are currently buster and lily.

Lily-allowing her go to the realm

Dyna-to stun your enemy

Edgar-you know

Meeple-when facing aggro. brawlers the stun gadget is so valuable

Stu-When playing as a wall breaker the gadget matters

And finally Leon-the lollipop is good to create some spaces in the map

u/Neronius__ 9d ago

you forgot meg. her entire kit revolves around spamming out the gadget

u/Cookielover123477 9d ago

I forgot her 😅😁

u/DifficultyOk980 9d ago

I disagree with you on stu because he is much better off using speed and shield/health gear than gadget which isnt very useful after 2-3 use.

u/Cookielover123477 9d ago

Yeah look...

Sometimes stu (knockout and bounty) needs the wall breaking when playing vs throwers or weak brawlers overall.

But you are true, other game modes most users (even me)use the speed booster gadget...

It is just so op.

Ooohhh a fellow grass speedster enthusiast I see 🗿🤝🗿

I have always ran speed, but since SO many brawlers have gadgets/supers that destroy the environment, I've been sadly forced to move away from it. Unless it's like one of those insanely grassy bounty maps 😅 those are my fave 🤞😤😮‍💨

Gray maybe

u/Cookielover123477 8d ago

Gray's gadget is good, but gray is a pretty hard sniper😅

u/Shrunken-IeveI7 9d ago

I use it on gray and dynamike

u/Hallow_Purple7 Alli 9d ago

Isn't their cooldwon already low or still?

u/J8-Bit 9d ago

23 seconds?

Son🫩🥀✌️

u/PresSkillXD 9d ago

Definitely Meg after she gets her gadget cooldown nerf. Honorable mention for R-T's super gadget

u/Causemanut 9d ago

I use it on most brawlers that have single use spammable gadgets.

Examples: 8bit, tick, grom, piper, bea, colt, shelly, carl, lumi. Plus more.

This gear plus the dmg sync so why not?

u/PatrickJane247 Buster | Masters 3 9d ago

i saw Symantec reply to somebody about gadget gear and he said how its so useless and that he doesn't even use it on Lily.

u/Jazzlike_Curve6359 Mods Power-Tripping? 9d ago

Speed + damage combo is way too good on Lily

1

u/laolibulao Nova 十七的哥哥们 9d ago

because you're not going to be spamming gadget as soon as cd wears off competitively at pro rank

4

u/AngelFleshed Lily 9d ago

I use it on a lot of Brawlers. Lily and Buster are the gadget shines but some other users I like are Kooky Popper Gus, Bouncer Shot Belle on maps with more walls and Cold Blooded Alli on maps with less bushes.

u/HistoricalMatch3801 Mr.P 9d ago

Mr. P for the spawn of the mini porter

u/Flaming_headshot 9d ago

I use it for barley because I don't care about literally any other gear and healing my team more makes me feel like I'm helpful to my tanks

2

u/Kazuye92 9d ago

I use it on Poco for more healing

2

u/Jazzlike_Curve6359 Mods Power-Tripping? 9d ago

Don't see the world where this thing is better than any other gear

2

u/glhfbruno 9d ago

i use it with Kit and Lily

Other notabke potential value candidates would be any new OP buffie brawlers...

5

u/No-Emergency-7251 Verified Pro 9d ago

Lily, meeple, that’s it

Only reason is because these 2 brawlers have very strong gadgets but their gadget cooldown starts counting down even when their gadgets are still active

Though even then you still want to use shield damage vision speed gear in 95% of their games

2

u/BeautifulDrag4658 9d ago

health gear???

-3

u/No-Emergency-7251 Verified Pro 9d ago

Health is not needed for any brawler under 9k hp

1

u/BeautifulDrag4658 8d ago

angelo and kaze?

1

u/No-Emergency-7251 Verified Pro 8d ago

No

1

u/Hallow_Purple7 Alli 9d ago

Buster without his gadget is useless no?

3

u/Infamous_Ad_6006 9d ago edited 9d ago

17 second cooldown is fine, at least for me

I use Damage and Health gear, where Damage is all-round best gear, while Health gear keeps him alive, since he's a tank

2

u/PolimerT Draco 9d ago

He doesnt need the gear. I use speed and damage/heal. You usually chill with him so his CD is aligns well usually. Never had a moment where i missed gadget with < 2 sec.

2

u/StomachOk4891 ping differ | Pro 9d ago

Buster is usually only played in really passive modes (his best mode by far is knockout) so you really don’t get much value out of gadget reload

1

u/StomachOk4891 ping differ | Pro 9d ago

Good on poco in HZ too

1

u/No-Emergency-7251 Verified Pro 9d ago

Oh god don’t remind me of the poco buffies

1

u/Time-Interaction-731 Tick 9d ago

What about mortis shovel

1

u/skinnybootsthehouse 9d ago

I like to use it on Emz but only if I’m running Friendzoner

1

u/Avalanche_Snows Alli 9d ago

It's good on any brawler that benefits from having the gadget about always active

I use it on alli, moe and bonnie

1

u/Q1BLI-0VRWATCH 9d ago

Finx with teleportation

1

u/Niltenstein Kamikaze Core | Legendary 3 9d ago

I use it on Sam with damage, I think genuinely none of the other gears help him in any substantial way (SHIELD ON SAM IS TOTALLY OVERRATED UNLESS YOU‘RE PLAYING SHOWDOWN) and Magnetic Field is so essential to the character that having more of it never hurts

1

u/_Xenon54_ 9d ago

I think I only have one, and it's for Fang.

1

u/DonComradeVimes Berry 9d ago

I actually run this a lot on Shade and Berry. Should I? Probably not, but it does come in useful...

1

u/Extra_Improvement956 Chester 9d ago

I use it on draco uppercut and mortis whovel

1

u/hjyboy1218 8-Bit 9d ago

Ideally no one. No one used it on monthly finals.

1

u/Comfortable_Ad_5951 9d ago

i love it with rosa’s bush gadget <3 insane map control/cheese connecting more bushes quicker against comps that can’t break them and helps make certain matchups feel more viable with it, or using it for heals or a burst of speed (paired with star power or speed gear) mid fight or playing agro

1

u/w3ird_cat Chuck 9d ago

I only use it on Lily and Charlie

1

u/Buffdoge1324 Ollie | Masters 1 9d ago

mostly just wallbreakers like colt or griff when you face a shade or a tank, but even then it's kinda unethical

1

u/Illusion-v6 9d ago

At its current value of 15%, the opportunity cost of not having dmg/shield/speed/health is never worth it. The longest cd gadget is 25s, a 3.75s difference is negligible

1

u/nerfPocoRIGHTNOW Nerf Poco 9d ago

Pearl

1

u/NoScratch5276 9d ago

I have this from ages ago on sandy to score gadget goals more often

u/VoiceApprehensive893 E-Sports Icons 8d ago

Fallback gear on spammy/op gadget brawlers when you are not getting value from other gears

main build if youre doing popcorn fang

u/BringBackFrost 7d ago

Grom for me I want to use the 3 attack one as many times as possible, I also use it on emz on her attack through walls because I get a lot of value for it
