What do you need to know about Pierce in Brawl Stars?
Pierce: the sniper rescuer
According to Supercell, Pierce is a pool lifeguard. However, in reality, he is an exceptional sniper who shoots people instead of saving their lives. He acts as a great companion to Buzz and can “clean” the pool when there is a lot of mess.
What are Pierce’s abilities in Brawl Stars?
Attack
- Pool Sniper: Pierce fires a powerful long-range water projectile. If the shot hits an enemy, Pierce drops a shell near them. Once it collects the shell, it automatically reloads and fires one shot towards the nearest visible target that pierces all obstacles. Depending on its trait, the last ammunition in the clip inflicts additional damage. However, if the shell is not retrieved within six seconds, the ammunition is exhausted.
Great
- Pierce marks an area and, after a slight delay, fires a piercing shot. Each hit also drops a shell next to Pierce.

What are Pierce’s gadgets and star powers in Brawl Stars?
Gadgets
- Bottomless Mags: This gadget helps reload ammo and drops a shell next to Pierce.
- You only fight twice: A unique gadget, You OnlyBrawl Twice helps Pierce absorb all the shells on the ground. The brawler also gains a shield for each shield collected, while fending off any enemies hiding nearby. All it takes is an enemy attack that does more damage than the health of the shield for it to break and inflict damage on Pierce.
Star Powers
- Swimpossible mission: Pierce’s final ammo slows enemies, giving the user a major advantage.
- Swipe and Snipe: Once a shell is collected, Pierce gains a short burst (one second) of movement speed (15%). This effect is in addition to other speed boosting abilities available.
Note that Pierce’s Hypercharge has not yet been added. However, like other brawlers, players can expect Supercell to introduce Pierce’s Hypercharge soon.
