Brawl Stars Pierce Guide: Abilities Breakdown

Pierce’s Attack: Pool Sniper

The ‘Poop Sniper’ attack fires a powerful, long-range shot at enemies. If it connects, a shell will drop near you. Collecting this shell instantly fires a piercing shot at the closest enemy. You reload by picking up shells or when you run out of ammo – and that final shot does increased damage.

Pierce’s Super: Fish in a Barrel

The Fish in a Barrel Super lets you select an area and fire piercing shots that hit any enemies within it. Plus, each enemy Brawler you hit with a shot will drop Shells right next to you.

Tips for using Gigi’s Super

Make the most of the dropped Shells: As every enemy hit drops shells near you, you should position yourself in a way that you can safely collect them all, as this allows you to perform more follow-up attacks on them.
Decide properly and don’t randomly use: The Super has a short delay, so you’ve to carefully aim for areas where your opponents will likely cluster towards. Or in modes like Hot Zone, you can use the Super to force them out of the zones.

Brawl Stars Pierce Guide: Gadgets and Star Powers

Gadgets

Bottomless Mags

Bottomless Mags lets you quickly reload one bullet whenever you drop an empty shell nearby. It takes 13 seconds to recharge after each use.

You Only Brawl Twice

The “You Only Brawl Twice” Gadget allows you to collect shells from the ground, giving you 1200 shield per shell. It can also be used to push nearby enemies back, but has a 13-second cooldown.

Star Power

Mission: Swimpossible

Okay, so I unlocked this Star Power called “Mission: Swimpossible,” and it’s actually pretty awesome. Basically, whenever I empty my clip, it slows down all my enemies by 30%! It’s a great way to give myself some breathing room and really turn the tide of a battle.

Slip ‘n Slide

And by equipping Slip ‘n Slide, you’ll gain movement speed buff whenever you collect a shell.

Best Game Modes for Pierce

Best Brawler Combination with Pierce

Pierce is a strong Brawler on his own, but he’s even better with the right teammates. Max is a great choice because his speed helps with quick positioning and collecting power-ups. For a tank partner, reliable options include Frank or Hank.

Best Gears for Pierce in Brawl Stars

Damage Gear

If you play as a Marksman, your main goal is to deal a lot of damage from a distance, making Damage Gear the best choice. This gear gives you an extra 15% damage when your health falls below 50%.

Shield Gear or Health Gear

To stay alive and keep moving, you can choose between two options: Health Gear or Shield Gear. Health Gear lets you recover 50% more health. Shield Gear gives you an extra 900 health as a shield that refills after 10 seconds when you’re at full health.
