Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – Best Gadgets, Star Powers, & More

by

This guide will help you master Jacky in Brawl Stars. We’ll cover her attacks, stats, and abilities to build the most effective strategy. Jacky excels at close-range combat, boasting both quick movement and high health. Let’s dive right into the details!

Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – How To Unlock

To unlock Jacky in Brawl Stars, players can:

  • Unlock her on Trophy Road
  • Unlock her from a Mega Box (0.5% chance)
    • *Players may also unlock Jacky from different rewards like Sushi Rolls or Angelic/Demonic Drops

You’ll probably get Jacky by progressing on Trophy Road, but it might take a while. Earning enough trophies to unlock him could require some effort, and you might need to play with different brawlers to increase your trophy count.

Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – Attacks & Stats Per Level

Jacky’s primary attack, called Groundbreaker, deals damage to all enemies nearby. It’s a fast attack that doesn’t require precise aiming, but you need to be in close range to connect with the attack.

Jacky’s Super, “Holey Moley!”, pulls all nearby enemies towards her. It doesn’t directly hurt them, but it brings opponents closer, briefly stopping them from attacking or moving. If enemies are very close to Jacky when pulled, they’ll also get pushed back, creating extra disruption.

Additionally, Jacky’s Hypercharge ability, called Seismic Event, briefly slows down any enemies she hits with it.

Lastly, Jacky possesses a trait that lets her charge her Super when receiving damage

Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – Which Star Powers & Gadgets are the best?

Overall, Jacky has two gadgets:

  • Pneumatic Booster – “Jacky gets a burst of energy and moves faster for a brief period.”
  • Rebuild – “Jacky rebuilds the environment in a small radius around her.”

Additionally, Jacky has two Star Powers:

  • Counter Crush – “When receiving damage, Jacky returns the favor by converting a percentage of the damage into a Groundbreaker counterattack.”
  • Hardy Hard Hat – “Jacky’s Hard Hat protects her by reducing any damage she takes.”

Furthermore, Jacky can use the following gears in battle:

  • Speed
  • Vision
  • Health
  • Shield
  • Damage
  • Gadget Cooldown

Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – Recommended Star Power, Gadget, & Gear Setup

We suggest using Pneumatic Booster for Jacky instead of Rebuild. Rebuild is only useful in specific situations, while Pneumatic Booster lets Jacky quickly reach objectives or opponents. This is especially helpful in fast-paced modes like Brawl Ball, Gem Grab, and Hot Zone when she needs to move quickly.

When choosing Star Powers, we usually recommend Hardy Hard Hat. Reducing damage is typically more helpful than Counter Crush, because you aren’t always close enough to enemies for Counter Crush to be effective. Hardy Hard Hat consistently lowers the damage you take, no matter your position.

When equipping Gears for Jacky, we recommend prioritizing Shield and Damage Gear. This builds on her existing strengths by increasing her health and damage. If you frequently use her on larger, more open maps, a Speed Gear can also be helpful.

Brawl Stars – Which Modes Should You Use Jacky In (And Which Modes You Shouldn’t)

Duo/Trio Showdown

Okay, so as someone who’s played a TON of this mode, let me tell you, Jacky is a beast. Her high health means she can take a beating, and she does serious damage with her main attack. Plus, she’s amazing at clearing out those boxes quickly. What really makes her shine is how fast she is – she can easily chase down enemies, especially with her Pneumatic Booster. And because everyone’s usually so close together, one good hit from her can take out multiple opponents. Seriously, she’s a game-changer.

Gem Grab

Jacky is a strong pick for Gem Grab because she excels at both attacking and defending, but she works best with team support. Her Super ability can draw opponents in, and her quick speed lets her collect gems efficiently. Plus, she’s durable enough to withstand attacks and survive until the timer runs out.

Brawl Ball

Although she can’t break through walls, her attacks can reach enemies behind them. Combined with her speed, health, and special ability, she’s a strong contender in Brawl Ball. She can grab the ball from opponents, pull enemies closer, and quickly dash towards the goal using her boost.

Brawl Stars Jacky Guide – What Mode(s) Should I NOT Use Jacky In?

Bounty/Knockout/Wipeout

Jacky, like many fighters who excel at close range, often has a hard time in game modes that give an advantage to long-range attackers. Even when she manages to get close, other brawlers can easily slow her down, stun her, or push her away.

Overall, that wraps up our Brawl Stars Carl Guide!
