Brawl Stars Shade Guide: Abilities Breakdown

Shade’s Passive/Trait

Shade has two traits:

Radius: Shade charges his Super by staying close to enemies.
Water: He can move or hover over water.

Shade’s Attack: Haunted Hug

As a devoted fan, let me share that my favorite move of Shade’s offensive repertoire is the chilling “Haunted Hug.” This isn’t your ordinary embrace; it’s a close-quarters strike aimed at any adversaries I designate within a broad, 150-degree sweep.

This assault penetrates walls and inflicts greater harm on enemies positioned at its core, as opposed to those on the outskirts.

Shade’s Super: Incorporeal Form

His ethereal physicality, or Incorporeal Form, grants him a brief, five-second dashing capacity that can pass through adversaries and environmental barriers. This power has a limited range.

While taking a break, he transcends the physical realm, acquiring an enhanced movement speed that lets him chase down foes effortlessly, moving through any obstacles along the way.

Tips for using Shade’s Super

Use it to disengage from a fight: In Brawl Stars, you can land into tricky situations at any point in time. You should use his super to escape such situations. For example, if you are low on HP or outnumbered, you can use his super to dash away and reposition to a better location.
Take advantage of the environment: Shade can pass through different obstacles making him incredibly versatile, so use it to your advantage to ambush enemies, poke from different angles, regain health, or relocate when your teammates are not near you to support you.

Brawl Stars Shade Guide: Gadgets and Star Power

Gadget

Longarms

When Shade is engaged, his primary attack reach significantly expands by a full 50%, offering a potent tactical advantage that could potentially shift the game’s momentum at critical junctures.

Jump Scare

Whenever I activate Shade, a chilling crew of spectral pals materializes around me, sending a shiver through any foes in close proximity. For an eerie four seconds, they’re left stumbling and struggling to move effectively.

Star Power

Super Speedster

When Shade lands a hit on opponents using his main attack, the Haunted Hug, his speed temporarily increases for a brief period.

Hardened Hoodie

This Star Power grants Shade a 30% damage reduction whenever he is in his super, Incorporeal Form.

Best Gears for Shade in Brawl Stars

Damage Gear

The Damage Enhancer significantly increases Shade’s already potent damage against adversaries situated at the core of his main assault. In critical moments, this accessory amplifies his damage by an additional 15% when his health drops below 50%.

Shield Gear

Shade has moderate health and Shield Gear can be a good addition to help him engage or poke enemies, as it provides an extra 900 Health as a consumable shield allowing you to take more damage. Additionally, the shield regenerates in ten seconds, when Shade is at full health.

Gadget Charge Gear

In tight situations, Shade might find the Gadget Enhancement Kit particularly beneficial for his setup. This kit adds an additional gadget use per battle, providing an extra edge that could potentially swing the outcome of a game in Brawl Stars.
