On the surface, it may look like players simply select brawlers when they go to battle in Brawl Stars. To an extent, it's true as some do. But, doing that can only get you so far. There's a hidden science behind picking the right brawlers and they can decide if you win or lose matches.

That's where brawler classes come into play. These classes are essentially categories that group certain types of brawlers depending on the traits and characteristics they have. Classes can highlight a brawler's strengths and the role they're best suited to play.

They're incredibly important whether it be building a strong team or deciding who's the best brawler to have in a solo game mode. So, let's dive into all of them, shall we?

There are seven brawler classes in Brawl Stars: Artillery, Assassin, Controller, Damage Dealer, Marksmen, Support, and Tanks.

Each of these classes comes with its unique strengths, but also with its weaknesses. The trick is to pick the right brawler within the class if you want to capitalize on your opponent's shortcomings or team compositions. This is especially useful during competitive modes like Power League.

Here's a look at each brawler class, what they do, and what brawler classes they're strong/weak against:
