Guide
---## Shelly Guide – Brawl Stars### OverviewShelly is a Starter brawler who specializes in close-range combat and burst damage. With her Shotgun, she can quickly clear out enemy brawlers in tight spaces, making her a formidable force in close-quarters combat. Her Super, Super Shell, allows her to deal massive damage in a large area, perfect for clearing out multiple enemies or breaking through enemy defenses.Shelly is easy to use but has a steep learning curve when it comes to positioning and timing her abilities, especially in the late game when her burst damage can turn the tide of a match.---### Shelly’s Abilities- Attack (Shotgun): Shelly fires a close-range burst of shots from her shotgun. The damage is stronger the closer enemies are to her, and her attack can hit multiple targets if they’re in the spread of her shots. This makes Shelly a powerful close-combat brawler who excels at area damage.- Super (Super Shell): Shelly’s Super Shell is a powerful blast that shoots a wide area of damage in a cone shape. It can deal high burst damage and knock back enemies in its path. This Super is great for crowd control, clearing obstacles, or pushing enemies back in tight situations.- Gadget (Fast Forward): Shelly uses this gadget to dash forward in a short distance, allowing her to reposition quickly. This gadget can be used both to escape danger or close the gap on enemies, providing an extra layer of mobility.- Star Power 1 (Shell Shock): Shelly’s Shell Shock slows down enemies hit by her Super. This is great for preventing enemies from escaping and controlling the battlefield, especially when trying to lock down key areas or objectives.- Star Power 2 (Band-Aid): Shelly instantly heals for a portion of her health after being below 40% health. This star power can give Shelly an extra moment of survivability, which is key in clutch situations when she’s low on health and facing off against stronger brawlers.---### Pro Tips & Tricks1. Use Close Range for Maximum Damage
Shelly’s Shotgun deals more damage the closer enemies are. Try to get in close to maximize your damage output, especially in close-quarters combat situations like in Bounty, Gem Grab, or Hot Zone.2. Use Super Shell for Crowd Control
Shelly’s Super deals great damage and has a knockback effect. You can use it to push enemies out of key areas or off objectives. It’s also useful in clearing groups of enemies in one go. Be sure to aim your Super carefully to hit multiple targets at once.3. Fast Forward for Mobility
Shelly’s Fast Forward gadget is incredibly versatile. Use it to close the gap when chasing enemies or escape when you’re in danger. This is especially useful for aggressive plays or when you need to dodge a dangerous attack.4. Shell Shock to Slow Down Enemies
If you're running Shell Shock, use your Super to slow enemies down after hitting them. This makes it harder for enemies to escape or reposition, especially in team fights or when you’re fighting high-mobility brawlers like Max or Leon.5. Band-Aid for Clutch Situations
Band-Aid gives Shelly a moment of reprieve if she’s ever low on health. If you’re cornered or facing a tank, Band-Aid can save you from dying. Use it strategically when you're in dangerous positions, like after a fight where you’re nearly defeated.6. Don’t Be Afraid to Engage in the Midgame
Shelly thrives in mid to late-game fights where brawlers are often grouped together. Use your Super and close-range power to gain an advantage in team fights. You’re most dangerous when enemies are grouped and you can take them out in one powerful blast.---### Best Build- Best Star Power:
- Band-Aid – Band-Aid provides extra survivability, which is very helpful in clutch situations. Shelly's low health makes this star power essential for keeping her alive, especially in longer fights or against burst damage.- Best Gadget:
- Clay pigeons – It allows you to win against high range brawlers and even finish brawlers trying to escape. It's definetly the better option!---### Good and Bad Matchups#### Good Matchups:1. Close-Range Brawlers (e.g., Bull, El Primo, Rosa)
Shelly excels against tanks and other brawlers who like to engage in close-range combat. Her Shotgun can melt through their health quickly, and her Super can push them back when they try to get too close.2. Weak Mobility Brawlers (e.g., Barley, Pam, Nita)
Barley, Pam, and Nita are often immobile or have predictable movement patterns. Shelly can easily close the gap and take advantage of her high burst damage to eliminate them before they can escape.3. Squishy Brawlers (e.g., Piper, Bea, Tick)
Shelly is great at dealing with squishy brawlers like Piper or Tick. Her Shotgun can hit them hard if they get too close, and Super Shell can deal significant damage to them when they try to position for an attack.#### Bad Matchups:1. High Mobility Brawlers (e.g., Max, Leon, Mortis)
Brawlers with high mobility like Leon, Max, or Mortis can be difficult for Shelly to deal with. These brawlers can easily dodge Shelly’s attacks or get in and out of range quickly, making it hard for her to land consistent shots.2. Ranged Snipers (e.g., Brock, Colt, Rico)
Brock, Colt, and Rico are all great at outranging Shelly. They can deal significant damage from a distance while Shelly tries to get close. Be careful when engaging with these brawlers, as they can poke and poke until they wear you down.3. Tanks with Shields (e.g., Jacky, Frank)
Shelly struggles against brawlers like Jacky or Frank, who can endure a lot of damage and also deal heavy burst back. Jacky’s shield or Frank’s stuns can limit Shelly’s ability to survive or escape, making these brawlers tough opponents.---### ConclusionShelly is a powerhouse in close-range combat with the potential to deal huge burst damage with her shotgun and Super Shell. She shines in mid-range fights and can be a huge asset in modes like Bounty, Gem Grab, or Hot Zone where aggressive plays and team support are key. Shelly is perfect for players who enjoy a high-risk, high-reward playstyle and can capitalize on her powerful bursts.However, Shelly’s low health makes her vulnerable to long-range brawlers and high mobility enemies, so positioning is critical. If you enjoy aggressive, close-range brawlers with strong team-fight potential, Shelly is a great brawler to master!
