Guide
OveriviewSam is an epic brawler with 10800 health that deals 1600 damage at his attack, two knuckle busters with short range. He has the trait that charges his super from the start of the game. At his super, he throws his powerful gloves, dealing a ton of damage. Until he gets his gloves again, Sam will deal less damage at his attack. He can either call them back when he recharges his super or even pick them from the ground. When Knuckles are thrown, he will get faster movement speed for a second.Best build to smash your enemies with your powerful glovesGadget: Magnetic FieldThis gadget is much better than the other one, as it can counter assassins, stop supers or even make some combos with it (I'll explain later).Star Power: Hearty RecoveryThis star power allows Sam to heal every time he gets his knuckles from the ground. This is very good when you don't have time to heal cause multiple enemies are attacking you, and simply because the other one is trash.Gears: Damage and ShieldUse damage because Sam's attack doesn't deal much damage when smaller, and shield for more survivability.Combos🔴- Attack
🟢- Gadget
🟡- Super
🟨- Recalling Super
🟣- Hypercharge1. Against snipers (🟡🟢🟡🔴)
This combo is the best against snipers because they counter you by the range, but your super is almost as their attack. Try to super to catch them with the gadget, throw another super then attack until they die. This combo deals 7200 damage, so it will kill all snipers.2. With a wall (🔴🟡 x3)
This combo is the best with a wall, because you need to super 3 times, and you won't go until the end of the super to super back. It will kill most brawlers, if you don't die. It is very difficult, but remember that you must pick your knuckles before attacking.3. Simple Combo (🔴🔴🟡🔴🔴)
This combo deals a ton of damage if you pick your gloves before attacking.4. Against assassins (🟡🟢🔴🔴🟡)
It is the best against assassins because if you stick to a wall with the knuckles on it, if you gadget, it will stop enemy's super, then attack and super, killing it. It deals 12000 damage, because I won't count the first super because you won't damage the enemy with that one.5. Hyper chaos (🟣🟡🟨🟡🟨🟡🟨🟡🟨🟡🟨)
This combo is the best in overtime brawl ball, because you will hit most of your supers, walls will not block you, dealing a ton of damage.Counter different brawlers
#Kit. Stand close to a wall and throw your knucklebuster on it, but don't pick it up. After the stun duration ends, make sure to press the gadget and pick your knucklebusters as you will easily kill Kit.#Buzz. This requires perfect timing when Buzz supers you. Same as Kit, stay close to a wall and throw your gloves. When he supers you and he is very close to you but didn't stun you, make sure to press your gadget as the stun will be deleted and you can easily kill Buzz.#Edgar. Stay close to a wall and using your star power heal, and also attack, killing Edgar. You can also use the gadget, as Edgar can't attack for one second.#Rosa. Her range is very small, just like yours, but you have your super. Sam is faster than her, so she will most likely run away from you. Just throw your gloves and stop her healing, finishing her off, and if she comes close, use the same tactic as Edgar.
Game Modes

Showdown
Showdown Tactic: Feast or FamineIn the Early-Game, try to go in the center bush. This usually works at low trophies because not so many people go in the bushes. Take all the cubes and kill all the enemies that you find, with the help of the combos I explained before. Be careful at throwing your gloves far away from the bush. It can lead to leaving it, losing the game. In the Mid-Game, try to kill all enemies that want to enter in the center bush. Usually, you need only one super to do that because of your powercube advantage, the Super can do even 6k damage.In the Late-Game, try to secure the last kills and wait for the poison to bring the powerful enemies in the bush. Surprise them, and kill them fast. Make sure to not land your gloves in the poison.
