Number one Carl

Gadget: gives mobility/escape potential, you can use it to get close to a weak enemy to finish as well. The other gadget is good so if you pull it from a drop or something you can use it without feeling bad it gives a nice damage boost. Also good for getting blue star and gems.Star Power: Helps protect you long enough to get decent damage on tanks or assassins. The other star power is useless and doesn’t actually workGear: Carl’s gadget is super useful especially in showdown, otherwise I would use shield gear for more health. Damage gear is essential in every mode you really need it to win fights. Health gear is not bad but sometimes it is worth it to just stay at half health and get the damage boost, and the other gear is not very useful on Carl unless it’s an extremely bushy map, but I would still not pick themHypercharge is also worthwhile it helps him get extra damage into targets that would otherwise survive, a hyper super does massive damage to the safe in heist as well. Also, when you are going in for a big play with gadget you can pop hyper at the end of the animation to get started fasterHOW TO PLAY THE BEST BRAWLER:1. Throw pickaxe at walls so that it returns faster. If you throw it normally it takes a long time to return leaving you exposed. This means that at close range aiming is usually better that auto aiming. This is the number one thing to do in showdown as otherwise your attack speed is to slow to beat assassins.2. Throw your pickaxe in before you super. This enables you to win some fights that otherwise Carl loses. Make sure that you move so that it hits them on the return as well.3. Throwing around walls lets you get finish easily on unprepared brawlers. To do so throw the pickaxe so that it goes next to the wall, then move so that the wall is between you and the opponent. It will return to you through the wall and hit the opponent.When to super:
Some brawlers are free kills with the super when you are at full health, especially throwers like Barley, Mr. P, Sprout, and Tick if he doesn’t have his super. Otherwise you probably need to weaken them first.CARL COUNTERS
If the Edgar player is smart they can beat you, if you see an Edgar save super to fight or gadget to run when they jump.Now that Emz has buffies she counters Carl, her super pushes you away and will cancel your superDynamike is a 50/50 they win with super or stun gadget but you can get it sometimesObviously don’t super a tank on full health (frank, bibi, buzz, doug) The main exception is Hank, if he doesn’t have super or a bubble fully charged you can usually gadget in and then pop super. A damaged el primo is also possible if he doesn’t have superA good mortis can win if you super on him but many times you can beat themDon’t bother on lily or cordelius unless they just came out of the shadow realm or something and they are 1 hpSpike and Shelly destroy you every time up close you need to dodge and beat them at rangeOther damage dealers like Colt can destroy you fast at rangeMarksmen are usually pretty easy to win if you use super
