The BEST Shelly Guide: Master Her Skills And Secure Your First Tier MAX brawler!

A guide from Tomar753 ?Of course not! 😆 I’m no noob—my Shelly is sitting at R42 with 833 trophies, 7 trophies shy of R43! So, I promise you’re in good hands here.OverviewShelly fires a wide spread of shotgun pellets as her main attack, which deals more damage the closer you are to her. At point-blank range, her attack can dish out a whopping 3,000 damage! With 7,400 health, she’s tough to take down, and her reload speed and range are fairly average.But here’s where she really shines: her Super! It’s similar to her basic attack but far more devastating. At close range, it deals a massive 5,760 damage, and with its knockback effect, it can one-shot 19 brawlers in the game! When used right, Shelly’s super can turn the tide of any match. 😈Personality"Fantastico!"🌟
Shelly is the very first brawler you get in Brawl Stars and the only common rarity brawler in the game. She’s a tough sharpshooter straight out of the wild west🤠, always on the front lines maintaining order in the chaotic Brawl Stars universe. Whether she’s chasing outlaws or teaming up with new brawlers, Shelly’s got it covered. And let’s be real—she kinda has a grudge against Colt for stealing all the limelight!😒Oh, and if you didn’t know, Shelly’s original language is Spanish, which explains her iconic voice lines like "¡Así me gusta!" (That’s how I like it).Best BuildDiscover the build that makes Shelly the most dangerous brawler in any situation.💪Gadget: Clay Pigeon.
While her first gadget lets her dash forward 3 tiles, her Clay Pigeons gadget is the real star. It thins out her attack, extending her range to 10 tiles for 5 seconds—that’s the same as Piper's range! This gives Shelly incredible reach, letting her hunt down fleeing enemies🏃 and pick off brawlers from a distance. Star power: Band-Aid.
For Star Powers, both options can be useful, but I recommend Band-Aid for Shelly. Since Shelly is built for Showdown, survival is key, and Band-Aid gives her a significant edge. When Shelly’s health drops low, Band-Aid instantly heals 2000 HP, giving you a better chance to recover and win tight battles, especially when both you and your opponent are low on health.🥵While Shell Shock is also decent, it shines more in 1v1 scenarios, as it slows enemies down, making them easier to target. Combine it with Clay Pigeons for long-range attacks, and it can often secure you a free kill⚔️. Overall, Band-Aid provides more value in Showdown due to its survival boost.Gear #1: Damage gear.
The Damage Gear increases Shelly’s damage when her health is low, giving her a critical edge in intense fights. Paired with Band-Aid, it allows her to stay aggressive and secure kills even in risky situations. Gear #2: Gadget charge.
As I explained, the Clay Pigeons gadget is unique, So adding a 4th is essential for Shelly. It allows for more frequent ranged attacks and helps her chain supers more effectively, maximizing her control from a distance.👌Pro Tips & TricksMaster the tips that only Pros use to dominate opponents.🤫#1. Shell Shock + Clay pigeon = 100% easy kill.
This combo is excellent for solo kills. While the other Star Power may be better overall, this one slows enemies, making it perfect for stacking damage. Paired with the gadget, it lets you deal massive damage using auto-aim, as slowed opponents won’t have the speed to dodge your shots.😎#2. Don’t Waste Your Super
Shelly’s Super is her strongest ability, and wasting it can leave her vulnerable. Use it wisely for maximum impact:1.Deal Massive Damage: At close range, Shelly’s Super can obliterate enemies instantly. Use it to finish brawlers with its high burst damage.
2.Disrupt Enemy Abilities: Shelly’s Super can cancel enemy supers, like Frank’s, or force opponents to drop the ball in Brawl Ball, giving your team a big advantage.
3.Clear Obstacles: Break walls or bushes to expose enemies and deny them cover. This is especially useful for controlling the map in modes like Showdown or Gem Grab.
4. Super Trick shot: Use super to break walls and knockback enemies then immediately shoot the ball. this will help you clutch at insane moments and catch enemies off guard.🙀Using your Super at the right moment can turn the tide of battle, so always think before firing!#3.Always Play Bushy Maps.
Shelly performs best on maps with plenty of bushes and walls, where she can close the gap and deal devastating damage. Use bushes and walls to your advantage for ambushes and defense. Avoid destroying helpful cover, but if that gives the opponent an edge, then do it.✅Good & Bad Matchups.Know who Shelly excels against and which brawlers you should be cautious of.

After respawning, Don’t rush the center immediately, as Shelly is weak without her Super. Instead, head to the outer edges to collect 1-2 power cubes, even if challenged.
