2024-11-29
Shade, the newest Epic Brawler in Brawl Stars has arrived, and in this guide we'll take a look at his attacks, stats, and skills and create the best build possible. Shade is a close-range assassin can attack through walls and hover over water. Additionally, his Super lets him move through enemies and the environment to reach his intended target. Without further ado, let's take a look at Shade, the newest Epic Brawler in Brawl Stars.
To unlock Shade in Brawl Stars, players must unlock him for 925 credits (or 169 gems) when he releases on Thursday, December 5th, 2024. Make sure that Shade is your selected brawler on Starr Road to ensure your credits go towards unlocking him. You can also potentially unlock him Starr Drop with a Mythic (6.33%) or Legendary (10.87%) rarity.
Shade is also available for Early Access beginning on Thursday, November 28th, 2024 for $14.99. Overall, the Value Pack includes Shade, eight pins, a new spray, 5,000 coins, 80 gems, and a Cinema Shade skin.
Brawl Stars Shade Guide – All Attacks, Stats Per Level
Shade's Main attack, Haunted Hug, is a short-range, high-damage dealing attack that takes a brief moment to wind up. Like Frank, you need to wait for a slight delay before Shade's attack launches. Also, like Frank's attack, it fires off in an arc, with Shade's attack covering the area in front of him (150 degrees wide). Furthermore, enemies who stand in the center of this arc receive twice the damage.
Like Eve, Angelo, and Juju, Shade possesses a trait that lets him hover over the water. However, Shade possesses a second trait, which enables him to charge his Super by being near enemies (same radius as Buzz).
Shade's Super, Incorporeal Form, dashes him forward and enables him to move through objects temporarily. Additionally, he receives a speed boost, making it easier for him to hunt down enemies and knock them out.
For Star Powers, we prefer Spooky Speedster. You won't be spending an entire match using Hardened Hoodie because you won't be in incorporeal form. Spooky Speedster can help you at any time and does not require your super to be activated. Furthermore, the 30% damage reduction won't help Shade survive if he's riskily going into enemy territory. Plus, the speed bonus should help you escape or continue your attack.
For Gears, we prefer Damage to help Shade in a pinch. Furthermore, the Speed Gear might help this brawler move faster in the grass. If not, use a Shield Gear or Health Gear to increase your chances of survival.
Brawl Stars Juju Guide – What Modes Should I NOT Use Shade In?
Bounty/Knockout/Wipeout
Generally, these three modes tend to favor long range brawlers who can deal damage from afar. If Shade can get close, he might be a problem. However, making the trek to the other side of the map while staying alive is difficult. Furthermore, once you reach an enemy brawler, you better hope they do not have a way to stun, silence, or knock you back.
Overall, that wraps up our Brawl Stars Shade Guide. We wish you luck in unlocking him. And we hope you enjoy using Shade!
