Spike | Best Build

In-Depth

Spike is a Legendary Brawler known for his unique cactus-inspired design and high damage potential. He throws cactus grenades that explode on impact, scattering spikes in multiple directions to deal damage over a wide area. His Super, “Stick Around,” creates a field of slowing spikes, making it difficult for enemies to escape or advance. Why Spike is Good 1. Area Control: His attack covers a large area, making him effective at controlling the battlefield and zoning out opponents. 2. High Burst Damage: Spike’s spread of spikes after each attack can shred through grouped enemies, dealing impressive burst damage. 3. Super Utility: The slowing effect of his Super makes him excellent at supporting teammates by trapping or slowing down enemy brawlers, making them easy targets. 4. Adaptability: Spike’s versatility allows him to be effective in various modes like Gem Grab, Bounty, and Showdown. His attacks work well both close-up and at a distance, giving him an edge in a range of situations. Spike does best with careful aim to maximize the number of spikes hitting the enemy, and his ability to sustain damage without direct contact makes him highly valuable in many team setups. Overall, he’s one of the strongest Brawlers due to his balance of damage, control, and versatility.
