Learn which ones you should be using to crush your opponents in our tier list below.
Mutations Tier List
We’ve ranked all 40 of the Mutations in Brawl Stars below from best to worst.
S Tier
Carl gains increased speed during Tailspin, and his Pickaxe is also faster
Carl’s Mutation
Carl turns into a speed demon. When he pops his Super, he zips across the map so fast, opponents can barely blink. Super broken, super fun!
Ruffs’ basic attacks bounce more times
Ruff’s Mutation
Ruffs’ shots bounce more, hitting enemies you weren’t even aiming for. Great for crowded fights where his laser beams keep the pressure on from all angles.
Meg adds 2 additional projectiles to her Target Acquired
Meg’s Mutation
Meg now fires extra projectiles, ramping up her damage a lot. She shreds through groups like paper, making her a top pick for heavy firepower.
Stu’s Nitro Boost is permanently charged
Stu’s Mutation
Stu’s Super is always ready, letting him dash around non-stop. He’s practically untouchable, dodging attacks and healing up super quick. Total game-changer.
Melodie can have 2 additional notes orbiting her, and her notes last longer
Melodie’s Mutation
Melodie’s Mutation adds two notes that stick around longer, upping her damage as she dances around foes. It’s a constant barrage that’s tough to escape.
Tick’s Headfirst now spawns 2 additional heads
Tick’s Mutation
Tick’s Super now unleashes three heads instead of one. It’s chaos for anyone caught in the blast, perfect for locking down areas.
Angelo adds 2 additional projectiles to his Take Aim
Angelo’s Mutation
Angelo fires two extra shots each time, boosting his damage through the roof. In team battles, he’s a beast, especially with his poison adding extra sting.
A Tier
Eve spawns two hatchlings when getting hit
Eve’s Mutation
Eve spawns hatchlings whenever she’s hit, creating chaos with extra minions. While powerful against projectile-heavy brawlers, her base weakness keeps this from being S-tier.
Hank automatically triggers his Super’s projectiles whenever he’s damaged
Hank’s Mutation
When Hank takes damage, he automatically fires torpedoes. This reactive firepower is massive, especially combined with his shield gadget, but lacks his usual healing, keeping him just shy of top-tier.
All Rico’s projectiles bounce moreRico’s Mutation
Rico’s shots bounce endlessly, turning any enclosed space into a death trap. This mutation shines in game modes where he can continuously harass enemies from a safe spot.
Max has unlimited ammo
Max’s Mutation
Max’s endless ammo lets her maintain relentless pressure with rapid-fire bursts, ideal for her hit-and-run style. This constant barrage makes her a formidable opponent.
Nita summons another Bruce
Nita’s Mutation
Nita can summon an extra bear with her Super, doubling the chaos. Paired with a hypercharged Bruce, this creates immense pressure by depleting enemy ammo and dominating the field.
El Primo’s Flying Elbow Drop has faster travel time, and he has an increased Super Charge and health
El Primo’s Mutation
El Primo’s faster Super and enhanced health make him a tank that can rapidly cycle his powerful leaps, maintaining constant aggression. However, it’s just not as game-breaking as S-tier abilities.
Ash spawns more Little Helpers, and he has an increased Super Charge
Ash’s Mutation
Ash spawns more Little Helpers, ramping up his rage and damage output quickly. This keeps him in a perpetually enraged state, boosting his speed and attack, making him a relentless brawler.
Colt’s Six-Shooters can destroy terrain and has more range
Colt’s Mutation
Colt’s shots break terrain and his range is increased, which is revolutionary in modes like Heist. However, his predictability in 1v1 situations holds him back from the top ranks.
Piper’s gunbrella shoots twice
Piper’s Mutation
Piper gets an extra shot, greatly enhancing her burst damage. Paired with the right gadgets, she becomes more lethal, but she’s still situational, reliant on maintaining distance.
Brock fires another rocket with Rockin’ Rocket
Brock’s Mutation
Brock fires an extra rocket with his attacks, increasing his damage output. While this is great for damaging stationary targets and in Heist, his rockets are still generally avoidable.
Spike’s Needle Grenade splits into more projectiles
Spike’s Mutation
Spike throws out double the needles, making it nearly impossible to dodge his attacks, especially with Curveball. High damage over time makes him annoying but not game-dominating like the S-tier options.
B Tier
Poco heals himself and allies around him over time when getting hit
Poco’s Mutation
When Poco gets hit, he heals himself and nearby allies, although the heal amount is small. Constant heals make him tough to take down.
Gray can have up to 6 active Dimensional Doors at a time, and he has an increased Super Charge
Gray’s Mutation
Gray’s mutation gives him up to six teleports, offering insane mobility and team utility in modes like Hot Zone or Heist. However, it’s situational and not always impactful.
Bea’s Big Sting now also fires a Rattled Hive projectile
Bea’s Mutation
Bea’s shots generate a protective swarm of bees around her, which is great for personal defense and area denial. This one’s more of an annoyance than a game-changer.
Bonnie’s Loose Tooth fires 2 additional projectiles, and her star launcher stuns on impact
Bonnie’s Mutation
Bonnie shoots additional projectiles, and her Super stuns enemies, ramping up her damage potential. She’s strong in the right hands but requires precise timing to maximize impact.
Janet drops way more bombs during her Crescendo, and she has an increased Super Charge
Janet’s Mutation
Janet’s Super drops more bombs, and she charges it faster too. Recently buffed, this makes her a significant threat from afar, but she struggles in direct confrontations.
Pam has unlimited ammo
Pam’s Mutation
Pam never runs out of ammo, which sounds great, but her wide shot spread means it’s hard to land consistent hits unless you’re up close.
Sprout throws an additional Seed Bomb with each attack
Sprout’s Mutation
Sprout now fires two shots per ammo, doubling his output. This can be effective for controlling space, but the top mutations outshine his due to their versatility in combat.
Frank is faster, has more health, and his hammer hit breaks walls
Frank’s Mutation
Frank moves faster, has more health, and can break walls, which enhances his tankiness and mobility. However, his delayed attack still makes it hard for him to secure kills efficiently.
Crow’s Switchblade now returns to him 
Crow’s Mutation
Crow’s main attack returns to him, effectively doubling potential damage. This can significantly increase his Super charge rate, making him a persistent threat, but it’s not consistently advantageous in all setups.
C Tier
Gale’s Polar Vortex is now wider
Gale’s Mutation
Gale’s main attack doubles in width, making it nearly impossible to miss and often slowing enemies with his Star Power. Strong but not a game-changer without more damage.
Bo can have unlimited mines on the battlefield, and he has an increased Super Charge
Bo’s Mutation
Bo can plant endless mines that stay until triggered, great for area denial. However, his reliance on setting traps rather than direct combat keeps this mutation from higher tiers.
Rosa spawns bushes around her when using Strong Stuff
Rosa’s Mutation
When Rosa uses her Super, she creates a large area of bushes, boosting her stealth and ambush capabilities. It’s creative but slow to charge, making it less reliable.
Shelly’s shotgun fires twice
Shelly’s Mutation
Shelly fires her shotgun twice with each trigger pull, which can decimate opponents with the right Gadget. However, its effectiveness drops sharply once her Gadget runs out.
Lola spawns an additional Ego when using Megalomaniac, and she has an increased Super Charge
Lola’s Mutation
Lola gets another Ego, but its random placement lessens its potential impact. While it can create interesting plays, there are simply more consistent mutations available.
Surge reaches max level with just one use of Party Tricks, and he has an increased Super Charge
Surge’s Mutation
Surge instantly maxes out his upgrade levels with his Super, maintaining them throughout the game. It’s a solid boost but pales next to brawlers with more dynamic stat increases.
D Tier
Buzz’s Torpedo Throw has increased range
Buzz’s Mutation
Buzz’s Super can reach across the map, but without his stun, this extended range doesn’t translate into more control or effectiveness in battles, as charging it remains challenging.
Grom Bomb fires 4 additional projectiles in an X-shape, and he has an increased Super Charge
Grom’s Mutation
Grom’s Super adds four more projectiles, which looks great but doesn’t increase damage. The only perk is a faster Super charge, which isn’t enough to make a significant impact.
Belle’s Shocker splits into 5 additional Shockers on impact
Belle’s Mutation
Belle’s shots split into five upon hitting a target, potentially hitting more enemies but not increasing her DPS. It’s a nice idea that, in reality, rarely provides real benefits.
Squeak’s Big Blob now spawns Sticky Bombs, and he has an increased Super Charge
Squeak’s Mutation
Squeak’s Super spreads like his main attack, covering more area but without any damage or charge rate increase. It’s visually impactful but lacks practical effectiveness.
Mandy adds 2 additional projectiles to her Sugar Ray
Mandy’s Mutation
Mandy’s shots split into three directions, aiming for a wider hit range. Cool in theory, but in practice, it often misses and reduces overall accuracy, rarely hitting multiple targets effectively.
Leon spawns 2 clones after using his Smoke Bomb
Leon’s Mutation
Leon spawns two clones when he goes invisible, which ironically makes it obvious he’s used his Super and negates his stealth advantage. The clones add little strategic value.
Penny deploys an additional cannon with Old Lobber
Penny’s Mutation
Penny can deploy an extra turret, but both firing simultaneously makes them easy to dodge. Her mutation doesn’t enhance her Super charge speed, limiting its utility.
