Brawl Stars Welcomes Shade, the Ultimate Ghostly Brawler

There’s a new brawler creeping into Brawl Stars, and this one is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Meet Shade, the Epic Assassin who’s as mysterious as it gets. Picture a spooky pile of clothes with cool sunglasses that somehow manages to terrify opponents—and you’ve got Shade. Discovered by none other than Gus, Shade was given a name and now haunts Ghost Station alongside his buddy, bringing both power and mystery to the battlefield.

Shade’s Main Attack: Haunted Hug

Shade’s main attack, “Haunted Hug,” sounds cozy, but it’s anything but! With a wide embrace that can damage multiple enemies, Shade’s attack is perfect for dealing steady damage while catching foes off guard. The cool part? The attack does even more damage if enemies are caught in the center of Shade’s hug, making it ideal for those brave enough to get up close. And here’s the kicker—Shade’s hug can reach through walls! No barrier is safe when Shade is around, adding a whole new layer to its sneaky assassin style.

Super Ability: Incorporeal Form

When Shade activates its Super, it steps into the supernatural with “Incorporeal Form.” This ability lets Shade phase out of the physical world, allowing it to move directly through walls and obstacles with a speed boost to top it off. It’s the ultimate way to ambush opponents or make a quick escape, leaving enemies wondering where Shade will pop up next. This ghostly ability makes Shade an unpredictable presence on the field, creating opportunities for sneaky plays and surprise attacks.

Star Powers: Boosting Shade’s Tricks

Shade’s Star Powers add a bit more flair to its haunting tactics, making it even trickier to handle:

• Spooky Speedster: When Shade hits an enemy with the center of its Haunted Hug, it gains a short movement speed boost, making it even harder to catch.
• Hardened Hoodie: Shade gains a 30% damage reduction while in Incorporeal Form, turning it into a nearly untouchable force as it slips through walls and enemies alike.

With these Star Powers, Shade can hit harder, move faster, and stay protected, creating a nightmare for any opponents who try to chase it down.

Gadgets: Expanding Shade’s Reach

Shade’s gadgets take its supernatural abilities up a notch, making its attacks and mobility even more formidable:

• Longarms: This gadget extends Shade’s next attack by 50%, letting it reach farther than ever to pull enemies into that dangerous Haunted Hug.
• Jump Scare: Shade gets extra spooky with this one, slowing down nearby enemies by 30% for a brief time. It’s perfect for setting up attacks or slowing down opponents just enough to make a quick escape.

These gadgets let Shade switch between aggressive plays and strategic setups, adding versatility to its already unpredictable moves.

Walking on Water

Shade’s trait lets it travel over water, giving it even more freedom to roam the battlefield. It’s a small advantage that makes a big difference, allowing Shade to slip away or sneak up on opponents from unexpected angles.
