Brock

Class: Marksman

Rarity: Rare

Trio: Arcade with 8-Bit and Rico

Best skin: Zeus Brock

Mastery title: "Boom!"

​

Brock is a long-ranged marksman with a very large AOE at the end of his slow projectile. He has good wall breaks, range, and damage, but gets countered if he is fighting at mid range.

​

Health: 2700 to 5400

Movement speed: Normal

​

Main Attack: Rockin' Rocket

"Brock lets fly with a single Rockin' Rocket that really goes the distance."

Damage: 1160 to 2320

Fire damage: 348 to 696 per second

Fire duration: 2 seconds

Range: Long

Reload speed: Slow

Brock's main attack is a long ranged rocket that travels slow and has an explosion at the end of it. The explosion also leaves behind an area of fire, dealing damage over time to enemies standing in it. This attack is very easy to hit at long range, however it is hard to hit at mid range.

​

Super: Rocket Rain

"Brock fires a rocket barrage that takes out enemies and obstacles. He only wants to see you bathing in the Rocket Rain!"

Damage: 9 x 1040 to 2080

Range: Long

Brock's super is a barrage of 9 rockets that can be fired over walls. They deal a good amount of damage and can also break walls over a large area. However, there is a large amount of time between when the super is activated and when the rockets hit the ground, leading to most enemies moving out of the super before it lands.​​

​

Gadget 1: Rocket Laces

"Brock blasts the ground below him and propels himself into the air. The explosion deals 580 damage to nearby enemies."

Cooldown: 15 seconds

This gadget can be versatile for brock, allowing him to knock back brawlers that get close to him, dodge attacks, or even get an assassination play. Brock is mainly countered by assassins or brawlers that can close the gap easily, and this gadget can help in those matchups.​

​

Gadget 2: Rocket Fuel

"Brock's next attack is a mega rocket that is bigger, badder, faster and destroys walls."

Cooldown: 15 seconds

This gadget makes Brock's next attack travel faster, have a bigger blast radius, and break terrain. This is one of the reasons to use Brock, as combined with his super, he can end up opening up the entire map, which benefits him and his long ranged attacks. This gadget is also very good for securing kills, since if it is auto-aimed at long range, it is almost impossible to miss.​

​

Star Power 1: More Rockets!

"Rocket Rain now rains down 44% more rockets."

This star power causes Rocket Rain to have 4 more rockets, raining down 13 in total. It is a very useful star power for Brock, as it makes his super even more devastating to enemies caught inside it.

​

Star Power 2: Rocket No.4

"Brock loads a fourth rocket into his launcher, increasing his ammo capacity (and discarding the thermos bottle he's been keeping in his launcher's fourth tube)."

This star power allows Brock to store up to 4 ammo with his main attack. This can be a useful star power in passive game modes such as Knockout or Bounty, but is not very useful elsewhere. This is because his reload speed is slow, leading to him rarely reloading a fourth rocket.​

​

Hypercharge: Rocket Barrage

"Brock fires a Rocket Barrage, raining down rockets in the targeted area in 4 waves."

Charge rate: 2.5 supers

Speed buff: 26%

Damage buff: 25%

Shield buff: 5%

Brock's hypercharge makes his rockets now fire in waves instead of one at a time with more rockets overall, however the rockets each do less damage. This is a very bad hypercharge, as it rarely does more damage than his regular super. In fact, there are many situations where it does less damage. Often, the best move to make it to activate the hypercharge after the super, as it will still be his normal super, but have the hypercharge damage buff.

​

Epic Gear: Reload Speed

This gear increases Brock's reload speed by 15%.

 

Gear selection:

Brock has a very easy gear selection. Reload and shield are the best gears for him. His slow reload speed allows him to get a good benefit from the reload speed gear, and his low HP gives the shield gear more value.

Best Matchups:

Brock can be a good counter to spawnables, since his flames will greatly increase his main attack damage. Some of the best matchups for him are 8-Bit, since it is very easy to hit shots on him due to his slow movement speed, and Jessie, since he outranges her and can easily burst down her turret. Throwers can also be a good matchup for Brock as he can break down their walls, leaving them vulnerable. Barley is a good example of this as his main attacks have low range, leaving him as a sitting duck if he has no walls.

​

Best Counters:

Brock is countered by brawlers who can get in mid range fights with him easily. Max is easily one of the best since she is fast enough to easily dodge his attacks and close the gap on him. Stu is also a good counter if he is able to get his super, as he will be able to dash around Brock's shots. For a more long ranged counter, Nani is the best option since she is one of the few brawlers that outranges Brock, and she can reflect his high damage projectile back to him with Return to Sender.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Brock's best game modes are Knockout and Bounty, as these game modes favor long range brawlers such as Brock. His wallbreaks can help out his team and enable other marksmen to dominate. He is also useful in Heist, as both his main attack and super can deal a large amount of damage to the heist safe.

​

Tips and Tricks:

• Try to stay at long range with Brock, as his projectiles have a big blast radius but slow speed, allowing enemy brawlers to easily dodge the rockets at mid range.

• Using Brock's hypercharge after his super allows for his normal super to have the hypercharge damage boost, which is overall more useful than the hypercharge super.

• Sometimes it is better to break open the map on your side rather than the enemies side, as this can allow for the enemies to have a harder time spawn trapping you.

• If you are focusing on one brawler with your main attacks and there is someone else in range, you can quickly fire the super to the other enemy to catch them off guard, leading to a higher chance that they will be hit by his super.

• Brock's Rocket Laces gadget can allow Brock to dodge many high damage abilities, such as Mandy's super or Piper's Homemade Recipe gadget. This gadget can be very useful to waste those abilities.

• Since Brock's Rocket Fuel gadget travels faster and has a bigger blast radius, it is almost a guaranteed hit at long range if auto aimed, which can help secure a kill or even just secure a hit to force the opponents back.​
