Lily

Class: Assassin

Rarity: Mythic

Trio: Enchanted Woods with Trunk and Cordelius

Best skin: Knight Lily

Record title: "Backstabber"

​​

Lily is a very sneaky assassin that excels at instantly killing squishy brawlers. She excels in 1v1 fights, and can be a very unpredictable brawler with her first gadget, however she does have incredibly short range.

​

Health: 4200 to 8400

Movement speed: Very Fast

​​

Trait: Charges super while enemies are close by.

​

Main Attack: Thorn In The Side

"Lily stabs in front of her with her thorns, dealing damage."

Damage: 1060 to 2120

Range: Short

Reload Speed: Very Fast

Lily's main attack works differently from other brawlers in that she only has 2 ammo slots rather than 3. The attack also has one of the shortest ranges in the game, making it very hard to use in longer ranged maps. However, it deals solid damage, and unloads itself extremely fast, making Lily have incredibly high burst damage even with just 2 ammo.​

​

Super: Flourish

"Throw a seed in a straight line. If it hits an enemy, Lily teleports behind them."

Damage: 500 to 1000

Range: Long

Lily's super is perfect for assassinations, teleporting her behind enemies hit by the seed. It also deals some damage when it hits. This super is great for getting Lily in range of her main attack, allowing her to quickly burst down brawlers that are hit by her super. It can also be charged more easily through her proximity charge trait, making it easier to cycle through as long as you are nearby enemies.

​

Gadget 1: Vanish

"Lily enters the Shadow Realm for 3 seconds."

Cooldown: 22 seconds

This is an incredibly strong gadget for Lily, giving her insane survivability, assassination potential, and unpredictability. It has a multitude of use cases, mostly being to gain position while being undetectable, sneak up on enemies, and allowing Lily to easily disengage. It is one of the best gadgets in the game, even with a long cooldown, as it gets immense value every time it is used, and has a wide selection of use cases.

​

Gadget 2: Interlude

"The next Flourish, becomes a thrown attack, and Lily teleports to the destination on impact."

Cooldown: 10 seconds

This gadget turns Lily's super into a throwable projectile, and the super also now deals double the damage. The damage boost isn't actually that impactful, as the super doesn't deal much damage anyways, and the extra mobility is mediocre at best. Overall, this gadget is completely outclassed by Vanish.

​​​

Star Power 1: Spiky

"After teleporting to an enemy, Lily's next attack deals 1060 more damage."

This is a great star power for Lily, making her burst damage even deadlier. Her next attack after she hits her super deals 50% extra damage, allowing her to insta-kill even more brawlers. However, dealing too much damage can sometimes be a bad thing, as it makes Lily worse at cycling through her supers since she doesn't need to hit as many shots.

​

Star Power 2: Vigilance

"Gain 15% movement speed while an enemy is in her Super charge radius."

This is an incredibly strong star power for Lily, giving her a huge movement speed boost if there is an enemy in her charging radius. It allows for her to dodge more shots, catch up to enemies better, disengage from fights easier, and overall makes her even more of a nuisance to deal with since she already has a very fast movement speed.

​

Hypercharge: Germinate

"Lily's Flourish now bounces off walls, and transports the enemy and Lily to the Shadow Realm for 5 seconds."

Charge rate: 2 and 6/7 supers

Lily's hypercharge is incredibly strong, pretty much guaranteeing a kill on enemies hit. The shadow realm makes it so that enemies can't use their super, gadget, or hypercharge to defend against Lily, and are only left with their main attack, which isn't enough most of the time. The projectile also travels incredibly fast, making auto-aim almost a guaranteed hit, and the bounce aspect can allow for some creative plays. It also charges relatively fast, as a skilled Lily player will be efficiently cycling through her supers.​​​​​​​

​

Gear selection:

Gadget gear is the best gear for Lily, giving her more opportunities to use her Vanish gadget, which is incredibly strong. Shield and damage are both great second choices depending if you want more survivability or damage with Lily, however shield is often better due to Lily being an assassin.

Other good abilities to buy:

​

Best Matchups:

Lily can almost instantly delete most squishy brawlers that get hit by her super, and she can also use her Vanish gadget to engage or disengage effectively on them. Brawler such as Byron, Belle, and Colt are especially vulnerable to Lily's assassination capabilities, and she can also dodge their shots well thanks to Lily's Vigilance star power and very fast movement speed.

​

Best Counters:

Lily is best countered by tanks or tank counters with high burst damage, as they can often survive her super and either kill Lily or force her to disengage. Brawlers such as R-T, Bull, and Shelly are very hard for Lily to target, as they have high health and burst damage, and the only counterplay Lily has is a well-timed Vanish to dodge their damage skills.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Lily is an incredibly strong assassin in Gem Grab, as her super and especially her hypercharge are devastating to the enemy gem carrier, being almost a guaranteed kill if done right, and she can even use her Vanish gadget to collect the gems and disengage easily. She is also strong on Heist with her Vanish gadget being able to easily get her on top of the safe, and her main attack also has a very fast reload speed, making her dangerous to leave alone on the safe.​

​

Tips and Tricks:

• Playing unpredictably with Lily is key to winning. Slip into bushes undetected, and assassinate any squishy brawler you come across.

• Use Vanish as both a great engage and disengage tools in combat. For engages, try to predict enemy movement, and don't go in recklessly into multiple opponents unless you know you can win the interaction.

• Vigilance is a great star power for increasing Lily's mobility, especially on Heist or on maps with lots of walls, as walls make it easier to keep enemies inside of her charging radius.

• Cycling supers is a very important part of Lily's gameplay. She is reliant on hitting her supers and subsequent main attack to deal damage throughout the game, as she has incredibly short range otherwise. This makes it incredibly punishing to miss her super, so make sure you aim it properly.

• Lily's hypercharge forces any brawler it hits to be put in a 1v1 with her in the shadow realm. This makes it incredibly hard for them to win as they don't have any help from their teammates, and don't have access to their super, gadget, and hypercharge, making it very hard for them to deal with Lily. However, Lily can't cycle any of her super back in the shadow realm, meaning she will pop out with none of her super charged.

• Make sure not to waste Lily's Vanish gadget, as it has a very long cooldown, and Lily is quite vulnerable while it is on cooldown.

• Use damage calculation to determine which brawlers you can kill in 1 super and 2 ammo, as that is Lily's instant burst potential if she hits her super. Using Spiky also increases this threshold, so keep that in mind.

• Use Vanish move into bushes completely undetected, surprising enemies and forcing them back.

• You can also use Vanish to dodge incoming attacks, and choose to either flank the enemies or run away while in the shadow realm.
