Colette

Class: Damage Dealer

Rarity: Epic

Trio: Gift Shop with Edgar and Griff

Best skin: Inspector Colette

Mastery title: "The Collector"

​

Colette is a mid-ranged brawler that excels at dealing damage to high-health brawlers with her main attack and finishing them off with her super. Her kit revolves around her percentage-based damage. She also has a great combo with her main attack and super that can get an almost guaranteed kill on most brawlers in the game, regardless of health.

​

Health: 3400 to 6800

Movement speed: Normal

​

Main Attack: Taxing Shot

"Gale blasts a large snow ball wall at his enemies!"

Damage: 37% of opponent's current HP

Minimum Damage: 500 to 1000

Damage to special targets: 1000 to 2000

Range: Long

Reload speed: Normal

Colette's main attack deals damage based on the enemies' current HP, making her attack deal a ton of damage against high HP brawlers. This damage, doesn't actually increase with leveling her up, only her minimum damage increases. It also deals double the damage to special targets, such as the Heist safe or turrets. It is a very fast projectile with good width, making very easy to hit on enemies.

​

Super: Time To Collect

"Colette makes a dash forth and back, dealing taxing damage to everyone in her path, based on their maximum health."

Damage: 20% of opponent's max HP

Minimum Damage: 500 to 1000

Damage to special targets: 2000 to 4000

Range: Very Long

Colette's super is very useful for finishing off brawlers, as it can hit them twice and deals 20% of their max HP each time it hits. It also deals a ton of damage against special targets, making it incredibly good in Heist. Since she also dashes back and forth with it, it can also be used to pick up Gems in Gem Grab.

​

Gadget 1: Na-Ah!

"Colette's next shot deals extra 1500 damage."

Cooldown: 10 seconds

This gadget is great for having Colette deal more damage on brawlers that have low HP, as it just adds more damage to her main attack. The short cooldown also helps it be spammed very effectively. However, it is very overshadowed by her other gadget.​

​

Gadget 2: Gotcha!

"On activation, Colette's shots heal herself for 5 seconds for 80% of the damage dealt."

Cooldown: 17 seconds

This gadget is amazing for Colette, giving her a ton of lifesteal with her attacks. This can make her nearly unkillable against high health brawlers, as she will be healing over half her max HP each time she hits them. It is also useful for pretty much every interaction, as she will often live when she shouldn't have. The average cooldown is also great for her, as she can use it in most combat scenarios.

​

Star Power 1: Push It

"All enemy Brawlers hit by Colette's charge are carried to the farthest point of the attack!"

This star power is very strong, as it gives Colette a way to knock back enemy brawlers with her super. It also pretty much guarantees she will hit the enemy twice, recharging her super even more effectively and dealing more damage.

​

Star Power 2: Mass Tax

"Colette's Super gives her a 20% shield for 5.0 seconds. Every enemy Brawler hit by it will add 10% more protection."

This is a great star power for Colette, specifically in Heist, as you will often be using your super on the safe. Even just hitting one enemy twice gives you a 40% shield, which is incredibly strong, and the safe also counts as an enemy.

​

Hypercharge: Teen Spirit

"Colette's spirit follows her during her dash, damaging enemies on the way."

Charge rate: 3 and 1/2 supers

Speed buff: 26%

Damage buff: 25%

Shield buff: 5%

This hypercharge turns Colette into a super cycling machine, as the clone also charges up her super. Both her normal super and her clone charge her super by 25%, allowing for her to fully cycle it if all 4 hits connect. The clone doesn't actually deal as much damage as her normal super against brawlers, only 1000 per hit, but the cycling potential it gives her is invaluable. It also makes her even stronger on Heist, as the clone will allow her to deal double the damage of her normal super.

​​​

Gear selection:

Colette's best gear is damage, as her already high damage synergizes great with the damage gear's ability. Shield is also great for her, as she has relatively low health, however other options like gadget gear or speed gear aren't out of the question.

​

Best Matchups:

Colette is made to go up against tanks, as the higher the HP, the more damage Colette will deal. She can negate their HP, as it becomes essentially the same as every other brawler. Frank and El Primo are both almost 100-0 matchups for Collette. She also does good into any generally high HP brawler, so brawlers like 8-Bit get destroyed by her as well.

​

Best Counters:

Colette is best countered by brawlers with an easy to activate healing ability, as they make her unable to perform her kill combo. Griff and Stu with their Business Resilience and Gaso Heal star powers respectively do a great job at this, as they provide small but constant healing, making her unable to kill them as she would kill other brawlers. Crow is another great matchup into Colette, as he can reduce her damage with his Extra Toxic star power, dodge her shots easily with his fast movement speed, and chip her down while also reducing the healing from her Gotcha! gadget.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Colette's best mode is Heist, as her super and hypercharge deal massive damage to the safe. Her hypercharge deals 25% of the safe's HP, which is one full shield. She can also be good anywhere where high-HP brawlers are played, such as Brawl Ball or Hot Zone.​

​

Tips and Tricks:

• With the exception of Heist, Colette should only be used to counter high health brawlers, so she should only be considered if going against 1 or more brawlers with over 8000 HP.

• Both Colette's main attack and super charge her super up 25% per hit. This allows for her to hit 2 shots after a super if her super connects to fully cycle.

• With Colette's main attack and super, she can hit an enemy twice with her main attack and twice with her super to kill them if they don't have an ability to heal or reduce her damage.

• Colette's best counters are brawlers who can either heal off or reduce her damage, as they make her combo not kill them.

• The biggest counter to Colette is the shield gear, as it her combo doesn't work against it thanks to its essentially giving extra health that her main attack doesn't count.

• Try to get as much value out of Colette's hypercharge on Heist by using it at either 100, 75, 50, or 25 percent, as the safe's shield will block potential damage.

• Colette's super is very prone to hitting walls, so try to use it in more open areas to not waste it by hitting a wall.

• Colette's hypercharge can fully cycle itself with her Push It star power if you hit an enemy, making it great for teamwipes. 

• You can also use Colette's super to collect Gems in Gem Grab, as she can return back to her original location safely.
