Jacky

Class: Tank

Rarity: Super Rare

Trio: Miner with Dynamike and Carl

Best skin: El Quarterback

Mastery title: "#@%**"

​

Jacky is a simple brawler, as there is no need to aim any of her attacks. She excels at running down opponents with her high HP and pulling them in for the kill with her damage reflection.

​

Health: 4700 to 9400

Movement speed: Fast

​

Main Attack: Groundbreaker

"Jacky hops on her Jackhammer to shake the ground all around. Enemies caught too close will get a pounding!"

Damage: 1240 to 2480

Range: Short

Reload speed: Normal

Jacky's main attack is very simple, as it is just a circle around her that deals damage. It can also go through walls, but has a very short range, so it requires good positioning to hit.

​

Super: Holey Moley!

"Jacky drills a hole in the ground, pulling in foes to introduce them to her Jackhammer!"

Range: Medium

Similar to her main attack, Jacky's super is a circle that pulls in enemies, which is great for her since she has a very short ranged attack. The pulling speed is quite fast, allowing Jacky to get swift kills on unsuspecting targets.​

​​

Trait: Charges super from taking damage(aka tank trait)

​

Gadget 1: Pneumatic Booster

"Jacky gets a burst of energy and moves 25% faster for 4 seconds."

Cooldown: 15 seconds

This is a great gadget for tank such as Jacky, as it allows her to close the gap on enemies much easier. It can also be used to gain initial position, and it even has a pretty short cooldown. It is very beneficial to spam this gadget off cooldown as you can always use it, and there is almost no downside to having it on cooldown.

​

Gadget 2: Rebuild

"Jacky rebuild the environment in a small radius around her."

Cooldown: 11 seconds

This is a very cheesy gadget, however it is terrible. It only works against specific brawlers, and the rebuilding radius is extremely small. Her other gadget synergizes with her kit much more, making this gadget redundant.​

​

Star Power 1: Counter Crush

"When receiving damage, Jacky returns the favor by converting 30% of the damage into a Groundbreaker counterattack."

This star power is a key part of Jacky's kit, as it allows her to passively deal damage at close range, which can result in her winning many more matchups. It actually has slightly more range than her main attack, so it can technically extend her attack range. This star power is great for allowing Jacky to win more matchups and overcome her main attack's mediocre damage.

​

Star Power 2: Hardy Hard Hat

"Jacky's Hard Hat protects her by reducing any damage she takes by 20%."

This is a pretty good star power, as it makes Jacky essentially have more base HP. However, Counter Crush is still often better, and this star power should only be used on more open maps or against her counters where Jacky can't really get close to the opponents. However, Jacky should almost never be used on open maps.

​

Hypercharge: Seismic Event

"Holey Moley slows down enemies around Jacky for 1.5 seconds."

Charge rate: 2 and 1/2 supers

Speed buff: 25%

Damage buff: 5%

Shield buff: 25%

This is a great hypercharge for Jacky, as the slowdown makes it even harder for the enemies to escape from Jacky. It also slows in a larger radius than her super, meaning you don't have to be in her super's range to be slowed. Jacky also does great with the stat buffs, allowing her to run down opponents even more effectively.

​

Epic Gear: Super Charge

This gear increases Jacky's overall super charge rate by 10%.

 

Gear selection:

Jacky's super charge gear isn't as good as it is on most brawlers as her super already charges fast, and it doesn't increase her damage output. Her best gears are speed and damage, and on non-bushy maps, gadget cooldown gear is great as you can spam Pneumatic Booster even more.

​

Best Matchups:

Jacky does best into brawlers who can't deal with her pressure or close ranged brawlers that don't deal much damage. Gus is a brawler that doesn't deal much damage, and even though he can knock her back, he is still prone to getting run down by her. Jacky also does great into Buzz, as Counter Crush still works even if she is stunned, resulting in him often killing himself. Shade is also countered by Jacky due to her being too tanky for him to kill, and the fact that her super can pull him in through walls, and she can even attack him behind walls.​

​

Best Counters:

Jacky gets countered by brawlers who have too much HP for her to kill. She does decent into damage dealers with her Counter Crush star power, but it often isn't enough to deal with tanks. Rosa and Frank are great counters as pulling them close won't get Jacky anywhere, and she doesn't have the damage to kill them. Gale is probably the best tank counter into Jacky as he can keep his distance easily with his fast reload speed, and can crowd control her with almost every aspect of his kit.

​

Best Game Modes: 

Jacky is more map dependent than mode dependent, as she needs a lot of walls and bushes to work. However, her best mode is Brawl Ball, as she is for pressure and is a great goal scorer with her tankiness and super. She is also good on Gem Grab as the maps often favor her, and she can assassinate the gem carrier with her super if they are not careful.

​

Tips and Tricks:

• Jacky is a simple brawler to play, making her great for beginners as she teaches them the importance of positioning, pressure, dodging, and timing for when to go aggressive without having to worry about aim.

• Shoot the ball and immediately use Jacky's super to make the enemy unable to catch the ball in Brawl Ball in front of the goal line.

• Sneak around in bushes with Jacky to get as much positioning as possible, as she can be very fast, deadly, and hard to kill if you don't know where she is.

• Going on the right lane is very important for Jacky. She relies on her environment more than her matchups to succeed.

• Jacky's hypercharge can often result in teamwipes, as it can pull in multiple enemies, deal huge damage, slow them, be chained easily, and Jacky herself gets a speed boost and damage reduction.​
