Role-Based Strategies

Tank (Forward)

Role: Directly carry ball and block enemy attacks

Recommended Brawlers: El Primo, Darryl, Frank, Bull

Key Strategies: - First to enter for ball control - Use health to absorb enemy attacks - Open paths for allies to shoot - Pressure defenders near enemy goal

Don't Do This: Tanks charging alone create 3vs2 situations. Always move with teammates and coordinate attack timing.

Dealer/Assassin (Mid/Flank)

Role: Quickly eliminate enemies and carry or shoot ball

Recommended Brawlers: Bibi, Edgar, Buzz, Mortis

Key Strategies: - Prioritize eliminating enemy dealers - Quickly carry ball to create scoring opportunities - Flank from sides to break enemy defense - Surprise attacks using supers

Caution: Overly aggressive play makes you vulnerable to counters. Always check teammate positions.

Support/Long-Range Dealer (Back)

Role: Support fire and enemy pressure from rear

Recommended Brawlers: Colt, Brock, Jessie, 8-Bit

Key Strategies: - Pressure enemies from safe distance - Cover allies carrying ball - Disrupt enemy supers - Protect goal on defense

Tip: Survival is top priority for supports. Apply pressure while staying alive.

Positioning Guide

On Offense

Ideal Formation: - Tank: Ball carrier or front line - Dealer: Ready to support from flanks - Support: Slightly behind center providing cover

Ball Carrying Tips: 1. Stop and assess situation when getting ball 2. Check ally positions before advancing 3. Pass if facing many enemies (drop ball for ally pickup) 4. Shoot immediately when shooting lane opens

On Defense

Positioning: - 1 player: Right in front of goal (goalkeeper) - 2 players: Block enemy entry from flanks

Defense Principles: 1. Never waste super near goal 2. Control positions blocking enemy shooting angles 3. Counterattack immediately after stealing ball

Map-Specific Strategies

Narrow Maps (Super Stadium type)

Characteristics: Narrow center corridor with few side routes

Recommended Brawlers: Tank-focused (El Primo, Bull)

Strategy: Center breakthrough is key. 2 tanks + 1 dealer composition advantageous.

Wide Maps (Sneaky Fields type)

Characteristics: Large map with many detour routes

Recommended Brawlers: Long-range dealers (Brock, Colt)

Strategy: Utilize side routes and cross passes. Map control important.

Symmetrical Maps

Characteristics: Perfect left-right symmetry with many walls and obstacles

Recommended Brawlers: Wall-piercing brawlers (Sprout, Tick)

Strategy: Cover and pressure using walls. Positioning battles determine outcome.

Advanced Techniques

Own Goal Utilization Use enemy supers or attacks to put ball into opponent's goal. Bait when ball is near enemies.

Ball Pass Intentionally drop ball to pass to better-positioned ally. More efficient than solo play.

Super Save Use super with correct timing from goalkeeper position to block goals. Bibi's super is prime example.

Trick Shot Shoot by bouncing off walls or from unexpected angles. Requires practice but very effective.

Winning in Power League

Ban/Pick Strategy

Brawlers to Ban: Opponent's best brawlers or strongest for the map

Pick Order: 1st - Secure map's strongest brawler 2nd - Brawler fitting team composition 3rd - Counter to opponent

Team Composition

Balanced: Tank 1 + Dealer 1 + Support 1 (most stable) Offensive: Tank 2 + Dealer 1 (advantageous on narrow maps) Pressure: Dealer 2 + Support 1 (advantageous on wide maps)

Common Mistakes and Solutions

Mistake 1: Charging alone Solution: Move with teammates. Remember 3vs3 is advantageous.

Mistake 2: Wasting super in front of goal Solution: Save super as last resort on defense.

Mistake 3: Forced shots Solution: Pass or reposition if angle is bad

Mistake 4: Ignoring enemy spawns Solution: Calculate enemy respawn timing and don't overextend.
