What do you need to know about Pierce in Brawl Stars?

Pierce: The Sniper Lifeguard

According to Supercell, Pierce is a pool lifeguard. However, in reality, he is an exceptional sniper who shoots people instead of saving their lives. He acts as a great companion to Buzz and can "clean up" the pool when there is a lot of mess.

What are the abilities of Pierce in Brawl Stars?

Attack

• Pool Sniper: Pierce fires a strong water projectile at long range. If the shot hits an enemy, Pierce drops a shell close to himself. Once he collects the shell, he gets an automatic reload and fires a shot towards the nearest visible target that pierces through all obstacles. Based on his trait, the last ammo in the clip deals extra damage. However, if the shell is not collected within six seconds, the ammo is depleted.

Super

• Pierce marks an area and, after a slight delay, fires a hit with a piercing shot. Each hit also drops a shell next to Pierce.

What are the Gadgets and Star Powers of Pierce in Brawl Stars?

Gadgets

• Bottomless Mags: This gadget helps in reloading ammo and drops a shell next to Pierce.
• You Only Brawl Twice: A unique gadget, You OnlyBrawl Twice helps Pierce to absorb all shells on the ground. The brawler also gains a shield for each collected, while also pushing back any enemy lurking closeby. It will only take an enemy attack of more damage than the shield's health for it to shatter and deal damage to Pierce.

Star Powers

• Mission Swimpossible: Pierce's last ammo slows down enemies, giving a major advantage to the user.
• Slip n' Snipe: Once a shell is collected, Pierce gains a short burst (one second) of movement speed (15%). This effect adds up with other available speed boost abilities.

Note that Pierce's Hypercharge is yet to be added. However, like other brawlers, players can expect Supercell to introduce Pierce's Hypercharge soon.
