Ash main here, I personally think a part of why nobody plays Ash is how unique he is compared to all of the other tanks. Managing the rage bar is fun once you get used to it and doing crazy damage always feels good, but it is very different compared to much more simple and popular tanks gameplan like Primo, Bibi, Darryl, Frank, etc.
yeah good point!
As a fellow ash main I completely agree with that. Most of my friends think he is too boring simply because they never got to understand on this games most clever mechanics.
I also main ash but I mean I don't think keeping the bar is too hard. Rather, you don't have that instant burst damage other tanks have when you start going aggro
All twelve ash mains rise up!
Ash is a good brawler but his super is not good
I think every Ash main had that moment where with full rage+super you decimated an entire team in seconds which is why he is not as boring as people claim.
This is very true, as an ash main, I like when I basically roll the snowball and decimate the enemy team for their rushing hubris. Also very easy to destroy throwers and sharpshooter with full rage.
@@tcjgaming9813 Exactly, there is also fun tricks you can do with him. An example, would be if you were to double tap super to surround yourself with rats so the rats can tank the hits from sharpshooters as you approach. He can be versatile in the right scenario.
@@generalyoda8325I always get outranged by sharpshooters when I playing him.Its so painful.I think idk how to play with him😭
Ash is the most fun tank to this day. Draco plays similarly but is very boring.
@@franilovic4139 he's a skillless ash, just face it
As an ash main i find ash's gameplay really fun once you get to maintain a full rage bar and can farm the opponent team, thanks to comboing ults and gadgets you can put huge pressure and literally never die while being a team killer. i love ash 🥲
yo same (though i'm not really Ash "main" but i enjoy him a lot), i assume people don't think his super isn't super flashy and/or not impactful (which is not true) so they don't really stick with him. Plus the main attack takes a while to fire and it doesn't deal much damage at rage level 0 (but it almost one shots Tick with max bar and they never expect that because nobody remembers how much damage he can actually deal lmao)
To add insult to injury, we got another medieval tank brawler this year, who has the best song in the game, Frank and Meg got reworks and the last balance change Ash received was on mfing Rotten banana.
damn ash really out here getting cooked from all sides
Ngl I'm a big metal fan, but this song was just so cringe to listen to imo
Okay, who the hell actually uses Rotten Banana seriously? It's essentially a troll gadget 😭
Draco is even worse than ash rn
I think the main reason why Ash is underplayed is because of his learning curve. Lots of other tanks have simple mechanics, while ash has to manage his health & rage at the same time. Also, how the rage meter works isn't fully explained in the game, so lots of people probably don't understand how to play him effectively.
exactly!
Once you get the hang of cycling your super and gadget, hes so fun!!!
I'm not an Ash Main, but I've gotten him maxed out just because of how fun he is
@MythicalForce27 This video may have inspired me to try to learn how to play Ash.
@@donanilao7724 great!
Oh trust me, Ash is the most relatable brawler in brawl stars
everyone angry out here
Agreed
When we were kids, we wanted to be like Edgar
When we became adults, we saw ourselves in Ash
11:41, don’t forget that when there was the larry and lawrie duels glitch, only ash got banned because l&l have a way higher playerbase
Yeah true
Ash was like a literal background character in Brawl stars. As compared to Barry, Barry has more screentime in his short spotlight of the day he got hired into the candy trio, everyone love his personality contrasting with Mandy and Chester as they are playing around while Barry is just being a hard-worker like Ash, but he has more screentime than Ash.
Yeah good point
@@MythicalForce27 Ash deserves some respect.
He definitely does
1:11 crazy how over half the brawlers there are ones i play regularly
thats crazy
Thank you for covering Ash, your video is a perfect explanation for the question in the title. I started maining Ash very later after he got released due to how chromatics used to work, and because of the not very appealing desing I wasn't really interested. However, after I unlocked him I felt frustrated and regretful of missing the chance of obtaining the ninja Ash skin. The reason is simple, I was captivated with the mechanics. He is the brawler that is a vastly different than any other brawler which just have simple gameplay with less diversity of playstyles and the lack of difficulty in these playstyles. You need to know a lot of secret tricks and strategies to use Ash to its peak performance. Even though I know my brawler a lot, Its just too hard to compete in high trophies with him especially if your phone and internet quality is trash just like the brawler itself. Anyway, I got my Ash to rank 30 recently and oh boy wasn't it frustrating being hardstuck with shitty randoms in team modes and teamers in sd. Now im gonna be honest this new trio showdown and krabby patties helped me plenty to achieve this due to the power they give that is necessary to accomplish such an objective. Even though it feels like I cheated a bit I would not have given up on rank 30 anyway and will continue pushing until 35.
And that is why I personally enjoy playing Ash the most compared to other brawlers and it will keep being my favourite brawler no matter what.
This was great to read and congrats on rank 30!
See i could defend otis mains existing but you will NEVER catch me saying ash mains exist
lmaooo
I main ash
Ash main here: What's an Otis main? I only see trolls
Erhem
I got one in my club lol
Ash was released in a post summer update, a low point in the game’s popularity, and was overshadowed by one of the coolest seasons. He is a tank that’s hard to play.
true!
But was played a lot, and i was consistently running into ash players until hypercharges became a thing, maybe a little before then
Ash main here, I think one big reason is that people underestimate his damage. In 800 trophies and in legendary movies, on good ash maps I will see people not immediately try to distance themselves from a full my raged ash. I think people believe it’s a lot harder to get to full rage and dorm play him bc of it
yeah true!
its like keeping distance from meg until they catch you lacking. the movement speed for meg means you probably wont escape.
i imagine the same applies to ash, except he is worse because he moves very fast on rage mode. once they got you, they got you.
The literal only reason I unlocked Ash through the Brawl Pass was because of his Scottish-isk accent and similar look to DemoknightTF2.
Give Ash a rework/Hypercharge so I can enjoy playing him, Supercell. Don't you dare give it Buster first.
Buster had his time in the spotlight, now it’s ash’s time
If only ash wasn’t completely forgotten by supercell
Like Cordelius
hopefully he gets the darryl treatment
@@RealWheezerTF2Nah, Cordy Boy isn't really THAT forgotten, he has no bad skins
Pls get a life 🙏
That ash buff that isnt noticable:
The krabby patties make Ash viable with the insane approach tool, definelty really fun to push him with the modifiers rn
i would agree but i absolutely hate modifiers lol
I'd like to add: Ash is very level dependant. A power 11 ash has everything he's designed to have; but a power 1 ash not only lacks his very important star power and gadget, but him having less health directly translates into less potential rage built from taking damage; which is a very important part of his kit when facing teams who know how to stay out of his range or just needing to burst someone down.
Yeah completely agree!
2:15 i definitely see myself inside lola
🤨
Uhhh… 😬
As an ash main, I'm delighted that he has gained some awareness throughout the community and people are making videos about him. One step closer to not being forgotten...
Yep!
as a "trash tier" mastery enjoiner i have to admit that he is too weak for pleople to try him, one simply dont try to play an f tier brawler and more with him being a little more complex to manage than other tanks
I have always liked these deep analysis for a game as simple on the surface as Brawl Stars, ive been watching your channel for a while and well, my suggestion is that you'd take a look at Surge, his downfall and resurgence as a damage dealer and his unique (stfu Clancy) upgrade system :3
Thank you so much! I’ll see if I’ll cover surge or not
Changes I think Ash should get are buffs to his second sp and second gadget and a buff to his rage so that it doesn't decay as fast
Grumpy 'Mad as Heck' Little Miserable Man
Absolutely me in a spiritual level, I love you Ash. No one truly understands your greatness
Pd: Great Video!
thanks!
I honestly would play him more if he wasn't super weak
Yeah same
Ash was actually very strong last year, in fact he even got a nerf I remember. The meta just doesn't suit him right now, he was strong when Janet & Penny were the best brawlers (both are also very weak right now) and basically all the other tanks were really really bad with no hypercharges.
Ash is literally my favourite character. I wish people played him more because his playstyle really fits me.
As an Ash main 'mastering' him isn't that hard; it's just a matter of knowing when to stike, when to retrieve and where to keep pressure once you win your lane. But that's true for most tanks, only difference is that Ash is more min-maxed; its harder to win your lane or aproach the enemy without getting taken down or feeding super, but its easier to keep the pressure and snowball the game: That's when he gets fun.
You could say that the risk is too high and the reward too small, but I'd say the reward is not that small; on certain maps, where he can get a good spawn kill set-up, he feels unkillable and he WILL carry games.
I really don't know why no one plays him, but tbh id rather keep it that way, he feels more exculsive and I feel cool for owning his mastery title and true gold skin
In the new animation completing his trio, he appears for like 3 seconds. I feel like Brawl Stars is forgetting about Ash too
free my boy ash
Lack of appearances is probably why brawlers like Bryon aren’t played as well.
Yeah true!
I saw the notification and was like "Ash already!? How many did I miss??"😅
I loved the analysis you made on the poor trashcan. It seems like he wasn't designed to be popular, which is a shame, because once you get used to his mechanics he is really fun to play. I don't think he needs a rework, maybe his hypercharge will give him the little boost he needs to climb up a little higher on popularity ranks
Thank you so much!
Damn, kids choosing less skill characters instead of some high skill brawlers (specifically ash) is just relatable...
If those instagram reels said "no1 most skill brawler is ash" ash would be like colt, being at the highest usage rates in the games.
Yeah maybe
tbh i feel like all ash needs is a strong hypercharge, his base kit is fantastic but he really needs that extra oomph to him, his damage, while good, can seem underwhelming at times
Yeah a good hypercharge should be able to fix him
Ash has probably my favorite gimmick in the game. It sucks that no one plays him because he’s harder to learn because a ton of tanks are just 1000000 hp and don’t take very much skill. I adore playing ash.
yeah its a shame
This video summoned the whole Ash mains council haha. As for me I don’t even know what he does, for me he is Rosa with more range and less attack spd.
Yea it did lol
I main Ash, and the reason i play him is because he just feels so much more complex than all the other tanks, since I love the tank archetype in brawl stars, but they all feel "too simple", Ash is complicated but incredibly rewarding if played well
Yep agreed!
A good change for Ash would be making it so his rage only starts decaying after 2 seconds of not hitting an enemy, also he deserves a small health buff
That would be nice
My best brawler! He was the only chromatic brawler I liked back then, so much that I still think of him as a new brawler 😅
haha thats great!
I love Ash, and I have his title, too bad Supercell refuses to buff him. I'm somehow drawn to characters with conditional, but very rewarding gameplay, even if it's not that flashy. I get satisfaction from executing him well, and not dashing all around the place oneshoting enemies
Now I really want a powerpoint about draco, since the topic is about tanks
When I get to legendary brawlers
I’m 100% sure it’s because he is being neglected by supercell, he hasn’t received a skin in a while and he had a perfect opportunity in the SpongeBob to be SpongeBob himself but supercell decided to go with primo
Yep good point
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
yessir!
Ash so unpopular they decided to remove him for almost 2 weeks when the duels glitch was happening, instead of removing lawrie from the lobby animation, they did it later because it would've been a whole update without ash if they didn't remove lawrie
Yeah I should’ve included that
I bought the pass where Ash was and i don't regret it. He is fun to play if you know how to but its mostly hard to play at his fullest.
Exactly!
Your thoughts on how the character are designed or appear or thier inherent characteristics influence the people who play them makes so much sense , really interesting 🤔!
Thank you so much!
Coming from one of the only 10 crazy people to main Ash, even though he’s trash (literally), he’s SUPER fun to play, but I do understand why people wouldn’t wanna play him
yep!
yeah he is with Sam the most aggressive tank in the game, and I love constantly attacking opponents
Being ash main was ez at the start but after I learned he’s only good in close up attack it’s kinda hard to like find a map that would be good to use him on. But other then that he’s fun for giving false hope to the player when they think there far enough for my range
Basically if you know what do to and how to do it you’r good
Gotta give him as much range as Frank. Also he needs a hypercharge.
Just increase his helpers' health by 50% and increase how much rage you get per hit.
He has a very high winrate, it doesnt need no buffing, just hypercharge so it is at an even playing field with other hypercharged brawlers, thats all
@@TeddyBearItsMe He still needs an Hypercharge to re-enter the meta. He deserves it. High win rate doesn't make up for the abysmal pick rate.
Every time some makes a list like this they become broken like Frank or dyrall
Yep
I am really bad with Ash, but I love his mecanic, his visual and his playstyle. If he get a rework or a great buff, I hope he gets even more fun and maybe easier to use
Agreed!
I'm sad to see this, because even though he's my favorite brawler, he is forgotten.
one day he wont hopefully
Ash shoudve gotten the SpongeBob skin El primo just looks cursed
yeah fr
You should talk about brawlers that are used in ranked but never in thropy matches like sam or bibi or lola or etc etc, because playing with them is gambling for not having your hard counter in the opposite team
I’m going to be honest I’ve never seen Sam in ranked and only a pro player played Lola against me
It's times like these that remind me that the average player in brawl has like 13k trophies lmao
yeah its crazy
If i am being honest I love ash because of the combination of funny designs funny voice lines and high skill cap make him the perfect Brawler for me
Yeah he’s so lovable
I always played him and he will always be among my top 3 brawlers. Unfortunately, i uninstalled the game so there is a total of 9 ash players left.
That’s a deep cut to ash main population
im not an ash main (i main otis overall) but recently i bought pinata ash and honestly hes really good, one of the best tanks but youll need how to play him, the map and specially the draft if he is played in ranked, i think its where is played the most, its really fun to play, if you wanna max him do it, just to have the point of hes off of the meta and many can counter, an hypercharge cant be bad for him.
“The edging nature of Edgar” 💀💀💀
I bought his brawl pass. But after his hype died off. People started playing those easy to play OP brawlers which makes him hard to approach and kill people
Yep
This video gave me the inspiration to play more ash
Do it!
Ash needs an attack speed buff🗣️💪FRANK REWORK TREATMENT WOULD BE NOT BAD CUZ LOGICALLY MORE HE IS ANGRY MORE HIS ATTACK SPEED SHOULD BE HIGHER
Good point!
Об эше вспоминали только 2 раза: при его выходе и при его блокировке. Это очень грустно
Haha yea
The problem now is the Franck rework...
More health no rage more damage stun super bigger range better gadget and star power hypercharge and even faster to attack BCS the 2 are better at low hp
As an Ash main (I 2nd main him ye but still) ngl HE IS NOT PASSIVE, when I play Ash the best music to go over it would doom music because Jesus Christ he kills. Most people really under estimate that range on his attack, it’s a lot longer than you think, and by simply dodging you don’t need an approach at all, he just kills.
dog, ash has been on my wishlist for brawlers to get. but thats so time consuming to even get close to get him as a newer player 😭
yeah exactly
They'd better start because he can be goood (no Ash main bias definitely)
Why? Does he have a dash? Can he break walls? Is he good in all maps? No?
Thats basically why. The brawler need a way to be good in all maps and have something good for mobility. The more mobile, agressive and strong in the meta, the better. Fang, and Frank are two good example. The moment they got buff, you saw them everywhere. Grom tho... Nobody use him concistently since his first nerf, because he is to dependent.
Good point!
As an ash master, I can confirm that IM SO MANKY!
I have always stood up for this guy he is my main
Nice!
I am an Ash main, and having much experience on him I can tell you once you master Ash, you can become unstoppable if you play him right and know how you can use his super placement correctly.
I also thought he could be given the Frank treatment as a rework to his swing speed since it also has a bit of delay but instead of relying on his hp, it relies on his rage. But then I thought, this could be extremely broken because like I said, I'm very good with him and just thinking Ash with near full hp and max rage, and on top of that, his mad as heck star power? Yeah he'll be an even bigger threat than Frank
Good to know!
Literally just came back from playing Ash to see this video lmao
Lmao
0:25 unless your main is edgar 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
Nice video and again i winning in duo and You With double bull what is this game
And I was blessed of getting all the ash skins from the legendary star drops(The oven and brawl pass one I bought it on the club shop and from the brawl pass)
Wow nice
Relatability? Bro there’s a literal cat and a dog in the game nobody relates to that.
Ash is seriously out classed by other tanks sadly, it takes too long to really get his rage, let alone maintain it, 3200 damage at max rage is great but why use an unreliable gimmick like rage when you can use bibi for a flat 2800+ damage while also dealing quick knockback (speed or shield depending on sp), why use a normal but thin ranged attack that takes a whole second to hit when you can use frank with higher health, better width, stun and faster unload (depending on health)
not an ash main, but i find that ash can make flashy teamwipe plays though i only have him at 750
the thing that people dont get with ash is about his gears
i use heal and super charge
once i get to max rage, i wait for max or near max hp too
the flashiness comes in when you cycle through your supers really fast, the entire enemy team is looking at the respawn timer, and your teamates start walking up only to see that the map is already empty
i use the first ash star power, reload one is really nice for when youre raged, but most of the time you arent raged for long, so the reload goes to waste
nice tips!
I use damage and speed, sometimes extra gear on not so bushy maps. Ash's biggest benifit he has imo is his speed when raged up so that's why I use speed gear, you mostly use him on bushy maps too
They should let him keep his rage or give him more health with a tank trait
Ash needs a rework/buff. I main him and it's very sad😢 to see him
yep!
I maxed him out with the intent of Manning him but he doesn't feel tanky at all despite having 10K HP
As an Ash main, I feel you. this aggressive high damage meta is why a lot of tanks have fallen off
He plays more like a damage dealer/assassin than a tank, I mostly play him super aggressive
I partially disagree with the relatability part. Dynamike isn't relatable, the only fun part about him is that he's obsessed over explosions and can jump.
And yet, he's consistently one of the most played brawlers (being of a common rarity also contributes to this tbf)
Ash's design isn't bad. It's really the rarity, advertisement and gameplay part that hurts him.
His entire gameplay feels like one constant trade off so you never feel like he's consistently strong.
Ash's gameplay is similar to Bibi except Bibi is way better (buffs that DON'T take away something from you) and is less punishing. Why using him when you can use Bibi instead?
I love Ash concept wise, heck even the gameplay can be fun (when you're winning), but otherwise it feels too frustrating and tiring to use him
You know when was the last time i used him? Back in the Godzilla season and never since, even then his mutation had the drawba k of being good only in the City Smash cause you could just chain supers on the zilla.
Give my man some love and a break.
This video is not meant to insult your main. Unless your main is Edgar
truth
As an Ash main, I'm waiting for his meta once again. He get's countered hard, also it doesn't help that every UA-camr puts Ash in F tier, making people just see him as trash and not give him the time of day 😞🥲 Even tho he's trash, literally
as someone who doesnt main ash, i'm also waiting for his meta
I think it literally is his super being the MOST wack in the game
Haha lol
When a video about the best sniper (and probably less popular sniper and my favorite brawler for some reason) Belle?
Dude i love not having a way to defend myself against assassins
I have come to a point where i count enemy ammo before using grounded to get value of it, it's so funny when someone just stops shooting at you and you are like "aww no more ammo?"
(it's still trash)
(I'm slowly becoming insane🗣️🔥)
no idea tbh
Do a PowerPoint about sam next
When I get to epic brawlers
before i watch this, its mainly because he barely does any damage, and reloads super slow, he NEEDS a buff
IMO Clancy is Ash but without rage bar going down
You can't 1 vs 1 or stall because of the rage bar. Without a full map with a lot of characters he can't really have potential.
I feel like his range is short if he had a little longer range he’d be better
I think you should replace "unless your main is edgar" to "unless your main is kit"
How about both
imo its not high skill cap or anything. its because his base kit (no sp no gadget no gear) is so shit. his sp and gadget is REQUIRED to play him properly. most people try brawlers on p1 before they even consider upgrading them, thus ash gets overlooked since people think hes no different after buying sp and gadget.
I still play ash, i never/rarely see a ash😭🙏
yea same lol
He cant break boxes fast and people usually playing showdown
true
I think Ash is a solid brawler with the tank power up in the spongebob mode, but he really needs a hypercharge to be really viable (I got Sam a few months ago rank 30 with randoms, and with Ash I only got Rank 29 and my tilts and my mates get worse and worse)
yep agreed
Im one of the few ash mains and his gadgets are dookie. Brawlers like bull bibi, chester, and others can heal without losing damage and speed and others gain buffs without losing health. Ash gets the poor end of the stick
Yeah they keep him very high skill cap but not powerful enough to regular players
@@MythicalForce27 ya i cant seem to get him past r33 his gadgets are useless and he dies to quickly to hypercharges where no amount of dodging can save you
Bro dropped this the day I got ash from a Starr drop
looks like you wont be playing him
As an ash main the reson is because throwers hard counter him escpecily dynamike the second I see an enemy dynamike I already know I’ve lost
Great video, but it's sad to see all these points made, I actually really like Ash and don't agree with the point that he's boring at all. He can pop off sometimes and it's super satisfying to get those surprise team wipes, and the pill gadget can absolutely carry. Sure low rage can be underwhelming but the first star power helps a ton with that. And I absolutely love his title, as well as his angry Scottish voice and personality!! I guess you're right that most BS players just can't appreciate Ash and his mechanics, what with managing rage, the attack delay and wallpeek, and having to deal with the low initial damage. But I will say those people will never experience the true joy of zooming around with a fully raged Ash and becoming a killing machine. I'm actually glad he's a bit out of the spotlight and doesn't have a HC yet, because it keeps away little kids and prevents him from becoming overplayed and annoying to see like Mortis and Fang.
I guess I feel the same way about Sam. I love playing him too cause he's so fun to run around the map with, but managing his super at all times and knowing how to maximize damage isn't that intuitive, so I hardly see anyone else playing him.
haha i agree a lot with your points, and I honestly with I had a maxed Ash so I can experience what ur saying
