Same here. If other somewhat niche gears can be higher, why isn't health gear there? You can apply so much pressure because you're just constantly in on the action.

Haven't really found it necessary on any of the brawlers tbh
@@snowpools8498 Well super charge is actually pretty useful on brawlers like Bull, Jacky and Primo, who are very close range range brawlers. It works with their tank trait so they charge even faster with it, I'd say it's especially good on Primo since he can chain supers and even just get his super pretty easily with it. Though on brawlers like Otis it only makes it so that he needs 1 hit less to charge his super so it's not that useful, but I do still use it cause it can come in clutch

It’s also a nice trade off between an aggressive and passive playstyle for brawlers with an average amount of hp.
I disagree. The function of the shield gear was always to survive exactly 1 extra ammo from precise interactions, i.e. you die to an exact amount of damage, and if you take 1 hp less of damage, you wouldn't die. It's hardly consequential if you survive with 10hp or with 600hp, or 600hp vs 900hp, since most projectiles post-update will still kill you.
@@memelord696this update just feels unfinished and rushed, I know they put effort in to this update but it just feels more like a deadline rush then something they loved making
0:06 Lingering Smoke is way better now since Shield had a massive indirect nerf. Before, you'd go Shield and Damage every time. Now that Shield is pretty mediocre, it opens up a slot for either Speed or Lingering Smoke. Combined with Smoke Trails, you can essentially have free reign. 0:54 Health Gear is much, much more universal than you think. It competes with Damage and Super Charge on the less bushy maps and is even viable with medium health brawlers such as Carl, Bonnie, and even Max. She was always used with Health in Hot Zone. 1:26 Pet Power is on the lower end ever since the removal of Heist. Spawner brawlers aren't as effective in Siege due to IKE's attack. 2:09 Shield is underwhelming at the moment. 600 extra HP doesn't provide in nearly as many interactions. Still usable, but much worse. 3:45 It is a huge increase though? Both Reload and Damage provide a 15% buff. Damage has a catch of being below half health, Reload doesn't. I don't get the logic here. It is essentially a 15% increase in both damage and super charge rate and it's the go-to on every brawler who has this gear.
Health gear is really underrated. It basically decreases the time you spend healing, thus allowing you to fight more. Also it's specially broken on high hp brawlers, healing 2k+ per second really is kinda crazy
Leon's mythic gear should make him stay invisible even when he passes through an enemy. Like pre nerf/global release leon. That wouldn't be as broken in the current state of the game because back then, the game was too simple that when a leon closes in on you, you are dead. But it's not the same now, everyone and their grandma has some sorta escape ability ready to go nowadays. Or that could be his hypercharge. Either way i am down for that.
Honestly i want his hypercharge to invis teammates too lmao 😅 I know, i know full well how absurdly broken that is I guess it can be an aoe like jacky's gadget So its super small And maybe lasts half of the time it would for teammates
Hell nah, unless you're playing as if your life depends on it, you will definitely die before you can even gadget or super away. He does not need that lol, like others said, it would be much better as a hypercharge
@@Samwise_genji yeah i know lmao but i still kinda want it, knowing it would be pretty much op wirh certain interaction But unlike Sandy's...the aoe only happens once and not stay for a duration
@@Emeri0942 Yes because the healing in mid-combat which allows me to make a kill and finish the job is better than disengaging and allowing my enemy to be max health.The more Leon is invisible,the better
I see that you both didn't understand what kairos said then, I hope you'll figure out when you'll play into higher ranks bc it's a litteral waste to use that rn
Vision gear is so underrated, sure it's useless when there's no bushes on the map, but the same goes for the speed gear and vision doesn't get NEAR the same attention as the other gear.
Speed gear should have been B as well. Vision gear is broken in bushy maps such as Double swoosh or Infinite doom. But useless in other not so bushy maps. So overall average B tier is fine but the same thing is with speed so I don't know why it's A tier.
@@soumyadeepmukherjeespeed gear feels like such a cheese gear , like it can mess up where you should shoot the enemy , I personally think it needs a small rework
0:55 Hard Disagree. Health gear is easily one of the best gears in the game (imo), as it HALVES your downtime when you're low on health and allows you to generally be more aggressive and self sufficient. It's useful on any brawler that gets in fights (all except a few throwers, even then it's still useful in thrower duels). I didn't think much of the health gear when it got reworked, but now with the new gear system and being able to experiment more with gears (since they're unlocked at P8 now) has really shown me how good it is.
it doesn't half your time, it reduces it by 1/3. You need about 6 ticks of healing to fully heal up in the game without this gear. With health gear it goes down to 4.
This would be a solid list if you were to swap health and shield. The shield gear is completely unusable after the most recent update, I have no idea why it isn’t in F.
its not unusable bc some interactions are on the dot for characters meaning ANY amount of extra hp makes u survive its niche but not useless however it does need a +200 shield buff to be back to where it was pre change
@@Ax19e4 600 HP on Brawlers with 5K+ health is just not worth it anymore, it was almost always only used in Bounty and now basically all Bounty (or Wipeout ig) brawlers run damage and gadget gear.
As a Otis and lou main, the super charge gear is almost essential when you're hitting most of your shots, on Otis with his second star power it reduces the ammo needed from 4 to 3 and for lou it reduces it from 3 to 2, which is very helpful for example on hot one for lou and against tanks on otis
I agree with Lou, but for Otis... I tried it two days ago and from my experience, with the gear it takes 12 ink balls to charge the super and without it, it took 13... correct if I'm wrong!
@@sr.marpla1862 I have tested it, you need the fourth ink ball starr power for it to do anything because if you don't then it's the same, and in my opinion the one extra ammo you save could help against some tanks (I know because I have his title)
@@metalac8363 I mean, it helps, of course! But for the price of 1500 coins, I would expect something way more useful than that. 8 or less hits would be broken because it would mean 2 full ammo shots. But 12 instead of 13 is just meh... I would have put it at 10 hits, which I think is good number and you still need 3 ammo shots but you can spare some ink balls. Right now I'd say it's not worth it.
@@Samusito06 that's a bit much I feel like they should just ban win traders flat out if they get proof of it. It will most likely cut it down since people would be afraid of losing there accounts
Something I don't like about some mithyc gears. Is that they genuinely feel like star powers. Like spike's or Amber's or Sandy's. For example, spik Mithyc gear would be a better fit for his hyper charge. Less annoying because less often. Strong and actually original. And the size increase could instead be the gear.
I personally don't really agree, gears tend to be simple stat changes without extra mechanics added other than sometimes a condition for the increase in the specific stat (like damage below half health and speed while in bushes). Of course there are some exceptions, like Amber's gear does add a new mechanic being slowness on her oil, but even then it's just a simple 10% speed reduction on brawlers that walk on it. Some star powers are simple like this too, but this seems to be the main theme with gears.
@@determineddaaf3 some star power do less things than some gears. Colt's for example. I would rather have mithyc hear that tap into a characters potential and may enable some new of playing. (such as paring great with a mediocre star power.) than having them be the star power. The rare and epic ones are perfect because even if they add new mechanics it's for the entire or part of the cast. While the mithyc gears are personal. So are literally like star powers. If they serve the same purpose it's kind of stupid.
I can never see a universe where the Health gear isn’t a top 3 Gear, especially after the stat inflation it can be debated as the best gear in the game.
2:34 what? For Otis it is 1 entire less ammo to get super and like 3 less projectiles, it's very good on him considering that his super is why you use him.
I think heal gear deserves a bit more recognition, on brawlers like tick, well yeah, i barely does something. But even just the slightest bit of health can make it so strong, ESPECIALLY in competetive matches!
Loved the video! Just an aside, I think that gears are just meh...they're not as bad as they were..but they're not good either... and I think the reason for that is because gears are "conditionated-buffs" and that makes them less exciting. Let me explain: Speed gear: IF you're in grass, you get a speed buff Damage gear: IF you have at low health, you get a damage buff Shield gear: IF you have all your health, you gain extra health Etc... All these gears give a buff, but with a condition, these make them less exciting...and feels like it's not a decision when you chose them. For example: You chose a speed gear because the map has lots of bushes, not because you want the brawler to be faster. To understand this better, you can compare those gears, to other gears with no conditions, that are far more exciting and meaningful: Gadget gear: Gives you an extra use of the gadget Pet gear: Pets give more damage Power charging: Charge your super faster Etc... To make real good gears, i think they could remove the conditions, making them a lot more exciting, and making us feel that the choice of the gears would really depend on how we want to play the brawler! Speed gear: The brawler get an overall speed buff Damage gear: The brawler get an overall damage buff Shield gear: The brawler get an overall health buff Etc... I think this change, is realy easy to make, and would make the gears a lot more exciting! Sorry for the big comment...and thank you all for taking the time to read it!
New epic gear ideas Projectile speed gear: Increases the projectile speed of the brawlers main attack Range gear: Increases the brawlers range by 1 tile Duration gear: Increases the brawlers supers duration by 1 second (this would go on Leon and replace his mythic gear)
It's sad how sc doesn't give more importance to the gears, now we're not only going to have to wait for epic/mythical gears to be given to each brawler but also hypercharges and it seems like these are the priority
Great video, agree with the assertions for the most part... Only the speed one I feel is less useful because as you said requires bushes, so I'm kind of reticent of buying it for any particular brawler, since I just don't know how useful it will be in any given map
Does Supercell reimburse and remove the gears when they nerf or buff a gear? If they don't, they should. Imagine I buy a mythic gear and it gets nerfed (like Amber's), I should be given the option to change my mind.
Thank you for this video! It’s very interesting to see shorter-style content from you, and while it seems unusual coming from your channel, it definitely could be fun from time to time. I also found this very helpful, especially as I haven’t been playing as much brawl stare lately as I used to.
Health should be S or at LEAST A. It get's guaranteed value every game on EVERY brawler despite the hp of the brawler. Heal faster = get into the fight faster. And on tanky brawlers like Fang it helps so much with keeping up pressure. My personal favorite super rare gear
I think the health gear should be B-tier because not only does it work on tanks, but it also works on some assassins like Buzz or Sam and it works for Hank too while not charging his attack.
Nah, Leon's mythic gear should be higher because if u r running away and getting shot, it can make a massive difference if u have fast star power or an extra 1000 healing, could be tye difference between winning or losing
Didn't the shield gear technically get a huge nerf last update? All the brawlers got a huge damage buff, but the shield remained at 600 extra hp, so it's just a lot less effective now.
@@bowiemcgrath8180Agree not trying to put hate on kairos but honestly his tier lists are not good in general. Like he doesn't really understand what the meta of brawl is like. It doesn't mean that everything he put in the tier list is garbage but a lot of points he misses completely.
emmmmmm the health gear is the most broken ability since curvball it just allows you to play more agresevly and take more risks its super underrated aspecialy on hi range low hps like mady😅
Hey kairos. Otis loads his super with the gear in 12 hits instead of 13. So otis can charge his super with the ink refills star power in 3 ammo. He is also recharging his super with his super over a quarter. I Play otis all the time with the gear and He is one of my Favorite brawler
Leons smoke got buffed to 2 seconds and i know its just me but if u pair it with smoke trails in gem grab u can run from everything for 8 seconds and get away 99% and u can ult in spawn at bounty or knockout and assassinate someone before anybody realizes why u did
I agree with u!, plus I actually learned things I didn't know or think of, a great video as always I love how even ur short or little videos are also useful or good, keep up the work
You never to let us down kairos. This was really helpful as I am a f2p player so I need to be careful what gear I buy.😅. I know u must have other ideas but can u please do a vid on a tier list on which brawlers to buy gadget gear on. Thanks. Again appreciate all ur efforts.❤️
Gadget Charge and Sticky Spikes should be top 2 and 1 and dmg gear top 3 Dmg gear makes you survive easier, ok very strong, but I think 15% is too tiny, even Crow's mythic gear can deal 30% all the match Besides, Gadget Charge and Sticky Spikes are a free kill. Extra gadget will be a free kill for some gadget like Cordelious' 50% Otis super or Dynamike's stunning bomb. Sticky Spikes slow people down CRAZY, like, it takes forever to get out, doomed
I really think Kairos underestimates the sheer power of the A-PORTER-CALYPSE that is Mr.P with 2nd gadget and star power, pet power and bonus gadget gear.
how is reload gear below damage?!! damage gear increases dps by 15% ONLY WHEN HEALTH IS BELOW 50%. reload - increase dps by 15% permanently + super charge rate up by 15% + map area control up by 15%(as you are shooting more often)
Tbh gears are allways useful depending on brawler and opponent it's on. Leon's could be used it an enemy is too far away so you try to get near a bush or Sandy's wich is usefull while fighting close range brawlers
With the new stats, healt gear have been indirectly buffed and shield gear is worth almost nothing. I think shield gear should be based of a brawler max hp. Like 25% of the max hp. As for health I think it should give more or less regeneration based on the missing health. A bit like Sam star power but for basic regeneration.
Health is one of the best in my opinon and at least better than shield which got nerfed by 200 hp do to the stat increases and takes for ever to recharge
• Balance changes & rarity changes required for gears: (Trust me they are perfect) Leon's mythic gear (mg): Scrap this and replace with a new one which would reduce his area of visibility slightly while invisible. It would also apply on gadget. Sandy's mg: damage reduction 10%->30% OR completely rework it & new one should increase the radius of super by 1 or 2 tile. Amber's mg: slow 10%->15% • Reload gear should be lower S tier. Literally every brawler having it, benefits from it. • Penny, Bonnie, Ash & Bull don't get value out of their epic gear imo. They deserve better ones. Nani got super charge rate buff and that's why her epic gear is completely useless. • Health gear should replace shield gear from this list. Right now, shield gear is not good. Even if it gets the buff 600->800, least hp in the game is 4400 (tick) who also get more value out of health gear due to star power. We used to use health gear on brawlers above 5000 hp, if it was worth using health or shield over others. Every brawler now has more than 5000 & can heal faster.
I agree with mostly everything except ONE thing. Swap amber and eve mythic gears. Hell, I would say eve's mythic gear is the worst gear in the game, the ONE extra thing (I forgot what they're called) is nothing compared to the dmg gear+reload gear combo on her. I would also argue sandy's should be at the very least be B, It's kinda useful for blocking out... everything, basically. It actually kinda punishes them for entering his super and that's nice. Also I hope you're doing way better now that you've "escaped" the reddit hell hole, we'll miss you.
Nice video, thanks. And hope you're doing well. It's a tiny bit annoying that I have to buy the gadget gear to use it, because I already have 2 gears for my brawlers, so I will not spend more gold on them sadly. It's just not worth it.
For the moment yes I kinda fear the time when every gadget, star powers and gears that buff direct numbers will get buffed to balance with the 10% update, what a pain to relearn all the numbers
Honestly, as an Amber main, the sticky oil is almost completely useless. The thing that deterrs people from using the lane you've slicked up is the threat of it lighting on fire; a 10% slowdown won't change that. Furthermore, you can't take advantage of the fact that reduced movement makes them an easier target, because if you do, you'll light the slowdown on fire and they'll be normal speed, at which point the slowdown is useless. So only your teammates can take advantage of it, so you want to block a lane, then go to the other side and have your teammates take advantage of the slow, but at that point you're often too far from the puddle to properly threaten lighting it, which means you lose a lot of pressure unless you can get a second oil puddle for your side. To get use out of the gear, you have to use a convoluted strategy that your randoms have to understand, and even then it's bad because it takes a lot longer for you to get situated with your puddles. After that the only use is making sure enemies have a hard time baiting out burning your oil, but at that point just get good, honestly. It's perfectly reactable and inescapable if you wait for the right time to light. If it is escapable, like with some jump (crow, suge, eve, etc.) or dash, then it's not like the slowdown would have helped. It's not worth a gear slot. Health, reload, gadget, damage, and shield are all significantly better options. The sticky oil gadget is an F tier to me.
Umm can you make a video of every brawl and there best build like I just got Mandy and your a really good brawl stars player so I want to know what’s her best gadget, star power and rears
Love your videos and lists as always. Any recommendations for non-pro videos on tier rankings, gadgets, etc.? The more I play, the more I realize these are great but not very helpful in non-pros play.
I feel like leons mythic gear isnt that bad bcs u can get to another bush which is further away to sneak attack and it gives 1000 extra healing with the star power
I thought I was going to disagree at first, but I couldn’t explain why. By the end of the video I think it’s a pretty fair tier list. It felt not picky on the logic of why, but I don’t think it actually was. Thanks for another vid K Time
Fun Fact: Nani's super charge rate was buffed from 6 to 5 hits in the lastest update, so the supercharge gear is useless on her now

The most useless gears are gadget and pet power gear in tara without any gadgets or star powers
The health gear is way better than shield gear now tho cuz of the new stats
This is true they didn't buff shield to scale like how they didn't buff all the other gadgets and star powers to scale
@@memelord696this update just feels unfinished and rushed, I know they put effort in to this update but it just feels more like a deadline rush then something they loved making

0:06 Lingering Smoke is way better now since Shield had a massive indirect nerf. Before, you'd go Shield and Damage every time. Now that Shield is pretty mediocre, it opens up a slot for either Speed or Lingering Smoke. Combined with Smoke Trails, you can essentially have free reign.
0:54 Health Gear is much, much more universal than you think. It competes with Damage and Super Charge on the less bushy maps and is even viable with medium health brawlers such as Carl, Bonnie, and even Max. She was always used with Health in Hot Zone.
1:26 Pet Power is on the lower end ever since the removal of Heist. Spawner brawlers aren't as effective in Siege due to IKE's attack.
2:09 Shield is underwhelming at the moment. 600 extra HP doesn't provide in nearly as many interactions. Still usable, but much worse.
3:45 It is a huge increase though? Both Reload and Damage provide a 15% buff. Damage has a catch of being below half health, Reload doesn't. I don't get the logic here. It is essentially a 15% increase in both damage and super charge rate and it's the go-to on every brawler who has this gear.
Health gear is really underrated. It basically decreases the time you spend healing, thus allowing you to fight more. Also it's specially broken on high hp brawlers, healing 2k+ per second really is kinda crazy
Leon's mythic gear should make him stay invisible even when he passes through an enemy. Like pre nerf/global release leon. That wouldn't be as broken in the current state of the game because back then, the game was too simple that when a leon closes in on you, you are dead. But it's not the same now, everyone and their grandma has some sorta escape ability ready to go nowadays.
Or that could be his hypercharge. Either way i am down for that.
Honestly i want his hypercharge to invis teammates too lmao 😅
I know, i know full well how absurdly broken that is
I guess it can be an aoe like jacky's gadget
So its super small
And maybe lasts half of the time it would for teammates
No that should NOT be a gear. It would be wayy too brokenif you could use it however many times you want in a game, It should be a hypercharge
@@GengUpinIpinbrawler named Sandy : 😮
Hell nah, unless you're playing as if your life depends on it, you will definitely die before you can even gadget or super away. He does not need that lol, like others said, it would be much better as a hypercharge
@@Samwise_genji yeah i know lmao but i still kinda want it, knowing it would be pretty much op wirh certain interaction
But unlike Sandy's...the aoe only happens once and not stay for a duration
0:07 that gear can actually come in clutch a lot of the times+when paired with Invisiheal it means 1000 extra HP which helps a lot in fights
do you prefer this or like a permanent healing buff or like a speed buff
@@Emeri0942 Yes because the healing in mid-combat which allows me to make a kill and finish the job is better than disengaging and allowing my enemy to be max health.The more Leon is invisible,the better
@@Emeri0942yes the mythic gear,plus on certain maps its so good
I see that you both didn't understand what kairos said then, I hope you'll figure out when you'll play into higher ranks bc it's a litteral waste to use that rn
@@Emeri0942 i find it useful in some scenarios,but i get your point
Karios really came in dropped a 6 minute gear tier list and dipped
No one commented?
How does a Waseem Comment have 7 likes and 1 comment💀
Reload is better than damage imo, but i mostly agree with this tier list
Reload and tick gear need to be way up.
Yeah like no way he put damage gear above reload smh
Vision gear is so underrated, sure it's useless when there's no bushes on the map, but the same goes for the speed gear and vision doesn't get NEAR the same attention as the other gear.
Speed gear should have been B as well. Vision gear is broken in bushy maps such as Double swoosh or Infinite doom. But useless in other not so bushy maps. So overall average B tier is fine but the same thing is with speed so I don't know why it's A tier.
@@soumyadeepmukherjeespeed gear feels like such a cheese gear , like it can mess up where you should shoot the enemy , I personally think it needs a small rework
0:55 Hard Disagree. Health gear is easily one of the best gears in the game (imo), as it HALVES your downtime when you're low on health and allows you to generally be more aggressive and self sufficient. It's useful on any brawler that gets in fights (all except a few throwers, even then it's still useful in thrower duels). I didn't think much of the health gear when it got reworked, but now with the new gear system and being able to experiment more with gears (since they're unlocked at P8 now) has really shown me how good it is.
It's good for tanks but low hp brawlers it doesn't do alot for
it doesn't half your time, it reduces it by 1/3. You need about 6 ticks of healing to fully heal up in the game without this gear. With health gear it goes down to 4.
Health gear is waaaaay better than you guys think. It opens the possibilityto play aggressively and also makes you more present throughout the match
One of the best gears in the game. Not broken but extremely consistent.
@@soumyadeepmukherjee 🎯
This would be a solid list if you were to swap health and shield. The shield gear is completely unusable after the most recent update, I have no idea why it isn’t in F.
How is it f tier I could see it go down a bit but it’s still good
@@Ax19e4600 hp before is like 350 ho now it's pointless until they buff it
its not unusable bc some interactions are on the dot for characters meaning ANY amount of extra hp makes u survive its niche but not useless
however it does need a +200 shield buff to be back to where it was pre change
@@Ax19e4 600 HP on Brawlers with 5K+ health is just not worth it anymore, it was almost always only used in Bounty and now basically all Bounty (or Wipeout ig) brawlers run damage and gadget gear.
Still helps a lot of brawlers survive in an extra shot in many interactions.
As a Otis and lou main, the super charge gear is almost essential when you're hitting most of your shots, on Otis with his second star power it reduces the ammo needed from 4 to 3 and for lou it reduces it from 3 to 2, which is very helpful for example on hot one for lou and against tanks on otis
I agree with Lou, but for Otis... I tried it two days ago and from my experience, with the gear it takes 12 ink balls to charge the super and without it, it took 13... correct if I'm wrong!
@@sr.marpla1862 I have tested it, you need the fourth ink ball starr power for it to do anything because if you don't then it's the same, and in my opinion the one extra ammo you save could help against some tanks (I know because I have his title)
But I can admit, it wouldn't be very game changing like a speed or vision gear
@@metalac8363 I mean, it helps, of course! But for the price of 1500 coins, I would expect something way more useful than that. 8 or less hits would be broken because it would mean 2 full ammo shots. But 12 instead of 13 is just meh... I would have put it at 10 hits, which I think is good number and you still need 3 ammo shots but you can spare some ink balls. Right now I'd say it's not worth it.
@@sr.marpla1862 I could agree with you, on a F2p standpoint 1500 coins for a gear which doesn't get much value is not worth it
Kairos talk about how bad supercell is at stopping teammers/win traders in showdown
I feel like he would if it was a longer discussion. Cause it's just terrible no other words
@How about

@@Samusito06 that's a bit much I feel like they should just ban win traders flat out if they get proof of it. It will most likely cut it down since people would be afraid of losing there accounts
Something I don't like about some mithyc gears. Is that they genuinely feel like star powers. Like spike's or Amber's or Sandy's.
For example, spik
Mithyc gear would be a better fit for his hyper charge. Less annoying because less often. Strong and actually original. And the size increase could instead be the gear.
I personally don't really agree, gears tend to be simple stat changes without extra mechanics added other than sometimes a condition for the increase in the specific stat (like damage below half health and speed while in bushes). Of course there are some exceptions, like Amber's gear does add a new mechanic being slowness on her oil, but even then it's just a simple 10% speed reduction on brawlers that walk on it. Some star powers are simple like this too, but this seems to be the main theme with gears.
@@determineddaaf3 some star power do less things than some gears. Colt's for example. I would rather have mithyc hear that tap into a characters potential and may enable some new of playing. (such as paring great with a mediocre star power.) than having them be the star power.
The rare and epic ones are perfect because even if they add new mechanics it's for the entire or part of the cast.
While the mithyc gears are personal. So are literally like star powers. If they serve the same purpose it's kind of stupid.
I can never see a universe where the Health gear isn’t a top 3 Gear, especially after the stat inflation it can be debated as the best gear in the game.
It’s useful on every single brawler
2:34 what? For Otis it is 1 entire less ammo to get super and like 3 less projectiles, it's very good on him considering that his super is why you use him.
I think heal gear deserves a bit more recognition, on brawlers like tick, well yeah, i barely does something. But even just the slightest bit of health can make it so strong, ESPECIALLY in competetive matches!
Health gear plus his healing sp is pretty good
Loved the video! Just an aside, I think that gears are just meh...they're not as bad as they were..but they're not good either... and I think the reason for that is because gears are "conditionated-buffs" and that makes them less exciting. Let me explain:
Speed gear: IF you're in grass, you get a speed buff
Damage gear: IF you have at low health, you get a damage buff
Shield gear: IF you have all your health, you gain extra health
Etc...
All these gears give a buff, but with a condition, these make them less exciting...and feels like it's not a decision when you chose them. For example: You chose a speed gear because the map has lots of bushes, not because you want the brawler to be faster.
To understand this better, you can compare those gears, to other gears with no conditions, that are far more exciting and meaningful:
Gadget gear: Gives you an extra use of the gadget
Pet gear: Pets give more damage
Power charging: Charge your super faster
Etc...
To make real good gears, i think they could remove the conditions, making them a lot more exciting, and making us feel that the choice of the gears would really depend on how we want to play the brawler!
Speed gear: The brawler get an overall speed buff
Damage gear: The brawler get an overall damage buff
Shield gear: The brawler get an overall health buff
Etc...
I think this change, is realy easy to make, and would make the gears a lot more exciting!
Sorry for the big comment...and thank you all for taking the time to read it!
With how they changed the stats of upgrading brawlers, I would put Shield gear lower down the list until they change it
New epic gear ideas
Projectile speed gear:
Increases the projectile speed of the brawlers main attack
Range gear:
Increases the brawlers range by 1 tile
Duration gear:
Increases the brawlers supers duration by 1 second (this would go on Leon and replace his mythic gear)
It's sad how sc doesn't give more importance to the gears, now we're not only going to have to wait for epic/mythical gears to be given to each brawler but also hypercharges and it seems like these are the priority
Great video, agree with the assertions for the most part... Only the speed one I feel is less useful because as you said requires bushes, so I'm kind of reticent of buying it for any particular brawler, since I just don't know how useful it will be in any given map
I think the health gear would be A LOT better, if it worked on healing abilities (gadgets, supers, etc.)
Health gear is goated
Gets saves a lot of time healing to get back in the fight quicker
It's already good and with this change it would be broken
Yeah and I think damage gear would be A LOT better if it was always applied and buffed your damage by 3000%
Damage gear above reload gear is mental. Sometimes i wonder if kairos plays the same game as us, like even in theory reload is better🫤
Honestly. All mythic gears can be applied to their brawlers hypercharge, it would make more than just a simple bigger super.
Does Supercell reimburse and remove the gears when they nerf or buff a gear? If they don't, they should. Imagine I buy a mythic gear and it gets nerfed (like Amber's), I should be given the option to change my mind.
Thank you for this video! It’s very interesting to see shorter-style content from you, and while it seems unusual coming from your channel, it definitely could be fun from time to time. I also found this very helpful, especially as I haven’t been playing as much brawl stare lately as I used to.
Health should be S or at LEAST A. It get's guaranteed value every game on EVERY brawler despite the hp of the brawler. Heal faster = get into the fight faster. And on tanky brawlers like Fang it helps so much with keeping up pressure. My personal favorite super rare gear
Health gear is atleast A tier with the new balance changes
Health gear has always been the best out of the og 5 imo
It’s really strong on any brawler over like 5k hp
@@tinylossbsyt4147healthy people who have a healthy immune
kairos on his way to do a "family friendly" smash or pass on the gears
Fist the damage gear
I think the health gear should be B-tier because not only does it work on tanks, but it also works on some assassins like Buzz or Sam and it works for Hank too while not charging his attack.
Nah, Leon's mythic gear should be higher because if u r running away and getting shot, it can make a massive difference if u have fast star power or an extra 1000 healing, could be tye difference between winning or losing
i feel like health gear is just required on hank unless you want to spend half the game just regenerating
Didn't the shield gear technically get a huge nerf last update? All the brawlers got a huge damage buff, but the shield remained at 600 extra hp, so it's just a lot less effective now.
Rare footage of kairos not being angry at gears
Reload gear Is better than damage gear as it gives you value everytime while damage gear is only when you have less than 50% hp
I don't think Kairos plays the same game as us anymore, like even in theory reload is better but he doesn't even understand that
@@bowiemcgrath8180Agree
not trying to put hate on kairos but honestly his tier lists are not good in general.
Like he doesn't really understand what the meta of brawl is like.
It doesn't mean that everything he put in the
tier list is garbage but a lot of points he misses completely.
emmmmmm the health gear is the most broken ability since curvball
it just allows you to play more agresevly and take more risks its super underrated aspecialy on hi range low hps like mady😅
Hey kairos. Otis loads his super with the gear in 12 hits instead of 13. So otis can charge his super with the ink refills star power in 3 ammo. He is also recharging his super with his super over a quarter. I Play otis all the time with the gear and He is one of my Favorite brawler
Leons smoke got buffed to 2 seconds and i know its just me but if u pair it with smoke trails in gem grab u can run from everything for 8 seconds and get away 99% and u can ult in spawn at bounty or knockout and assassinate someone before anybody realizes why u did
I agree with u!, plus I actually learned things I didn't know or think of, a great video as always I love how even ur short or little videos are also useful or good, keep up the work
Everyone's talking about how underrated health gear is, but is no one gonna mention how tick's gear was in A instead of S?
i think you didn't say the best brawler for the pet gear,Mr.p he is just insane and used every time in competitive
yes it's just broken😂
The health gear is better than the shield gear
change my mind
You never to let us down kairos. This was really helpful as I am a f2p player so I need to be careful what gear I buy.😅. I know u must have other ideas but can u please do a vid on a tier list on which brawlers to buy gadget gear on. Thanks. Again appreciate all ur efforts.❤️
Hate to be that person but I think you meant "you never let us down" or "you never disappoint us" just helping you out :)
In case you’re interested, SpenLC already made a video about that topic: ua-cam.com/video/tA9V5oGEbJE/v-deo.htmlsi=mfeFOvpgGrmoSg6e

@@andercraft1254silly mistake. Lol
@@SamuraiVertHDsilly mistake. Thnx for pointing it out.
Gadget Charge and Sticky Spikes should be top 2 and 1 and dmg gear top 3
Dmg gear makes you survive easier, ok very strong, but I think 15% is too tiny, even Crow's mythic gear can deal 30% all the match
Besides, Gadget Charge and Sticky Spikes are a free kill. Extra gadget will be a free kill for some gadget like Cordelious' 50% Otis super or Dynamike's stunning bomb. Sticky Spikes slow people down CRAZY, like, it takes forever to get out, doomed
I really think Kairos underestimates the sheer power of the A-PORTER-CALYPSE that is Mr.P with 2nd gadget and star power, pet power and bonus gadget gear.
2:25
Why supercharged gear is useless for Otis and Bonnie?
This will help especially Otis to charge & cycle his super faster
how is reload gear below damage?!!
damage gear increases dps by 15% ONLY WHEN HEALTH IS BELOW 50%. reload - increase dps by 15% permanently + super charge rate up by 15% + map area control up by 15%(as you are shooting more often)
Tbh gears are allways useful depending on brawler and opponent it's on. Leon's could be used it an enemy is too far away so you try to get near a bush or Sandy's wich is usefull while fighting close range brawlers
It's not useless but there are other gears that are way more useful on him then his 1 second gear
With the new stats, healt gear have been indirectly buffed and shield gear is worth almost nothing.
I think shield gear should be based of a brawler max hp. Like 25% of the max hp.
As for health I think it should give more or less regeneration based on the missing health. A bit like Sam star power but for basic regeneration.
I would say Leon's gear is d tier since if you have invisiheal, you can gain an extra 1000 health, and to gain 6000 health overtime is actually insane
Health is one of the best in my opinon and at least better than shield which got nerfed by 200 hp do to the stat increases and takes for ever to recharge
Tick gets A LOT of value if you combine the healing gear with his healing star power it's a lot of fun
I would make the shield gear the worse than health
The spikes on the backround on each of the videos are just funny as heck😂
Maybe doug should get a mychic gear that says: Dougs hot dogs now lasts 2 seconds longer
I feel like health gear is super underrated. It comes in clutch if youre good at dodging.
Gadget gear would probably be the best
Edit: 3rd best. I was close
Also sorry for spoiling if you decided to read comments before watching the video
Tara having the Pet Power gear really confuses me, considering you require other specific abilities for it to be of ANY use!
yeah, imagine having pet gear on tara and not having any gadgets or starpowres
cool ranking idea! tho I don't really agree with some placements.. so I would appreciate if you added a link to these rankings in description :D
Maybe Barley's Extra Noxious starpower could be replaced by a gear that just gives flat damage since it's kind of boring for a star power.
• Balance changes & rarity changes required for gears: (Trust me they are perfect)
Leon's mythic gear (mg): Scrap this and replace with a new one which would reduce his area of visibility slightly while invisible. It would also apply on gadget.
Sandy's mg: damage reduction 10%->30% OR completely rework it & new one should increase the radius of super by 1 or 2 tile.
Amber's mg: slow 10%->15%
• Reload gear should be lower S tier. Literally every brawler having it, benefits from it.
• Penny, Bonnie, Ash & Bull don't get value out of their epic gear imo. They deserve better ones. Nani got super charge rate buff and that's why her epic gear is completely useless.
• Health gear should replace shield gear from this list. Right now, shield gear is not good. Even if it gets the buff 600->800, least hp in the game is 4400 (tick) who also get more value out of health gear due to star power. We used to use health gear on brawlers above 5000 hp, if it was worth using health or shield over others. Every brawler now has more than 5000 & can heal faster.
We need an unload gear, perfect for brawlers like fang
Great video! Keep in mind, play your cards right, and even lower tiered gadgets can be op!
I agree with mostly everything except ONE thing. Swap amber and eve mythic gears. Hell, I would say eve's mythic gear is the worst gear in the game, the ONE extra thing (I forgot what they're called) is nothing compared to the dmg gear+reload gear combo on her. I would also argue sandy's should be at the very least be B, It's kinda useful for blocking out... everything, basically. It actually kinda punishes them for entering his super and that's nice. Also I hope you're doing way better now that you've "escaped" the reddit hell hole, we'll miss you.
I wish there would be a rare gear given to support brawlers with certain class/ trait specifically on their field of control
I thought sticky oil would be absurdly broken, but I’m a little disappointed with the impact that gear actually had
Nice video, thanks. And hope you're doing well. It's a tiny bit annoying that I have to buy the gadget gear to use it, because I already have 2 gears for my brawlers, so I will not spend more gold on them sadly. It's just not worth it.
When are you doing your brawler tier list?
2:34 is this true ...Otis' super charge gear is completely useless on him ....why i thought it was so useful all this time ?
Health gear>Shield gear after stat rework imo
For the moment yes
I kinda fear the time when every gadget, star powers and gears that buff direct numbers will get buffed to balance with the 10% update, what a pain to relearn all the numbers
Reload gear is S, it is used on every single brawler that has it, with it always being higher priority then damage gear
Fun Fact: Byron heals more if he is under the damage buff from the damage gear
Honestly, as an Amber main, the sticky oil is almost completely useless. The thing that deterrs people from using the lane you've slicked up is the threat of it lighting on fire; a 10% slowdown won't change that.
Furthermore, you can't take advantage of the fact that reduced movement makes them an easier target, because if you do, you'll light the slowdown on fire and they'll be normal speed, at which point the slowdown is useless. So only your teammates can take advantage of it, so you want to block a lane, then go to the other side and have your teammates take advantage of the slow, but at that point you're often too far from the puddle to properly threaten lighting it, which means you lose a lot of pressure unless you can get a second oil puddle for your side.
To get use out of the gear, you have to use a convoluted strategy that your randoms have to understand, and even then it's bad because it takes a lot longer for you to get situated with your puddles.
After that the only use is making sure enemies have a hard time baiting out burning your oil, but at that point just get good, honestly. It's perfectly reactable and inescapable if you wait for the right time to light. If it is escapable, like with some jump (crow, suge, eve, etc.) or dash, then it's not like the slowdown would have helped.
It's not worth a gear slot. Health, reload, gadget, damage, and shield are all significantly better options. The sticky oil gadget is an F tier to me.
Leon's gear has been very clutch for me many times, whether i try to escape or just waiting for the right time to strike. Is it just me ?
Amazing vids and I love your analysis great job kairos keep up the good work!
i think they should buff every gear
with the new level gain procent buffed its like a little bit of damage/Shield
Leon in the F tier is a bad take. The amount of times it can clutch up in showdown, especially with invisa-heal is insane.
Umm can you make a video of every brawl and there best build like I just got Mandy and your a really good brawl stars player so I want to know what’s her best gadget, star power and rears
honestly, I think vision is at least A, speed is S, and health should be above pet.
But overall good list
Leon’s Mythic Gear is actually useful for a high skilled player
lingering smoke is a tier now because of the 1 second buff invisiheal and hypercharge combo
Love your videos and lists as always. Any recommendations for non-pro videos on tier rankings, gadgets, etc.? The more I play, the more I realize these are great but not very helpful in non-pros play.
I feel like leons mythic gear isnt that bad bcs u can get to another bush which is further away to sneak attack and it gives 1000 extra healing with the star power
Since the recent 10% level up buff to every brawler, I think the healing gear is probably better
0:30 bro has rude sands equipped and says that enemies are already away from sandy's super sobbing rn
Hey kairos i hope to see a vid with an updated build for every brawler. Keep up the great work 😊
Hi kairos, I’ve been playing brawl stars since beta
It is seems like Kairos didnt know that Nani with supercharge gear or not does 0 difference
Finally someone who understands that Leon mythic's gear is ass.
I thought I was going to disagree at first, but I couldn’t explain why. By the end of the video I think it’s a pretty fair tier list. It felt not picky on the logic of why, but I don’t think it actually was. Thanks for another vid K Time
