Bolt — Brawl Stars draft guide
Where Bolt sits in the current ranked meta, the build to run, and how to use them in a draft.
Draft verdict
Below average right now. Needs a favourable map to work.
Draft role: Tank, Assassin. Pick Bolt when the draft needs that slot filled.
Kit
Main attack
Deals more damage the longer Bolt has been moving before attacking — sustained movement directly scales his damage output.
Super
Grants a speed boost and damage reduction, leaving a lightning trail that burns enemies who walk through it.
Build
Gadgets and star powers
Kit built entirely around building and maintaining momentum before engaging.
Gears
Damage and Shield.
Recommended build
Focus on sustained movement to maximize damage before committing to a fight; use the Super's lightning trail to zone enclosed areas.
Stats
Over 10,800 HP at max level — one of the highest health pools in the Epic tier.
How to play Bolt
- Excels on enclosed maps and in modes where he can build to full speed before engaging.
- One of the newest and most aggressive tanks in the game — a very high HP pool combined with scaling damage.
- Avoid engaging immediately after spawning or respawning; build speed first.
