Crow — Brawl Stars draft guide
Where Crow sits in the current ranked meta, the build to run, and how to use them in a draft.
Draft verdict
Playable. Usually picked to answer a specific enemy composition.
Matchup note: damage is weak at range but fine up close; not burst due to low HP — poison blocks the tank's self-heal
Draft role: Anti-tank, Control. Pick Crow when the draft needs that slot filled.
