Penny — Brawl Stars draft guide
Where Penny 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.
Matchup note: situational — good against clustered enemies, strong in Heist
Draft role: Control. Pick Penny when the draft needs that slot filled.
Kit
Old Lobber
Fires a coin pouch in a straight line; a direct hit deals damage and bursts into a cone of scattering coins that hits enemies behind the target.
Plunderbuss
Deploys a cannon/turret that continues firing on its own for extended zone pressure.
Build
Gadgets
Master Blaster (knockback), Heavy Coffers (recommended — wider splash cone, punishes grouped enemies).
Star powers
Salty Barrel (recommended), Trusty Spyglass.
Gears
Damage and Shield.
Recommended build
Salty Barrel star power + Heavy Coffers gadget + Damage/Shield gears.
How to play Penny
- Aim for direct hits — the coin-scatter secondary effect rewards hitting the primary target rather than just lobbing generally.
- Heavy Coffers' wider splash is especially strong against grouped enemies (e.g., in Gem Grab clusters).
- Her numbers shift often with balance patches, so double-check current values before ranked play.
