Brock | Rating and Tips

When Brock's not lightning up the battle with rockets, he's lighting up the dance floor with his smooth moves.

• Incredible damage concentrated in a single projectile.
• Rockets have massive range.
• Attacks have area of effect.

• Low health.
• Slow reload speed.
• Super ability is relatively easy to avoid.

In terms of using elixir on Brock, he gains his highest buff at the 4th elixir upgrade on his attack. This is because he will have over 300 damage per rocket, allowing him to kill opponents with 600 health (such as Colt, Barley, and Dynamike) in just two shots. After that, it’s best to upgrade health once to counter Brocks with four elixir upgrades on attack, then using the rest on your Super.

The first thing to notice about Brock is that he fires just one rocket per attack, which moves in a straight line until it contacts a wall, player, or reaches the edge of his range. With low HP and this extremely long-ranged projectile, it’s clear that Brock should be played highly defensively, firing rockets to damage tanks and take out players on the very edge of the arena. Due to his slow reload time and lack of huge burst damage, you will generally want to empty all three rockets immediately to damage tanks and potentially kill glass cannons. After that, retreat to regain any health that you lost, as well as recharging your rockets. Brock does best against characters with relatively low health (800 and lower) because of his ability to kill them with just 2 or 3 rockets, which can be difficult to avoid if aimed correctly.

Brock’s rockets are high-damage packets of area denial. Remember that opponents will not walk into your projectiles willingly, so you must use tactics to score hits.

This is where your teammates come into play. As a team, you can pressure opponents from two ends: one side contains high-damage, difficult to kill players like Shelly and Bull, while the other is where you will shoot your rockets. In addition, Brock players can force players out of the open and into cover, where they are more vulnerable to coordinated attacks.

At medium range, your rockets are relatively easy to predict with. Because of the large area that the rockets explode into, you can take advantage of walls that opponents are near to explode rockets directly on top of them. Scoring direct hits is much more difficult, which is why you will usually want to target enemies moving in straight lines or predictable patterns for the greatest chance at a hit. Always remember that Brock has great difficulty in taking on an opponent if they have high health, so stay near your teammates and have them cover for you when you are being confronted.

Dodging Brock’s rockets may be quite feasible, but it always requires focus. As a Brock player, take advantage of distracted opponents that may not notice you and quickly fire rockets to hopefully bring them down, or cripple them enough for your teammates to finish off. To fully take advantage of this tactic, remain under cover as much as possible and it will be very difficult for the opposing team to get rid of you.

Finally, the ideal play at the start of Smash & Grab and Bounty is to hide in bushes near the center and use all your rockets immediately. Since opponents are often grouped together while heading to the center, your rockets can chip off large chunks of health from multiple players.

Brock’s super takes a while to begin doing damage, which is why prediction is instrumental to doing effective damage with it. Only use the ability against enemies that are either stationary, distracted, or moving in a straight line. Versus moving targets, remember to aim your super in front of the enemy, in the direction that they are moving.

In addition, since the impact radius is large, Brock’s super ability is useful in dispatching low health brawlers, especially if they are behind a wall.
