Best Surge build in Brawl Stars

Effective build if used right

Surge is a legendary brawler in Brawl Stars who was first available through the Brawl Pass in Season 2: Summer of Monsters. His main attack is to shoot a juice projectile that splits when it hits enemies.

What’s even better is that his Super lets him leap over walls, deal damage, knock back enemies, and upgrade his attacks and movement. With his Hypercharge, he even gets a fourth-stage upgrade that makes his shots stronger and split more often.

However, like any other brawler, he also needs some enhancement in the form of a gadget, a star power, and gears. To help you with that, here is a comprehensive guide on the best build of Surge in Brawl Stars.

Best build for Surge in Brawl Stars

  • Gadget: Power Surge
  • Star Power: To the Max!
  • Gear 1: Speed
  • Gear 2: Damage

Starting with the gadget, you can use the “Power Surge” as it increases the Surge’s Stage by one for ten seconds. However, there is a downside: Surge cannot use this gadget if he is at stage three. 

In terms of star power, you should try on “To the Max!” as his main attack will now be split into two halves if it crosses any obstacles like walls. What’s even better is that it will split into six halves if you are in stage three.

You can use speed and damage gear, which will make Surge an absolute beast. Once you equip the speed gear, Surge will move 15% faster in bushes, as he is an easy target for any throwers in Brawl Stars

With the damage gear, Surge will deal 15% more when his hit points are less than half. However, you can only inflict extra damage on the enemy brawlers, not any spawnable objects like Nita’s bear. So it is advised not to use this gear around them and wait for the right time to unleash your attacks.
