Gene’s super ability unleashes a magical hand that pulls enemies toward him, regardless of any obstacles between them. However, unlike other brawlers, Gene requires unusual enhancements like Gadget, Gear, and Star power. To make the most of your resources and his kit, here are the best builds for Gene in Brawl Stars.

What is the best build for Gene in Brawl Stars?

Gadget: Vengeful Spirits

When activating the Vengeful Spirits gadget, Gene shoots missiles at any enemy within an 11-tile range. Building for this gadget is a powerful option, as it deals a minimum of 400 damage and a maximum of 1,600. Additionally, the Vengeful Spirit missiles are incredibly fast and continuously chase enemies until they hit their target or a wall.

However, note that these missiles can’t target any invisible enemies hiding in bushes. As for power and build path, here’s every level and corresponding damage range for Vengeful Spirits build Gene:

Star Power: Magic Puffs

Magic Puffs is a great build route for Gene, perfect for Brawl Stars game modes that require team play. This star power heals each team member for a maximum of 576 health per second, though the effect doesn’t apply to Gene. The star power doesn’t reveal Gene’s hitbox either, but it does show his healing radius.

Below, you’ll find Magic Puff Gene’s health points recovered at every level:

LevelHealth Recovery Per Second
9519
10547
11576

As mentioned before, the Magic Puff star power is great when you are in a team, but it is useless in solo play, like a Solo Showdown event. In such a time, you can use Gene’s other star power, ‘Spirit Slap’.

Gears: Talk to the Hand and Vision

Talk to the Hand’ is a mythic gear that allows you to extend Gene’s super range from 7.67 tiles to 8.67 tiles. This can help you increase the effectiveness of the Gene’s super ability. Vision gear also helps you spot enemies for two seconds after dealing damage to them.
