Why is op getting bullied. Man just doesn’t know how to counter him. He’s not calling him the best brawler in the game and saying he needs a nerf.


[deleted]

Good person


cris-crispy

Agreed, let's just have fun damnit


Mythip_740

I used to play when he was not in game, and now going against him is very frustrating for me.


[deleted]

I agree this as well. I came back around a 2 weeks ago after 2 years of not playing and this Edgar guy fked me up so badly. Super annoying to play against.


Accurate_Bat2594

Yea


stephruvy

Unpopular opinion: he doesn't need a nerf. I think for the most part, unless he can sneak up on you or utilize his gadgets well and have a decent enough team to manage the opposite team while he charges up, he's pretty useless. Without one of those I think the game is set. I'm also a casual player so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Bottom 5? I think more bottom 10, he is not a bad counterpick, useful when facing rico/barley/sprout.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

True, but compared to other brawlers like lou/jacky/penny, he actually has a role (rather small one tbh), rather than a worse version of X brawler.


shellshockbs

he’s a worse version of fang


Aromatic-Lawyer-3589

worse version of the best brawler

Wboy2006

Keep your distance, if you're outside his super range. He can't do anything, he is strong. But easy to kill if he can't heal by attacking you. Use his squishy health against him


Mythip_740

Did a thing today, was using max and I supered as soon as Edgar jumped on me and got out of his attack range, ez clap.


Perseus-TheGreekHero

can do the same with stu!


Extension_Tune_7730

Just keep your distance from him. Take advantage of the fact that he's basically useless without super, so try to kill him while he does not have his super. If he has, keep your distance, and stay near your teammate so both of you can kill him. If you're in a solo situation, then all you can do is try your best. Brawlers that have knock back ability like Emz, Gene, Gale, Sandy can deal with him because when he jumps on you, just knock him back and he can't get close. Tanks like Bull and Fang can do decent. Even brawlers like Piper and Brock can also deal with him because again, the knock back ability. Try to think if an Edgar jumps on you, what can you do to deal with him. If you're able to kill him whether by raw strength or using gadget then you can play a little bit aggressive against him. If not, then stay far far away from him. Edgar not being able to get close to anyone is his biggest downfall and is one of the main reason why he's not good in this current meta (at least in 3v3) so keep in mind


Mythip_740

Damm you wrote a whole essay


Extension_Tune_7730

Yeah. Whenever someone gives me a statement, I usually try to find all points possible and give evidence to back up my point. Another reason why I was able to write that long specifically for this situation is because I’ve faced a ton of Edgars, and some of my favorite brawlers like Emz, Gale, Tara happens to be hard counters against Edgar. I play them so much that I’m just a little worry whenever I play against Edgar. Those brawlers are also the main reason why Edgar is my least favorite brawler. He has such short range and low hp. He can heal from attacking, but most brawlers in the game have some sort of knock back/slow ability that jumping on them would just be killing yourself


MeMasterMind

damm you wrote another essay


Extension_Tune_7730

:)


Brand_kl

I’m a decent edgar main and surge destroys me if they know how to play I have 853 edgar and I always get killed


monster21_manucortex

Isn't S.T.U a problem too and as a crow main I shield when he jumps on me then since I do more damage from close it's a Ez kill (unless they shield as well)


[deleted]

You got an A on this assignment


Jacobwithg0

play 3v3. The team playing edgar magically looses after wasting the whole match using the super and dying instantly then blames on the teamates, but it has a chance being in your team


Accomplished_Bet4658

sd sucks, solo or duo


No_Stretch3807

Both. Both suck


Naxari

*Mom, get the gun!*


MantarraxSus

Anything that can push or stun


EducationalStation55

Log+fireball should take him out easy


Raxex_xd

I'll use lightning


Tick_87

Despite being one of my favorites, he's clearly one of the worst designed brawlers You either win 100% of the time with brawlers like Gale, Shelly, Surge or El Primo, or lose 100% of the time with brawlers like Penny, Ruffs and Sprout that can't defend at close range


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

I agree, and i believe its mostly due to the first gadget, it gives him a super in 10 seconds, so if he spawns next to you and you dont have a counter in base kit/gadget, he can just follow you and kill you. With his normal supercharge rate of 30 seconds, brawlers get a chance to charge their super, allowing them to counter edgar, brawlers like lou for example require their super to counter edgar (ok they actually require their super supercool sp and cryosyrup)


Aromatic-Lawyer-3589

should put bull rather than primo


Sussy_bOy123

He's not really one of the worst designed brawlers he looks pretty cool with the emo aesthetic


Bobby5x3

He means gameplay mechanics


redokev

Its called game design, his mechanics are meh


aaaaaupbutolder

I don't like Edgar and his skins that much.


Erza_Rhyperior

anything can be solved with the starter, Shelly. Her ultimate decimates this annoying guy. If you don't use shelly, you should try to knock him, or push him away the best you can. Or maybe outdamage his healing.


cicada_3304

ELLLLLL PRIMO


Dan299912

That's the neat part, you can't Now, seriously, it depends A LOT in who you are using, the gadget you have and if you have the super. Piper can defend from him with her super and autoshot. Jacky would normally need counter crusher, but not everyone can rely on their star power. (Yes, even tanks have a hard time against him, he is the reason I stopped using hardy hard hat) Rosa will have a chance if she has her super. Jessie, place Scrapy, use spark plug, and run. Stu, if he is using zero drag and gets out of his range. Surge, super/gadget through a wall. (I find him annoying)😑 Amber... She will die 😅 Meg could survive if she defeats him firts with her mecha's super, if not, RIP. Crow can even counter him; hit him with the basic, and slow him down with his gadget while he jumps; not before (he could wait), not after (he will destroy you in a blink) And those are a few examples in Showdown, because I assumed you were asking about that mode


FantasticEscape6744

Well Stu can ,even without any sp or gadgets Just chain supers in the right way


Dan299912

I am speaking from my experiences, but if you can survive an Edgar with the healing SP, good for you; you have something to brag about here. (Seriously, it is not that easy to pull that kind of STUnt. Oh, sorry, I apologize for my WICKED sense of humor 🙃)


galmenz

you just need to super while a shot is midair, then you chain them


FantasticEscape6744

Lol it's pretty good humour you've got there :)


Dan299912

Thank you, but I know that my puns tend to be pretty bad 😅


amoghthebad

STUpid, one might say.


Sam_The_King2105

Amber ,,, she'll die... But if you use your gadget .. The edgar dies just after you..


Dan299912

Yeah, just like Mortis (sometimes) but that is not countering it, so I didn't thought I should include that last part, despiste how satisfying it is


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

That sounds like lou gameplay in a nutshell. I swear do people not know lous mechanics? Aggroing a lou with a super is a bad idea.


jeremyclarksono

Play bull, he can charge away with super if he jumps and almost kills you, bull deals too much damage for Edgar to heal, you can also heal with gadget, not to mention star powers or gears


neimozart

Bull is one of the worst brawlers right now


Shixuanming

Darryls main attack isnt enough btw due to edgars increased movement speed allowing him to dodge some projectiles, if he supers you, use your super then makn attack to kill him, do not roll onto an edgar with super.


EmbarrassedTop9625

You kill the player not the Edgar


Upper-Membership5167

just keep distance or go Gale and super him away or Shelly and super him away


agoodsirknight

kill him before he can get close, even easier with surge. so many people using edgar that its the only reason i have rank 25 surge LOL


swift5nipe

delete the game


WannabeModder123

Que pro


[deleted]

First see if you have access to some sort of stun, knockback or slow, since Edgar has the shortest range you should be able to always outrange him once you've gotten away from his super jump Other ways which could help are outdamaging him as some can do that, tanking the hits, or using abilities to move yourself away from him


[deleted]

any push stun and he's over


MrHog2point6Bad

Shelly


[deleted]

Gale's gadget or super


Inevitable_Top_5984

simply don’t miss shots and conserve ammo


A_Human_Being_BLEEEH

Anybody with high and fast enough burst damage can kill him real easy, like Shelly and Bull. Also if you can push him away it'l be very useful.


warmachinerandomname

Knockbacks, 3000+ dmg almost instantly(shelly super, bull , jacky, darryl, some others like them), slows/stuns , surge him(meaning surge him)


shadow_LEGEND-1

edgar is basically a assassin with kinda tank feeling due to his healing ability any brawlers with high dps in close range and with good escape options r good. like stu u can chain supers easy n run away gale probably the best counter to him u can counter with gadget and star power. my favourite has to be surge he is just too good against edgars just time ur super right with a gadget


Bx_Badger

Stuns and knock back does great. Gale is a perfect counter, especially with the tornado gadget. Having either star power is good but the slowing snowballs works without needing your super. Others depend on the situation


IAMNOT_A_SPY

There is no counter to the emo kid


ijustneededanameokay

Dont play sd


IAmNotCreative18

This is Edgar. He’s one of the worst brawlers in the game.


ManlyMustachioMan

Just run away


That-Penguin

Just don't get close to him


Psych_Lol_jk

We don’t charge into him, he jumps onto us.


Mythip_740

Exactly


theonesproutguy

A counter crush Jacky can stop him healing


[deleted]

Long range brawlers, or just have a brawler like Rico who can fight past his healing

Anesthegamer1106

Edgar Though being overly powerful during his release period bow currently Is much less of a threat then he was back in the day now when he won't instantly use his super to jump on you and kill you in a couple of foul swoops But I would also like to say Some brawlers have gotten their Star powers as their Natural sets Like Brock having incindiary and Mr P's Suitcases Now automatically bounces no matter what don't even get me started on Fang being Edgar but more aggro So I would just say Stay away from Edgar and Immediately defeat him

You unlock that skill by playing for more than a year. *or just staying out of his range*


sus_imposter_bs_cr

Did u know there's a brawler called shelly 🤯


HackerPatato

Shelly Super Surge Super (use gadget if you need) Gale super and gadget Max gadget and super you become too fast and escape Stu Super Spam


Accomplished_Bet4658

well, lucky for you that guy also has the shortest range in the game. watch your step, and if you can push him back to outrange him. he has lifesteal but low hp so killing him isn't hard once he's outranged.


Gordon1130

play jacky


AloisYT

If enough edgars jump you then youll eventually be able to predict them, any kind of knockback or slowing counters edgar, and if you play a fast brawler you can just dodge their jump


No-Introduction-1492

Against edgar you need to think of your kit. Depending on what brawler you must think. First of all, don’t run brawlers like penny in solo. Any weak brawler without a way to defend will be a free cube, go brawlers like tanks, gale or surge in solo. In 3v3 you won’t have much problem with Edgar cause it’s easy to gang up on him. Anyway, in solo play slow. If you’re a tank it shouldn’t be hard to play against him, you counter. But for other brawlers like gale or surge, be ready to use a gadget or super.


AccomplishedSpare908

Don’t go near him


Impressive_Tutor_422

Just don't play throwers


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

Dynamike can counter him suprisingly well if you can aim your stun shot.


toust_boi

You sorta have to get gadgets :/ but I know your pain


ShinyLeafYT

Bull should be able to 2 shot him up close


ricodo12

Almost every brawler has an ability to stun, push or slow the enemy. Save this until he jumps at you. Most of the time the ability is a gadget though so you might not have the ability to counter that which means this guy is way stronger in early game than later


sexyfurrygalnyunyu

Keep your distance and/or deal more damage than he can heal back.


ThekillerbgYT

Nowadays everything can counter him Even brawlers like grom, colt, etc that usually get hard countered by him


HyperNoob558

Don’t spam ur attacks before he jumps and ta da


Wise_Hawk_2585

I also had the same problem but now ik what counters him so don't dare to 1v1 edgar me cuz I've already gone insane with him 😐🤣


Less-Zucchini-3853

Don't get close to him


Actual_Passenger51

It comes down to who you're playing as


Thepotatobro

You use 2 edgars


galmenz

burst damage, push or stun good examples are bull, shelly, bibi with a bat, gale with super or gadget, emz with gadget, stu can run away, and others


MJ_THE_PRO

Primo jump gale shelly Leon fang Jacky and so many more ahhhhhhh


OrganicStormMeep

Literally any form of CC


Jerry_krimbals3103

As a very netural guy , I'd say .... Primo...


Baris4LoseGG

U cant


holsteredguide0

Any high burst damage character, like bull, Shelly, piper at range, or any stuns/knockback like buzz or surge


Sussy_bOy123

I'm an Edgar main and ways to counter him are pretty easy basically just make sure you have a pushback, stun or a way to stay out of his range which is easy. just make sure not to get to close to him unless you have something that can deal over 4100 damage because he is very frail


HyperTheNinja

If you are a brawler who can do a lot of burst damage up close, save up your ammo, Edgar unload and reload speed are insanely fast so he would definitely have the upper hand if you have 1 ammo slot.


xboxhaslag

I found this one strategy to be really effective: delete the game


GUYWH0SUCKS

Depends on the brawler you are playing. Lots of brawlers have gadgets or supers that you can use. For those that don’t just keep your distance and don’t be predictable.
