Rico in Brawl Stars: What Does It Mean?

Rico is a unique brawler in Brawl Stars, known for his ricocheting bullets and agility. He is classified as a Super Rare brawler and brings a distinctive playstyle to the game with his bouncing projectiles.

Abilities and Attacks

  • Main Attack: Bouncy Bullets

    Rico's main attack fires a burst of bullets that can bounce off walls. This ability allows him to reach enemies hiding behind obstacles, making him highly effective in maps with lots of cover. The ricochet effect also increases damage potential, as bullets can hit multiple targets.

  • Super Ability: Trick Shot

    Rico's Super, Trick Shot, launches a barrage of bouncing bullets over a longer distance. This ability is excellent for crowd control and dealing with groups of enemies. Like his main attack, these bullets also bounce off walls, allowing strategic plays and surprise attacks from unexpected angles.

Strategies for Playing Rico

  1. Utilize Walls to Your Advantage: Rico's strength lies in his ability to shoot around corners. Use walls to bounce bullets and reach enemies who think they are safe behind cover.

  2. Control the Battlefield: His Super can control lanes and deter enemy advancements. Use it to clear or control high-traffic areas, especially in modes like Gem Grab or Brawl Ball.

  3. Stay Mobile: Rico is relatively fragile, so maintaining a safe distance and constantly moving is crucial. Use his speed to avoid direct confrontations and rely on bounce shots to wear down opponents.

Star Powers and Gadgets

Rico's effectiveness can be further enhanced with his Star Powers and Gadgets:

  • Star Power: Super Bouncy

    This power increases the damage of his bullets after they bounce off walls, making it essential for maximizing his damage output.

  • Star Power: Robo Retreat

    Rico gains a speed boost when his health falls below a certain threshold, allowing him to escape dangerous situations quickly.

  • Gadget: Multiball Launcher

    Rico fires additional bouncing balls in all directions, great for close-quarters combat or when surrounded.
