Shade’s abilities make it highly adaptable in battle, with unique traits that set it apart. Shade’s attack pattern and movement abilities make it suitable for various game modes, especially where area control is critical.
Health: Moderate (ideal for sustaining attacks)
Attack Range: Wide arc with increased damage at the center
Super Duration: 5 seconds with a speed boost
Recharge Rate for Super: Based on enemy proximity
Traits: Unique Skills and Advantages
The battle between angels and demons intensifies in Nulls Brawl, with Brawl Stars Shade taking center stage. This Epic Brawler’s balanced health, versatile attacks, and powerful Super ability make him a formidable force. Whether supporting the angels or fighting for the demons, Shade’s adaptability and skills are key to victory in this epic clash! Juju and Shade are two new brawlers introduced in the Nulls Brawl update 58.279.
Shade’s traits bring innovation just like Lumi and Finx introduced in Null’s Brawl v60.420, especially with water mobility and radius-based charge mechanics.
Traits: Unique Skills and Advantages
Shade’s two core traits provide it with an edge, enhancing both its mobility and its capacity to charge its Super.
Trait 1: Radius Super Charge
Effect: Shade’s Super ability passively charges when enemy Brawlers are within a 5-tile radius.
Charging Rate: 6.75% per second per enemy within the radius (one enemy takes about 15 seconds to fully charge the Super).
Advantages: Even invisible or bush-camping enemies within the radius contribute to Shade’s Super charge, making it versatile in enemy-dense areas.
Trait 2: Water Mobility
Effect: Shade can move freely over water.
Advantages: Provides unique positioning options and access to water-covered zones, giving it strategic mobility that many other Brawlers lack.
Health: Gris-Gris has more health than Juju, allowing it to act as a tank, soaking up damage and disrupting enemies.
Attacking with Shade: The Haunted Hug
Shade’s primary attack, Haunted Hug, allows it to strike enemies in a wide arc with a unique damage boost for those caught in the center.
Attack Pattern: 150-degree arc, capable of hitting enemies through walls, with a 0.35-second wind-up.
Damage: Enemies hit in the center take double damage, enhancing its effectiveness in close-range combat.
Advantages: The wide arc and wall-penetrating capability make it ideal for targeting multiple enemies, especially in crowded or obstacle-heavy maps.
Shade’s Super: Incorporeal Form
Shade’s Super, Incorporeal Form, allows it to briefly leave the physical world, granting unique benefits that can be pivotal in high-stakes battles.
Duration: 5 seconds
Effects:
- Obstacle Phasing: Shade can pass through walls, enemies, and other objects during this time.
- Speed Boost: Shade’s movement speed increases, allowing for quick repositioning.
Usage Tips:
Use Incorporeal Form to escape tight spots, chase fleeing enemies, or maneuver through obstacles that would hinder other Brawlers. While Moe focuses on physical transformations, Nulls Brawl Moe’s alternate form shows a similar level of complexity to Shade’s ghostly Super.
Gadgets: Enhancing Shade’s Combat Prowess
Shade comes equipped with two powerful Gadgets that amplify its attacking capabilities and crowd control.
Gadget 1: Longarms
Effect: The range of Shade’s next attack increases by 50%, extending it by 1.67 tiles.
Cooldown: Starts immediately after the enhanced attack is executed.
Usage Tips: Utilize Longarms when enemies are slightly out of reach, or to make the most of tight encounters where extra range can deal additional damage.
Gadget 2: Jump Scare
Effect: Creates a 2-tile radius aura around Shade that slows enemies within it for 4 seconds.
Usage Tips: Jump Scare is particularly effective for controlling multiple enemies in close quarters or slowing high-speed Brawlers, giving your team time to mount an offensive.
If you’re playing on version 57.325 or above, make sure you’ve updated to access Shade’s Gadget abilities in the latest build.
Star Powers: Maximizing Shade’s Potential
Shade’s Star Powers allow for further customization, enhancing its speed and defense during combat.
Star Power 1: Spooky Speedster
Effect: When Shade lands a hit in the center of its attack, it gains a temporary speed boost.
Usage Tips: This ability stacks, so targeting multiple enemies at once in the center can significantly boost Shade’s movement speed, making it harder to hit while allowing for quick repositioning.
Just like Kenji’s Star Powers, Shade’s “Spooky Speedster” and “Hardened Hoodie” open up unique offensive and defensive possibilities.
Star Power 2: Hardened Hoodie
Effect: Provides a 30% damage reduction while in Incorporeal Form.
Usage Tips: Hardened Hoodie is ideal for aggressive strategies, allowing Shade to dive into the fray without worrying about taking excessive damage. This shielded form works well when engaging high-damage Brawlers.
