Brawl Stars Hank Guide: Abilities Breakdown

Hank’s Traits/Passive

Hank’s unique trait allows you to charge his Super by taking damage from enemy Brawlers or spawnables, though the Super’s charge rate depends on how much damage they deal.

Attack: Balloon Blast

Hank’s attack is called Balloon Blast. He starts blowing up a water balloon from his tank that explodes after he releases fire or after 6 seconds, dealing increased area damage, max achieved at 3 seconds. Hank only has 1 ammo that recharges fast (like Amber).

The longer you hold the main attack, the deadlier the blast. The balloon can pierce multiple enemies and hit enemies behind walls.

Super: Fish Torpedo 

Hank deploys fish torpedoes in all directions around him that continue traveling until they hit a target or a wall, causing small area damage, and heals for 50% of his missing health. 6 torpedoes are fired in all directions around which deal devastating damage at point-blank range, where more torpedoes can hit the enemy.

Tips for using Hank’ Super

• Catch enemies off guard: You can use Hank’s Super to deal massive damage to grouped enemies. Even if they are not very close, you can still hit multiple enemies with your fish torpedoes.
• Use it to zone enemies: You can also use the Super to force enemies to back off or reposition. It doesn’t matter if your torpedoes hit them or not, you can still create space.
• Use it to ambush: You can hide in the bush, and use the Super to ambush enemies up close, and follow it up with your main Attack.

Best Game Modes for Hank

Hank is a powerful and versatile tank brawler who can deal massive damage with his balloon blast and his super. He proves to be very effective in various game modes, and here are his best game modes:

• Hot Zone: Hank is a great pick in Hot Zone, thanks to his potential to hold areas while creating pressing enemies with his heavy damage-dealing primary attack. Moreover, his high HP makes him even more effective, perfect for locking the zones.
• Brawl Ball: He works pretty well in both 3v3 and 5v5 Brawl Ball mode. With his Balloon Blast attack, you can easily clear paths and use his Super to disrupt enemies and create openings for your team to score.
• Showdown: Hank is very powerful in Showdown, especially in maps with a lot of bushes. You can do surprise attacks on your enemies, and also evade, thanks to Hank’s high sustainability.
• Knockout: Even in Knockout, you can easily dominate with Hank if you play it safe and wait for the right moment, while punishing over-aggressive enemy Brawlers.

Best Brawler Combination with Hank

Hank is a powerful tank brawler who excels at close to medium-range combat and can take a lot of hits, while having some drawbacks. To maximise his potential, you can pair him with other Brawlers. Jae-yong, the new support Brawler, proves to be a great teammate, especially in modes like Knockout.

Talking about support, even Byron synergises well with Hank, making you unkillable if the Supers are timed well. Gene also works well, with his pull setting up your charged attack perfectly. In open maps, Piper provides great support as a Marksman Brawler, covering you from behind with long-range shots.

Best Gears for Hank in Brawl Stars

The best gear for Hank depends on personal preference and the situation of the player. However, some possible options are:

Health Gear

The Health Gear greatly improves your sustainability, which is also very important as a Tank Brawler. By equipping this gear, you recover Health 50% more effectively than usual, allowing you to stay longer in battles.

Damage Gear

As a Tank Brawler that already has solid damage, you can further increase it with the help of Damage Gear. With this, you gain a 15% damage boost when your HP drops below 50%, enhancing your damage capabilities even more.
