Brawlhalla: Best Stances by Legend in 2024
A list of the best stances for each Brawlhalla legend. Using the correct stance based on the legend’s strengths and your playstyle can you give an edge in battle.
Stats and stances
Each legend has a total of 22 stat points that are distributed among four stats: Strength, Dexterity, Defense, and Speed.
Each statistic goes from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 10, but no legend has a stat below 3 or above 9.
Strength determines the damage inflicted by the Legend and their knockback power. Note that Signature moves (heavy attacks) are not influenced by strength as they have their own damage and force values.
Dexterity affects attack speed, charge time for heavy attacks, and attack recovery time (only when using different attacks).
Defense is strictly connected to your survivability because it both reduces the damage received from all attacks and the power of knockback effects on yourself (the flying distance when struck).
Speed improves your movement speed when running and jumping, and also during attacks and dodges (it doesn’t extend the dodge duration).
While each stat has its own utility, and their usefulness also varies based on the legend and the weapon used, Defense, Speed, and Strength are considered the best stats in the current meta.
Each Legend has four different stances (Strength, Dexterity, Defense, Speed) that are unlocked by leveling up a specific legend.
Stances allow further customization for your legend. Each stance boosts a stat by 1, but also reduces another stat by the same amount.
For example, you can improve the survivability of a squishy legend by increasing his Defense stat, or raise the mobility of a slow one by selecting the Speed stance.
Best stances by legend
This list doesn’t contain personal opinions, but it is the result of a research work. I tried my best to find the stances preferred by high-ranked players on each legend.
Ada
Defense is the best option because Ada has only 3 base Defense. Some players prefer Dexterity, but that’s a subpar choice if you consider that the Dexterity stance decreases your Speed.
Arcadia
On Arcadia, the Speed stance is a must have.
Artemis
This is not an easy choice, but I suggest the Speed or Defense stances on Artemis for a more competitive gameplay.
Asuri
I recommend using the Strength stance on Asuri.
Azoth
Azoth lacks mobility, so Speed stance is the obvious choice.
Barraza
Barraza’s Base stance is pretty good, but the Speed one is better at higher ranks.
Bödvar
Bödvar can use both the Strength and the Speed stances without problems.
Brynn
The Base stance is viable, but the Strength one is certainly the best choice on Brynn.
Caspian
I recommend the Defense stance on Caspian.
Cassidy
Defense stance is the best option as Cassidy has only 4 Base Defense.
Cross
Speed stance is the best choice on Cross.
Diana
On Diana, you should use the Speed stance.
Dusk
Dusk is rather squishy so the Defense stance helps his survivability.
Ember
Defense is the best stance on Ember, but the Base one is also good.
Ezio
Ezio should stick with the Defense stance.
Fait
Defense is the best stance also for Fait.
Gnash
Gnash must use Defense, while Strength is the secondary option.
Hattori
You can use both the Speed and the Defense stances on Hattori.
Isaiah
Speed stance is the best choice on Isaiah.
Jaeyun
Strength is the best stance on Jaeyun, but he can use also Defense and Speed.
Jhala
On Jhala, I suggest either the Base or the Defense stances depending on your preference.
Jiro
Defense and Speed are the best stances on Jiro.
Kaya
The Base stance is a solid choice on Kaya, but alternatively you can use also the Strength one.
Koji
Defense is the only stance that makes sense on Koji.

Mako
On Mako, I suggest the Speed or Defense stance.

Magyar requires the Speed stance.

Defense and Strength are the best stances on Mirage.
Mordex
Strength is considered the best option on Mordex at high ranks, but Defense is also a potential choice.
Munin
The most recommended stances for Munin are Defense and Speed.
Queen Nai
The Base stance is not a poor choice, but the Speed one is the strongest option because Queen Nai is rather slow.
Nix
Nix works well with the Strength, Defense, and even Speed stances.
Onyx
The best stance on Onyx is Speed. Defense is also a viable choice.
Orion
I don’t think there is a definitive best stance on Orion, but overall I suggest Strength.

Ragnir
I recommend using the Defense stance on Ragnir.
Rayman
Rayman works well with the Base stance. Speed is overall the best option at higher ranks.

Speed stance is undoubtedly the best one on Scarlet.
Sentinel
Sentinel is viable with several stances, but overall I suggest Strength. Defense is the secondary option.
Seven
Seven needs to use the Speed stance.

Sidra is also viable with many stances. I recommend Defense, but you can use also Strength or Speed depending on your playstyle.
Sir Roland
Sir Roland has a very low base speed so you might consider the Speed stance.
