Bull
Shotgun bouncer · Close-range tank
Bull is a high-health tank who deals devastating damage at close range with his double-barreled shotgun. He is weak at a distance, but if he can use corners and bushes to get on top of an opponent, he melts most brawlers in seconds. His Super, a charge, closes the distance, breaks walls and knocks enemies back.

How to unlock Bull
Bull is a Rare brawler; you can unlock him by collecting Credits on the Starr Road or from Starr Drops. He is a character you can reach early in the game, ideal for learning close-range and tank play.
Attack and Super
Double-Barrel
Fires five shells in a fan from his double-barreled shotgun. Because the shells spread, he deals his real damage at close range; the closer you are to the opponent, the more shells hit.
Bulldozer
Bull charges forward at high speed; he breaks the walls in front of him, knocks back the enemies he hits and closes the distance instantly. It is used both to engage and to escape.
Star Powers
Berserker
When Bull's health drops below a certain threshold, his reload speed doubles. It lets him fire far more shells in critical moments.
Tough Guy
When Bull's health drops below a certain threshold, he gains a shield that reduces the damage he takes. It greatly improves his survival in close combat.
Gadgets
T-Bone Missile
Launches a projectile at the target brawler; if it hits, it deals damage and heals Bull. It is used to punish a fleeing opponent from range.
Stomper
Slams the ground to slow nearby enemies; a target that is already slowed gets stunned instead. It leaves the opponent you are on top of unable to escape.
Bull tips and strategy
- Bull is weak at range; use corners and bushes to approach the opponent unnoticed.
- Do not use your Super only for damage; also use it to break walls to reach the marksman in the back line, or to escape danger.
- Treat your high health like a shield; while applying pressure, knowing when to pull back is more effective than diving in blindly.
- Berserker rewards aggressive play and Tough Guy rewards durability; choose based on the map and the enemy team.
- Against long-range and area control brawlers (Barley, Brock), approach using cover rather than across open ground.
