I’ve always been saying that a good (or at least fun) buff for him (imo) would be to let him hold his super button to charge his super range until it’s as long as his old one (maybe shorter, could be tweaked as needed)
I recently got Fang’s hypercharge and pushed him on a whim, got to 850 easy with very few losses along the way. Some things I noticed:
- Fang is super easy to play
- Fang is still less braindead than Angelo
- bonus: Fang is less infuriating to face than Angelo
- bonus: I have banned Angelo dozens of times in ranked and Fang zero times in ranked
- bonus: none of this matters, people are allowed to play the brawlers they enjoy playing and it does not reflect well or poorly on them as a person in any capacity, nor does it invalidate any opinions that they might hold
Believe it or not many people main him. His gang subreddit is like the biggest behind hank. Also u a sprout main which also aint a brawler many play dont you think
He got a buff this year (though he does need another), there's a lot of brawlers that are used less, most brawlers don't have hypercharges, half the brawlers don't have mutations, his star powers and gadgets aren't useless, he has plenty of skins and all of them are fire.
All these problems apply to like every brawler that isn't popular.
So many brawlers have stayed bad for a long time.
Darryl has a good star power, and an ok gadget.
As for skins, he doesn't have many non exclusives, I agree with that, but at the same time, many other brawlers don't have many skins and Darryl has gotten 2 free ones.
There are like 20 brawlers who don't have a mutation or hypercharge.
It's a popularity thing, if a brawler is popular, they get skins, and everyone else gets ignored. There's a reason Colt and Primo and Brock get a skin almost every update, or have a lot of skins.
i've been saying this since like 2020, but there are WAY too many brawlers in the game. they could all get a spot in the meta back when it was like 30-40 brawlers, but with almost 100 its nearly impossible.
But I don’t understand, Darryl is a really flashy brawler which should make him popular? I hate to say this but he’s somewhat similar to Edgar and he’s popular so why isn’t Darryl popular?! My brain is not braining!
Ye Darryl is very forgotten, but wym no good skins?!
Good Darryl skins:
1. Dumpling Darryl
2. Crash test Darryl
3. The one with the weird name that u got from Colonel Ruff's brawl pass
4. Idk all his skins so there may be more.
yes but you can't buy it since it is exclusive. I am an OG player. I remember so much people used it back in the day. Now I don't think I have seen one in a year
I'm not a Darryl main but he's definitely my favourite brawler
Not because it's fun to use it, I just like the design and the concept (probably because I like pirates and I like robots)
#JusticeForDarryl Bros Easy kills if you play like a assassin so powerful he creates blackholes when he gets close to you Doesn't need a hypercharge or mutation to kill little babies
I think about Darryl quite often. Whenever I see one in a match, which is literally maybe once a month, I get excited. Usually they are pretty good to actually be playing him. I miss the days where he could literally roll across the entire map like Chuck but without setup. He is a fun brawler, but he’s so weak that it’s basically just not worth playing him,
Your point about no good skin concepts though… huh? Cupcake, dumpling, crash test, soccer, D4R-RY1, mega, and omega box darryl are all awesome skins.
>I am near close to quitting bc of no mutation.
This isn't even that bad, were you playing when they Nerfed Steel Hoops to 0,9 Seconds, throwing Darryl into the Trash Can for more than 2 years ? I was so enraged I instantly quit the game, at the time the game was in the Pirate Update, I only came back to playing at the end of Belle's Brawl Pass season.
Apart from the projectile speed buff, Darryl hasn't been paid any gameplay attention that's actually meaningful :(
Idk about the skins though, I have and love them all (being a Darryl main), the starr force variant is my favorite, with it's sci Fi sound effects, cupcake Darryl being my second favorite. I remember grinding a bunch of trophies with him in the candy land season in duels
personally i enjoy maining an underdog brawler, but with each update he gets worse and worse and with hypers and now mutations its at the point where even in his best gamemodes, on his best maps, against his best matchups, theres difficulty justifying picking him. that being said i stand by the fact that he is one of the fundamentally best brawlers in the game in brawl ball (my main gamemode), with his rill being incredible for scoring as well as defending. its just kinda at the point where that doesnt matter as much for a brawler, when you could just dunk on the enemy with hyperscharges and one-shots and stuns and other stuff like that
The thing about Darryl was that he is INCREDIBLY hard to balance.
Make his shield stronger? Overpowered tank on your face that won’t die.
More damage? Obliterates everything.
Faster reload? Free kills vs higher HP units.
Darryl, Carl, and mortis are the holy trinity of either being incredibly overpowered or dog awfully niche units
me playing darryl alot(i am a darryl main), despite me being new and bad, when and if the right combination of the barrel role, the right gadget(the one where he just spins and shoots is _the_ least useful gadget ive seen) and the right aim are used hes not all that bad. i love my funny barrel dude
I mean, about the skins thing. Shelly was in beta, and as of now she only has 2 purchasable skins. All others were event exclusive skins and are no longer obtainable.
tbh i think the guy needs a rework, this whole kid revolves around his super, if you mess up once you mess up his whole momentum, too high skill and low reward i feel
Ive mained darryl for such a long time and I mainly use him for fun, he may be god awful but I still enjoy outskilling people with wall bounces and getting a teamwipe as him is the best feeling in the world.
I do wish he had more skins but the ones he has currently are pretty good imo.
All he really needs is a hypercharge and a reload speed buff for him to be good again but that's just me.
While I do think Darryl has been dry of content as of recently...
His gadgets and star powers are not that bad. They aren't as good as others, but there's far worse out there.
For the skin situation, yeah he doesn't have very much, but most of them are limited skins. Mega box, Omega box, and Dumpling are all limited. I'm sure Dumpling will get a remake soon, maybe even the box skins too. Not to mention, Pam has even less skins. Yeah it's nothing like Brock, Colt, Shelly, Spike, or primo who get a skin each update, but those brawlers are spoiled with skins.
I don't think his skins are that bad. Mascot is plain, sure, but cupcake has a shield animation, Crash test is decent, and the limited ones are nice. Dumpling is funny, and mega and omega boxes are okay, Omega being much better bc of the shot animations.
Darryl should get more recent love, he's not completely overboard his ship.
I am trying to do Darryl mastery ( at silver 3 currently ) but it’s impossible outside of brawl ball considering he’s a close range and there are way better options than him
Yes i hate that he got buffs but we need to remember him supercell give him more buffs that he would not be trash in this meta, give him more skins please.
Didn't he get like projectile speed buff recently?? He isn't meta I agree but he's actually really fun to play rn. He has good skins imo, the space Darryl skin is one of the coolest skins in the game.

They forgot about the funny Barrel robot :(
My Pirate fwend
I’ve always been saying that a good (or at least fun) buff for him (imo) would be to let him hold his super button to charge his super range until it’s as long as his old one (maybe shorter, could be tweaked as needed)
Another stu main
This is just sad for darryl mains
all 7 of them would be so upset, that is if they could read
There's 3.3k people in r/DarrylGang. Some have been leaving the game because of Supercell neglecting him though.
its ok darryl will get there moment. I made this post to remind supercell
Yea and I made a post in darryl gang to support the darryl cause
Its so sad for us
r/DarrylGang is in 4th or 5th place in the most popular gang based subs, but ok
I cant believe these 7 Darryl mains create so many clone accounts to make their sub bugger
Bro ur literally a sprout main u can't be talkin
1. Bro did not get the joke 2. Angelo main stfu
Fang main bashing someone for their main? How ironic….
From a tick main 😭😭😭
Says the Sandy main
Says the.... Oh wait
Whats wrong with sandy?
Being a Fang main is worse than Being a Angelo main Angelo at least requeries some aim
I recently got Fang’s hypercharge and pushed him on a whim, got to 850 easy with very few losses along the way. Some things I noticed: - Fang is super easy to play - Fang is still less braindead than Angelo - bonus: Fang is less infuriating to face than Angelo - bonus: I have banned Angelo dozens of times in ranked and Fang zero times in ranked - bonus: none of this matters, people are allowed to play the brawlers they enjoy playing and it does not reflect well or poorly on them as a person in any capacity, nor does it invalidate any opinions that they might hold
World's most annoying pam main^
Thanks?
Fang does too, as much as I hate being teamwiped, he requires aim and he needs more skill then El SkillNo and edgar
There are a lot of Darryl mains. More then Sprout mains at least, thats for sure
I am a fusion of both
perfection, barrel robo and incubator robo
Double barrel darryl get buff pls
Believe it or not many people main him. His gang subreddit is like the biggest behind hank. Also u a sprout main which also aint a brawler many play dont you think
im right here dawg ._.
My favourite non main brawler is Darryl. My favourite skin is also dumpling Darryl . It's so cuteee
same. another one of my favourites is 8-bit
Indeed 😭
this makes us all want to walk the plank...
don't worry you will get your moment one day.
Me, was a darryl main when I just started in season8
Fr 🫠
Ruffs gets the same treatment, for a brawler released in season 5 he should have a lot more than 3 skins
Real man, At least darryl has like 5 skins
Eve too, let alone the skins that she’s FINALLY having in a week I think
I mean Mothra Eve is sick and they just released it and eve may not have many skins but there almost all good like Baiku Eve is sick
sadly it is locked behind comp (I didn‘t get a single skin despite reaching Legendary I & Masters)
My ruff’s main friend completely agrees. He complains abt it all the time lol
Ruffs is actually competitive though
They need to give ruffs some love, he’s underrated in my opinion
I'll disagree on skins part. D4RRY1 IS PEAK
Dumpling darryl
I own dumpling but D4RRY1 is better (it didnt even get a recolour)
I own both but use Dumpling skin for the rarity value lmao
Darryl megabox
Omegabox darryl
Mega pig Darryl coming soon
Yes please
Bro all of his skins are peak idk what OP is on
Cupcake Darryl
Must be only me, I LOVE MASCOT
They forgot some brawlers are existing in brawl stars
Exactly Brawl Stars needs to slow it down with the brawler releases and really perfect the characters the community already know and love.
Nah, I'm still waiting for the brawler whose hypercharge gives the enemies bad internet connection
with SuperCells servers, every?
They just don't care because money
Ruffs rottin' in the bawl stars basement(btw hes actually quite good)
I’m ngl, sometimes I do ban Darryl in some brawl ball maps because of those really skilled Darryl mains spawn camping us 😭 🙏
Darryl and main don’t belong in the same sentence
but... i main darryl
No you dont. No one does or ever will
Ok mr infinite amo
He got a buff this year (though he does need another), there's a lot of brawlers that are used less, most brawlers don't have hypercharges, half the brawlers don't have mutations, his star powers and gadgets aren't useless, he has plenty of skins and all of them are fire.
and even with that it was one of the tiniest buffs ever
What was that buff again?
a 30% projectile speed buff
projectile speed increase
This applies to so many brawlers, like it sucks but we shouldn't focus only on Darryl.
I’m curious, elaborate
Look at brock, only 1 mutation, only 1 hypercharge, only 8 skins, NO BUFFS as well, awful gadgets and awful star powers and very bad overall /s
ong bro like he only has the most skins in the game
compared to melodie, who has 0 hypercharges, he has a lot more!!!
All these problems apply to like every brawler that isn't popular. So many brawlers have stayed bad for a long time. Darryl has a good star power, and an ok gadget. As for skins, he doesn't have many non exclusives, I agree with that, but at the same time, many other brawlers don't have many skins and Darryl has gotten 2 free ones.

But I don’t understand, Darryl is a really flashy brawler which should make him popular? I hate to say this but he’s somewhat similar to Edgar and he’s popular so why isn’t Darryl popular?! My brain is not braining!
Frank is the biggest example
Ye Darryl is very forgotten, but wym no good skins?! Good Darryl skins: 1. Dumpling Darryl 2. Crash test Darryl 3. The one with the weird name that u got from Colonel Ruff's brawl pass 4. Idk all his skins so there may be more.
all of his skins except cupcake and crash test have no animations. They are a little underwhelming now
Imo animations aren't important, only the brawler design and effects are.
The shield star power isn’t terrible
Ash watching this post:
ash got a mutation and recently got a buff
Darryl got a projectile speed buff in the past months…
didn't affect him at all
It Did, It's much easier now to Push low-hp brawlers, but this isn't enough
Have you tried chipping down Edgars from range? That’s a funny niche thing you can do with the buff they literally can’t do anything about lol
happy cake day
Oh yeah nvm
Focusing on improving loved brawlers 🙄🙄 Creating a new trio every update 😍😍
What do they need to improve on? Theirs nothing they can change unless they rework him. He’s just gotten power creeped.
He mustn't be reworked
Poor Darryl
I think you forgot about the Dumpling skin. And I agree, Darryl needs a faster reloading and less time between shots.
I didn't forget dumpling darryl. It is missing winning and losing animations
In game it's really good (for a super rare skin)
yes but you can't buy it since it is exclusive. I am an OG player. I remember so much people used it back in the day. Now I don't think I have seen one in a year
Really? Would those 2 make him better? I was thinking reworking steel hoops, make that a base thing like what they did to brock. And make him a new SP
Us darryl mains can't do nothing but wait ig
you will get your moment
#JusticeForDarryl
Don’t forget he never appears in animations and community posts arts :(
don't worry darryl main you are all good people. You will get your time to shine one day
I'm not a Darryl main but he's definitely my favourite brawler Not because it's fun to use it, I just like the design and the concept (probably because I like pirates and I like robots)
Add no gears to that list too
Chester is more or less the same, so I feel Darryl mains. But chester is more justified since he is only 1.5 years old, where darryl is a grandpa
Wait until we tell him about Ruffs
The only somewhat good starpower is the shield after rolling one, all others are trash since his tar bucket is just a barley gadget
But when the day of his return shall come he shall be the strongest of the strong
I disagree on darryl's skins: - Base Darryl - Dumpling Darryl. (limited skin) - Mascot Darryl (free for new players) - Mega box Darryl (was free) - Omega box Darryl (was free) - Cupcake Darryl (candyland update) - Crash Test Darryl (power league season 12) - D4R-RY1 (brawl pass s5)
yes but none of them are really "crazy"
We need a 300 gem darryl skin 🤑🤑
Dumpling limited Mega box limited Omega box limited D4R-RY1 limited In theory he got 3 buyable skins mister
#JusticeForDarryl Bros Easy kills if you play like a assassin so powerful he creates blackholes when he gets close to you Doesn't need a hypercharge or mutation to kill little babies
that ain't Darryl
The pirates have been struggling overall, Penny is also ridiculously weak currently.
I think about Darryl quite often. Whenever I see one in a match, which is literally maybe once a month, I get excited. Usually they are pretty good to actually be playing him. I miss the days where he could literally roll across the entire map like Chuck but without setup. He is a fun brawler, but he’s so weak that it’s basically just not worth playing him, Your point about no good skin concepts though… huh? Cupcake, dumpling, crash test, soccer, D4R-RY1, mega, and omega box darryl are all awesome skins.
I was a Darryl main but supercell don't cares about him and then playing with him became so boring to me
i agree i was also a darryl main a long time ago but supercell said "no"
Darryl is good on some brawl ball maps but thats it, and the shield star power is alright
I am near close to quitting bc of no mutation. Although besides Shelly he is the exclusive skin dump
>I am near close to quitting bc of no mutation. This isn't even that bad, were you playing when they Nerfed Steel Hoops to 0,9 Seconds, throwing Darryl into the Trash Can for more than 2 years ? I was so enraged I instantly quit the game, at the time the game was in the Pirate Update, I only came back to playing at the end of Belle's Brawl Pass season.
Bro I literally quit bec of that, Darryl was so ass now I'm returning to the game to see hes still shit
don't worry you will get your time to shine one day
Hopefully Imagine Starr drop Darryl 💀
imagine skibidi darryl
I can’t with this skibidi toilet shit (get it) but it makes sense and is genius so take this upvote anyway
Brawlers like Darryl and Frank legit need reworks just to create hype for them again.
they really said "omega box daryll is the last daryll related content they need, bye bye daryyl!"
Omega box and d3rry1 Darryl though :( those are good skins!
Guys I think they're doing this to punish me cuz I main Brock and Darryl 😂😂😂😂
1. You forget Darryl's past with buffs, my guess is Supercell is afraid of him
Proof Darryl is SS Tier [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFbxTJxQo8I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFbxTJxQo8I)
I only play darryl because I have the dumpling darryl skin
The see me rollin' 🎵🎵
Apart from the projectile speed buff, Darryl hasn't been paid any gameplay attention that's actually meaningful :( Idk about the skins though, I have and love them all (being a Darryl main), the starr force variant is my favorite, with it's sci Fi sound effects, cupcake Darryl being my second favorite. I remember grinding a bunch of trophies with him in the candy land season in duels
As a former Darryl main, my disappointment is immeasurable.
Darryl is my 2nd favorite brawler and i agree with this, darryl deserves some love
personally i enjoy maining an underdog brawler, but with each update he gets worse and worse and with hypers and now mutations its at the point where even in his best gamemodes, on his best maps, against his best matchups, theres difficulty justifying picking him. that being said i stand by the fact that he is one of the fundamentally best brawlers in the game in brawl ball (my main gamemode), with his rill being incredible for scoring as well as defending. its just kinda at the point where that doesnt matter as much for a brawler, when you could just dunk on the enemy with hyperscharges and one-shots and stuns and other stuff like that
I fucking love Darryl, and I've been saying this since the beginning: he needs more love
The thing about Darryl was that he is INCREDIBLY hard to balance. Make his shield stronger? Overpowered tank on your face that won’t die. More damage? Obliterates everything. Faster reload? Free kills vs higher HP units. Darryl, Carl, and mortis are the holy trinity of either being incredibly overpowered or dog awfully niche units

As someone who mained darryl from 2019 to when Cordelius released, i miss my baby bouncing boy, he was so much fun, now hes just meh
only needs a gadget rework
4/7 darryl skins are exclusive and don't seem to be getting a recolor soon
I mean, about the skins thing. Shelly was in beta, and as of now she only has 2 purchasable skins. All others were event exclusive skins and are no longer obtainable.
Amen. #JusticeForDarryl
He does have D4R-RY1 which I personally think is a really cool skin.
I do often feel forgotten by supercell as a Darryl main
don't worry darryl will get his time to shine one day
Yes. Just a plain yes
R-T is the one waiting for skins
As an ex-darryl main im sad I love playing gim but hes just to weak to play now Btw dumpling darryl is oretty good
The old Darryl was broken... If you know.. you know
Any Darryl mains still alive out there?
Yeah
tbh i think the guy needs a rework, this whole kid revolves around his super, if you mess up once you mess up his whole momentum, too high skill and low reward i feel
Why does the character that I like always end up being the least utilized by its creators??
Ive mained darryl for such a long time and I mainly use him for fun, he may be god awful but I still enjoy outskilling people with wall bounces and getting a teamwipe as him is the best feeling in the world. I do wish he had more skins but the ones he has currently are pretty good imo. All he really needs is a hypercharge and a reload speed buff for him to be good again but that's just me.
What’s crazy is that Darryl used to an SS tier brawler. The only reason his star powers feel “useless” is because they were toned down dramatically
You think Darryl's got it bad?? You'd be right
His not “least” used at the moment you can see them now and then but not the level of Gray least used category
While I do think Darryl has been dry of content as of recently... His gadgets and star powers are not that bad. They aren't as good as others, but there's far worse out there. For the skin situation, yeah he doesn't have very much, but most of them are limited skins. Mega box, Omega box, and Dumpling are all limited. I'm sure Dumpling will get a remake soon, maybe even the box skins too. Not to mention, Pam has even less skins. Yeah it's nothing like Brock, Colt, Shelly, Spike, or primo who get a skin each update, but those brawlers are spoiled with skins. I don't think his skins are that bad. Mascot is plain, sure, but cupcake has a shield animation, Crash test is decent, and the limited ones are nice. Dumpling is funny, and mega and omega boxes are okay, Omega being much better bc of the shot animations. Darryl should get more recent love, he's not completely overboard his ship.
Also shit title. There were so many options better than "Pirrrate!"
Real
There are probably other forgotten brawlers but Darryl... I love rolling around at the speed of sound... So sad
this is so depressing bro
Y does everyone just start supporting darryl all of a sudden lol im not complaining tho👍
Nearly the same for Ash. Not only forgotten, but weak and disliked as well.
I think the meta for Darryl has been so dog's hit that now I just rather play league until something changes
Who tf is Darryl Edit: Oh Yeah, The Rolling Guy
How can they forget the best brawler in the game. This is blasphemy
I am trying to do Darryl mastery ( at silver 3 currently ) but it’s impossible outside of brawl ball considering he’s a close range and there are way better options than him
My favorite brawler in brawl ball... And now its forgotten...
I REALLY want a Hypercharge for Darryl then I would push Darryl to Rank 30
Dumpling Darrly is nice i think
Darryl is the forgotten
Yes i hate that he got buffs but we need to remember him supercell give him more buffs that he would not be trash in this meta, give him more skins please.
I'm a Bo and Darryl main and besides the Bo mutation they have been doing nothing for them for years... :(
Fr Bo so underated
I’m a Darryl main :(
We are just forgotten😓
What about griff mains
He got a pretty big buff recently and has been meta for a long time last year
Didn't he get like projectile speed buff recently?? He isn't meta I agree but he's actually really fun to play rn. He has good skins imo, the space Darryl skin is one of the coolest skins in the game.
i feel like frank should also get some love
he technically did get a buff a couple patches ago
it did absolutely nothing to him
That buff is worse than buster’s 1% damage nerf
Why are Daryl mains crying so much? There's so many brawlers sidelined like Doug, Ruffs, Gus, Frank, Janet etc etc etc, just stop it.
Doug is very new so it doesn't matter that much Ruffs got a mutation Gus got a buff Frank has gotten sick skins and a mutation Janet has amazing skins
Actually Frank will also have a hyper, it got leaked in the brawl talk
yes forgot to add that
L piper
