Brawl Stars Bo Skills and Abilities

Attack

Bo's attack is called "Eagle-Eyed", where he fires off three projectiles arrows with a little spread. These arrows has a fairly long range and does an explosion damage in the area of 1 tile radius on hit.

Super

Bo's Super is called "Catch a Fox", and it is a great utility skill. Using the Super, Bo fires an arrow in the air that spawns three land mines on the ground upon landing. This arrow can only land on the ground and bypass an obstacle to land on the nearest piece of ground. One can momentarily see the location of the mines right after the landing of the arrow before they become invisible. If someone triggered the mine, it will explode within 1.15 seconds after beeping and flashing.

Hypercharge

Bo's Hypercharge is called "Catch a Bear". When activated, Bo's Super gets enhanced, and it deploys 2 extra mine which is 5 in total. Moreover, the mines will cover an even larger area than before. Remember that these mines will not replace the regular mines from his Super.

Using the Hypercharge, Bo gains 20% extra speed boost, 5% damage and 5% shield boost. Additionally, he also gains an extra arrow for his Attack with the Buffie.

Brawl Stars Bo Best Build

Gadgets

Here are the Gadget options for Bo:

Gadget Name

Description

Cooldown

Appearance

Super Totem

Bo places a totem pole on the ground that increases allies' Super charging rate by 50%. The totem will lose hitpoints every second until it is destroyed.

With buffie, the totem gains extra radius.

19 seconds

Tripwire

Bo fires tripwires at his mines, detonating them and dealing 1440 damage to anyone hit by a tripwire.

With the buffie, the mines gain a blast radius that is twice as big.

8 seconds

For the Gadgets, the Super Totem is the most preferable Gadget because of the ability to let your allies use their Super more frequently. Tripwire is not a very suitable option, but you can still use it to poke your enemies with an element of surprise.

Star Powers

Here are the Star Powers options for Bo:

Gadget Name

Description

Appearance

Circling Eagle

This allows Bo and his allies to see enemies hidden in bush in a 5 tiles radius around him.

With the buffie, Bo's location will remain hidden when attacking from a bush.

Snare a Bear

Instead of the knockback on explosions, the enemy will get stunned for 2 seconds.

With the buffie, Bo's trap placing speed increases by 50%.

For the Star Powers, Snare a Bear is the most preferred gadget by players. It's mainly due to the projectile speed boost and the 2-second stun from explosions. In an intense fight, 2 seconds stun can be lethal. While playing a bushy map, one can use the Circling Eagle with Tripwire for more impact.

Gears

For the gears, it's mainly Damage and Shield combinations that players love to use for more burst and more survivability. But playing on the "Circling Eagle", you can switch the shield with the Vision gear.

How to Play Bo Better in Brawl Stars

Here are some tips that will help you master Bo and maximize his impact in every match:

Bo is a very versatile brawler and can be played in any mode but he struggles in Solo showdown due to his weakness in face to face encounters.
Your totem can also act as a shield for you. Place it at the right time to block a lethal shot.
Use the traps to destroy enemy cover and goalposts in Brawl Ball and make use of the high health to just walk the ball into the enemy goal.
Try to take more control of the map and space because that is what Bo's kit specializes in. You can't let your enemies close the gap between them and yourself.

Conclusion

Overall, Bo is a brawler that thrives in the hands of a player who knows how to control the map and can make your enemies suffer with a lack of space. His traps, stuns, damage, and vision make him the best possible ally for any team.
