Chester has always been the brawler to face hard criticism from players because of how he manages to maintain his position among the top-tier Brawlers in the game. Every Brawl Stars player might have encountered multiple matches where the Chester players on their team somehow end up with the most deaths and the fewest takedowns by the end of the game. But that doesn't really have to do with Chester, as he is a highly skill-demanding brawler that can thrive by the hands of a skilled player but is horrendous if you don't know how to play him right. In this Brawl Stars Chester Build Guide, we will provide the best build combinations to use, alongside explaining how his complex mechanics need to be utilized effectively.

Brawl Stars Chester Basic Info

Chester is a Legendary Brawler who belongs to the damage dealer class. He was released back in 2022 as the 62nd brawler in Brawl Stars. Stats-wise, he comes with moderately high health, quick movement speed, and an extremely high damage output that can deal damage from a long range. One of the most fascinating things about Chester is his Super that can also be called "Jack of all trades". It is a random super that comes with 5 different functionalities, making it one of the most broken Supers in the game.

How to Play Chester Better in Brawl Stars

One of the biggest reasons why you struggle with Chester is simply because you are not using him the way he is supposed to be played. Here are some of the mistakes and improvements you can apply to utilise his full potential:

Chester is not good because of his supers or gadgets. The supers are basically just a cherry on top of his attack kit that provides good damage, good AOE, fast reload speed and a long range.
Most players play around their Supers even if they do no actively plan on how to use them, but this can't be done with Chester. With Chester, you can just dominate using his attacks while improvising with whatever Super you get.
Lastly, many Chester players focus too much on his kit while completely ignoring positioning. Since Chester’s attack pattern heavily relies on spacing and angles, his supers are basically just a cherry on top of his attack kit.

Conclusion

Like a lot of other Brawlers, Chester is a brawler that can dominate your matches if used by a skilled player, but becomes a horrendous pick for players unfamiliar with his kit. Use the guide to know his playstyle, build him better and understand how he works.
