Got bored. Made a solo guide.
So I'll be going through every single brawler (eventually) in this book, what to play, which map, how to counter, metas, endgames, best builds, and more! The perfect 100% guide for one to push anyone in showdown.
Game...
User-friendly: 8/10 Damage: 8/10 Survivability: 7/10 Likelihood of defeating Edgar: 3/5 Your chances are horrible without a super, but you can kill anyone with it, including Edgar easily (it's actually so broken) Box-breaking abilities: 2/5 Ok reload and unload. Horrible damage. Will usually take you 5-4 shots per box -_- Solo Showdown: 8.5/10
Colette is a popular showdown brawler, with insane dps with a super, a very broken gadget, and a single-shot dmg of almost 4000! She's pretty good in most modes (especially that heist map) so you don't have to rely on solo to push, but rank 30 is pretty easy using her.
Best build: Gadget: Gotcha! On activation, Colette's shots heal herself for 5 seconds for 80% of the damage dealt. you hit one shot on tank = full health Very useful for A. countering backstab* B. Surviving Is a must have for pushing Colette! *tip: if you get backstabbed, don't panic and auto-aim. Colette will heal more if she deals more dmg, so it's best to use it on enemies with full health. Pop gadget first, then spam.
Star power: both
Both are ok! I suggest using Push it for 0-700 matches and Mass Tax for the remaining. It might be different for you- just switch to Mass Tax when you stop getting assassins in your lobby/ everyone is teaming.
Colette's Super gives her a 20% shield for 5.0 seconds. Every enemy Brawler hit by it will add 10% more protection.* Pretty good starpower. 20% shield is a lot, and 5 secs is also a lot. However, you're not guaranteed to hit the same enemy twice if you use this one. You also have nothing against assassins. *this also implies that you are immune if you hit 8 or more people at once!
All enemy Brawlers hit by Colette's charge are carried to the farthest point of the attack! Use it when fending off assassins. You're much more vulnerable with this one, but you're guaranteed to hit an enemy twice with this starpower (which will charge half of your super) so that's pretty good as well. You can also make some cheese plays and push enemies into the storm! (Like this)*

*this works best with a map with lots of water where you can trap opponent, but this is challenging and I suggest you not try it if you're at critical health since opponents will get chances to hit you.
Gears: damage and shield Other gears are useless on her.
People finally started acknowledging how good she is! 🥹 honestly one of my favourite brawlers, she's so fun to play
Main Attack: Taxing Shot Deals 37% of opponent's current health. Powercube buffs are applied after base dmg is calculated. She deals a minimum dmg of around 800 (I think). Deals 1500 dmg to boxes and stuff that can't move.
Super: Time to Collect 📔 4-hit charge. Colette dashes across a long distance quickly and deals 20% of the opponents maximum health, with 40% damage in total if you hit twice. Each hit charges 25% super, so if you hit at least 2 enemies perfectly you'll get it back instantly.* *you can take damage (and be killed) while using the super *it's really quick, so you can use it for various things like stealing powercubes! *if you super at max distance, most of the time you'll only get one hit in. It's much easier to hit twice if you super close to a wall while using Mass Tax. *if you use Push It, you're guaranteed to get half your super back (unless you miss) *her super ends much earlier and deals dmg more quickly if you hit someone against a wall! *best combo for backstabbing: Attack- attack - wall super (AAS) (congruent triangle reasoning 📐😂). This will almost perfectly remove 100% of opponents health and is very quick and risk-free, while working on high-hp brawlers since her dmg is percent-based. However, this will most definitely fail on brawlers with healing/shielding capabilities (like Edgar), or brawlers with a powercube advantage, so for those it's best to use Attack - attack - attack - wall super (AAAS). *take note that you have a chance of wasting super if you hit a wall accidentally, similar to Mortis dashing into walls.
Special skills: good reaction time is important. You have to stay calm under all situations and have quick decision making, which involves not spamming auto-aim when you get jumped.
Counters and how to not die Most brawlers that you can't combo using AAS can be threats. Tanks that can interrupt you/cause knockback are also threats.
How to team: Long ranged brawlers are the best, examples including Janet, Max, Bea, and ofc Colette.
Keeping the chapters simple for now so it's easier to read :) Shelly speed buff and RT unload nerf 🥳🥳🥳 I'm so happy Meg buff is breaking solos ;-; who thought it was a good idea to make her invincible Hot dog mode does not solve teaming at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Meg infestation over there Thanks to all 12 of you who bother to read this :)
