Guide
Barley is the classic thrower whose shattered bottle lays a damage-over-time puddle. He throws over walls to poke safely and takes space with puddles where enemies linger. With low health, always firing from behind walls is crucial.
His Super throws bottles to set a wide area ablaze. It seals an objective or narrow choke entirely to block enemy pushes — a strong area-control tool. Laid in front of a Brawl Ball goal or the Gem Grab center, it makes enemies avoid approaching.
Use the gadgets to add poke or a slow as needed, while the star power is a choice between Medical Use to heal or Extra Noxious to boost puddle damage. His puddle lockdown is strongest on cover-heavy Hot Zone and Gem Grab maps.
