Lily entered Brawl Stars as a Mythic assassin in 2024, and in 2026 her kit still reads like a compact lesson in controlled chaos: short range, fast feet, and a teleport that turns a quiet lane into a trapdoor. First revealed during the April 2024 Brawl Talk, the bookish witchcraft enthusiast remains a specialist pick for players who prefer timing, positioning, and sudden pressure over brute force. Her background as a nerd at heart and a total witchcraft buff explains the fantasy, but her value on the battlefield comes from a simple truth: Lily does not need to chase every fight when she can make the fight come to her.

Brawler Overview

Lily is a Mythic Brawler in the Assassin class. Players can unlock her through Starr Road using Credits or by opening Starr Drops earned from matches, events, and the Brawl Pass. Her stat profile is unusual for an assassin because it leans toward durability rather than pure glass-cannon speed.

Stat	Value
Rarity	Mythic
Class	Assassin
Health at Level 11	8,200
Damage at Level 11	2,120
Range	Short
Movement Speed	Great

Her Trait is central to her identity. Similar to Buzz, Lily passively charges her Super when an enemy Brawler is inside her radius. That passive charge makes her a threat even when she is not actively attacking, because opponents must respect the space around her. In 2026, with so many mobile assassins and controllers competing for attention, Lily’s edge is the way she converts proximity into a sudden repositioning tool.

Abilities Breakdown

Lily’s regular attack is Thorn on the Side. She jabs enemies at short distance with her thorn, and the attack pierces through targets. Her ammo bar is a single, quickly recharging shot, which gives her a rhythm closer to a rapid-fire skirmisher than a burst-heavy assassin. The piercing property matters in clustered fights, where one well-aimed jab can clip multiple opponents and keep pressure high.

Her Super is Flourish. Lily hurls a fruit-like projectile, and if it hits an enemy, she instantly transports to their location. The Super cannot pass through walls, and Lily cannot be damaged while teleporting. That brief invulnerability is a small but vital window: it lets her commit to a dive without automatically losing the exchange. A good Lily player treats the Super less as a damage button and more as a drawn thread that stitches her directly to a chosen target.

Surprise attacks are the most obvious use. Lily can teleport next to an enemy who expected to be safe behind a lane partner, turning a routine push into a scramble. Target priority matters just as much. Hitting high-value targets such as carriers or support Brawlers can disrupt positioning and swing a team fight before the opponent has time to reset.

Gadgets and Star Powers

Lily’s Vanish gadget immediately transports her to the shadow realm for three seconds. The effect resembles Cordelius’s Super, but Lily cannot take anyone with her. The unique interaction is that if Cordelius brings someone into the shadow realm, Lily can use Vanish to teleport there and join the battle. That makes Vanish both an escape tool and a situational counter, like a pocket door that opens into a room the opponent thought was locked.

Repot transforms Lily’s next Super into a throwable projectile that can travel over walls. Lily then teleports to wherever the fruit lands, and the Super does not require hitting an enemy to work. This changes her approach pattern dramatically: instead of needing a target to dive, she can use terrain to create an angle. The gadget is excellent for flanking, escaping, and reaching objectives that would otherwise require a long walk.

Spiky is the first Star Power. After Lily uses her Super to teleport, her next attack receives a 1,200-damage boost. Although her attack can pierce multiple Brawlers, the bonus damage applies only to the first target hit. This Star Power rewards precise follow-up and makes Lily’s dive threat much sharper against squishy targets.

Vigilance is the second Star Power. It boosts Lily’s movement speed by 15 percent as long as an enemy is within her Supercharge radius. The boost can stack with Speed Gear and other effects, but it does not stack with multiple enemies. Vigilance is the subtler choice: it helps Lily dance at the edge of danger, bait attacks, and close distance without spending her Super immediately.

Best Game Modes

Lily performs best when fights are chaotic, targets are isolated, and repositioning matters more than long-range poke.

• Solo and Duo Showdown: Her strong 1v1 potential and high HP for an assassin make her a serious threat. She can win isolated duels and punish players who overextend.

• Brawl Ball: Vanish can help her grab the ball or flank the enemy carrier. Repot can create unexpected angles, and her Super can remove a key defender at the right moment.

• Wipeout 5v5: With team support, Lily becomes a clean-up specialist. The mode’s chaos gives her room to pick off enemy Brawlers after cooldowns are spent.

• Knockout: She has shown good pick and win potential in Knockout, but the mode rewards mastery. Players who understand when to hold Super and when to dive will get more value.

• Duels: Lily is a reasonable pick in Duels, especially when Vanish and Spiky are used to maximize her effectiveness.

Best Brawler Combinations

Lily is a solid assassin with high HP, damage, and movement speed, but her limited range is a real drawback. Good team support is important. Kit synergizes well with her, offering strong support and a Carry Me Super that pairs naturally with Lily’s dive-heavy playstyle.

Aggressive double-assassin compositions also work. Cordelius and Lily, or Edgar and Lily, can pick off enemies quickly and overwhelm teams that lack crowd control. Controllers such as Gene and Meeple pair well with her by amplifying her effectiveness and setting up easier targets. Juju is another strong choice in the current environment, fitting with Lily and many other Brawlers.

Best Gears for Lily

The right gear depends on the mode and the player’s plan, but three options stand out.

• Damage Gear: Lily benefits from extra damage when her health is below 50 percent. This makes her more threatening in tight spots and helps secure eliminations.

• Gadget Charge Gear: This grants one extra gadget use per match, making Vanish more effective and giving Lily another chance to disappear from danger.

• Speed Gear: Increased speed in bushes improves her mobility, flanking, and escape potential. It is especially useful in modes where map control and maneuverability decide the outcome.

Final Thoughts

In 2026, balance changes and mode rotations may shift exact matchups, but Lily’s core identity remains intact. She is a strategic assassin who wins by turning proximity into pressure, using Vanish to erase mistakes, and using Repot to create angles that should not exist. Playing Lily without a plan is like carrying a lit match through a fireworks stall: dramatic, briefly effective, and likely to end badly. Played with patience, she is a precise instrument for players who enjoy making opponents feel a step behind.
