Mortis remains one of the most iconic and skill-dependent brawlers in Brawl Stars, captivating players with his unique dash mechanics and vampire-themed abilities. As we move through 2025, understanding how to effectively utilize Mortis can dramatically improve your gameplay experience and win rates. Let's dive into the complete guide for mastering Mortis in the current meta.

Who is Mortis?

"I am a creature of the night!"

Mortis is a Mythic brawler with a fascinating backstory - a vampire mortician whose plans were dampened by the lack of deaths at Starr Park. With his trusty shovel, he dashes through the battlefield, making him one of the most mobile characters in Brawl Stars.

What makes Mortis unique is his attack mechanism - instead of firing projectiles like most brawlers, he dashes forward with his shovel, dealing damage to enemies in his path. This mobility, combined with moderately high health and his vampiric Super, makes him an excellent assassin who excels at taking down squishy targets.
