Activate it when you have a realistic chance to hit opponents and build Super.

Gadget

Power Shield

Start here

Official effect

Reduces the next incoming hit and reloads ammo when it absorbs damage.

BrawlSide’s take

Time it for a hit you expect to take. The protection is for the next hit, not a whole fight.

Gears

Fine-tune the way you play.

6 options

Passive bonuses for the finishing touches. Your two slots unlock at Power 8 and Power 10.

Gear

Health

Official effect

Official effect

Adds a consumable shield that replenishes while your health is full.

BrawlSide’s take

Gives you a little more protection when you return to a fight at full health.

Gear

Gadget Cooldown

Start here

Official effect

Reduces the wait before your gadget can be used again.

BrawlSide’s take

Makes your gadget available sooner. Still save it for a clear purpose instead of using it on cooldown.
