"A little punch-drunk from too many bumps, bruises, and gasoline fumes over his long stunt performing career, Stu is a bit wobbly on his wheel these days."
Stu Portrait

Stu is an Epic Brawler who has low health but a high burst damage potential, great mobility with his Super, and the unique ability to charge his Super in one hit. He attacks with two fireworks, and his Super is a short dash that leaves a trail of burning rubber behind him, burning enemies if they touch it. His first Gadget, Speed Zone, drops a booster that increases the movement speed of himself and allies in a large area-of-effect around it. His second Gadget, Breakthrough, allows his next Super to destroy obstacles and send the debris of the destroyed obstacles to damage enemies. His first Star Power, Zero Drag, increases his Super's range. His second Star Power, Gaso-Heal, slightly heals Stu when his Super is used.

Attack: Razzle Dazzle

"Stu fires out two pyrotechnic shots that pack quite a wallop."

Stu fires two pyrotechnic fireworks linearly in quick succession that each charge one full Super. This attack has a fast unload speed, taking only 0.35 seconds to complete.

Super: Nitro Boost

"Hitting an opponent with Razzle Dazzle charges up Stu's Nitro Boost, a short dash that leaves a trail of burning rubber on the ground. The trail will set fire to any opponents that touch it."

Stu's Super is a short dash forward, leaving a trail of burning rubber on the ground that lasts for 3 seconds. Enemies who touch it are set on fire to burn over four seconds. If enemies touch it more than once, the burn duration doesn't stack but resets. Stu can't use his Super to dash over water, and the flames from his Super won't recharge his Super.

Gadgets

Speed Zone

"Stu drops a booster that makes himself, his teammates, and other allies move faster while inside of it's area of effect."
GD-Stu1

When activated, Stu drops a turret that increases the movement speed of Stu and his teammates in a 6.67-tile radius around it by 100 points. The turret has 1000 health, will be destroyed if Stu drops another turret and decays 30 health per second until it is destroyed. This doesn't stack with other speed-boost abilities and doesn't affect spawnables like Nita's bear or Mr. P's porters.

Breakthrough

"Stu's next Super can bash through obstacles, making debris fly forward. Each piece of debris deals 216 damage to any opponent it hits."
GD-Stu2

Upon activation, Stu's next Super can destroy obstacles. For every wall tile destroyed, 3 pieces of non-piercing debris fly forward in a cone-shaped formation (like Penny's attack) for 6.67 tiles, with each piece dealing 216 damage. A Gadget symbol will glow above Stu's head signaling this Gadget's usage, as well as a glowing Super joystick. This Gadget's cooldown starts after its button is pressed.

Star Powers

Zero Drag

"Stu's Nitro Boost Super dash distance increases by 71%."
SP-Stu1

Stu's Super range is increased from 2.33 tiles to 4 tiles. This doesn't affect his Super speed.

Gaso-Heal

"Using his Nitro Boost Super restores 580 of Stu's health."
SP-Stu2

Stu heals for 580 health when using his Super.

Tips

Game Modes and Maps

  • Stu is solid in Hot Zone. He can hit the enemies from afar and use his Super to dash towards zones. In addition, his quick burst attacks and his Super that allows him to dodge enemy fire make him a deadly and hard to hit target while fighting and allows him to gain better control of the zones.
  • Stu is decent in Big Game because he can dash around and dodge enemy fire, and he can burn the enemies with his Super as the Big Boss. As a Hunter, he can use his Speed Zone Gadget for enhanced mobility and he can continuously poke the Big Boss while dashing unpredictably and quickly.
  • Stu is outstanding in Brawl Ball/Trophy Thieves/Volley Brawl/Basket Brawl because of his high mobility with his Super. In addition, Stu can self-pass by kicking the ball/trophy ahead and dashing forward to retrieve it back, then continuously hitting the enemies from afar to recharge and chain Supers so he can dash towards the ball/trophy.

Recommended Build

  • Stu's Speed Zone Gadget should be kept behind obstacles so it's protected from enemies. He can also use it at the team's spawn point of the map to help him and his allies get back into action after being defeated or as a temporary shield to block shots from enemies that can't hit multiple targets.
  • Although a niche technique, you can use Stu's Breakthrough Gadget as a way to escape, if your path is blocked by a wall. this is mostly useful if you get ambushed by a close range brawler near a wall.
  • Stu's Breakthrough Gadget is helpful as it can destroy obstacles. He can use it to defeat enemies who are taking cover behind obstacles or to destroy the goalpost in Brawl Ball to score goals at ease.
  • With Stu's Zero Drag Star Power, he can escape a direct Edgar jump. with some follow up shots and supers, you should be able to easily defeat an enemy Edgar. Keep this in mind in Solo Showdown.
  • Stu's Zero Drag Star Power makes self-passing the ball in Brawl Ball and dodging shots easier and makes opponents harder to hit while dashing around. It also allows him to collect vital items such as Siege Bolts faster, to reach a certain area of the map faster, or to better counter close-ranged Brawlers as he can dash out of their range more effectively.
  • With his Gaso-Heal Star Power, Stu can use his attack and Super in quick succession to quickly heal up in a pinch because of his fast Super charge rate and fast unload speed. You can dash around and heal and use this as an alternative to self-regeneration.

Strategies

  • Stu can actually get two Supers from one attack. If you attack an enemy and the first projectile lands, there is a small window for you to use your super before the second projectile hits, essentially granting a free second Super. This is tricky to pull off though.
  • Stu can poke effectively by using his Super, his fast unload speed, and his attack's fast Super charge rate. He can fire a shot at an enemy, then dash backwards to avoid their counter fire. This recharges Stu's Super if the shot lands, which allows him to continuously poke, and once they're low on health, you can use your Super to get close to them and burst your attacks to finish them off.

Other

  • Since Stu charges his Super with only one protectile, despite being the assassin with the slowest movement speed, he can easily escape with his Super in dangerous situations, which makes him highly mobile and allows him to dodge enemy fire with ease. Stu can use his Super to dodge an attack once, get another hit that recharges his Super, and use the Super again to escape unharmed.
  • When Stu's Super is auto-aimed, he dashes in the direction that he is facing. Thus, auto-aiming is useful to escape from enemies chasing you or to engage long-ranged Brawlers by dashing randomly and dodging their shots.
  • Stu's Super makes him an outstanding counter to close-ranged Brawlers because Stu can hit them once and dash away and out of their range, and then attack them with ease. Use this to your advantage when facing close-ranged Brawlers.
  • Stu's fast Super charge rate, his high mobility with his Super, and his quick burst attacks make him niche in offense-oriented modes such as Bounty. However, Stu's attack doesn't pierce, so he does best in a 1v1 situation where he can continuously poke at the enemy and dodge their attacks.
  • Although Stu has the fastest charging Super to charge in the game, it is still very important to make sure you always have a Super ready. This way you are always prepared, and can escape more situations. You can try to conserve Supers by only using it when you know you can get another shot off, or after you have started to shoot and you think it will connect.
  • If you use Stu often, consider making your Gadget button much bigger, as. you will need to activate both gadgets very quickly. This only applies to the Speed Zone Gadget if you are planning on using it as a meat shield.
