I am one of the most experienced and best Darryls on the wiki and played Darryl for majority of my hours on Brawl Stars.
I got him to Rank 25 some months ago and am literally pushing Rank 30 right now
TOP 10 TIPS
- Always wait for the perfect roll. U don't want a roll that gets close enough to the enemy. U need to land right on top of them so that they get knocked back. This is treated as a "stun" and they pretty much will receive full shotgun damage.
- Best modes for Darryl? Brawl Ball, Heist, Siege and if you're trophy pushing like me then Showdown as well.
- Tar Barrel or Recoiling Rotator? Generally Recoiling Rotator is extremely good for that super charge (or safe damage) and Tar Barrel is only good in 1v1 situations such as showdown, but Tar Barrel isn't too useful as enemies usually have other ways of escaping such as gadget dashes.
- I will chip enemies at close range and wall peek to threaten them and try to charge super. You only want to charge an enemy with super. Darryl without super is useless as it takes too long to unload all his shots.
- Always be moving with Darryl. Auto-charge is not stay and wait until super is charged. U need to be constantly applying pressure. I play him more as a Heavyweight than a Rolling Assassin tbh and prefer going for pressure over kills except in showdown.
- Tar Barrel: Always pop gadget before rolling it is too hard to pop after and your target will probably have already escaped the radius thus less damage.
- Recoiling Rotator should always be used when enemies are around and you are out of ammo. It can be also used for chip damage.
- Always use Steel Hoops (maybe other one for Heist depends on the map) cos that 90% shield allows u to approach anyone untouched and allow you to charge straight through to your target. Also clutch in low health situations purely for survivability.
- Don't roll over water. You'll become an easy target and people can easily predict where you land up. Only roll over water to escape, never to approach.
- Bouncing off walls is good sometimes. This does help you get the double roll hit and can also hit around corners but if you have an oppurtunity to get a direct roll or just walk around a wall to do so then do it.
Hope these helped you become a better Darryl.
