Rate Your Brawler #3 - El Primo
What up, Brawlerinos and Brawlerinas? FarCritical's weekly "Rate Your Brawler" is back! For this week's brawler, I've brought our most favorite luchador, El~ Primo~ššš¤šŖ Being one of the three rare brawlers, El Primo isn't really hard to obtain from boxes, and many players have been using him for variety of modes, for he is tanky, strong, aaaannnd a great glitch material(Robo Rumble glitch - It's been patched). Is he good or bad? I'll let you be the judge of thatš
Ā
ATTACKš¤š¤š¤š¤
Fists of Fury - El primo pierces and attacks all enemies within the range, dealing four punches with 360~504 damage each.
Ā
SUPER
Flying Elbow Drop - El Primo leaps and slams down with an elbow, dealing area of effect damage while knocking back enemy brawlers. It also destroys any obstacles within the range. Also, when El Primo is invincible while in mid-air.
Ā
STAR POWER
El Fuego - Similar to Crow's attack, El Primo's super deals fire damage over time for 4 seconds, 200 damage for each second.
Ā
El Primo stats by the level
Ā
Pros(+)
Ā
High Health
Ā
El Primo, along with Frank, has the highest health of all other brawlers. Therefore, He works great in the front line, aggroing enemies while dealing fair damage.
Ā
Highly Mobile
Ā
Being a heavyweight Brawler, El Primo moves faster than most other Brawlers. Also, unlike Bull whom you can't really control the range, his super allows you to move far distance in any direction you want. It's safe to say that he is almost as mobile as Mortis, Leon, and Crow.
Ā
Piercing Damage
Ā
As stated above, El Primo's fists can attack multiple enemies within the range at the same time. The more clustered your enemies are, you're more likely to deal higher damage in total which also means you're going to charge your super much faster.
Ā
Cons(-)
Ā
Can't Attack Where Fists Can't Land
Ā
El Primo can only attack enemies that are within three tiles which makes him a brawler with the shortest attack range. If he doesn't get close enough to your enemies, they will knock him down easily even if he has the highest health.
Ā
Moderate Damage
Ā
Although it would be an understatement to say he has poor damage potential, but you also have to admit he should do better as a brawler that specializes in close range. Also, unlike projectiles, he can't land four punches in one go, making his each attack motion a little too long compared to other brawlers.
Ā
Mediocre Star Power
Ā
Adding a total of 800 additional damage to the super certainly works as a plus, but it's also true that his Star Power is a bit underwhelming compared to others'. The fact that it applies to his super only makes it worse as you're less likely to benefit from it constantly.
Ā
Ā
Where to use El Primo
Ā
Gem Grab - In tight situations, you can use his super to escape from enemies while dealing damage at the same time. Also, being one of the brawlers with most health along with Frank, El Primo works great as a gem carrier.
Ā
Heist - Although he isn't as powerful as brawlers with a shotgun, It's very easy to get his super charged, attacking both enemies and their safe at the same time. Also, with his super, you can instantly move from one place to another, making him highly versatile in any situations.
Ā
Brawl Ball - His super destroys obstacles that are in between goal posts while also knocking back enemies and making enemy carrier drop the ball. Also, his high HP makes him an ideal candidate for handling the ball.
Ā
Boss Fight - With enough power cubes, he can tank extremely well while dealing decent damage to the boss.
