Part 53

Learn how to defeat Galleom, Duon, and Porky in Brawl Stars with detailed strategies and attack patterns. Includes tips for Rayquaza.

Galleom

Galleom's attacks target the upper part of his body, so staying closer to his feet while attacking is best. One move to watch out for is when he reels back and begins a very slow swing; he's doing an uppercut that is quite powerful and hits quite low; try to dodge it if you can. Sometimes you'll see his body get entirely stiff; he's about to flop down onto the ground, which will probably kill you if you don't air dodge (a mid-air evasive maneuver). By far his most annoying move is when he moves both of his arms really high up and outward; he's about to do a spin attack which will rack up a good amount of damage. He also sometimes converts into his tank form and either drives toward you in a rush or begins to shoot missiles. If he shoots missiles, stay low and pound on him. If he drives at you, jump over him. Watch out if he does his driving attack at low health; he ends it by slamming down at you from above, which is pretty fatal. Galleom is pretty evenly split between moves that can hurt you and moves that are very easy to avoid and let you quickly deplete his weak life bar. In general, Galleom shouldn't be ending too many of your runs.

Duon

Duon's whole purpose in life is to rack up as much damage on you as possible. He seldom kills until a good bit over 100% (health percentage), but he has a whole lot of moves that are very hard to avoid and do a lot of damage. When the blue side is facing you, he does "swinging" attacks that are very hard to avoid if you're up close, but he has no dangerous things to hit you at a distance. When his pink side is facing you, he shoots a wide array of projectiles at you. Jumping and air dodging is the strategy to avoid most of them, but if he shoots seeking missiles at you, jump over him and try to lead them into him, as they do a lot of damage to him and are your best hope to escape this fight with little damage. He also frequently does a spinning attack that is very hard to avoid and does a ton of damage. If he starts hitting you with this, try to shield (block) and roll away. Actually shielding the move is pretty much a guaranteed shield break (when your shield is depleted), but a few random perfect shields (perfectly timed blocks) along with a roll away if you get lucky will substantially reduce the damage you take. With characters like Charizard and most characters in general, you really should be very offensive against Duon. You really won't be very successful at avoiding damage for prolonged periods of time, and Duon is at least an easy target. You can get on top of him or behind him, and it might seem like a good idea, but it's not. While he does have more trouble hitting you when you do that, when he does hit you, he's way more likely to kill you and he's harder to damage from those positions. Don't risk it.

Porky

Porky, also known as Pokey Minch, is a boss in Brawl Stars. Just walking slowly back and forth lets him hit you near his bottom; avoiding damage from him is nearly impossible. Right at the start, he frequently likes to do this super lame rapid pincer jab attack. This will do over 50% (damage percentage) to you most of the time, but if you get caught in it and aren't pretty much right on top of Porky, directionally influence away from him. That will make it pretty unlikely to actually kill you. If you have an ally, the best strategy right at the start is for one of you to jump over him while the other stays back. If he does his rapid attack, he won't be able to reach the one who stayed back while the other can rack up a ton of damage from his other side. Porky frequently begins to charge a laser above his head. This move is a really stupid move that's nearly impossible to avoid. He sweeps it around quickly, and he carefully targets you. If you have a friend along, he'll randomly switch which one of you he's targeting in midshot. If you can't finish him off before he gets the attack off, your best bet is to run far away from him, jump, and try to air dodge through it. It will probably still hit you, but you can usually reduce it to just one hit instead of four or five hits. He'll also sometimes charge at you quickly; just leap over him. Don't try to do anything stupid; he'll drag you right off the side of the arena if you let him. He also likes to deploy small robots in his image; these run around wildly and explode. Try to stay away from them and jump and air dodge if you can't keep away. Like all of his moves, they're hard to avoid. His last attack is when he flies up and moves back and forth slowly shooting a laser down onto the stage. Just run back and forth and roll out of the way if you have to; this is actually really easy to dodge. The bad news is that you have very little opportunity to damage him while he's doing this, but at least you can avoid taking damage. You will take a lot of damage if the fight drags on; he's just a stupid boss. Porky is somewhat buggy: If he dies right as he's about to fire his laser, it will "shoot" anyway with no graphic but itself dragging on the ground for a bit, and it can still hit you. If his little robots are deployed when he dies, they don't disappear. They keep running around and can still hurt you.
