Buster — Brawl Stars Brawler Guide
In Brawl Stars, Buster occupies the Tank role at Mythic rarity. Built for soaking damage and dominating close-range brawls, Buster shines in the right map and mode combination. Buster took a film projector from the movie theater where he works so he can play around with it like a prop. It's dangerous and highly unprofessional!
