Nani Brawl Stars Guide — Best Build, PEEP! Control & Tips 2025
Master Nani in Brawl Stars: how to control PEEP!, best gadgets, star powers, modes and counters.
Nani is an Epic Marksman whose Super fires a controllable orb called PEEP! — the player manually steers PEEP! toward enemies and detonates it for massive area damage. Landing PEEP! is one of the highest-skill, highest-reward plays in Brawl Stars.
How PEEP! Works
When Nani activates her Super, control shifts to PEEP! — a flying orb steered by the player. PEEP! flies until:
- The player detonates it manually, dealing large AoE damage.
- It hits a wall or target.
- It times out.
While PEEP! is active, Nani herself is stationary and helpless. Landing PEEP! on a cluster of enemies can eliminate 2–3 targets simultaneously.
Best Modes for Nani
| Mode | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Grab | ✅ Excellent | PEEP! on the mine clusters multiple enemies; long range dominates |
| Bounty | ✅ Excellent | High damage per shot; PEEP! eliminates stacked enemies |
| Knockout | ✅ Strong | PEEP! eliminates one target per round in a no-respawn mode |
| Brawl Ball | ❌ Weak | Too fragile; close-range threats eliminate Nani instantly |
| Heist | ✅ Good | PEEP! deals heavy damage to the safe |
Best Build
Gadget: Return to Sender — Nani teleports PEEP! back to her location, ending its flight. Use it defensively: if PEEP! is aimed wrong or about to expire, recall it to cancel the exposed period faster.
Star Power: Tempered Steel — Nani's orbs bounce off walls, allowing wall shots to deal damage. This opens angles that are impossible for other snipers: fire at a wall beside an enemy, bounce it into their hitbox.
PEEP! Aim Techniques
Leading targets: Aim 1–2 tiles ahead of a moving enemy. PEEP! travels at a moderate speed — time the detonation as it crosses their path.
Cluster detonation: Wait until 2+ enemies are within 3 tiles of each other, then detonate. PEEP! in a cluster is 2+ eliminations.
Wall detonation: With Tempered Steel, aim at a wall segment 3 tiles from a corner where an enemy is hiding. The bounce reaches them without line of sight.
Counters
Hard counters: Edgar, Mortis, Leon — any assassin who can close while PEEP! is airborne and Nani is helpless.
What Nani beats: Stationary or slow targets (Heist safe, Gem carriers holding position), brawlers clustered together.
