Squeak Brawl Stars Guide — Best Build, Sticky Bomb Tips & 2025
Master Squeak in Brawl Stars: best gadgets, star powers, sticky bomb mechanics, modes and counters.
Squeak is a Mythic Controller who throws bouncy blobs of slime. The unique mechanic: his blobs stick to surfaces and enemies on hit, then explode after a 1-second delay. This delayed explosion creates anticipation — enemies know the damage is coming and must move, which is exactly what you want.
How Squeak's Blobs Work
- Squeak throws a sticky blob in an arc (similar to a thrower, but with more control).
- The blob sticks to whatever it hits: a wall, a ground tile, or an enemy.
- After ~1 second, it explodes for area damage.
- Blobs on enemies follow their movement — the target cannot outrun the explosion if already stuck.
This means hitting a target with a blob forces them to move (to escape the explosion area) or take full damage. Both outcomes benefit Squeak.
Best Modes
| Mode | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Grab | ✅ Excellent | Blob on mine forces gem carriers off; controls center |
| Hot Zone | ✅ Excellent | Sticky blobs on capture zone force enemies to vacate |
| Bounty | ✅ Good | AoE spread hits multiple targets |
| Brawl Ball | ⚠️ Situational | Blobs near goal lane disrupt pushes |
| Knockout | ✅ Good | Chain blobs on the same target = guaranteed burst damage |
| Heist | ⚠️ Situational | Moderate safe damage |
Best Build
Gadget: Residue — Squeak's next blob slows any enemy it touches. Use it when an enemy is already stuck — they're slowed AND about to take explosion damage.
Star Power: Goo — Squeak's super leaves a residue that slows enemies standing in it. This transforms his Super from a one-time burst into a 2-second AoE slow zone.
Blob Placement Strategy
Squeak's power is in anticipating enemy movement:
- Aim blobs at doorways and choke points, not at the current position.
- In Gem Grab, place a blob on the mine tile itself — anyone who walks in to collect takes guaranteed damage.
- Stack two blobs on the same target for burst combo damage.
