Pearl

Fires hot cookies in a rapid burst. Higher Heat increases their damage, while attacking reduces Heat. Decide when to spend that stored power rather than firing continuously and expecting every burst to have the same strength.

Releases her stored Heat in an explosion around Pearl, dealing more damage when more Heat was available. The burst spends that resource, so weigh the immediate close-range impact against the weaker follow-up attacks that can result.

Adds burning damage over time to Pearl's next cookie volley. Land the volley to keep pressure on an enemy after the initial contact.

Turns the next volley into healing cookies for allies instead of enemy damage. Aim through the teammates who need recovery.

Reduces the Heat spent on Pearl's Super. It helps retain strength for the next exchange after using the blast.

Reduces incoming damage while Pearl's Heat is above its threshold. Spending Heat can remove that protection, so balance immediate attacks against retaining it.

Leaves a burning area after the Super explosion. Place it where opponents want to stand or pass through, rather than judging the ability only by whether the initial blast catches a target.

Heat builds over time and increases damage. Attacks and the Super spend Heat, so balance immediate pressure against retaining a stronger next exchange.

Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.

Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.

Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.

Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.

Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.

Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.
