How to Solo Carry Randoms in Diamond & Mythic Rank (Brawl Stars Meta Guide)

 Look, we’ve all been there. You load into a Mythic lobby, ready to grind to Masters... and then you get paired with randoms who play Brawl Ball like it’s an easy casual walk. As a Legendary player for the past 2+ years—currently hard-stuck in Legendary 3 for the last 3 seasons trying to smash through to Masters myself—I know the exact mental damage of solo queuing. If you want to escape the Mythic trench, you can’t keep 'supporting' the vibe

So if you wanna escape the Mythic trench, you can’t keep “supporting” the vibe. You have to switch into execution mode. The current “Shutdown Meta” is basically built around high burst damage, aggressive angles, and deleting enemies before they get to stack momentum , or snowball with Hypercharges.

Here's how to strap your team on your back and solo-carry your way out of Mythic, using the three most oppressive Brawlers in the game right now , like actually oppressive.

The Big Three: Draft Criteria for Solo Carrying  

You can’t draft low-impact controllers when you’re stuck with randoms. You need raw aggression, brutal crowd control, or lane pressure that feels borderline unfair. The whole point is forcing wins, not “hoping” someone else makes the play.

1. Damian: The Unstoppable Strategic Disrupter  

If Damian isn’t banned, you pick him immediately. As a Mythic Tank, his kit is kind of built to mess up uncoordinated enemy teams by himself. 

The Mechanic: Landing two basic punches sets up the explosive third kick, which knocks back targets and lights them up. 

The Carry Potential: His Wall of Sound gadget lets you drop indestructible amp walls on demand, so you can block off choke points, and basically tell the enemy “no, you go around”. His Mosh Pit Super also catches people who think they can just slip away.

Pro Tip: Use his Hypercharge (Jump in the Fire) during messy team fights. Don’t be polite, just burn down full squads, and control the space like you own it.

2. Edgar: The Relentless Assassin  

People love to complain about Edgar, but in solo queue chaos he’s still an absolute monster for punishes. If the enemy draft is squishy, or they don’t bring serious crowd control, Edgar can erase them in seconds. No drama, no negotiations.

The Mechanic: His automatic Super charge mean you don’t have to keep depending on randoms , just to claw out map pressure, yknow. The Carry Potential: He steps in, removes a big high-value target, then instantly patches a chunk of his max health back after a takedown. Pro Tip: get the enemy’s knockback gadgets out first , before you actually commit to the leap so you wont get stuck sitting out in the open.

The Carry Potential: He jumps in, deletes a high-value target, and instantly heals a percentage of his max health back on a takedown.

Pro Tip: Bait out the enemy's knockback gadgets before you commit to your leap so you don't get stranded in the open

3. Colt: The Long-Range Powerhouse  

If your aiming mechanics are elite, Colt is basically the go-to tool to wreck defensive setups from a safe distance. He punishes predictable movement patterns, hard.

The Mechanic: Massive straight-up DPS paired with ridiculous wall-busting utility.  

The Carry Potential: His Hypercharge makes his Super wider, stronger, and it hits harder , so you can dismantle the Heist safe fast or melt high-HP tanks in a few moments.  

Pro Tip: Use your wall breaks to strip the enemy’s cover completely , forcing them into open long-range 1v1 situations where your aim is the deciding factor.

Solo Queue Survival FAQ  

How do I win when my teammates keep dying in the first 10 seconds?  

Stop sharing the same lane as them. Keep your lane stable, take a solid positioning edge, then hunt for a flanking angle so you can pinch the enemy team from behind.

Should I prioritize a counter-pick or my best comfort Brawler?  

In Mythic, comfort plus power level matters more than a theoretical counter. Choose a high-tier Brawler like Colt or Edgar that you can reliably land shots with, not a tier-list pick you barely touch.

What is the best way to deal with enemy Hypercharges when playing solo?  

Don’t act like a hero. Watch their meters, then back off fully when they pop it. Waste their timer using Damian’s Wall of Sound or Colt’s high-damage suppressive fire, and make that 5-second window disappear.
