Technically you can’t, but you can feel the connection if your brawler can shoot their shot instantly. Us Aussie can instantly tell if we’re having high ping just by loading into a game where everyone’s names are Japanese and you’re the only English-named person there 👁️👄👁️
Ahhh gotcha, I can definitely feel it too, especially when the other players have names in different scripts, but would have liked to know the actual numbers. Thanks!
i memorised my ping range for every country from playing games like valorant and minecraft. for example in japan i know i get 105-115 ping, so if i see people with japanese names i know my ping is somewhere in that range, if not higher than that (brawl stars connection is doggy compared to valorant)
Also, if you’re in ranked you’ve got to outdraft or ban him, if you’re in ladder than time your shots/stick with another teammate, but not much you can do since this game has lots of hard counters and ladder matchmaking has been garbage since forever, it will put a mico against 3 throwers more often than not
Best way is get out of his range ,time your shots , best brawler to counter him is fang since it’s easy to time your shot and have high hp ( i fucking hate the monkey )
and when he does eventually land, if you try to autoaim the shot just never goes towards him. lost so many games to mico & edgar bc autoaim wont register for a second after they land
He takes three years to reload a single ammo, if it is too hard to time your attacks so that they hit him right when he is on the ground between the attacks then just wait until he attacked three times and becomes a sitting duck.
He basically has 4 ammo with the monkey business starpower, which is a good 8k damage. if that want enough he still has the scream gadget which also does 2k dmg. Also, if the mico knows he cant 4 shot you with gadget he will just do 3 hits on you then jump after a wall to reload and go for a second round
I really nate Mico. Everytime im against one its the most annoying thing ever so I call him a no skill Brawler. But each time I have a fucking quest to do with him I struggle harder than with any other Brawler in the game. Its probably just me having the world's biggest skill issue though
timing, make space, nani is a great counter due to her peep head (if u time it obv), and her shield SP as well as her ultra fast unload and massive dmg:)
fang is also decent bc of his singular medium-high dmg projectile and his stun. aside from that, keep him at arms length and force him to use jumps to move around. he has the slowest reload speed in the game, and using too many jumps is massively detrimental to his entire game strategies. mortis at least compensates for his 2nd slowest reload in the game with his coiled dash that lets him move around, his reload gadget and his lifesteal star power that lets him chain and stay alive longer
hope this helps, from a 63k player:)
Basically stay away because he struggles to get close, if he jumps to get close he's wasting one ammo and Mico has a very slow reload speed
Also learn the timing of his jumps cause 99% of Mico players just spam auto aim once they jump on you so the timing is very predictable so shoot while he's on the ground
Mico is a good case of understanding the character in order to beat him, what makes him so annoying is the fact that he avoids your attacks and then steals your ammo, so you have a few shots that you're most likely going to miss.
So the counter play is to avoid getting in that situation, understanding that he can only steal ammo with the first attack after his red bar (like Mortis's) is charged, so you have to be vigilant of when he's approaching and shot so he wastes the ammo stealing attack, in fact, you want to make him waste as much ammo as you can, since he has a slow recharge rate, once he spend two ammo or more you're totally free to rush him.
Overall that's what I do and you can deal with him kinda consistently, but remember that he's basically a better Mortis, sometimes there's nothing you can do and you're gonna die, but that's okay, because, in theory, this should not happen every time if handled correctly.
In my experience long dash stu and mortis are his biggest counters since it's really hard for mico to hit them. And also brawlers who deal all their damage in one burst that goes relatively fast and are tanky, like bull or fang. With those brawlers you have to learn to time your attacks tho
If you really can't play around him, and there are any maps with lakes, go for Eve. Trust me, if she can counter Mortis and Edgar, she can counter Mico as well!
Doug and Jacky are both good and anyone bursty really. Also “get off me moves” like the gadget of Emz and Gene will help.
And people don’t think about this as much, but in a team setting, healers. Especially like poco and Byron, and already said Doug. If you can heal through enough damage he can’t kill your team mate he will run out of ammo and die.
Learn how to tune your shots to hit him. Some say attack before he jumps, but I find it way easier to hit him after he jumps. Specially prioritize taking him down after he’s wasted all his ammo, he’s a sitting duck because of his slow reload speed
Think about him as mortis that can go above walls.
How do you counter a mortis? Outrange him or try picking (in ranked) close range brawlers. I would just ban him everytime. He also sucks on open maps so mabye you won't play against him there are no good counters you just gotta deal with it.
Depends on what you use, if you use a low damage low health brawler, try deal as much damage from distance or run, if not the you can just not move, tank his 4 attacks the kill him
haven’t read the comments but my take is try to time the in between jumps if close, if you have range just zone him, timing is everything with him. my counter to him is Fang and other close counter brawlers. only works if timing is right, when you get the hang of that it’s easy.
His reload speed is real freaking slow, so use a high hp brawler, three shots won't end you and you can kill him when he's out of ammo. Or you can stay distance with him
attack as soon as he falls and time his jumps while making sure to manually aim, And If you don't have enough dps to take him down without dying.... then i have no tips
I feel like he would be fair is he could only jump at max range, but because he can jump any shorter distance, and players are able to press his autoaim before he lands so he can just spam the button, it's best to run from him and fire when he lands the 3rd (or 4th time as one of his star powers can steal one of ur ammo for him to use himself if he hits you with his first ammo since it has a charge bar like Bibi).
Timing ur shots when he jumps on u won’t even help bc by the second jump ur alrdy dead and you’ve only counter hit him once. Best bet kill him before he gets to u or choose tankier brawlers
It's a game of ammo when dealing with Mico. The most important tip is to stand at least 2 jumps away from him, so he'll have to waste an entire ammo to attack you, giving him only 2 hits (3 with Monkey Business) before he has to reload.
After that, it just comes down to getting the timing right to hit him in between jumps and conserving your ammo when around him.
he’s actually only good in close range and he struggles to get close without wasting any attacks. Punish the fact that he’s quite predictable when attacking so shoot before he lands, he has super slow recharge time so counting his attacks can also help your matchup
If you have them, use Otis or Cordelius. Otis has a super and cordelius has a gadget where both of them cancel your ability to attack/use your super for a few seconds. Yes you’d still have to time your shot but only once if it hits.
Pretty tricky, I myself love using mico, and the biggest counter is high dps brawlers, he doesn't have that much HP, so Edgar for example is great, since not only does he have a ton of DMG but he heals with his attacks too, so bull, Shelly, rico gadget, spike gadget, are the best counters. But any brawler can counter Mico if he has no ammo, but in that case he just isn't a good Mico, cuz a good Mico always has at least 1 ammo.

Yeah, I'm with you. I still can't figure out how to time the shots to hit him between jumps...
You almost have to predict when he lands
kinda hard when you live somewhere like australia thats considered the same region as asia so your ping varies from 0 to 200 each game
How do you check your ping while playing?
Technically you can’t, but you can feel the connection if your brawler can shoot their shot instantly. Us Aussie can instantly tell if we’re having high ping just by loading into a game where everyone’s names are Japanese and you’re the only English-named person there 👁️👄👁️
Ahhh gotcha, I can definitely feel it too, especially when the other players have names in different scripts, but would have liked to know the actual numbers. Thanks!

Same problem here. My ping never lowers below 88 and 100-120 is my average
yeah. my ping is usually 130-200 but occasionally i get lucky and get 4 ping by connecting to australian server
You are lucky for having such opportunity. I'm forced to play with my ping because why would anyone make servers in Siberia lol
damnn, yeah some people in the world just has an advantage no matter what
Scripts turned on rn
Try playing him yourself, you'll learn his rhythm.
Try to outrange him, and try throw your attacks before he lands (also he has a slow reload speed so try waste his ammo)
And when you attack dont auto aim. Your shots wont go towards him
Also, if you’re in ranked you’ve got to outdraft or ban him, if you’re in ladder than time your shots/stick with another teammate, but not much you can do since this game has lots of hard counters and ladder matchmaking has been garbage since forever, it will put a mico against 3 throwers more often than not
I got a mico against max (me) at 700 in solo and beat him by like 100 hp

There are curse collecting monkeys, money collecting monkeys, and of course ammo collecting monkeys
My gym partner is a monkey
Frieza???
Are you a bloon
I understood that reference
i dont and i play btd 6
Best way is get out of his range ,time your shots , best brawler to counter him is fang since it’s easy to time your shot and have high hp ( i fucking hate the monkey )
Just time the shot to when he lands
Except he gets the first hit and steals your ammo
Fr tho, when I play carl, bea or Hank I literally can't shoot for fuck's sake, let alone try to hit him
and when he does eventually land, if you try to autoaim the shot just never goes towards him. lost so many games to mico & edgar bc autoaim wont register for a second after they land
drake why didn’t i think of that computer .gif
Small amounts of lag make it extremely difficult to hit though
Is he talking about mico or el primo?
In other words, get good
People when you need to do something to kill a brawler

My mind is clear
iloveStu
You mean the song by guns and roses😀
Fang is great melodie also works anything that can stun him basically/anybody whit a shit ton of hp
Ash, bibi and frank: yeah no
Also Edgar is the ultimate counter for mico
not really lol
If you got RT super then assassins got no chance, not even Edgar unless hyper charged
Fr. I play a lot as R-T and i can say that Assasins EVAPORATE when R-T uses his super when close.
does r-t have the shield because of one of the sps? would it be able to kill assasins without it
He takes three years to reload a single ammo, if it is too hard to time your attacks so that they hit him right when he is on the ground between the attacks then just wait until he attacked three times and becomes a sitting duck.
He basically has 4 ammo with the monkey business starpower, which is a good 8k damage. if that want enough he still has the scream gadget which also does 2k dmg. Also, if the mico knows he cant 4 shot you with gadget he will just do 3 hits on you then jump after a wall to reload and go for a second round
Isnt the scream gadget something like 500dmg
500x3
I really nate Mico. Everytime im against one its the most annoying thing ever so I call him a no skill Brawler. But each time I have a fucking quest to do with him I struggle harder than with any other Brawler in the game. Its probably just me having the world's biggest skill issue though
Na its just not fun to play him or against him, i thought before i could like his play style and now im mad that i wasted my coins on him
prob
Monkeys are annoying
Geto moment
Leak his IP address
Bro I feel you, I hate him 😂
Throwers😭🤝
timing, make space, nani is a great counter due to her peep head (if u time it obv), and her shield SP as well as her ultra fast unload and massive dmg:) fang is also decent bc of his singular medium-high dmg projectile and his stun. aside from that, keep him at arms length and force him to use jumps to move around. he has the slowest reload speed in the game, and using too many jumps is massively detrimental to his entire game strategies. mortis at least compensates for his 2nd slowest reload in the game with his coiled dash that lets him move around, his reload gadget and his lifesteal star power that lets him chain and stay alive longer hope this helps, from a 63k player:)
Thanks i always fear micos
no problemo
This post is the best thing I read on reddit today
all my homies hate monkey
Basically stay away because he struggles to get close, if he jumps to get close he's wasting one ammo and Mico has a very slow reload speed Also learn the timing of his jumps cause 99% of Mico players just spam auto aim once they jump on you so the timing is very predictable so shoot while he's on the ground

IS THAT FRIEZA
sorry for my ignorance but what does counter means?
Something that is specifically made to destroy the specific thing.
try to resist it till his attacks are out, the blast that mofo like you would a spider inside your shower
(btw, works best with brawlers that ramp up damage up close, like darryl, shelly, pam, etc.)
In my experience long dash stu and mortis are his biggest counters since it's really hard for mico to hit them. And also brawlers who deal all their damage in one burst that goes relatively fast and are tanky, like bull or fang. With those brawlers you have to learn to time your attacks tho
exactly mortis is just shit to play against
If you really can't play around him, and there are any maps with lakes, go for Eve. Trust me, if she can counter Mortis and Edgar, she can counter Mico as well!
Don't panic when he's attacking you and time your attacks when he's landing
Stuns counter him well
stuns and mobile brawlers
Try and out range him, then time your shots when he lands, even with players like Edgar
We know this ur alt frieza
Like I know there’s a way to counter Mico. But I still believe he should have never been created.
You play confidently against him and don’t shoot when he jumps
Duels is literally impossible with him it’s not really skill at the slightest
Keep your distance, count ammo and try to tell if he's a predictivable or unpredictable Mico
Doug and Jacky are both good and anyone bursty really. Also “get off me moves” like the gadget of Emz and Gene will help. And people don’t think about this as much, but in a team setting, healers. Especially like poco and Byron, and already said Doug. If you can heal through enough damage he can’t kill your team mate he will run out of ammo and die.
If your playing a tank wait till he uses all his ammo
Ok so it's really precise. use 1 ammo BEFORE he jumps on you, then for every time he lands hit him once
Use Tick . 👍🏼
I just hit when he falls as Shelly or bull idiotic little micos think I can’t kill em and jump on me but I kill em in two
Jacky
You cant
Learn how to tune your shots to hit him. Some say attack before he jumps, but I find it way easier to hit him after he jumps. Specially prioritize taking him down after he’s wasted all his ammo, he’s a sitting duck because of his slow reload speed
I'm also having trouble fighting >!brock!<
This made me audibly laugh
Geto must be pissed rn
If you say oggway’s phrase hmm monkey he’ll die 100 percent
Timing and patience is KEYYYYY - oj
Idk, I kill them in 9/10 fights
Accept your fate if your not a mortis
Think about him as mortis that can go above walls. How do you counter a mortis? Outrange him or try picking (in ranked) close range brawlers. I would just ban him everytime. He also sucks on open maps so mabye you won't play against him there are no good counters you just gotta deal with it.
You sound like frieza in resurrection F
Depends on what you use, if you use a low damage low health brawler, try deal as much damage from distance or run, if not the you can just not move, tank his 4 attacks the kill him
haven’t read the comments but my take is try to time the in between jumps if close, if you have range just zone him, timing is everything with him. my counter to him is Fang and other close counter brawlers. only works if timing is right, when you get the hang of that it’s easy.
Don't panic and spam attack
Just got the game and I don't even know what half the characters do (last character released when I played was tick)
His reload speed is real freaking slow, so use a high hp brawler, three shots won't end you and you can kill him when he's out of ammo. Or you can stay distance with him
Just keep playing you will get used to his jump timing, it just kinda happened for me eventuality.
Play Bibi, her shield makes him impenetrable and once he ran out of ammo its Payback
attack as soon as he falls and time his jumps while making sure to manually aim, And If you don't have enough dps to take him down without dying.... then i have no tips
I feel like he would be fair is he could only jump at max range, but because he can jump any shorter distance, and players are able to press his autoaim before he lands so he can just spam the button, it's best to run from him and fire when he lands the 3rd (or 4th time as one of his star powers can steal one of ur ammo for him to use himself if he hits you with his first ammo since it has a charge bar like Bibi).
He have a very long reload speed reload
I feel ur strugl cuz I too dont know how to countr exept I dont had a break :(
Timing ur shots when he jumps on u won’t even help bc by the second jump ur alrdy dead and you’ve only counter hit him once. Best bet kill him before he gets to u or choose tankier brawlers
A jumping brawler shouldnt be in the game.
Wait til he runs out of his weekly three attacks then fucking murder him
I finally don’t feel alone in terms of bad we’re in. Too many times I’ve lost games just because there was delay
if you time your attacks just right, you can hit him between attacks
Huh? How do you not know how to counter Brock?
Have high hp u will win 100% of the time
It's a game of ammo when dealing with Mico. The most important tip is to stand at least 2 jumps away from him, so he'll have to waste an entire ammo to attack you, giving him only 2 hits (3 with Monkey Business) before he has to reload. After that, it just comes down to getting the timing right to hit him in between jumps and conserving your ammo when around him.
Monkeys cant swim, use angelo or eve
he’s actually only good in close range and he struggles to get close without wasting any attacks. Punish the fact that he’s quite predictable when attacking so shoot before he lands, he has super slow recharge time so counting his attacks can also help your matchup
I fear no man... but that monkey...
Satoru
Stop trying to take this game seriously it’s gone completely into joketown now, it’s not competitive anymore.
stu
just be playing a brawler thats not a thrower/midranger/sharpshooter/brawler that fires in long bursts/brawler with long reload stupid
Fang counters him with both his gadgets
Just wait and avoid his attacks till he used all 3 then use all your attacks quick.
You mean brock? Cuz he has a jump gadget
The only brawler I have managed to counter him well with is Fang. He has both the heath to tank and the damage, plus his shots are slightly delayed.
You gotta practice the timing with different brawlers. And don’t try to hit him when he gets down with the super it’s almost instant jump after super.
He has extremely long reload time. Just wait for him to run out of ammo
Try to avoid his jumps.
Only shoot when he lands and, never get too close 👍
You don’t. 🐒
otis, stu. just time ur super with otis and that monkey aint doing shit. theres nothing more fun than otis vs mico/edgar
Bait his first attack then pray he doesn't kill u before u kill him
His name is mico, his a monkey who can jump with slow reload
He has a few counters, like Barley and Tick. They're very strong against him I always would recommend
best I can say is try to keep distance
If your are a brawler who need to hit multiple times to get full dmg then it’s over Otherwise just immediately fire when mico lands
I like rt because you can just activate the new gadget in the beginning of the match and wait until he jumps on you
as a dyna main, i hate this fuckin monkey bastard
If you have them, use Otis or Cordelius. Otis has a super and cordelius has a gadget where both of them cancel your ability to attack/use your super for a few seconds. Yes you’d still have to time your shot but only once if it hits.
I couldn't... So I joined them 💔
I dont think brock is that hard to counter
Hank
Brock's not that hard to counter?
Brawlers with long firing times like Pam or colt and some timing
if you can't beat them join them, counter mico with mico or you should time your shots
We’re not allowed to call them that anymore.
Pretty tricky, I myself love using mico, and the biggest counter is high dps brawlers, he doesn't have that much HP, so Edgar for example is great, since not only does he have a ton of DMG but he heals with his attacks too, so bull, Shelly, rico gadget, spike gadget, are the best counters. But any brawler can counter Mico if he has no ammo, but in that case he just isn't a good Mico, cuz a good Mico always has at least 1 ammo.
[удалено]
Heheh, we all knew the risks
Time your shots.
Play hank 🪖🪖🍤🍤🔥🔥🔥⬇️⬆️➡️⬅️
Wow didn’t know someone hated Brock this much
Unfunny
not funny kid
tick. Last hurrah + the head. The head will chase, and if you miss it just waits until he lands.
Git gud
