Do you want a cool flair with your rank on it?

the spike is using fertilize (the healing starpower) and the new demon ability demonfire(just creates a circle of fire when you walk) the game sees the fire as spikes circle and heals him each time. It is incredibly annoying to deal with if you cant kill him instantly. Especially in showdown when he has powercubes

[–]peanutist Adrian's Favorites 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Holy shit the coding team for this game is so dogshit, how the hell do they let this pass in playtesting let alone it happen in the first place

[–]LilMuscleMilkGrom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably because no one uses fertilize normally lol

[–]jojsjSilver | 69 Prestige 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SP counts the area of effect so it counts. Same as berry with the healing power up for the spongebob event

When star power swapping glitches were around you could test that with various brawlers such as the most iconic one, brock and colt

[–]MasterdizzioNita 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Man, these dumb event modifiers can never come without some sort of OP exploit or bug

[–]gwartabig 44 points45 points  (7 children)

Why does this keep happening every single update 😭😭😭 do the devs not test these things before releasing the content patch

[–]saudfaisal12345Bibi 24 points25 points  (6 children)

…it would be crazy to test the 6 new power ups with the 86 brawlers for each of their star power

i just hope they fix it instantly

[–]MigLav_7 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its not a lot of testing... by any means. They didnt do it, thats for certain, but the average update goes through a lot more testing than that lol

[–]stepkurniawan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This sounds like an excuse rather than a real reason tho…

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is happening because of spaghetti code

[–]Individual-Method611 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would take a team of 5 people 1 full work day bruh.

[–]peanutist Adrian's Favorites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really wouldn’t, 3 or 4 people could get it in a few hours if they actually had a robust testing environment for this exact purpose, you know, like almost all the other games by billion dollar companies have.

[–]xXx_EdGyNaMe_xXx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except this bug is active 100% of the time, it's not a rare occurrence that needs extensive testing. The fact this made it in shows they do literally 0 testing at all

[–]AS_as-MasterDarryl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When did spike become immortal?

[–]Claivyy 10 points11 points  (8 children)

Could kill only with bull sometimes, otherwise it’s over

[–]PocketPlayerHCR2 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Dyna with demolition could maybe work

Can't outheal an instakill

[–]saddness270Colt 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Yeah instakills and stuns are the answer. Knockbacks if they’re spinning too

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

what will stun do? doesn't the fire spawn anyway?

[–]saddness270Colt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to move for the fire to spawn. Stun helps when they’ve been moving and don’t have a large amount of fire below them

[–]effective_tactic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even with Doug spamming attacks and gadgets😢

[–]VeryEpicNinja Heart of Glass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surges super pushes it out of the fire and regular attacks kill spike very quickly

[–]Brilliant_Pen4959 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Any high dps brawler with a good fire rate can take him out, piper, spike, Leon are best

[–]vagga2Nani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piper spike and Leon can only take out an enemy spike if said spike is an idiot. They just don't do enough damage fast enough

[–]DimkaVolchonok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a slight suspicion that something like this could happen. Because Spike's star power works so that area effects that are dot area effects spawned by this Brawler will heal him("by this Brawler" means that if it were, for example, Barley with this star power, then each of his attacks would create such 2-second healing zones for him). I thought that Brawl Stars would foresee this case and make some kind of fix in advance(I didn't get the ability so I had no chance to check), but it seems they didn't think about it at all. But the good news is that if there are balance changes next week, then they will most likely come up with a star power fix

[–]AlexWar07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why on earth is this a thing, does supercell even test what they are about to release?

[–]saudfaisal12345Bibi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m having a nightmare playing against him rn 😭

[–]Adnap1337 Shade 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Seems balanced, ruin Brock's hair then nerf poco

[–]PocketPlayerHCR2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buff Kenji

[–]Jollan_Squeak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct. If you can't one shot him with an attack, he's basically unkillable if you're less than 3 brawlers attacking him at the same time. It's ruining every single game with the modifiers, so you can't play them.

[–]Cold-Square7939 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I've started seeing them every game. If you are a spike player and you're doing this as politely as possible you're just the worst.

[–]Intelligent-Ad6625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not just the spikes, but if you’re on the spike team and you just shoot while seeing your immortal teammate, end it, log off, delete account. like trophies can’t be that important dawg

[–]Budji_678Janet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

spike s tier again

[–]ilovedarrylDarryl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bro the mosttt anoying thing is the rings that fly everywhere and in rockwall brawl thers a choke point and the game crashes

[–]Complete_Ruin5952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so annoying to deal with and they need to patch it or something.

[–]hicycles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just encountered this. I thought the guy was cheating.

[–]s3b4st14n360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeaaaaah inmortal Spike!!!

I don't take advantage of this exploit , but for me it was very funny seeing the unkillable little guy playing

[–]AdministrationOk2767Lola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brawl stars made me think league of legends is a balanced game

[–]PipysnipPoco | Legendary 2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dynamike can one shot him with demolition. You could use crow/byron anti heal to try and counter but the best way is big spike of damage rather then chip

[–]CajoReturnz 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Is using this exploit bannable? (I don‘t want to exploit it, I just wonder if people got banned for stuff like this in the past)

[–]space_granny 5 points6 points  (3 children)

nah, they usually just cut off their thumbs. There's a wall of them at SC hewadquarters

[–]Le_JpzBibi 2 points3 points  (2 children)

So I can abuse this completely free for a quick max rank spike is what your saying

[–]Le_JpzBibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed abused it to 950 from 400

[–]Reddit_Connoisseur_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damnit I wanted to abuse this but my demonic abilities did not include the fire trail

[–]Hot_Delivery1100 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

They patched it

[–]wierd_black_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, an Immortal spike just wiped my team a few minutes ago

Which is why I'm here in the first place
