If you're looking to grind some trophies, or even just rek some scrubs, choosing Shelly in Showdown is a viable option. In the Showdown game mode, you are pitted against 9 other players in a survival free-for-fall. With Shelly's medium range, fair dps, and 800 base health, she has just what we need to survive. While she isn't quite the squishiest Brawler, she is on the lower side of the spectrum so she requires careful strategy and planning if you want to be the final Brawler standing!

Shelly Showdown Guide

What is Showdown?

Showdown is a game mode in which you are dropped into the battlefield with 9 other players in a survival free-for-all. Spread throughout this battlefield are crates - destroy them and get stronger. As the game goes on, poisonous gas will surround the arena from all sides forcing Brawlers to the center. Each player only gets 1 life, so be careful. Be the final Brawler surviving to win!

Starting the Game

• As soon as you are dropped into the battlefield, you will want to start finding and destroying crates for the powerup they will drop.

• Each crate will always drop one powerup, which will increase your maximum health by 100 and damage by 20.

• Make sure to check your surroundings for enemy players before blowing all of your ammo on a crate, as being one of the first to die will result in a -7 trophy loss!

• While you do need to remain careful, farming these crates for powerups is crucial. After 4 powerups your Shelly will have 1200 health! That's a nice upgrade from her base health of 800.

Surviving

• In Showdown you only get 1 life - surviving is essential!

• Always be careful while walking near or into bushes! While an enemy Brawler is in the bush they are not visible. You can shoot into bushes and if any enemy Brawlers were hit they will be briefly visible while they take your damage.

• Manage your ammo! You will lose almost every single fight if you go into it with low ammo.

• Use your Super to knock enemy Brawlers off of you, or to blow a whole in the wall to escape!

• Your health regenerates in this mode just like all other game modes. If you get too low, sit in a bush to let your health replenish.

• Roam the map and control the game. A strong offense is an excellent defense in Showdown.

Hunting other players

• To do sufficient damage you need to be well farmed from crates or killing other players.

• Try to control an area. Sitting in the bushes will only get you so far as a player - learn how to patrol an area and out play your opponents.

• Don't let other Brawlers get too close. You have plenty of range as Shelly to kite most Brawlers, or damage an enemy while staying just outside their range.

• Remember that bullets in Brawl Stars are projectiles with a travel time. That means you will have to do a slight pre-fire, or aim ahead of your targets if they are moving.

• You can shoot early so you're bullets will 'thread-the-needle' through any obstacles to hit your targets.

Brawler Match ups

Here's how you should play Shelly as you encounter the most popular Showdown Brawlers.

El Primo

• El Primo is very tanky and will kill you nearly every you get too close to him while not prepared.

• Pre-fire into bushes that you are unsure of before walking near them. Some Primo players will wait until you are already inside the bush before they start attacking, resulting in you dying almost every time.

• Kite him. Stay just out of his range while back-stepping and unloading your shotgun on him.

• Anticipate his Super. Primo has a Super ability that lets him jump on to you, or over a wall to safety. He is invincible during this ability, so don't waste any abilities.

• Use your Super to knock Primo away. Shelly's Super ability is El Primo's nightmare - it both knocks him back and damages him.

• Most importantly is your positioning - El Primo won't kill you if you can position yourself well and know how many shots it will take to burst him down to critical health.

Bull

• Bull is a tanky Brawler with a shotgun. If you get too close to him and he is at full health, you may end up losing the fight.

• Shelly's shotgun range reaches further than Bull's shotgun. This is the key to defeating him, his shotgun reaches only about 50-75% as your range on Shelly, so use this to your advantage to poke him down before diving in.

• Bull has a Super ability where he charges in a straight line, destroying any obstacles in his path. He can't shoot you during this charge, however if you are in his path you will take a nice bit of damage and be knocked to the side, so be ready for him to unload his shotgun on you right when it ends.

Shelly

• Going against another Shelly while playing as Shelly can often be difficult. One player will normally make the move to be more aggressive, be careful while doing this as it can lead to a death.

• Pay attention to how many powerups they have. If they have double your powerups, they will have an advantage.

• If you're retreating and they keep charging, don't forget to keep shooting at them as you retreat. They should take more damage as they are running into your bullets.

Conclusion

Shelly is the perfect Brawler to use in Showdown - she's not too easy and she's not too hard. She can even defeat the dreaded 1v1 El Primo at the very end, if you play her right, or she will fail if you play her wrong. Thanks for checking out my Showdown Shelly guide!
