Let’s follow LDShop, as in this guide, we will give you a comprehensive breakdown of both Sirius and Najia’s skills, mechanics, how to build them and best lineup to put them in.

Sirius

Basic Info 

• Rarity: Ultra Legendary
• Class: Controller

Sirius is the 100th Brawler in the game and one of the two Ultra legendary rarity brawlers in Brawl Stars. He is a controller class brawler who has moderately high health for survivability, a variable range and good amount of damage.

Apart from that, the qualities that make Sirius is his insanely fast movement speed, reload speed and the fact that his Super itself is the biggest utility for him. His trait allows his Super to charge itself over time. Moreover, his ranged attacks fires two projectiles at the same time which has two different attacks - Long ranged Shadow Strike and Starr Bomb which explodes on the ground but has a short range of effect.

Attack

Sirius’ attack is called Binary Starr. As mentioned before, he conjures two projectiles – one is a long ranged one called Shadow Strike while the other is a short range Bomb called Starr Bomb. After every 4th successful hit on an enemy, Sirius will gain a Brawler Shadow and can store up to 3 shadows at a time.

Trait

Sirius’ trait lets his Super charge over time. This trait is one of his biggest strengths as unlike the manual way of charging it by constant damage dealing, his super charges 75% per second from his trait alone. You can spam his Super per 1.33 seconds.

Ultra Trait

Sirius’ Ultra trait lets him summon shadows of the brawlers. He gains shadows with his attack and spawn them to control them using his Super. To gain a shadow, Sirius has to deal damage 4 times to an enemy brawler using Starr Bomb or Shadow strike. Do not underestimate these shadow brawlers as they inherit 70% of the original brawler, deal 55% of their damage and also gain the same movement speed. Similarly to how Lawrie works, the shadows will also try to strafe around enemy projectiles and not run cluelessly towards the enemy.

Super

Sirius’s super is called Shadow Summon where he unleashes all the collected Brawler Shadows which have the same characteristics of the original brawler’s counterpart including ATK and HP. The limit of shadows is 3, so he can summon 3 at a time. After spawning the shadows, the super can be used to control them. Sirius’ Super is a deadly ability in his kit and his trait only makes it much more lethal as it becomes quite spammable every 1.33 seconds. 

Hypercharge

Sirius’ Hypercharge is called “Unlimited Power!” that acts as a buff for the shadows. When activated, Sirius summons shadows that have more HP and ATK stats. These buffed shadows have 85% of the Original brawler’s HP and deal 70% of the damage of the Brawler counterpart. Moreover, Sirius himself gains 20% extra movement speed and a 5% increase in damage.

Best Build

There are mainly two possible ways of building Sirius’s build and this one is the more effective one that relies on the shadow’s power:

Gadget – A Starr Is Born

Sirius fires a projectile that summons a shadow on hit, also slowing the target hit by the attack by 20% for 2 seconds. This effect has a 17 seconds cooldown.

Star Power – The Darkest Star

Each hit with a Shadow Strike counts as 2 to collect Brawler Shadows, instead of 1.

Gear 1 – Damage

Damage dealt is increased by 15% if Health is under 50%.

Gear 2 – Shield

Grants a Shield of 900HP which gets consumed by Sirius and the shield will generate over a time period of 10 seconds once his HP is full.

You can also replace the gadget with “Master of Shadows” to heal the Shadow’s health by 25% by making them return to Sirius. The Star Power – The Darkest Star is a crucial item and it is recommended by most of the pros. Finally, you can opt Gadget Cooldown or vision as gears for more vision and cd reduction. You can’t really miss out on Sirius, so buy Brawl Star gems and buy him ASAP from the shop. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

Najia

Basic Info 

• Rarity: Mythic
• Class: Damage Dealer

Najia is the latest upcoming addition to brawl stars and will be marked as the 101th Brawler in the game. Najia is a mythic brawler of the Damage Dealer class. She has a moderate HP with a recent reloading speed, long range and variable damage output. With a 770 Movement speed, she is also quite quick on her feet.

Attack

Najia’s attack is called “Ssssnake Delivery”. She hurls a jar containing a deadly paper snake that pierces enemies, while dealing three ticks of Damage over time to the enemy for a period of 2 seconds. This effect can be stacked by attacking the same enemy multiple times. 

Super

Najia’s Super is called “Damage Noodles” where he lobs three jars of the paper snake at a long range that will spawn the snakes. These snakes will find the closest target to them and attack them. Upon making contact, the enemy will be poisoned over 4 seconds.

Hypercharge

Najia’s Hypercharge has not been released. We will update you as soon as we get any leaks or official news on it.

Best Build

For the build, here is a recommended build for Najia to maximize her poison's lethality:

Gadget – Poison Puddles

The Poison Puddles will let the enemies poisoned by the snakes, create poisonous puddles for a period of 4 seconds. This gadget has a cooldown of 17 seconds.

Star Power – Poisonous Protector

Enemy brawlers that are defeated by Najia’s poison effects will spawn a snake per enemy that will have half the HP of normal snakes.

Gear 1 – Gadget Cooldown

Reduces Gadget Cooldown by 15%.

Gear 2 – Shield

Grants a Shield of 900HP which gets consumed by the brawler. The shield will generate over a time period of 10 seconds once his HP is full.

For replacements, you can opt for Najia Jar as the Gadget to make her completely immobile and untargetable by hiding in a vase. For the star power, venomous is also a good choice that increases the poison damage inflicted to the enemies based on their HP. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the brawlers seem promising as their kit makes them kind of overpowered. While you have to wait for Najia’s release date, you can go for Sirius and seriously rank up your trophies in the best possible way.
