Glowbert in Brawl Stars: What It Is & How It Works (2025) – BrawlOne

You’ve seen Glowbert surface in Update 65, but you might not realize how his tether flips fights. You anchor an enemy with Glowbeam while funneling 90% of that damage into a teammate, then chain a Super that fears and silences to crack open lanes. His trait stacks Super charge from real healing, letting you pace engagements. With the right gadgets and Star Powers, his sustain becomes tempo control—so the question is when, not if, you pull the trigger.

Who Is Glowbert in Brawl Stars?

Glowbert is a Mythic support brawler introduced in Update 65 (Dec 17, 2025), a marine biologist from Starr Park obsessed with sea life whose kit revolves around sustain and control. You meet glowbert as a marine biologist working behind the scenes, turning oceanic research into battlefield utility. He plays like a caretaker who manipulates fights rather than brute-forcing them. You’ll recognize him by his long-range Glowbeam that links teammates and targets, plus his eerie presence that nudges enemies into bad positions. He thrives when you value team health, spacing, and tempo. Because he charges Super faster through healing, you’re rewarded for protecting allies and timing engagements. When you pick Glowbert, you choose influence: you keep teammates alive, disrupt enemy plans, and set the pace of every push.

Glowbert Abilities Explained

You’ll get the most out of Glowbert by mastering his Heal Trait, which charges faster through actual healing. Start with Glowbeam: tether an enemy to a teammate to drain foes while restoring allies, but keep line of sight to maintain the link. Then use Creep from the Deep to fear enemies, slow their shots, and set up safe tethers and heals.

Trait

Often overlooked at first glance, the Trait “Sleeps with the Fishes” quietly turbocharges your Super whenever real healing occurs. Any time healing lands—whether a gadget burst or your glowbeam tethers—your Super bar climbs based on the exact HP restored. Healing an ally charges 1.2× faster than dealing the same damage, so playing for sustain outpaces pure poke. If Glowbeam heals glowbert or a teammate, you’ll see Super progress tick in real time.

Because charge scales with actual healing, overheal doesn’t count. Power Level and global damage/heal modifiers adjust how much you gain. Boosters that amp healing—like More Lumens! or Slippery Savior—compound the effect, accelerating your Creep from the Deep. Prioritize safe, continuous tethers to damaged allies to maximize Trait value and tempo.

Attack – Glowbeam

Thread the needle with Glowbeam, a long-range beam that latches onto one enemy and one teammate to create a single tether pair. When you land glowbeam, you’re tethered to an enemy while simultaneously linking an ally, channeling damage to the foe and healing your teammate for 90% of that value. The beam applies damage-over-time at 10 ticks per second, so short connections still matter.

Keep line of sight. The tether breaks if targets stray too far, go behind cover, or stay obstructed for 2 seconds—though brief peeks can flicker the link back on. Prioritize safe angles that maintain both ends.

Heal to charge faster. Supercharge scales with actual healing and grants 1.2× charge versus equal damage. Pop More Lumens! to double Glowbeam’s damage and healing for 2.5 seconds.

Super – Creep from the Deep

Unleash Creep from the Deep to flip fights with control, not burst. When you trigger the Super, Glowbert reveals his face in a wide piercing cone. Anyone caught in the arc is hit by low damage, marked visible, and pelted by slowing projectiles. More importantly, enemies are Feared for 2 seconds: they’re forced to run away, move slower, and can’t attack, Super, or Hypercharge.

Use creep from the deep to break pushes, cancel channeling, and peel for your tethered ally. Aim so multiple targets facing you get clipped; the cone’s generous width punishes grouped enemies. Don’t overextend—if Glowbert falls, the Fear ends early. Chain the Super with Glowbeam’s tether to drain fleeing foes and convert their health into sustain-driven map control.

Glowbert Gadgets

You’ll juggle Glowbert’s two gadgets to control tempo and sustain. Use Slippery Savior to dash, reposition, and instantly top up nearby allies for clutch swings. Trigger More Lumens! to spike your tether’s damage and healing for a brief burst when you’re committing to a fight.

Slippery Savior

With Slippery Savior, Glowbert turns a single button into burst mobility and team sustain. You dash in your facing direction, then instantly heal allies and yourself for 2500 HP within a 3.33-tile radius at the landing spot. Use Slippery Savior to escape danger, gap-close for a tether, or anchor a mid-fight collapse; the heal’s spike also supercharges your Trait, accelerating Creep from the Deep. Respect the 13-second cooldown—dash for value, not vanity.

Pop it as your frontline commits, after dodging key shots, or to stabilize objective fights where a sudden AoE top-up flips tempo.

More Lumens!

Often your best window to flip a skirmish, More Lumens! doubles Glowbeam’s damage and tether healing for 2.5 seconds, turbocharging both poke and sustain. You’ll spike pressure and patch teammates fast, since each damage-over-time tick hits twice as hard and heals at twice the usual 90% rate.

Pop it when Glowbert has a clean line of sight; the tether breaks if you lose vision. The boost applies whether you’re linked to one target or juggling both an enemy and an ally, maximizing swing potential. Because healing fuels Super charge, More Lumens accelerates Creep from the Deep, letting you chain fear and projectile slow sooner.

It stacks multiplicatively with Star Powers or debuffs, so you’ll see amplified final numbers. Time it to win trades or secure objectives.

Glowbert Star Powers

You’ve got two Star Powers that reshape Glowbert’s tether play: Biotic Ecosystem and Parasitism. Use Biotic Ecosystem to weaken the tethered enemy by 20% while boosting your linked ally’s damage by 20%, but remember it only works with both links active. Pick Parasitism when you want sustain; you heal for 50% of your Glowbeam’s damage to the tethered target, scaling hard with damage-boosting gadgets.

Biotic Ecosystem

Although it hinges on precise positioning, Biotic Ecosystem turns Glowbert’s dual-tether moments into a power swing: when you’ve linked an enemy and a teammate at the same time, the enemy deals 20% less damage while your ally hits 20% harder. This Glowbert star power only works during an active pair—one foe and one ally—tethered by Glowbeam. Lose line of sight, and the pair breaks, ending the buffs and debuffs instantly.

Use it to force favorable trades. Tag a burst threat, then chain to your carry to blunt incoming damage while amplifying your team’s kill pressure. It’s not tied to your Super or gadgets, so you’ll rely on spacing and vision control. Protect your link, kite corners, and re-establish pairs quickly to keep the damage swing rolling.

Parasitism

While Glowbert excels at team sustain, Parasitism turns that sustain inward: whenever your Glowbeam is tethered to an enemy, you heal for 50% of the actual damage dealt each tick. You’re tapping a constant trickle of self-heal from the tether’s 10 ticks per second, and the numbers reflect real damage dealt after buffs or mitigation. Parasitism only triggers when an active tether to an enemy exists, so keep line of sight and maintain the link.

Lean on gadgets and timing. Pop More Lumens! to double tether damage and instantly double your self-heal rate during its window. Chain cooldowns to stay attached through dodges and cover peeks. You can still tether an ally for team sustain, but Parasitism requires the enemy line to convert offense into personal survival.

How to Play Glowbert Effectively

Even before the first shot, set up Glowbert as a pocket playmaker: anchor fights by tethering an enemy and a teammate to trigger Biotic Ecosystem, cutting the foe’s damage by 20% and boosting your ally’s by 20%. Open with max‑range Glowbeam to secure a long tether, then strafe to maintain line‑of‑sight and keep ticks rolling. Heal teammates for 90% of damage while charging Super faster; if you’ve got Parasitism, you’ll self‑sustain off tether damage too.

Pop More Lumens! during objectives or dives to double damage and healing for 2.5 seconds. Use Slippery Savior to dash into cover or touch allies for an instant 2500 HP top‑up. When Super’s ready, Creep from the Deep to fear for 2 seconds, reveal, and silence—then collapse while projectiles crawl.

Is Glowbert Worth Upgrading First Compared to Other Mythics?

Yes, if you prioritize team sustain and control. You’ll unlock strong value from Glowbeam’s tether and Super’s peel, especially in 3v3. If you solo queue or prefer burst carries, upgrade other mythics like Gene, Byron, or Squeak first.
