Find out about the skins, gadgets, and star power of Brawl Stars Lord of the Night Mortis

Brawl Stars fans! Today, we are going to learn everything about Mortis, the Lord of the Night from Brawl Stars. Mortis is a brawler in the game "Brawl Stars" and is known as Ems' uncle in the official setting. His name comes from the Latin word 'Mortis', meaning 'death'. The walking appearance has been remodeled through the Brawl Pass update. Mortis dreamed of becoming an undertaker and a vampire, but his plans suffered a major setback because no one dies in Star Park. Mortis' normal attack is a brawler with the mobility to rush and attack. It is used in various combat situations by using the range increase gauge, but careful play is required due to low health and long reload time. Mortis' special attack is a powerful skill that summons a swarm of bats, deals damage, and recovers health equal to 125% of the damage inflicted. It plays an important role in reducing the enemy's chance of counterattack. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of these mortis and how they can be used in games.

SKIN

MORTIS

Mortis has light purple hair in the profile photo, but has light apricot skin in the game. In case of victory, he lifts the shovel and places it on his back, and in case of defeat, he turns around sharply. Unlike the basic skin, the old model wears a torn hat and poses with a shovel on his shoulder when he wins.

ROCKABILLY MORTIS

Mortis' first skin looks like a delinquent student holding a big comb with fuzzy dice. When winning, they do leg splits and shake their heads, and when losing, they bend their knees and take a sagging posture. Despite the high price, it was evaluated as low cost-effectiveness due to the lack of changing effects, and was later changed to an archive skin, making it rare to purchase.

TOP-HAT MORTIS

The skin that allows you to unlock Mortis for free is a basic skin with a hat added. This skin is actually treated as a regular skin, and is preferred by many users compared to the Gentleman Mortis skin. Mortis's default skin did not have a hat before the remodel, but it was pointed out that it was inconsistent as he was shown wearing a hat in all advertisements and profile photos.

NIGHT WITCH MORTIS

This is Mortis' dark witch skin created to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of Clash Royale. This skin depicts the Dark Witch dressed in the attire of the Dark Witch and holding the Dark Witch's axe. Light blue and purple effects occur when using normal attacks, and a purple aura appears under your feet when using special attacks. Its hideous appearance, with pupilless eyes and a long chin, shocked and scared many users when it was released, but thanks to its cool attack effects, this skin was popular even before the thief Mortis appeared. It is still preferred by many users.

ROGUE MORTIS

He wears Arab-style blue clothes and a sultan-style hat, and his eyes turn sky blue. Instead of a shovel, he carries a sword, and the sword has an object similar to Jin's lamp attached to it. Normal attacks have the effect of sending sand flying, and when you hit an opponent, an X appears. The effect of the special attack changes to a sand whirlwind. In case of victory, he swings his sword and moves in the air, stabs the sword into the ground and crosses his arms, and in case of defeat, he stabs the sword in the ground but appears frustrated as it is not pulled out. Every line is modulated into a high tone with an added echo. It is one of the most highly rated hero skins along with Pumpkin Stew, and has an attractive smooth motion and sound favored by experts.

BEACH TIME MORTIS

This Mortis skin, released under the Brawl Pass Season 7 theme, adopts the design from the 2019 animation 'Bizarre Beach' and was released two years later. Although its cost-effectiveness may be low, it is quietly gaining popularity as it revives the memories of old users.

MECHA MORTIS

This Mortis skin, which swings a sword for normal attacks and fires multiple shurikens along with electric energy storm for special attacks, charges forward when victorious, slashing logs in multiple directions with its sword and pointing it in front of it. When defeated, it disappears using ninja techniques, leaving only a log behind. Although it is considered the best Mortis skin along with Rogue Mortis, many users still prefer Rogue Mortis because of its smooth attacks and movements, and the lack of ultimate sound changes. With this skin, you can purchase Dark Mecha Mortis and Light Mecha Mortis, and a kill effect was added in a recent update.

HOCKEY MORTIS

The Mortis skin is equipped with hockey gear and uses a hockey stick as a weapon. A snowflake and a puck come out during a normal attack, and a special attack fires a puck that collides and flies. When he wins, he walks and winks. When he loses, he swings his stick, then falls and slams his fist in frustration. If you purchase Hockey Mortis through this skin, you will be able to sponsor an esports team participating in the 2023 World Finals, and it will only be sold during the World Championship period. Due to a bug when it was first released, it was listed as an error in the catalog, but it is currently sold at a 20% discount during the World Championship.

GADGET

COMBO SPINNER

Mortis' first gadget uses a gadget that spins 360° and swings a shovel, inflicting the same damage as a normal attack to enemies within the range. This gadget cannot be used during normal attacks, but can be used after special attacks or while moving. It compensates for Mortis's lack of damage, increases kill determination, and allows it to effectively deal with multiple enemies. After the Brawl Pass update in May 2020, it was changed to allow movement even while using the gadget. This gadget maximizes instant burst damage and assassination abilities, giving it an advantage even in fights against brawlers like Fang.

SURVIVAL SHOVEL

Mortis' gadget 'Survival Shovel' doubles the reload speed for 4 seconds. This compensates for Mortis' slow reload time, making it advantageous for escape or continuous attacks. While using the gadget, you can attack up to 4 times in a row, and you can also combine it with the ultimate. This gadget increases both dealing and survivability, and is better suited for continuous dealing and escape rather than instantaneous burst damage. Compared to the 'Combo Spinner', the Survival Shovel is more advantageous for special attack charging and escape, resulting in a higher pick rate.

STAR POWER

CREEPY HARVEST

Mortis' first star power gives him the ability to recover 20% of his maximum health when he kills a Brawler. It also activates when you kill an enemy with a normal attack, special attack, or gadget, and has the advantage of increasing the amount of recovery the more Power Cubes you have in Showdown. This ability greatly increases your survivability after a kill. In the past, it was overtaken by the full-speed dash Star Power, which increases mobility, but after the balance patch in August 2021, it was included as a base talent for Mortis, increasing its status. Currently, the choice is made based on preference due to differences in holding power.

COILED SNAKE

Mortis' second star power, "Full Charge", was released on July 31, 2019. This star power causes Mortis' range increase gauge to recharge 2 seconds faster, reaching full charge in 2.5 seconds. Although it is advantageous in continuous team fights, “Soul Hunting” is more advantageous for survival after a surprise attack. Before the August 2021 update, it was a required star power, but after the update, it was changed to a reduced charging speed effect, and its rating fell. Usability has been improved with the January 2022 buff and September 2023 patch.

GEAR

BAT STORM

Mortis' BAT STORM gear greatly improves his accuracy, but his combat prowess is evaluated as essential along with his damage gear, which tends to disfavor Mortis from beginner to expert.

In conclusion

Mortis is a very difficult brawler to use in Brawl Stars, and its performance varies greatly depending on the presence or absence of special attacks and gadgets. His unique mobility and attack style are interesting, but his relatively low HP and slow reload speed require strategic judgment and great skill. Additionally, it is very vulnerable to counter picks, and understanding the current game meta and map is important when using it. Nonetheless, when used by a skilled player, it can be extremely powerful, with the ability to quickly take down enemies and easily escape combat. These characteristics make it popular among many users, but overall it is difficult to use.
