Damian - Mythic - Tank

Bolt - Epic - Tank

Bolt is a toy from the Battle Bumperz line, designed to deal damage by rolling into things! Though built to battle, he has always wanted to be a race car, reaching dangerous speeds to live out his dreams. Don't get in his way!

• Trait: Movement speed increases while moving.

• Attack (Battle Bumper): Bolt can deal damage by rolling into other Brawlers! The faster his speed, the higher his damage. With his main attack Bolt vents excess heat, dealing double his rolling damage as area damage and gaining speed!

• Super (Overdrive): Bolt goes into overdrive, gaining speed and damage reduction, leaving a damaging trail behind him.

• Gadget (Oil Change): Bolt gains a health shield based on his current speed.

In the Starr Nova Event, players can unlock the Void Master Finx Skin for free and level up Starr Girl Transformations to be used in selected game modes. The Transformation modifier is active in Featured Game Modes and randomly selected Trophy Modes.

• When the Starr Nova modifier is active, crystals spawn during the match. Collect one to transform into one of 5 Starr Girls for a limited time.

• Starr Girls have a unique kit (variants of Starr Nova, Spike, Bea, Juju, Amber) and are much stronger than the base Brawler.

• The Transformation has a telegraphed visual effect before it completes.

• There are 2 modifiers: one with Starr Nova and one without (she will be introduced during the event).

• Starr Girls start at Power Level 11 and can be upgraded to Power Level 30 by opening Nova Drops.

• Exception: Starr Nova starts at Max Power. Starr Nova’s crystal is introduced in Week 2 of the event.

• Getting a Starr Girl level up from a Nova Drop gives a damage activation for that girl on the Event screen. Tapping it triggers an attack which deals damage to Finx. Deal enough damage to Finx and you will earn his Skin! After unlocking the Void Master Finx Skin, you receive fallback rewards instead.

Buffs

Lumi

• Main Attack projectile speed increased from 3200 to 3500.

• Base Health increased from 3100 to 3500.

Lumi’s been one of the most underperforming Brawlers for the past few months, to a fairly massive degree. As such we want to give her some changes to let her core kit shine, with the goal of letting her deploy the utility/space control of her gadgets faster, as well as more ability to trade with increased base health.

Lola

• Super damage falloff reduced from 50% to 35% when Ego is near Lola.

Lola has been performing fairly average to below average, and could use some love to help her feel more competitive. The aim of these changes is to give her more power in space control with Ego, as well as making it more forgiving to use.

Fang

• Base Health increased from 4500 to 4800.

Fang is a little bit too feast or famine at the moment. The goal with this change is to let him more safely play aggressive and pressure/out trade more Brawlers.

Surge

• Super charge rate gained from Super increased from 70 to 75.

Surge is nearly in a healthy spot, just needing a little bit more oomph to let him ramp faster and have more presence. This change will aid him in pressing his advantage when using Super aggressively making for easier looping/cycling.

Maisie

• Star Power - Pinpoint Precision damage increased from 20% to 25%.

Marksman is a fairly competitive field these days, and Maisie is falling just behind the curve. With a bit more damage at max range, she should hopefully be able to compete a bit more with other popular Brawlers.

Draco

• Super damage resistance increased from 15% to 20%.

• Super movement speed increased from 15% to 20%.

In a tank heavy meta, Draco just isn’t tanky/threatening enough to compete with the rest. These changes will aid in him claiming back some of that space he used to have with incredible pressure and space control once he’s ramped into Super.

Jae-Yong

• Gadget - Time for a Slow Song cooldown reduced from 15s to 12s.

Overall Jae is doing good, but his gadgets are feeling pretty uneven in power for most cases and the aim here is to make them both feel more competitive.

Darryl

• Super damage increased from 400 to 660.

Darryl is situationally very powerful, but could use more versatility and threat when there are some other VERY prominent tanks in the meta.

Gigi

• Main Attack movement speed bonus increased from 30% to 35%.

• Main Attack max ammo increased from 8 to 10.

Gigi could use a bit more mobility to aid her in dodging enemy projectiles, and chasing down enemy Brawlers. With these the aim is to let her more regularly use her main attack as a movement tool, and be able to deal with some larger health pool Brawlers.

Glowy

• Main Attack range increased from 20 to 22.

The last round of changes were a bit too harsh on Glowy leaving him still a great healer but incredibly niche. Bringing him back to the middle ground to let him still have a wider impact but not over run every map.

Nerfs

Najia

• Najia’s main attack’s second projectile no longer auto-aims at enemy Brawlers after the first projectile is fired without input. Tapping at the right time still aims at the closest Brawler.

• Snake base HP reduced from 1,600 to 1,200 for both Super and Star Power snakes.

• Snakes summoned by her Super and Star Power no longer explode when defeated. They will only explode when striking enemy Brawlers.

Najia’s main attack is incredibly forgiving, and FAR too useful as a tool for gathering information and scouting bushes. Additionally her snakes are super difficult to deal with for a high number of brawlers requiring multiple ammo to take them down, and Melee brawlers having little counterplay as they can’t destroy them safely. With all of these she should be more reliable for melee brawlers to deal with and sneak up on.

Leon

• Bug Fix: Movement speed bonus from Smoke Trails Star Power and Lollipop Drop no longer stack.

• Base Health reduced from 3600 to 3300.

Leon is consistently one of the highest performing Brawlers being a safe, consistent, damage threat and having amazing team buffs with his Gadget. With the recent bugfixes, and some base health reduction he should feel more like a glass cannon assassin that needs to rely on strong positioning to make the most of his kit.

Ziggy

• Main Attack projectile delay increased from 700 to 750.

• Super charge rate reduced from 85 to 80.

• Gadget - Electric Shuffle cooldown increased from 13s to 17s.

Ziggy has quickly become one of the more powerful Brawlers in recent meta, mainly having much more consistency in landing his main attack making him an incredibly oppressive controller. We don’t want to fully roll back to where the main attack time was before it’s buff, but want to add a bit more time to allow for easier dodging. In addition his Electric Shuffle Gadget provides a ton of pressure and needs a bit longer cooldown for that amount of power it has.

Grom

• Main Attack damage reduced from 1140 to 1040.

• Star Power - X-Factor extra damage increased from 30% to 35%.

Grom has been a progressing player demon for ages, but as of recent has been climbing in both usage and win rate in higher levels. As of recently, he has even become a top 15 win rate Brawler in Legend 3+ ranked matches. The aim of these changes is to allow him to still hold onto a majority of his power, but move it to have a higher skill requirement in landing his damage to relieve some of that pressure he applies to progressing players but allow high level players the ability to succeed with him.

Mortis

• Star Power - Coiled Snake damage reduction reduced from 40% to 35%.

Mortis is a mega popular Brawler, in addition to that however he has still been holding a very high win rate. This change will make him feel a bit less comfortable when engaging enemies with his fully charged dash and push him to be more selective with his openings.

Pierce

• Super damage reduced from 1600 to 1400.

• Star Power - Mission Swimpossible slow reduced from 30% to 25%.

We finally found Pierce! With the introduction of his Hyper Charge his Super is feeling too oppressive, as well as Mission Swimpossible being his overwhelmingly dominant starpower . These changes should give him a slight nudge down in power, while still keeping his core kit feeling powerful.

Clancy

• Main Attack range reduced from 25 to 23.

Crab was a BIT too over tuned with the last round of changes. Overall his stage 3 is feeling great and matches his fantasy well, but it’s become a bit too easy and reliable to get to with the additional range and HP from the last round of changes. Pulling back his range will lower the cases where he will be a good pick and his overall positive matchup spread leaving us with a more healthy crustacean.

BiBi

• Star Power - Home Run attack bonus damage reduced from 20% to 15%.

• Gadget - Vitamin Booster healing from next attack reduced from 60% to 50%.

BiBi is still an absolute terror, boasting the highest win rate in upper levels of play even after the last round of changes. With a reduction to her burst and survivability BiBi should be more regularly landing triples instead of home runs with a higher chance at getting struck out.

Changes

• The poison cloud now deals extra damage to Brawlers standing inside it. The deeper you are in the poison cloud, the higher the damage!

Boss Fights: Void Colette & Void Master Finx

Two brand-new Boss Fights are here with all-new challenges! All Boss Fights are now 5 players.

Void Colette: Hunt down dark book nests or risk being overrun by mini Void Colettes!

Void Master Finx: A two-phased Boss Fight. When Finx is defeated the first time, he comes back even stronger as the Void Master! A central tower alternates between aiding and hurting the Brawlers. Finx also spawns his cat friends (Kit) to help take down the Brawlers.

• Speedrun Score: After defeating the Boss at the greatest difficulty, you can see your best time at that score.

• Look for Shiba Inu Nita in the shop during the Golden Week celebration!
  

Legacy Skin VFX Updates:

Changes to Bling, the Catalog, and the Shop!

If you have watched the latest “This is not a Roadmap” video, you know we would like to resolve some current problems with cosmetics and Bling. If you haven’t watched it… well, then… now you know!

Currently, we have some problems with how cosmetics are perceived, distributed, and sold in Brawl. And of course, we don’t expect to address everything in one go, but we’ll go through the points we believe to be problematic and how we would like to tackle them.

We will try a new version of our cosmetic system in the next update, and we are going to start with Bling, the Catalog, and the Shop.

Bling was initially created to make cosmetics accessible to every player. Our goal was to make the announcement and release of Skins/cosmetics exciting for everyone, as opposed to only a few who could purchase them. The hope was to reduce monetization on cosmetics a bit, with the expectation that it would vastly increase engagement with the game. It didn’t really do that, but it might have devalued cosmetics in the game as a whole.

Now, one of the problems we have is that Bling is sometimes an undesirable reward, and players have more Skins than ever, so they are not as excited about new ones as before.

We also have a Catalog of Skins available at all times, where players can spend their Bling on any available Skins or cosmetics. Still, Bling is a currency that keeps inflating (many players don’t spend it and keep accumulating more and more Bling) because there isn’t a strong incentive to spend it. It’s not for the lack of options, but perhaps there are so many Skins nowadays that it takes extra effort to go through them all and find what you really want to buy.

This is, of course, our interpretation of the current player behavior and with that said, the changes we are making are:

• We are removing the option to use Bling in the Catalog - instead, you spend your Bling in a new section of the Shop. Every Skins that was available in the Catalog will still be in rotation; we are only removing the option to buy it at any time.

  • Our hypothesis is that it’ll make choosing a lot easier if it’s a matter of a few options for you to consider each day, and an engaging activity of checking the offers.

• In this new Shop section, there’ll be bundles that cost Bling. These bundles will contain cosmetics (like Skins or Pins/Profile icons/Sprays) and Boxes/Starr Drops.

• This means Bling can now get you progression!

• The Bling bundles are Tap to Reveal, and each tap gives you some Bling.

• The Bling bundles have a wide range of discounts, from no discount at all to ACTUALLY 100%!

• The Bling bundles can also contain Mythic and Legendary Skins.

• Some Bling bundles will let you choose a Skin of a certain rarity from a giant list of options, so the catalog choice experience is preserved, it’s just not available all the time.

• We’ve also done an overall shop revamp (we’ll share more on this in the Brawl Talk)!

Other tuning updates to expect with the new update

We're also making some adjustments to F2P sources:

• Adding a new Bling Mega Quest to each season (additive, not taking away any current Mega Quests).

• Adding more Bling to the free side of the Brawl Pass.

• Reducing the % chance of Skins dropping from Starr Drops, Chaos Drops and Brawler Boxes.

The net impact of these changes is that F2P players still get the same number of Skins on average, but they have more control over which Skins they receive and can intentionally acquire more by engaging with our Bling Bundles. The hope is that these changes will make the Skins in your collection more meaningful since you chose more of them.

Now you are probably asking yourself:

Should I use my Bling NOW? Or wait for the update?

Overall, your Bling spend will be more impactful in the new update. This is because the new system will give you the chance to use Bling on bundles that contain built-in deals, progression, and occasional access to higher rarity Skins.

However, if there are specific Skins that are available in the Catalog right now that you REALLY want, you should buy them before the update so you don't have to wait for them to pop up in the new rotating shop.

How can I get Bling RIGHT NOW?

• Play Ranked (and collect rewards from the Pro Pass)

• Play your daily 6 wins.

• Resource Key for Bling (if you haven’t used it yet!)

• Get it from a small event happening this week (the week of the 30th of March).

As always, that’s the plan for the next update, and we will most likely tweak it (or not) based on its performance.

We still have a long list of cosmetic changes we want to make, but the ones described above are the first we will tackle in the upcoming update.

That’s all for now! And more information coming up in Brawl Talk!
See you!

We're expecting servers to need some time to stabilize after maintenance and a few things are happening in the next few days:

WEDNESDAY - February 25th All the New Trophy Prestige rewards up to 1000 Trophies (for each Brawler) that you don’t already own will be given out and Legacy Prestige scores will be updated gradually. Both of these will be happening gradually throughout the days after the update release, so they might take a few days to show.

THURSDAY - February 26th Sirius Box release event and the 99 Brawler win Quests #Brawlentines community event is extended for an extra day. Sirius’ date end and the final reward delivery will now be on February 26th.

FRIDAY - February 27th Last season Trophy Box delivered + Free ULTRA Trophy Box!

Once a Brawler reaches 1000 Trophies, players can Prestige them and continue playing to earn Prestige Trophies instead of regular Trophies. Prestiging unlocks new rewards and exclusive flex cosmetics that showcase mastery of that Brawler, and all Prestige progress is permanent with no seasonal resets.

Path to Prestige

• This menu is accessible from the Brawler's screen.

• Players will earn rewards along the way to 1000 Trophies.

• 250: Icon and Spray.

• 500: Pins.

• 750: 29 Gem Skin (or 1000 Bling if no 29 Gem Skin available.)

• 1000 Trophies: (Old) Gold Brawler title (Replace Record reward)

• Prestige 2: Neon Icon.

• Prestige 3: New Neon Brawler Title.

• Cannot drop to lower Prestiges once achieved.

• Prestige Trophies are added to Trophy Road (Like gaining Season Trophies above 1k).

• Still works for “Gain Trophy” Quests.

When a player already owns the reward when reaching a milestone nothing happens besides a checkmark.

• Your profile shows the sum of all Brawler Prestiges on the Home screen.

Leaderboards

• Leaderboards will also be updated to reflect your new Prestiges for both account and Brawler specific Leaderboards:

  • Account-specific Leaderboards will be counted by total Trophies + Total Prestige Trophies.

  • Brawler-specific Leaderboards will be counted by total number of Prestiges.

With the addition of Prestige, we will also retire the current Prestige mechanic and it will become a legacy stat button in your profile.
