Summary
Highlights
Brawl Stars is collaborating with Stranger Things, introducing new skins like Eleven Lumi, Dustin Nita (with her Demogorgon pet), Hopper Bull, Eddie Draco, Will Gus, and Scoops Ahoy Berry. Each character comes with unique abilities and chromas.
A new 'roguelite' game mode called Upside Showdown is introduced. Players brawl through five stages, choosing new powers (defensive, buffs, offense) at the start of each stage to create unique builds. The top four players in each free-for-all Showdown advance, aiming for five wins to maximize rewards including Trophies and 'Waffles'.
Waffles, Eleven's favorite food, are a new in-game currency that can be traded in the Event Shop for Card Packs and unique ability cards for certain Brawlers. Waffles can be earned from Upside Showdown, Boss Fight, Quests, Daily Wins, and Freebie chains.
A new Boss Fight mode allows players to team up against Vecna, Demogorgon, and Spirit Frank for rewards and Waffles. New Mecha skins are also introduced for Mandy, Piper, and Jesse, along with Gym Rat skins (Pump It Melody, Workout Charlie, Gym Rat Mr. P) and a new Pro Pass Skin, Tiger Leon, which evolves into Shadow Tiger Leon. Archer Queen Penny is available in Supercell ID Rewards.
Meet Gigi, a new Mythic assassin Brawler. She is an abandoned ballerina doll who charges her Super by dodging enemy projectiles. Her main attack, Pirouette Power-up, spins and damages enemies while providing extra movement speed. Her Super allows her to teleport to a target area and then back to her starting spot, dealing damage upon leaving. Gigi can be unlocked through her Brawler Release Event.
Hypercharges are being rebalanced to provide consistent stat bonuses across all Brawlers: +5% attack, +5% defense, and +20% movement speed, to allow for better counterplay. New Hypercharges are introduced for Pam (Mama's Love), Alli (Swamp Snacking), Mina (Triplecane), and Ziggy (The Grand Vortex).
Mega Quests are new chained quests with variable rewards and Brawl Pass XP, including standard Mega Quests and 'Omega Quests' with double rewards. Daily Rewards are standardized to six wins for six random rewards (Starr Drops, Hypercharged Starr Drops, etc.). XP doublers now apply to Quest XP, and 'Team Up' lists will show recently successful teammates. New Trio modes (Wipeout and Gem Grab) will feature four teams of three players.
