  • Star Point rewards at a season's end are now based on reaching certain Trophy milestones with a Brawler*

  • Trophies are now reset to a fixed value based on where the Brawler was at the end of the season

  • The goal with this change is to make Star Points more accessible to more players and to further promote playing multiple different Brawlers during the season
