New: Hypercharge

Hypercharge is a new item unlocked at Power Level 11 that makes a Brawler become stronger for a short period of time while also turning their Super into a more powerful version of itself.

Hypercharge charges up in the same way that a normal Super does but at a slower rate. Then, once your Hypercharge is up, you only have to press the new Hypercharge button, and it’ll activate for your Brawler, engulfing them in flames and lightning!

The first Brawlers to receive their Hypercharge are Shelly, Colt, Bull, Spike, Jacky and Pearl, with each of them being released at a different time throughout the weeks after the update goes live.

Here’s what Hypercharges will do for each Brawler:

  • Shelly: Double Barrel

    • Shelly's Super is 33% larger

    • Speed +25%, Damage +25%, +15% Shield

  • Colt: Dual Wielding

    • Colt's Super is 120% wider

    • Speed +30%, Damage +30%, +10% Shield

  • Spike: Blooming Season

    • Spike's Super has a 20% larger area

    • Speed +30%, Damage +20%, +20% Shield

  • Bull: Jaws of Steel

    • Bull takes 80% less damage while using his Super

    • Speed +25%, Damage +10%, +30% Shield

  • Jacky: Seismic Event

    • Jacky's Super slows down nearby enemies for 1.5 seconds

    • Speed +25%, Damage +25%, +15% Shield

  • Pearl: Pyrolytic

    • Pearl's Super leaves a burning area on the ground for few seconds after use

    • Speed +30%, Damage +20%, +20% Shield


Each Hypercharge will be available first in the Shop as a part of the new Collectors Pack offers that can be purchased for Gems or Coins, and after a two-week period, they will become available in the Brawler’s profile screen to purchase with Coins.

You can also try out Hypercharges in the Hypercharge Unleashed event and even get Shelly’s Hypercharge for FREE as a Special quest reward! (more info on this event further below.)
