Release Notes August 2026

Brawler Blast

Starr Road has been reworked into Brawler Blast, a new shooting gallery-style unlocking experience where Credits progress you toward your next new Brawler (with potential upgrades)! Rarity costs are unchanged, and Rare and Super Rare Brawlers that used to come from Trophy Road now come from Brawler Blast.


When you earn enough Credits, they immediately count toward the next rarity of Brawler in Brawler Blast. 


There’s a set order of rarity unlocks. Check the Brawler Blast section of the Brawler Collection to see which rarity you’re unlocking next.

  • Rare: 160 Credits

  • Super Rare: 430 Credits

  • Epic: 925 Credits

  • Mythic: 1900 Credits

  • Legendary: 3800 Credits

  • Ultra: 5500 Credits


During a Brawler Blast opening, up to 10 unowned Brawlers of the current rarity fill a shooting gallery. You fire shots to knock targets down, and the last Brawler standing is the one you unlock!  If fewer than 10 unowned Brawlers are available in that rarity, the remaining spots become empty targets. 


While targets are being knocked down, there’s a chance that 1-4 Gem Fragments will be revealed. After you receive your new Brawler, those Gem Fragments turn into progression for that Brawler.

Odds for total Gem Fragments found per Brawler Blast opening:

  • 1 Gem Fragment: 12.02%

  • 2 Gem Fragments: 14.03%

  • 3 Gem Fragments: 16.03%

  • 4 Gem Fragments: 20.04%

  • 5 Gem Fragments: 14.03%

  • 6 Gem Fragments: 10.02%

  • 7 Gem Fragments: 6.01%

  • 8 Gem Fragments: 2.20%

  • 9 Gem Fragments: 1.80%

  • 10 Gem Fragments: 1.00%

  • 11 Gem Fragments: 0.80%

  • 12 Gem Fragments: 0.60%

  • 13 Gem Fragments: 0.40%

  • 14 Gem Fragments: 0.20%

  • 15 Gem Fragments: 0.20%

  • 16 Gem Fragments: 0.20%

  • 17 Gem Fragments: 0.40%

How Gem Fragments convert into progression for your new Brawler:

  • 1 Gem Fragment: +1 Power Level

  • 2 Gem Fragments: +2 Power Levels, a random Gadget, or a random Super Rare Gear

  • 3 Gem Fragments: +3 Power Levels or a random Star Power

  • 4 Gem Fragments: +4 Power Levels, a Hypercharge, or a random Buffie

Opening limits:

  • Limit 1 Gadget per opening

  • Limit 1 Gear per opening

  • Limit 1 Star Power per opening

  • Limit 1 Hypercharge per opening

  • Limit 1 Buffie per opening

  • Limit +10 Power Levels per opening

  • A Brawler cannot receive a Hypercharge or Buffies until they have been fully released (i.e. not in early access)

  • You can receive Gears, Star Powers, Gadgets, Hypercharges, and Buffies for a new Brawler before they are at the Power Level required to use those abilities

  • Brawler Blast is the only source of random Gears

There are always 10 targets during a Brawler Blast opening. If more than 10 unowned Brawlers exist in that rarity, 10 random Brawlers are selected as targets. If fewer than 10 unowned Brawlers exist, some targets will be blank. All blank targets are eliminated before Brawler targets, and every target has the same chance to drop Gem Fragments.

There’s also a chance you’ll get to choose which new Brawler you receive!

  • Chance to get a choice: 50%

  • Choice of 2 Brawlers: 57.14%

  • Choice of 3 Brawlers: 28.57%

  • Choice of 4 Brawlers: 14.29%

  • If only 1 unowned Brawler remains in that rarity, a choice cannot be offered

The Starr Road and Fame buttons have been removed from the Home screen. Brawler Blast and Fame now live in the Brawler Collection. Brawler Blast info is to the left of your collection, and Fame is to the right. When a Brawler Release Event is active, it gets its own button on the Home screen.

Brawler Collection

The Brawler List has been rebuilt! It now scrolls horizontally to match the rest of the game, with smaller Brawler cards so more of your roster is visible at once. Plus the much-requested Search feature has now been added!

Duolingo Event

It’s Back 2 School season and Brawl Stars and Duolingo are about to collide!

When Brawlers stumble into Duo's classroom, learning quickly turns into chaos. Lessons spiral into battles, rivalries spill beyond the classroom walls, and our two iconic green mascots face off as Duo and Spike fight for the attention of players everywhere.

Duo takes over Brawl Stars for 2 weeks through a brand-new Boss Fight, Community Event, themed PSIs, daily rewards, and a full event hub. As the event unfolds, players will work together to defeat increasingly powerful versions of Duo while participating in community-wide challenges and earning exclusive collaboration rewards.

Brawl-O-Ween Event

This year’s Brawl-O-Ween will have a month-long event experienced in multiple phases, all following a story connected to Gus. Unlock the story as the month goes on through, puzzles, community choices, a Creator-led Community experience, and a finale that ties it all together.

Classic Brawl-O-Ween bosses return, a new gacha coffin is coming, and more spooky experiences are coming!

That’s all we’re saying for now. Stay tuned!

Lobby Companion (Loony)

Meet Loony, Gus’s balloon buddy! Loony hangs out on the Home screen during the Brawl-O-Ween event, reacts to your matches and mischief, and delivers extra daily win rewards. 


You can poke, drag, shake, squeeze, and throw Loony. But be gentle, he has feelings you know!

Loony also chats in speech bubbles based on your interactions and game events. Wins, losses, Trophy milestones, unlocks, and more. You can turn this off with the Loony Dialogue toggle in Settings, which tapes Loony’s mouth shut!

Loony's Loot

Each daily win sends a reward flying into Loony, filling it up. Progress resets every day, just like Daily Wins.

  • Maximum of 6 wins per day

  • Rewards are Starr Drops or Chaos Drops, with anywhere from 0 to 2 Starr Drops per day

  • You can claim only after completing all 6 daily wins

  • Press and hold Loony to pop it open and claim. A pulsing animation shows when rewards are ready

  • If you finish all 6 daily wins but forget to claim that day, your rewards are granted automatically the next day

NEW Brawlers

Cosmo - Mythic - Controller

Cosmo is the lead astronomer at Starr Park's Observatory. Besides teaching visitors about the universe, he is constantly gazing at the stars searching for something...

  • Trait: None.

  • Attack (ORBIT): Cosmo fires 3 projectiles that orbit in a circle. The projectiles get further apart as they travel, while growing in size and damage.

  • Super (GRAVITATIONAL PULL): Cosmo fires a positive magnet that attaches to an enemy. Teammates' projectiles then gain extreme homing toward the target.

  • Gadget 1 (PLANETARY PUSHBACK): Cosmo knocks enemies back from the targeted area.

  • Gadget 2 (TELESCOPE TRAP): Cosmo uses his telescope to reveal an area for 6 seconds, including invisible enemies. Enemy Brawlers inside this area cannot use movement abilities (dashes, jumps, teleports, and more).

  • Star Power 1 (PRECESSION): Increases the orbit speed of Cosmo's main attack by 25%.

  • Star Power 2 (AMMO ATTRACTOR): Hitting an enemy with Cosmo's Super reloads 2 ammo.

  • Prestige 1 Title: Out of this World

  • Prestige 3 Title: Stargazer

Vince - Mythic - Damage Dealer

Vince has been tending to both the espresso machine and his many-legged friends for a while now, much to his customers' dismay. He walks slowly around his Creepy Café, careful not to step on any of his beloved bugs.

  • Trait: Caterpillars periodically spawn near Vince. Hitting them with a coffee attack or walking over them turns them into moths for Vince’s collection. Vince loses 50% of his collection when defeated.

  • Attack (ESPRESSO SHOT): Vince serves up a fresh cup of coffee, dealing damage.

  • Super (BARISTA BARRAGE): Shoots a single projectile, inflicting a Caterpillar debuff. Main Attacks deal bonus damage when hitting an opponent with a Caterpillar debuff.

  • Gadget 1 (HOT COFFEE): Vince throws an explosive cappuccino, dealing area damage.

  • Gadget 2 (METAMOTHOSIS): Vince turns all nearby Caterpillars into Moths, gaining an additional Moth for each collected.

  • Star Power 1 (COME TO PAPA): Nearby Caterpillars crawl toward Vince.

  • Star Power 2 (BUG BANDAGE): Turning a Caterpillar into a Moth heals Vince for 1200.

  • Prestige 1 Title: Creepy

  • Prestige 3 Title: Buggin' Out

NEW Hypercharges

Nori and Wendy are getting brand-new Hypercharges!

  • Nori (MASTER FISHERMAN): When Nori jumps into the water, he pulls all enemies in before dealing area damage!

  • Wendy (GREEN ENERGY): Increases Shield Generator health and absorbs 90% of damage taken by Wendy or her teammates. 

NEW Buffies

Poco

Poco is one of the first Brawlers players see, and the main “support” you think of when you’re learning the game. As such we wanted to enhance his support abilities while keeping his kit simple and easy to understand. We’re giving his main attack a smaller heal baseline so that all players have access to his healing even as they progress. In addition with his Buffies and the reworks he’ll have more space control, some new pieces of utility against enemies and buffing allies.

  • Gadget 1: Tuning Fork (Rework)

    • Poco heals all nearby allies for 400 health 3 times over 6 seconds. This is a pulse heal, not a lasting area effect.

    • Buffied: Healing an ally also grants them 25% reload speed for 2 seconds.

  • Gadget 2: Protective Tunes (Rework)

    • Poco creates a large area lasting 4 seconds that removes all adverse effects and grants immunity to them while inside.

    • Buffied: Protective Tunes area is 20% larger and lasts 2 seconds longer.

  • Star Power 1: Da Capo! (Rework)

    • Power Chord now always heals allies for 300 health. This Star Power increases that healing by 220.

    • Buffied: When hitting allies at full health, Power Chord grants them 10% Super Charge Rate for 3 seconds.

  • Star Power 2: Screeching Solo

    • Poco's Super also hits enemies, dealing 760 damage.

    • Buffied: Enemies hit by Encore are Silenced for 0.5 seconds.

  • Hypercharge: Medics Melody

    • Encore now overheals, adding a decaying shield for the amount overhealed. The shield lasts 5 seconds.

    • Buffied: Projectiles from Power Chord spawn in a 180° arc while Hypercharge is active.

El Primo

Similar to Poco, Primo is the first “Tank” players interact with. As such we want to keep him simple and easy to understand while still giving him more flair and agency as a tank. His updated Gadgets will help him play more aggressively by becoming even tankier or having some extra mobility. In addition he’ll be lighting up Brawlers more often, have more survivability, and punch bigger and better than ever!

  • Gadget 1: Suplex Supplement (Rework)

    • El Primo dashes, grabbing the first Brawler hit and suplexing them behind him.

    • Buffied: El Primo slams the enemy into the ground, dealing 800 damage in an area when they land.

  • Gadget 2: Asteroid Belt (Rework)

    • El Primo flexes and destroys any incoming projectiles for 2 seconds.

    • Buffied: Any projectiles destroyed also charge El Primo's Super.

  • Star Power 1: El Fuego

    • Enemies caught in El Primo's Super burn for 900 damage over 4 seconds.

    • Buffied: Punching an enemy on fire extends the burn duration by 1.5 seconds.

  • Star Power 2: Meteor Rush

    • El Primo gains a 25% speed boost for 4 seconds after using his Super.

    • Buffied: The speed boost also grants a 30% shield.

  • Hypercharge: Gravity Leap

    • Leaping high, El Primo drops an Intergalactic Elbow that pulls enemies to the epicenter.

    • Buffied: El Primo's punches are 20% larger and light enemies on fire, dealing 400 damage over 2 seconds.

Amber

Amber has some strong uses when you need consistent damage in Modes like Heist, but as a controller she is falling a bit short as her oil is often hard to actually use as a space control tool. For her updates/Buffies this was our main focus, giving her more presence on the map and more opportunity to use her oil for taking space or buffing herself.

  • Gadget 1: Fire Starters (Rework)

    • Amber summons an Oil Barrel with 3500 health, spilling oil when destroyed.

    • Buffied: Amber can deploy 2 barrels.

  • Gadget 2: Dancing Flames

    • Amber creates 3 orbiting flames around her for 5 seconds, dealing 945 damage on hit.

    • Buffied: Amber coats herself in flames, gaining 20% movement speed and dealing 400 damage to enemies she touches.

  • Star Power 1: Wild Flames (Rework)

    • Amber's Fire Fluid becomes sticky, attaching to Brawlers and leaving a trail of oil while they move.

    • Buffied: Amber gains 15% increased movement speed when near fire or Fire Fluid.

  • Star Power 2: Scorching Siphon (Rework)

    • Amber reloads ammo whenever an enemy takes fire damage from burning oil (not from her main attack).

    • Buffied: Duration of fire status is increased by 1 second.

  • Hypercharge: Oil Spill

    • Super's oil spill area is increased. Oil keeps burning for 3 seconds after being lit on fire.

    • Buffied: Main attack projectiles also apply fire status like lit petrol.

  • When Amber uses Super, it will not remove her old Super oil.

Gus

Gus is a unique support in how much he also functions as a marksman. We love that about him and didn’t want to change it, but felt that he was lacking in his support abilities. For his updates we’re giving him more tools to keep his team alive and healthy, and letting him have more agency on if his Spirits are used for offense or defense.

  • Gadget 1: Kooky Popper

    • Explode all uncollected spirits, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

    • Buffied: Enemies hit lose 1 ammo.

  • Gadget 2: Knockback Spirit (Rework)

    • Gus throws a spirit knocking back enemies. It turns into a healing spirit at the end of its trajectory.

    • Buffied: Spawns a spirit for each Brawler hit.

  • Star Power 1: Health Bonanza

    • Healing gained from spirits is increased by 100%.

    • Buffied: Spirits slowly move toward the nearest ally.

  • Star Power 2: Spirit Animal

    • Spooky increases the damage of a teammate by 25% for 5 seconds.

    • Buffied: Allies also gain 15% increased movement speed for 5 seconds.

  • Hypercharge: Spooky Pop

    • No changes to the Hyper Super.

    • Buffied: Balloons have increased size and pierce walls.

Chuck

Chuck needed a decent facelift to help him fit in more Modes than just Heist! With the reworks to his Super and main attack, Chuck should have a much shorter setup phase, more consistent ability to trade and fight without his Super, and more mobility after he’s set up at the cost of higher single instances of damage. With his Buffies, we’re giving his Poles more utility and threat when placing them, as well as letting him choose if he wants to empower the Poles or the dash with Gadgets and Star Powers.

  • Chuck has 4 Super charges (4 Poles max by default)

  • Using a Pole or a dash expends one charge

  • Chuck no longer charges Super automatically

  • Chuck starts a match with a full Super

  • Chuck keeps his Super on respawn if it was full

  • Chuck does not respawn with a full Super if he already used it

  • Gadget 1: Rerouting (Rework)

    • Chuck removes the nearest Post and recharges 50% of his Super.

    • Buffied: Gains a 20% Damage Reduction Shield for 5 seconds when removing a pole.

  • Gadget 2: Ghost Train (Rework)

    • Chuck can go through walls with his Super for 8 seconds.

    • Buffied: Leaves a trail of fire on the next Super, dealing 1200 damage, which burns for 3 seconds.

  • Star Power 1: Pit Stop (Rework)

    • Placing a Pole slow 20%.

    • Buffied: Placing a Pole leaves an area dealing 200 damage over 4 seconds.

  • Star Power 2: Tickets Please!

    • Dashing through enemies with his Super steals 33% of their ammo.

    • Buffied: Super Dash speed is increased by 25%.

  • Hypercharge: Full Steam Ahead! (Rework)

    • Each Pole Chuck hits during Super does 1600 damage in an area.

    • Buffied: Chuck shoots 3 clouds of smoke in a cone with his main attack.

Shade

Shade is a fairly powerful and modern Brawler. With his updates, we felt it was most important to balance out the power of his Gadgets and Star Powers so that they're all desirable. Expect more of the same with some new tools and flair with Shade’s update!

  • Gadget 1: Longarms

    • The next main attack has 50% longer range.

    • Buffied: Enemies hit are pulled to the center of the hug.

  • Gadget 2: Jump Scare (Rework)

    • Shade jumps a short distance, fearing enemies for 0.5 seconds in an area when landing.

    • Buffied: Gain a 1000 health shield when jumping.

  • Star Power 1: Spooky Speedster

    • Hitting opponents with the center of Shade's main attack gives a short movement speed boost.

    • Buffied: Crits also reduce Gadget cooldown by 15% of current cooldown.

  • Star Power 2: Hardened Hoodie

    • Shade gets 30% damage reduction while in Incorporeal Form.

    • Buffied: Increase Super duration by 2 seconds.

  • Hypercharge: The Frightener (Rework)

    • Shade heals for 1000 while inside a wall.

    • Buffied: The center of Shade's hugs has its damage and size increased by 50%.

Maps, Game Modes, Environments & Rotation Changes

Hide & Seek Game Mode

One Seeker. Three Hiders. The Seeker has to eliminate all the Hiders (and stay alive) before time runs out in order to win!

  • The match consists of 4 rounds

  • Players take turns being the Seeker, so everyone gets a chance to play the role.

  • Each round lasts 45 seconds

The Seeker receives significant stat boosts: movement speed, damage, health & size... But, there's a catch! The Seeker cannot regenerate health!

Win Conditions

  • Seeker Victory: Eliminating all Hiders before time runs out. The Seeker receives significant boosts to movement speed, damage, health, and size, but cannot regenerate health.

  • Hider Victory: At least one Hider remains alive when the timer expires.

  • Scoring: The Seeker gains 3 points for winning. Hiders gain 1 point for surviving.


Hide & Seek is played with the Prop Hunt modifier.

Prop Hunt (Modifier)

Stop moving and you blend into the map! Prop Hunt can appear across modes, and it’s a must-play twist for Hide & Seek!

When you stop, you turn into a map element, a random wall or decoration from the map theme (but not tiles or grass). You’re more likely to become something close to you so you can blend in. Attack and you’ll be revealed, but after a brief moment of inactivity, you can change into another prop!

  • Works especially well in Showdown, and can also appear in Gem Grab, Knockout, and Bounty

  • This modifier will be available in Friendly Rooms as well!

Loaded Walls (Modifier)

When this modifier is active, breaking walls has a chance to spawn the following items:

  • Bombs

  • Bowling balls

  • Shuriken

  • Bumper cars

Friendly Fire (Modifier)

Watch your aim! Any source of damage that can hurt enemies can also damage teammates while this modifier is active.
