But for all of this, you’ll have to progress through the reward track by collecting Rails. So how do you get Rails?

  • Daily wins, in place of the Daily Starr Drops

  • A new set of Quests each week!

  • The MEGA TRAIN Club event

  • Contests

  • Content Creator Bounties (keep an eye out for your favorite creators for this)

    • Streetwear Emz, Hypebeast Emz and Techwear Emz  (Brawl Pass & Brawl Pass Plus Skins)

    • Graffiti Leon (Club Event Skin)

    • Graffiti Mina (part of Mina’s release Box)

  • Main Attack: CAPOEIRA COMBO

New Brawler Release Events

We’re changing how Brawlers are released! Now you can participate in a 10-day event where you have the chance to earn the new Brawler for free!

  • 3 Tickets are given daily that you can use to participate in the event

  • Tickets do not stack, so you need to use them daily, and they will refill the next day

    • If you team up with friends, all players in that team need to have a Ticket to play

  • Tickets allow you to participate in matches, where you play random game modes featuring a pick phase similar to Mega Pig. The new Brawler will also be available to pick for free at max power level!

  • Game modes:

    • Mina – Brawl Ball, Wipeout, Gem Grab

    • Ziggy – Hotzone, Knockout, Bounty

  • For every 2 wins (in the case of Mythic Brawlers, might change for other rarities), you get a special Brawler-themed Box that can contain the new Brawler, special cosmetics, progression and currencies, including Gems!

  • After opening a certain number of Boxes (14 for Mina & Ziggy), you’re guaranteed to get the new Brawler

    • If you already got the Brawler by luck from the Boxes before that, opening 14 boxes will give you a special Mythic Skin instead!

    • Any new Skins for the new Brawler that you get from Boxes before owning that Brawler will go to the Skin bank

  • Boxes are also sold in the Shop, and also count towards the total required boxes for the free Brawler 

  • There will be a Mirror Match Showdown event where everyone plays as the new Brawler with max level to get the hang of things

  • After the event ends, the new Brawler goes to Starr Road before the Brawl Pass season ends, so any saved Credits can go to the new Brawler if you didn’t get it from the event
