New Currency: Bling! 

We're removing Star Points and introducing a new currency, which is more descriptive of its purpose: Bling!

• Your current Star Point Balance will be converted to Bling at a ratio of 10 to 1

• Bling has a cap of 7,000

  • Your converted Star Points can go over the cap, but you can’t collect any more Bling unless you spend the excess 

• Bling can be acquired in Brawl Pass, Power League, Trophy League, Quests & Challenges

Changes: Power League 

Rewards:

• The reward for winning 30 rounds is now a Spray instead of a Profile Picture

• The reward for winning 60 rounds remains unchanged (Skin Purchase option)

• The reward for reaching Gold I in the season remains unchanged (Profile Picture)

• Instead of a one-time Star Point reward at the end of the season based on your highest Rank, players will now:

  • Receive 250 Bling every Rank up which can be claimed immediately and only once per season

  • When a new season starts, you can collect Bling from previous Ranks retroactively

Seasonal Reset:

The bi-monthly season reset is now more significant. The rationale behind this is that people can earn a considerable amount of Star Points without effort. In other words: earnable currency should be... well, earned! A positive side effect of this is that matchmaking speed will be faster, especially at the beginning of the season.

Changes: Trophy League

Season Reset:

The season reset will once again happen every two weeks, instead of every two months.. The big change is that instead of resetting all Brawlers above 500 Trophies, we will only reset your 20 Brawlers with the highest amount of Trophies at the Season Reset time.

 We've also changed the reset table to emphasize the weight on skill over pure time investment, i.e. now you will be able to sustain your current Rank with minimal effort, even on the high end, while being able to slowly climb Ranks for Brawlers - which also should indirectly improve matchmaking because the upper end of the Trophy Range (750+) will become more competitive over time.

You will get Bling at the Trophy Season Reset. It will be based on how many Trophies your top 20 Brawlers have. The more Trophies, the more Bling!

Changes: Brawler Rank Up

Currently you can earn Star Points as one-time rewards at certain Ranks. You will now get the same amount but converted to Bling instead.

New: Catalog

Catalog is the new place to find and collect all cosmetics we have in the game! No need to wait for your desired Skin or Pin Pack to be in rotation anymore, it’s now all in one place!

You can access it through the Shop and through the Brawler Page.

Skin Changes

Skins now have rarities:

• Skin Rarities

  • Legendary = 299 Gems | Not available for Bling

  • Mythic = 199 Gems | Not available for Bling

  • Epic = 149 Gems/5,000 Bling

  • Super Rare = 79 Gems/2,750 Bling

  • Rare = 29 Gems/1,000 Bling

Brawl Pass

Rewards:

• Tier 1 of the Premium Brawl Pass now grants you 2,750 Bling instead of a Skin

• Tier 10 of the Premium Brawl Pass now grants you 1,600 Bling instead of a Pin Pack

• Tier 43 of the Premium Brawl Pass now grants you a Profile Picture instead of a Spray

• Tier 70 of the Free Brawl Pass now grants you 2,000 Coins instead of a Pin Pack

Purchase:

• The Brawl Pass is still available for 169 Gems

• The Brawl Pass Bundle including 10 Tiers is no longer available

• We're introducing a new Brawl Pass Bundle including 5 Tiers for 9.99 USD (local currencies might vary)

Economy Changes

It's been about 4-months since we've introduced the new linear progression system for Brawl Stars and we've now collected enough data to make some small adjustments and tweaks to improve the system where it falls short right now.

Improvements for New/Early Players (Below 10,000 Trophies)

We've identified that New/Early Players unlock fewer Brawlers than intended and slower than intended. We’ve received feedback that unlocking Brawlers relatively quickly and hitting a wall once the first Mythic Brawler on the Starr Road becomes available doesn’t feel great.

 To solve this, we’ll make the following adjustments: 

• We increase the amount of Credits on the Trophy Road between 1,000 and 10,000 Trophies

• We add 2 Trophy Road Milestones with 500 x Chroma Credits at 2,000 and 4,000 Trophies

• We are discounting the first Epic Brawler that players unlock by 25%, and the first Mythic Brawler by 50%, exactly like happens with Legendary Brawlers already.

Chromatic Brawlers 

We will decrease the amount of required Chroma Credits to unlock Chromatic Brawlers in the earlier stages of their release:

• Season 1: 2,500 (old: 4,500)

• Season 2: 1,250 (old: 1,500)

• Season 3: 500 (unchanged)

Poison Gas

Poison Gas now deals 20% of damage based on the Brawler max HP per seconds in the first 5 seconds of being in the gas. Then deals 5% extra damage per second for every extra second being in the gas.

This change applies to:

• Showdown

• Knockout

• Duels

Matchmaking

• Underdog

  • Currently, it could be demotivating to see the "Underdog" banner at the beginning of a match. You can't do anything about it at this point, and you are more likely to lose Trophies if you are an Underdog. So we've decided to make some changes:

  • The Underdog banner will only be shown at the end of the battle

  • Underdogs will not lose any Trophies if they lose the match, but still receive more Trophies than normal if they win

  • The requirement to trigger Underdog decreased to 150 Trophies

• Names

  • Player Names will now be visible for matches (3v3, Showdown) until 1,000 Trophies (instead of 600) and Masters (instead of Mythic) for Power League

• Blacklisting of Players in High-End Matchmaking (800+ Trophies)

  • We've decreased the "blacklisting" time period after meeting players in high-end matchmaking. This will improve matchmaking time for high-trophy players and reduce the amount of Underdog matches, ultimately making matchmaking better.

  • This change also affects Power League and Club League.

Bounty

We've added a new victory condition for Bounty. Currently, the match only ends after 120 seconds, with the team with more Stars winning. With this update you can also win by reaching 20 Stars, before your opponent.

Should no team reach 20 Stars before 120 seconds of playtime, the team with more Stars wins - as before. And if it’s a Draw, then the team holding the Blue Star wins.

This change should help decrease the total playtime for Bounty if one team turns out to be STOMPING the other.

New Modifier: Showdown Top Dog (Temporary)

We're testing a new variation of Showdown (Solo, Team) without passive health regeneration!
Active healing abilities available to some Brawlers will work normally. 

In addition, healing Hot Dogs will spawn around the map and drop from defeated Brawlers!
We hope to reward a more aggressive playstyle and discourage players from teaming. 

If you are the last one alive, you are the wiener! 

Community Slot

The results are in! Over 300,0000 of you voted on YouTube, and here's what we've got:

• Volley Brawl won the vote with 60% of all votes and will be added to the game!

• Duels were the runner-up with 18% of all votes and will stay in the game, however - we'll introduce new maps!

• Hunters received 15% of the votes and won't be added to the game.

• Basket Brawl only received 7% of all votes and will be removed from the game.

Save the Frogs Event

• Similar to the Egg event from the prior season, but you collect Frogs instead (to save them!)

• You can get Coins, Power Points, and Bling from the Frogs collected.

• Before the soft cap of Frogs collected, players will get rewards in a range as shown below

• There is a Soft Cap of 40 Frogs, meaning after 40 frogs, you will only get 1 unit of each of the rewards.

• There’s also a Hard Cap of 85 Frogs, you will no longer get any rewards even if you collect more Frogs and will get a message telling you to come back the next day.

• Event will run between 3 to 5 days.

Balance changes

SUPERCELL, WHERE ARE THE CHANGES?
We are having some competitive events right after the update, so we don’t wanna shake the meta SO MUCH - with that said, we should have more balance changes later in the update.

Buffs

Edgar

• Base HP - 2800 → 3000

Now i'm aware that this is not the rework that was actually wanted. However, until we can deal with that, here's some more love for Edgar who is underperforming slightly. This should help him utilize his life steal passive better as he won’t be defeated as fast.

Shelly

• Movement speed - 720 → 820 (normal → very fast)

So now we finally know the answer to "WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BUFF SHELLY" - It's now. Congratulations!

Nerfs

R-T

• Base HP 4100 → 3900

• Time between attacks in split form 250ms → 500ms

R-T has landed in a pretty strong spot after the meta settled a bit. His 2 most significant strengths are his durability as a long-ranged brawler and the unload speed+burst of his split form, so we're tuning down both slightly. This should help a few interactions and put him in a more balanced place. We are watching him as much as he’s watching all of us.

Rework

Meg

• Meg now starts in her Mecha Suit

• Mecha Suit has lower HP and damage 

• Mecha Suit no longer decays in HP

• Mecha Suit no longer takes reduced healing

• Mecha Suit Super charges from damage rather than over time

The rework no one asked for, but everyone wanted (or so we hope)! Meg has been performing quite well actually, especially at higher Ranks, but she's very much underused. We think many players never experience the joy of the Mecha Suit, just the fragility of her small form. Flipping the design on its head should help her feel better off from the get-go, but of course, we had to compensate by making her Mecha Suit weaker.
