BRAWL TALK: Buffies, Chaos Drops and Brawl Pass Rework!
Brawl Stars
Introducing Buffy!
The new way to buff your brawlers with powerful changes.
Dimash, check this out. Whoa, I never knew I could do it. Whoa, me neither.
Ah, I hate backflips.
Buffies won't make you backflip, but they will...
What are you doing? Film them. But they will buff your gadgets, star powers, and hyperchargers.
Finally, I can hypercharge in public without repercussions.
Each Brawler can equip three buffies with each one providing unique benefits to the Brawler. There are three types of buffies. Gadget buffies, star buffies and hyper buffies. Before we go into the buffies' design and mechanics, we need to talk about Brawler Reworks! Every Brawler that is getting a Buffy is also getting some of their abilities reworked. Since we are improving multiple abilities at the same time, it's also a good opportunity
to revise Brawler's kits if they are not working well.
So what can you expect from Buffies besides backflips? We are launching Buffies for 6 Brawlers, so let's go through them all and their new kit. First off is our girl Shelly, whose buffies also come alongside a rework to a few of her skills. Both of her gadgets are now aimable and can be used with auto-aim.
First gadget.
When buffied, it will also slow the target and slow for longer with each hit.
Second gadget.
When buffied, Shelly will become invulnerable during her dash. First star power. Her super will now burn enemies to make it easy to finish them off.
Alongside healing, also gain 20% movement speed for 3 sets.
Shelly's main attack projectile speed is now massively increased.
Colt is also getting some aimable gadgets and reworks alongside his Buffy.
His bullet is bigger and now deals more damage.

Get started freeThis gadget used to reload 2 ammo, but now shoots 2 quick shots that slow targets when hit. When buffed, these shots also steal 1 ammo from the target.
First star power.
Folk also gains a burst of movement speed every time he deals damage.
Second star power.
Deals increased damage to enemies who are far away.
Hyper charge.
Folk shoots his bullets faster, the same amount, just faster to take down enemies even quicker.
The spiky boy himself, Spike, is getting, you guessed it, some reworks alongside his buffies. First gadget, rework! His first gadget used to fire three waves of needles but can now be aimed and now fires two. When buffied, it will root a target if they are hit by three needles.
Second gadget. Rework! You can now throw your potted healing cactus. It takes longer to deploy the further away you throw it, but it makes Spike have more utility in teamfights. When buffied, this potted plant will deal damage when it's destroyed and push enemies back. First star power.
Rework!
Instead of healing while standing inside your super, Spike will now be healed for a certain percent of damage dealt by the Super. Second Star Power! No rework, but when buffed, the spikes will curve even more. Hyper Charge! A hyper-buffed spike will get two explosions from its main attack instead of one.
And it's like so getting some rewards.
Oh, totally.
First Gadget! Rework!
You can now aim a spray that goes through walls. When buffed, this will also slow enemies. Second Gadget! This will also slow enemies. Second gadget. Reworks! Now, and a spray that will push enemies back. When buffed, knock Brawlers back further and also stun them if they hit a wall.
First star power.
When buffed, reduce damage dealt by enemies you have sprayed.
Second star power.

Get started freeNow also become invincible for one second when activating your super.
Hyper charge.
A hyper buffed Ems will also poison enemies with her spray, dealing damage over
time. Frank, buffies, reworks, go! First gadget, rework! Instead of becoming immune to crowd control, Frank now fires an aimable gadget sound wave and becomes immune to crowd control. Buffied, this sound wave also destroys projectiles. Second gadget, rework! This gadget used to deal extra damage and pull enemies closer, now you can aim your gadget for a more accurate and further reaching pull. First Star Power! When buffied, this Star Power also heals Frank on defeating a brawler.
Second Star Power!
When buffied, Frank now takes 15% less damage while above 50% health. Hyper Charge! Frank's Hyper Buffy allows him to attack at his highest attack speed with all main attacks.
Mortis!
First Gadget!
Reward! Now aimable, Mortis can either attack around himself by tapping or throw his shovel in any direction.
Second gadget!
Reward!
This gadget used to increase reload speed, but now will be aimable and allow Mortis to become a creature of the night and travel to a target location. When buffed, Mortis will damage targets and heal himself when in bat form. First star Power! Star Buffed Creepy Harvest will give Mortis permanent max health until defeated.
This stacks too.
Second Star Power!
Buffed Coil Snake gives Mortis damage reduction during his longer dashes.
Hyper Charge!
After using his main attack, Mortis will deal the same damage to the same area, after a short delay. Our plan is to have Buffs for every single Brawler in the game.
Buffies will follow your Brawler into games and you'll be able to see yours and enemy buffies while brawling.

Get started freeBuffies are available through the claw machine when you reach 1000 trophies. Each pull will get you a new buff and you can only unlock buffies that you don't already have. When the machine unlocks, you'll get your first Buffy for free! Each Buffy will cost 2000 Power Points and 1000 Coins. And if you have all Buffies unlocked, you can use your Bling in the claw machine to grab special Buffy skins.
They don't affect gameplay, they are only beautiful. There are a couple of changes coming with Buffies. No more Mythic or Epic gears for the Brawlers accordingly. Also, the circle indicator below your Brawler is different now.
Get your Buffies as soon as we release our December update! One of our most popular themes we see asked for is Steampunk, so to coincide with the new Brawl Pass Vault, we went for Crime-themed Steampunk.
Stu fits right in as a Steampunk Mafia boss with the new Brawl Pass skin. Steampunk Stew is the default version of the skin. Crime Lord Stew and Ice Stout Stew are the Chroma Variation.
And now we are releasing two Brawl Pass skins per season, and Steampunk Gale is the second one. Fancy Man Gale and Dapper Gale are the Chroma Variations of this skin. If you don't fancy stew and want a swanky-looking gale instead, use your new Vault Keys to unlock the skins that you want, or get the Brawl Pass Plus to get both.
We also got a bloody picky Sam, who is unnecessarily well-dressed for the job, but he's looking good AF. Boss Grock is the one calling the shots, but also doesn't shy away from getting his hands dirty. Clockwork Kaze is the first legendary skin for Kaze, and she looks like the ultimate boss of a sci-fi movie. And since Kaze has two forms, you get two skins in one.
Speaking of robbery and crime, we will steal people's hearts with the Brawlentine season.
Rico is heartbroken this Brawlentine season. What Piper has been doing? And Breakup Rico is one of the Chromas.
Revenge Rico is the other Chroma for when he decides to move on. If you are not a Rico main, check out Brawlentine's Angelo. Is Angelo the Cupid they were always meant to be? Probably not, but you will fall in love just the same. Adonis Angelo and Snatched Angelo are the Chroma variations of the skin.
Brawlentine's Bear Shade just wants to cuddle with everyone. And Love Potion's Quick might work for you, but I wouldn't recommend drinking it.
Betty Alice, who might be a bit overdressed for her first date. And we have a bunch of seasonal things coming, so here it goes. Snowglobe Nanny for the Brawler days. Lunar Lotus Willow for the Lunar New Year. And Esports Max, which is the World Finals inspired skin of the year.
Then he's peeing in the pool again.
Pierce, take him out.
Pierce is a legendary sniper and finally the last member of the Velociraptors trio. When Buzz decides there has been too much pee in the pool, he calls in Pierce to clean up.
Pierce has a new unique trait. He will leave a bullet shell every time he hits his main attack and will only reload by picking up a shell or by spending all of his ammo. When picking up a shell, Pierce will also automatically fire an instant free shot towards the nearest enemy, which pierces through environments. Get it? Like his name. The last shot in his gun deals extra damage, so sometimes it's handy to run around with only one bullet on purpose.
His super will target an area and mark enemies, then fire homing bullets at them. Each hit will drop a shell, which Pierce can then pick up to fire even more shots. Sorry Colt, looks like Pierce is the new bullet school.
Pierce's gadgets and star powers can make him a better support, slowing enemies or absorbing damage. Pierce is the first legendary Brawler since we released the new Brawler release event, so expect some changes. Who turned on the lights? Hold my hand! Marcio? That's not your hand.
I know. Hey guys!

Get started freeThis is horrible! Glover is our January brawler, heading out of the darkness. Although brawlers wish he didn't have so much light.
A marine biologist working at Star Park's aquarium, Glover is obsessed with sea life and wants to introduce it to as many people as possible. Although he might seem a bit creepy, he's actually a nice guy. We think? He's a brand new healer who uses his Globeme to continuously heal teammates, but can also wield it as a weapon to continuously damage enemies.
Globert will continue to heal or deal damage as long as his basic attack is linked.
For his super, Glober reveals his face, scaring away enemies and dealing damage. Oh yeah! Globa's gadgets and star powers allow him to become an even more effective healer, providing support to teammates in sticky situations. Globa will be released from the Depths in January.
More new stuff! New Brawl Pass update!
Okay, so the Brawl Pass is getting a price increase.
3D sale! 3D sale!
But it's getting a major buff and increasing in value Where's that new Brawl Pass vault? Yeah man, how long does it take to crack that brand new Brawl Pass vault?
Chill man, I almost got it There's a lot of stuff in this new Brawl Pass vault
I have a hairdresser appointment in one hour
Right there
67? I'm too old to understand this meme. The Brawl Pass is getting some big changes. Let's go through the biggest. The Vault. Brawl Passes will now contain Vault Keys. Each month there will be 4 keys available to collect,
each unlocking a different part of the Vault. Resource Keys. These let you unlock extra coins, power points or blinks. Brawler Keys. They let you unlock Brawlers! Different rarities will require different Vault Key amounts. Skin Keys! These let you unlock the newest Brawl Pass skins or skins from previous Brawl Passes.
Buffy Keys! These unlock Buffies! The cool part? Vault Keys can be saved up across seasons, so you can save up for stuff you really want. Like another ultra-legendary Brawler!
We made these changes to Brawl Pass that allow you to have more choice over your unlocks. If you don't like the current options, you can still get value from the pass by saving up your Vault Keys.
We buffed the Free Pass! We added 10 new reward milestones. You can see the whole breakdown of the buffs in our previous blog post or in content creator videos. The 10 reward will now give you random rewards instead of star drops. This should make it a bit more exciting to gain XP after you've completed your path.
We made the Free Pass even better! Alongside 10 new rewards and a Vault Key, it also includes the new Star Drop type, Chaos Drops.
More, more new stuff! New Chaos Drops!
