    Brawl Stars 2025 Update Reveals New Brawlers Alli and Trunk, Major Starr Park Overhaul Incoming
    Jun 29 2025
    As of late June 2025, Brawl Stars has been buzzing with exciting updates and leaks. Content creators have hinted at significant balance changes for the game, with reports suggesting that 14 Brawlers will undergo adjustments. These changes include nerfs to several popular Brawlers. For instance, Hank's shield gadget cooldown is being increased from 15 to 18 seconds, and Jacky's health is being reduced from 5000 to 4800[1].

    In addition to balance changes, Supercell recently released a new Brawl Talk, which detailed several major updates for the game. One of the most anticipated changes is the complete overhaul of Trophy Road, now rebranded as Starr Park. This update also introduces a new achievement system called Records, replacing the old Masteries system[3][4].

    The June 2025 Brawl Talk also confirmed the addition of two new Brawlers: Alli and Trunk. Alli, a Mythic Assassin, specializes in quickly finishing off low-health enemies. Her abilities include a quick strike attack and a super that grants stealth and boosts damage based on enemy HP. Alli will join the game in July, along with a themed skin. Trunk, an Epic Tank, is controlled by ants and can scatter them to boost his speed and attack rate. He will arrive in August with his own themed skin[3][4].

    Furthermore, the update includes nine new Hypercharges, which are powerful abilities that can significantly impact gameplay. New game modes and themed events are also part of this extensive update, promising to enhance the overall player experience. The update is slated to roll out starting from July, with new content being gradually introduced through August[3][4].

    The balance changes and new content are expected to shift the meta of the game, potentially altering which Brawlers are considered top-tier. As the game continues to evolve, listeners can expect more updates and adjustments to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging[5].

  • Brawl Stars Summer 2025 Update Brings New Brawlers, Trophy Road Revamp, and Exciting Gameplay Changes

    Brawl Stars Summer 2025 Update Brings New Brawlers, Trophy Road Revamp, and Exciting Gameplay Changes
    Jun 27 2025
    Listeners, here is the latest news on Brawl Stars as of June 27, 2025. The game has just received a major summer 2025 update, packed with fresh content and gameplay changes that are set to redefine the experience for both new and veteran players alike.

    The update’s centerpiece is a complete rework of Trophy Road, inspired by Starr Park itself. Instead of the old linear progression, players now travel through a theme park-themed path where they can unlock a variety of rewards. This overhaul introduces a new achievement system called Records, which replaces the previous Masteries system, offering players unique ways to document and celebrate their in-game achievements as they journey through the reimagined Trophy Road[1][2][5].

    Two new Brawlers have joined the roster. The first is Alli, a Mythic Assassin from the Love Swamp. Alli excels at finishing off weakened opponents and gets faster as enemy health drops. Her main attack, Swamp Swipe, allows her to launch surprise attacks, while her Super, Stalker, grants stealth and boosts damage based on how healthy the target is. Alli debuts in July with a themed Hunter-Gatherer Alli skin[5].

    The second new Brawler is Trunk, an Epic Tank controlled by ants. Trunk’s main attack features a damaging spin that’s more powerful at the outer edges, and as he spins, he tosses out ants. His Super is a charging dash that leaves behind an ant trail, increasing speed and reducing enemy damage when they encounter his ants. Trunk is expected in August, alongside his Swimming Trunk skin[5].

    The update also introduces several new game modes, seasonal Starr Park-themed events, and nine new powerful Hypercharge abilities for selected Brawlers. A range of new skins has arrived, including Biker Buster, Jackpot Griff, Eggsplosion Tick, Phantom Poco, and a special 29-Gem Chroma skin for Kit during World Cat Day celebrations[2].

    Balance changes have shake up the meta: Bull now has a variable super range and a stun gadget, Doug’s Super charges from healing and homes in on allies, Draco now shows the duration of his Super, and several other Brawlers have received buffs or nerfs. Notably, Lily is highlighted as one of the best assassin choices for her Vanish Gadget and explosive damage potential, while fighters like Rosa, Fang, and Charlie received damage buffs, and Chester and Juju saw reductions in their Super charge rates[4].

    Starting July 17 and continuing through August, listeners can expect a vibrant schedule of events and ongoing content drops. Supercell is clearly committed to keeping Brawl Stars fresh and exciting, and the community is set for a summer of surprises, competition, and discovery[2][5].

These new fighters will join alongside returning favorites in the revamped progression track. The update also delivers nine new Hypercharge abilities, providing superpowered options for various brawlers and adding another layer of strategy and excitement to the gameplay[2].

These skins expand customization and celebrate ongoing community events and real-world holidays[2].

    For those interested in gameplay tweaks, several balance adjustments have rolled out. Bull now features a variable Super range and a gadget that stuns opponents, increasing tactical depth for aggressive players. Doug’s Super not only charges through healing but also homes in on allies, making teamwork and positioning more critical. Another brawler, Draco, now displays the duration of his Super. These and other adjustments aim to keep the game’s meta fresh and competitive for players seeking both casual and ranked play[2][4].

    The June 2025 balance patch also shifted the rankings of top-performing Brawlers. Notably, assassin Lily remains a highly effective pick, leveraging her Vanish gadget and explosive burst damage to dominate vulnerable targets. Rosa, Fang, and Charlie received buffs that enhance their damage output, while Chester and Juju saw reductions in their Super charge rate, shaking up competitive strategies and preferred picks[4].

    Listeners should mark July 17 as the beginning of a summer brimming with new modes, features, and events, all designed to keep Brawl Stars feeling lively and engaging throughout August and beyond. The development team at Supercell continues to innovate, ensuring that with every major patch, both the competitive and casual playerbase have new reasons to come back and play[1][2][3].

    In summary, this is one of the most ambitious updates in Brawl Stars’ history: a Starr Park-themed Trophy Road, new fighters, fresh Hypercharges, novel game modes, and balance tweaks that reshape the competitive hierarchy. There’s never been a better moment to dive into Brawl Stars or return for a fresh experience.

    Jun 22 2025
    Listeners, here’s the latest news and updates on Brawl Stars as of June 22, 2025. The game continues to evolve with exciting developments, beginning with the recent collaboration between Brawl Stars and Matcherino. This partnership is ushering in a new era of competitive play, offering more incentives and additional ways for players to compete. Two more Pins have also been introduced as a part of these changes, giving dedicated fans even more collectibles to aim for in their matches. This news came from Supercell’s official announcement on June 16, underscoring their ongoing efforts to keep the competitive scene vibrant and rewarding for everyone involved[1].

    A major update, “The Battle for Katana Kingdom,” went live on June 12. This release brought significant balance changes and content expansion. Notably, some Brawlers received nerfs, with Kenji’s Hypercharge charge rate now set at 35. Maintenance updates in May addressed several bugs, including issues with data display for top contributors and malfunctioning Club screen counters. Mechanical fixes ensured rewards were delivered properly, and compensation was given to players, including a Sushi item in the Shop and 25 Gems, along with Cursed Kenji and Oni Kenji Skins for those affected by previous glitches[3].

    A highlight from the most recent update is the introduction of Kaze, the game’s first Ultra Legendary Brawler. Kaze offers innovative gameplay possibilities with his piercing projectile main attack, which varies depending on his mode. In Work Mode, his attacks give speed boosts to teammates, while in Party Mode, they heal teammates through damaging projectiles. Other major content includes a new Brawl MOBA mode, Wasabi Powers for unique matchups, and the introduction of Jae-yong, known as the Karaoke King, bringing fresh dynamics to team play and strategy[3].

    On the competitive front, Brawl Stars Championship 2025 continues to capture global attention.

  • Brawl Stars June 2025 Update: Hypercharge Event, Balance Changes, and Competitive Gameplay Improvements

    Brawl Stars June 2025 Update: Hypercharge Event, Balance Changes, and Competitive Gameplay Improvements
    Jun 20 2025
    Listeners, here's the latest on Brawl Stars as of June 20, 2025. The game continues to see regular updates and events, keeping the player community engaged with fresh content and balance changes. A significant development this week is the return of the Hypercharge Unleashed event, which started on June 19 and runs until June 23. During this four-day event, players have the opportunity to earn free Hypercharges, a valuable in-game upgrade that typically costs 5000 Coins. To claim a free Hypercharge, participants must win 25 matches using one of eight random Brawlers in the Solo Showdown mode. This event is especially beneficial for free-to-play listeners, providing a chance to unlock power-ups that might otherwise be difficult to obtain without spending coins[4].

    On the competitive and gameplay front, the June 12 balance update, officially called "The Battle for Katana Kingdom," introduced significant changes. Several popular Brawlers received notable nerfs to their abilities. Kenji, in particular, now has a slower Hypercharge gain and no longer knocks up enemies. Janet's damage boost at level-up was nearly halved, while both Ash and Jacky saw reductions in their health and damage progressions. Other Brawlers like Jae-yong and Clancy also received downgrades, with Clancy losing passive synergy with robots and Jae-yong experiencing less health and a lower reload speed increase.

    Not all changes were nerfs. Some underused Brawlers, such as Mortis and Tick, received buffs intended to improve their competitiveness. In addition to Brawler-specific tweaks, the update reworked aspects of Brawl Arena gameplay, including adjustments to XP distribution, tower behavior, and base damage. These modifications are designed to foster a more strategic and balanced experience for all players[2][5].

    Listeners should also be aware of a new partnership phase between Matcherino and Brawl Stars announced this week, offering enhanced incentives and more ways to compete in tournaments. This collaboration aims to provide deeper engagement opportunities, including more reward options for skill-based play, as well as additional Pins for player customization[1].

    With these frequent updates, Brawl Stars is maintaining a dynamic meta, ensuring every play session feels new and rewarding. For those seeking to optimize their competitive edge, resources like June's best Brawler tier lists and patch note breakdowns can help guide gameplay decisions based on the latest balance changes[3][5]. As Supercell continues to evolve Brawl Stars, listeners can expect even more content and events to keep the action fresh in the weeks ahead.

  • Brawl Stars June 2025 Update Shakes Up Competitive Play with Major Brawler Nerfs and Exciting Matcherino Collaboration

    Brawl Stars June 2025 Update Shakes Up Competitive Play with Major Brawler Nerfs and Exciting Matcherino Collaboration
    Jun 18 2025
    Listeners, here’s the latest on Brawl Stars as of June 18, 2025. The game has seen a significant update this month, centered around the event titled The Battle for Katana Kingdom. Released on June 12, this new patch introduces sweeping balance changes, particularly targeting competitive gameplay and the Brawl Arena mode, which has rapidly grown in popularity among players.

    Many of the game’s strongest Brawlers have been reined in with nerfs to their key abilities. Kenji now charges his Hypercharge more slowly—down from 35% to 25%—and his ability no longer knocks up enemies, with the pull effect also weakened. Janet’s level-up damage bonus has been halved from 9% to 4%. Ash and Jacky, both previously top picks, have had their health and damage boosts trimmed. Jae-yong saw reductions to both his health points and reload speed. Even Clancy lost his passive synergy with robots, impacting strategies that relied heavily on that mechanic. Lumi’s Half-time Star Power slow duration decreased from two seconds to just one, further reducing her control potential on the battlefield[1][3][5].

    On the flip side, underused Brawlers received buffs intended to reinvigorate their presence in the meta. While specifics on all buffs weren’t detailed in the immediate sources, Supercell’s aim with this update was to create a more competitive and strategic environment, prompting greater diversity in character selection[5].

    Beyond character tweaks, major systemic changes were made to game mechanics. Developers revamped the XP distribution, adjusted how towers behave, and recalibrated base damage across several modes. These changes are designed to make matches in Brawl Arena more balanced and to reward smarter, more strategic plays. In addition, improvements were implemented for bot characters, including robots and towers, to ensure fairer and more engaging encounters in both casual and ranked matches[3][5].

    A notable development outside of direct gameplay changes is the expansion of Brawl Stars’ collaboration with Matcherino, announced on June 16. This partnership brings more incentives and additional ways to compete, with new in-game pins now up for grabs for participants in select events. Such moves indicate Supercell’s ongoing commitment to fostering a robust competitive scene and community around Brawl Stars[2].

    These adjustments, collectively, mean that listeners can expect a much-shaken meta, particularly for ranked gameplay in June 2025. Supercell continues to respond actively to player feedback, using these balance updates and event collaborations to maintain excitement and fairness in Brawl Stars as it evolves. The game remains free to play, with fresh content and changes likely to arrive throughout the year as both casual and competitive players explore new strategies and team compositions[1][2][3][5].

  • Brawl Stars June 2025 Update Introduces Brawl Arena Mode and Revamps Progression System

    Brawl Stars June 2025 Update Introduces Brawl Arena Mode and Revamps Progression System
    Jun 15 2025
    Listeners, Brawl Stars has delivered a major update in June 2025, introducing substantial gameplay changes and new experiences for longtime fans and newcomers alike. On June 5, the highly anticipated Brawl Arena mode arrived, marking one of the most significant shifts the game has seen recently. In Brawl Arena, you’ll form teams of three and go head-to-head against another squad with a single goal—destroy the enemy’s base before they destroy yours. What sets this mode apart from previous ones, such as Heist, is that the bases don’t just sit idle; they actively defend themselves by attacking nearby brawlers and summoning minions that complicate every push and defense. Turrets bolster each side, remaining untargetable until an enemy steps into their range, making team tactics and positioning even more important[1][4].

    The new mode is crafted for longer, more intense battles. Brawl Arena rewards players with double the Trophies for a win, but the trophy loss for defeat stays consistent with other modes. This makes it one of the fastest ways to climb the ranks for those seeking quick progression[1]. At the center of every Brawl Arena map are robot-spawning zones. Gathering Arena XP from these zones, by cooperating with your team or destroying enemy buildings, increases your in-game stats—giving every match a clear curve of power and progress. Arena XP doesn’t reset when you lose, and it can reach up to 15 levels, fueling the stakes with every encounter. A pie graph interface tracks robot spawn times, ensuring that strategic planning plays a vital role in victory[1][4].

    Beyond new gameplay, June’s update brought changes to Brawl Stars’ progression and reward systems. The Masteries progression system, popular with many dedicated players, is being retired after the current #1000Masteries event, which lasts until June 24, 2025. During this final event, listeners can earn increased Mastery Points for match victories or achieving Star Player status across multiple game modes. Daily caps on earning points are raised, and special community milestones unlock cosmetic rewards, boosts to Mastery gain rates, free Starr Drops, and Legendary Drops. This event is the last opportunity to secure exclusive Mastery Rewards before the system is removed[3][4].

    On June 12, the game received further balance adjustments with the launch of "The Battle for Katana Kingdom," which included tweaks such as a nerf to Kenji’s Hypercharge ability and other balance changes to keep competitive play fresh[2]. These regular updates, along with free Starr Drops and new unlockable skins through in-game challenges, show Supercell’s ongoing commitment to keeping Brawl Stars engaging and rewarding.

    In summary, June 2025 has brought a revitalized progression path, a flagship new game mode, and community-driven rewards, shaping Brawl Stars into a more strategic and community-focused experience than ever before[1][2][3][4].

  • Brawl Stars Launches Brawl Arena: Exciting New Game Mode with Strategic Gameplay and Major Updates in June 2025

    Brawl Stars Launches Brawl Arena: Exciting New Game Mode with Strategic Gameplay and Major Updates in June 2025
    Jun 13 2025
    Listeners, Brawl Stars continues to evolve with major updates released in June 2025, introducing new gameplay experiences and significant rebalancing of the competitive landscape. The highlight of this month’s updates is the arrival of Brawl Arena, a brand-new game mode that brings longer, more involved matches. In Brawl Arena, teams of three compete to destroy each other’s bases, but with a twist: these bases actively defend themselves, shooting at nearby brawlers and summoning minions to assist in both offense and defense. Bases are protected by turrets that only become vulnerable when an enemy enters their firing range. In addition, robot-spawning zones in the map’s center grant Arena XP, boosting a player's stats as the game progresses. Arena XP is persistent throughout each match, maxing out at 15 levels, and can also be earned by team cooperation and by destroying enemy structures. This makes for fast-paced, strategic matches with a pie graph in the interface to track robot spawn times, ensuring the action stays intense and tactical.

    Brawl Arena isn’t just about the thrill of competition; it also offers double the Trophies for every victory compared to other modes, giving players new opportunities to progress quickly through the ranks. However, losses result in the same Trophy deduction as regular modes, so the stakes remain high for every match. Alongside the gameplay innovations, listeners can claim free Starr Drops and even unlock a free skin through special challenges associated with the June update.

    On the progression front, Brawl Stars is sunsetting its Masteries system. The #1000Masteries event runs through June 24, 2025, offering one last chance to rack up Mastery Points for wins or being named Star Player. Daily point caps have been raised, and as the community achieves collective milestones, all players unlock bonuses such as faster Mastery gain rates, exclusive cosmetics, Starr Drops, and even Legendary Drops. After this event concludes, Mastery Rewards will no longer be available, marking a significant shift in how progression and rewards work in the game.

    The June update also introduces a major round of balance changes focused on the increasingly popular Brawl Arena mode. Several leading brawlers have been adjusted to keep matches fair and competitive. Kenji’s Hypercharge now takes longer to recharge. Janet’s damage boost from leveling up has dropped from 9 percent to 4 percent. Ash’s health and damage buffs have been reduced, and Jae-yong loses both reload speed and HP bonuses. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to keep each match balanced as the game evolves, and they also include systematic improvements to how bots—like robots and towers—behave during matches.

    Altogether, Brawl Stars is ushering in a dynamic era with new ways to play, earn rewards, and compete—making June 2025 an important turning point for both longtime fans and newcomers to the game.
