New Brawler and Hypercharges
The Brawl Stars x Stranger Things update introduces one new Brawler along with three new Hypercharges. While details on the new Brawler are currently limited, the Hypercharges promise to enhance gameplay in fascinating ways:
Pam: Mama’s Love
- Pam’s turret now heals upon deployment, providing Brawlers with a decaying shield that can boost their health beyond the maximum.
Alli: Swamp Snacking
- This Hypercharge allows Alli to heal for 20% of damage dealt, and her main attack now does maximum percent health damage instead of just current percent health damage.
Mine: Triplecane
- Mine’s Super can now shoot out three hurricanes arranged in a cone, which come with bouncing capabilities. However, note that the Gadget to refresh Super won’t work in conjunction with the Hypercharged Super.
Ziggy: The Grand Vortex
Ziggy’s Hypercharged Super has undergone significant changes. Upon reaching its maximum range or lifetime, the Super will return to the position Ziggy occupies, although it won’t home in on targets.
