Brawlidays patch notes (January 25)

Nearly two months later, the developers have rolled out an important patch update for Brawl Star, which includes balance changes including nerfs and buffs for many Brawlers.

In addition, it also provides a detailed view of upcoming maintenance updates for both mobile platforms. So without further ado, let’s take a look at the Brawl Stars patch notes for January 25th.

Change balance – Nerfs

Grom

• Base damage reduced from 1000 to 900
• Utility: Watchtower – HP reduced from 2000 to 1500. Duration 40 → 20 seconds
• His super now counts after 6 shots instead of 5

Grom, because of an explosive damage, Brawler has had a huge nerf to his poke. From now on, you won’t be able to deal massive amounts of damage through basic attacks.

Rico

• Utilities: Bouncy Castle – 250 → 200 heal per return

Rico’s healing ability has been reduced.

Meg

• Super Charge takes 8 hits instead of 6

From now on, Meg’s Supercharge will have a counter.

Mortis

• Star Power: Scary Harvest – Heal reduced from 1400 to 1000

Mortis’s healing makes him tame supports and is arguably one of the best backline Brawlers

Stu

• Base physical damage reduced from 580 to 540

From now on, Stu may have to rely more on skills than basic attacks due to the damage nerf.

Speed ​​gear

Balance Change – Buff

Ash

• Increases his HP from 4800 to 5400

Ash is now an aggressive mare for him to molt for teammates on the front lines in a brawl.

Carl

• Increases his max range from 22 to 25

Due to the complex mechanics, Carl needs to be adjusted continuously. This patch focuses on his various abilities and gives it a little boost.

Mortis

• Star Power: Coil Snake – He gains his longer speed 2s faster instead of 1.5

Meg

• Star Power: Heavy Metal damage increased from 1000 to 1500 dmg

Other fixes

Change balance

Take a look at the most important nerfs and upgrades on Brawlers that have arrived during the Brawl Stars Balance Changes.

Buff

• Darryl
  • SP steel ring is now the baseline
  • New Steel Ring: Darryl takes 25% less damage for 2 seconds after using his Super Felt sensibly enough to add damage reduction to his Super so both of his Star Powers can be useful .
• El primo
  • Increase Supercharge from main attack (16 to 12 attacks) He has gone from overselecting to underselecting, now his Supercharge rate is somewhere in between.
• Whistle
  • Main attack damage increased (1000 to 1080) His biggest weakness is his attack delay. He still has it, because that’s what makes him unique, but now he’ll deal more damage when hitting someone.
• Carl
  • Super Damage boost (420 to 500) Carl needs some love because their picks aren’t good. His super can now die more but still requires the player to know when to use it.
• Cyclones
  • Super Damage Boost (240 to 420) Gale is really map-dependent and most useful due to his Gadgets and Supers, but is still a lower choice compared to all other Brawlers. This is not a huge buff but will encourage more players to pick him.

Nerfs

• Lola
  • Lola’s clone now if used alongside herself will only deal 50% of her Super damage when used on herself too easy to do for the sake of it. Now to make the most of her power, it requires some skill.
• Tara
  • Gadget – Support from Beyond – reduces shadow hp to 800 (from 1000) Beyond’s support is used more than her other Gadgets. This doesn’t make such a difference in most interactions but will help Brawlers who are struggling to get rid of them all. Bea will still struggle (we’re sorry about that, Bea).
• Sandy
  • Super Charge Rate Reduction (6 to 7 hits) Sandy’s Super is incredibly powerful and fairly easy to charge and chain. This will make him less of an obvious pick in maps with lots of walls.
