Prepare to shake up your strategies, Brawlers! With the Brawl Stars World Finals approaching fast, Supercell has rolled out a fresh batch of balance changes and updates that are set to shake up the game. Here’s everything coming in the October 2024 patch, just in time for world-class competitors to clash in the arena. Let’s dive in!
The recent Brawl Stars update fixed several critical issues to enhance gameplay. Notably, the Ranked Boost, Ranked Battle Cards, and leaderboards from the previous Ranked Season are back after being absent for a while.
Additionally, the issue of Malicious Mandy’s absence in Ranked Starr Drops was addressed. Although it remains a concern for many players, the team has promised further updates as they gather more information.
These fixes, along with other changes, come at the perfect time as Supercell prepares to fine-tune the game before the highly anticipated World Finals.
Character Buffs
Maisie Maisie’s relatively low health has been compensated with a significant attack damage buff. Her maximum damage output is being increased from 1280 to 1400, giving her a more impactful role in the game and creating a better balance overall.
Mandy Mandy’s projectile speed is being increased across both her basic attack and Super skill. The speed of her basic attack will rise by 20% (from 3500 to 4200), while her Super’s speed will increase by 19% (from 4200 to 5000). However, the “In My Sights” Star Power’s projectile speed boost is being reduced slightly from 20% to 16% to ensure she remains balanced.
Penny Penny’s main attack range is getting a boost of 8%, increasing from 24 to 26 tiles. This adjustment allows her to hit enemies from a greater distance, reducing her reliance on her Super for long-range attacks.
Squeak Squeak is receiving a 7% buff to his main attack damage, which will increase from 1080 to 1160. This change should make him more formidable in team fights and enhance his strategic potential in battles.
Character Nerfs
Chester Chester’s base health is being reduced by 5%, from 3700 to 3500, making him less tanky. Additionally, his Bellomania Star Power’s bonus damage is being reduced by 25%, dropping from 200% to 150%. These changes aim to balance Chester’s overall power and ensure fairer gameplay.
Darryl Darryl’s Super charge from his main attack is being reduced by 27%, following player concerns over excessive spamming of his Super ability. This adjustment should bring more strategic gameplay, rather than over-reliance on spamming.
Gale Gale’s Super damage is being reduced by 26%, dropping from 820 to 600. His Hypercharge rate is also being cut from 30% to 25%, curbing his ability to spam his Super in critical moments and encouraging more resource management.
Kenji Kenji, the latest Brawler, is getting his Hosomaki Healing Gadget nerfed. The healing drop will be reduced from 75% to 50%, ensuring he doesn’t overpower other Brawlers and remains balanced.
Meg Meg’s Mecha form is having its health reduced from 4000 to 3500. This change focuses on balancing her durability, especially in Ranked Queue matches, where she has been seen as too dominant.
Moe Moe is receiving several adjustments to balance his competitive play. His Super charge rate is being reduced by 20%, limiting how often players can use his invincibility. Additionally, his main attack damage is being lowered by 10%, from 600 to 540, reducing his overall offensive power.
Mortis Mortis’s Hypercharge rate is being cut by 20%, from 50% to 40%, to adjust the balance of his abilities. This should encourage players to be more tactical in their use of Mortis’s skills.
Conclusion
These balance changes are set to revitalize familiar Brawlers and shake up established strategies. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a new player, these adjustments promise to make each match a fresh challenge. So, update your game, tweak your tactics, and prepare for an all-new level of Brawl Stars action!
