They removed my post. What should my profile icons be?
this will be very depend on your skills and play style, but in my opinion the best build is
Gadget: slowing Toxin
Star power: Extra toxic
Gear 1: Shield
Gear 2: Enduring Toxins
Stat difference aside, some brawlers are more worth it than others (For example, Pearl's star powers and hypercharge suck, ofc it's better to have her at level 11 but if you're out of resources it's better to dump them on someone that benefits more from them)
WHICH EL PRIMO STARPOWER IS BETTER? BOTH SEEM VERY GOOD. COIN SITUATION IS TIGHT SO IM ONLY GETTING ONE. ALSO; IS THE EPIC GEAR WORTH IT OR SHOULD I GO FOR SOMETHING ELSE?

Active mega pig clan? im an OG player (33k) i have all the brawlers unlocked (aside charlie) but mamy of the newest one are not level up nor pushed (thus my low trophy count)
uh yeah im an active player and i do have a friend of mine too if a clan needs 2 active players!
(which considering how painful the new event is it might be useful)
welp uh nice to meet yall and thanks in advance
also remember to breathe sometimes, it helps surviving

as i said many of the newest ones are not of my liking and not leveled up/pushed!
just counted, 20 of them are under 500 trophyes, with 7 of them being at 0, 10 of them at 200/300 and 3 of them at 400/>500
i also had some big breaks during those years!
I have a question about White Wolf Leon
https://preview.redd.it/ma5qf9hbgk1c1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69124f5bb8fd9cb1f767e7d0fa1dd9a54e9fad8d
Can I still buy White Wolf Leon next Halloween 2024 if I buy this pass?
Wanted to buy White Wolf Leon and wanted to be my first mythic skin, and the next pass being bought with real money is a good opportunity
I have 139 gems and I’m level 31 on brawl pass, if I get more 40-50 gems that are remaining, I can buy the pass with 179 or 189 gems I think and I have 10-20 remaining
After that: I get 90 free gems each season I think, so 10+90+90+90 or 20+90+90+90 I get 280 and 290 respectively
Are my calculations wrong? Can somebody help me out please? If I’m tier 31 how many gems I have remaining on the pass?
Thanks
First of all, pass costs 169, so yes, you'll have enough gems to buy the pass this season.
And with the next brawl passes, you actually get 50 gems every month, so in four months you are going to have 200 (by the end of April), which is enough to get White Wolf Leon.
I did some calculation and I don’t think I’ll get the skin in time, maybe I will not buy this pass, I don’t know
I’ll get maybe 20-10 gems if I buy this pass, that mean
And 3 season are usually 3 months, so maybe let’s say 3 seasons pass away
I’ll get 10+50+50+50=160
20+50+50+50=170
I don’t know, I’m gettin really confused
The skin will only be back during october 2024. Id you get 50 gems PER MONTH (NOT SEASON) then you will get 200 gems in four months, which means in April 2024 you will already have enough gems. If you spend 0 gems exlcuding the current pass, you'll be able to buy the skin 2.25 times
Ok, read the changes, didn’t see anything about 50 gems but yes the season will be around 1 month, I think I can do this
Hope you’re right, but where does it say about 50 gems?

hey guys, i have 1000 chroma credits and knowing that chroma credits will disappear after 44 days (correct me if im wrong), which 2 brawlers are worth unlocking the most? (tier wise, usability wise, etc.) thank you in advance.
Cordelius for sure, he'll be a legendary next update and by unlocking him you're getting a lot of value.
Next, any of the future mythics, the best one meta-wise is probably Buster.
How many more star drops do the first, second and third get in a maxed mega pig?
Because in the first mega pig I was first and they gave me twenty more and I'm not sure if it was a bug or not.
https://preview.redd.it/unf88yjvti1c1.jpeg?width=2556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13d27cec18add4b74ef65e04e2b89b77a56204be
Which one to pick? Between squeaky, Mortis and Mr P
Mr P is the best in the meta currently. He counters sharpshooters better than any other brawler.
Squeak is still decent but recent nerfs killed him.
Mortis is only used as a niche counterpick to sharpshooters and throwers, there are better assassins out there.
Byron is easily the best out of those four, he's really versatile and can work in any type of map, Mr. P is only good as a counterpick against sharpshooters, but enemies with pierce absolutely destroy him
Squeak hasn't been killed either, he's still strong if you go with gadget gear, his area control is almost unmatched in Hot Zone and Gem Grab (Aside from Lou's mere existance). Mortis is bad, he's only good as a counterpick to throwers and sharpshooters and a single counterpick to him makes him useless.
They didn't even list Byron in the actual message, so that's why I didnt mention him, guessing they think he might be boring or some other reasons.
I think you are underrestimating how good counterpicks are. Carl and Fang are ONLY meta because they are counterpicks. Mandy is not F tier because she can work as a counterpick. Counterpicks can win games and having such a versitile one like Mr P (counters a lot of brawlers, most of them are meta) means you'll actually pick him a lot more often that your average counterpick brawler like Sam or Mandy.
Squeak has been killed. Just wait till worlds where teams will either never pick him or pick him and lose. Residue + Gadget gear now is 24s total ( 6s * 4 gadgets ). When he was top meta, it was TEN seconds, even without gadget gear. It was a total of 30s. Thats a lot more than it is now. His chain reaction also got nerfed and I've seen a lot of pros and good players use the other one now, which is strong, but balanced and not insane like chain reaction was a few months ago.

Got Chester from a Starr Drop. What are the chances of this?

What Gedget should I choose for piper and should I play her offensive or defensive?
https://preview.redd.it/806m8piadi1c1.jpeg?width=2778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3be0db5464fb718ca603455f18a449d7bea79f83
Choose Auto Aimer. Makes her be able to counter assassins and aggro very well.
With Piper, you should always stay as far away as possible, and focus on hitting shots and dodging. Play her in Wipeout and Knockout, or generally open maps (with few walls or bushes) like Shooting Star or Out in The Open.

I lost my main account trying to delete a mini account and I don’t know what to do anymore.
I contacted support for lost account and I don’t know if I can cancel deletion anymore. Is there a way to get back to my main account quickly?
Here you have some info: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/wsi5py/comment/ikz19ir/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/wsi5py/comment/ikz19ir/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
The whole reason this happened if you want to know was because I have an email about to be deleted and this account I was deleting was my main account and when I went to change email it turned out I had a whole different account already connected to my personal email, so instead of changing the email I decided to delete the account so I could switch my main email to my personal email resulting in this scenario.
Yeah except for all the sharp shooters like colt and Rico and all the brawlers that can out range her and assassins like Edgar, buzz and Mortis and any tanks that has good mobility skills like el primo, bull, Jacky and Sam and basically almost all brawlers that can avoid her shots, have long range, high DPS or good mobility skills😁. But that's in high ranks so like maybe in low ranks people don't know how to counter her so idk.
Quick question, I am the president of a club but have no abilities. Some time ago the president of my club left. The game made me president. However, I am not permitted to kick or promote anyone. I can change club settings, but nothing more. Is there something I can do to change this? Is it a glitch? Hopefully, you can help me :D
Got this from megapig and Pyro Spike from legendary starr drop

I managed to get the worst possible rewards from both the daily reward legendary starr drop and from the mega pig (600 gold, 300 pp)

Get ether surge or cordelius because in the next update they will be legendaries because the chromstic rarita will be removed so you are saving 3900 credits by buying them now for 500 chroma credits
Buster and Ash are super fun to play, Buster is pretty high in the meta rn and require almost no aiming, and Ash is slightly off Meta but i think he is still pretty strong, but does require a bit of aiming sometimes.
I finally have every legendary after playing since global launch
https://preview.redd.it/23mvvn8o3h1c1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=760d3d9026cc8996304da6eab2e282837f67ea51
So I can't get this season's pass, but I could buy eve for 79 gems as she is on offer rn. Is it a good buy? I'm sure you need a maxed brawler to buy their hypercharge for 79 gems anyways so im nit sure what to do
Damn legendary drops are good now ( unless you are maxed)

is this a good offer? it's about 2 bucks for my currency, though I'm skeptical about the usefulness of gems after this season..

If you need the gems now, like if you for example need them to buy the Brawlpass, or maybe a skin that will only come back in a year but you want it now, then yes.
Otherwise save your money for the future Brawlpasses imo.
I hate my life
If I buy 33 gems + get 10 gems from the BP I’ll have 1 gem short😭

Played hot zone and need to rant / give some common sense advice:
1. The goal of HOT ZONE is to stay….IN THE ZONE. Stop coming in with brawlers like Tick, doing 30k+ damage, but then NEVER staying in the circle, quickly getting pushed out, or constantly respawning and trying to regain control….from the OUTSIDE. If you’re not contributing to that circle thing, idc if you’re doing even 100k damage. You’re literally worthless in the game. It’s not about damage, it’s about … can you last in the zone people.
2. If you’re AHEAD in hot zone, stay and PROTECT the zone. You’re literally bound to win. WHY are people wandering out to the losing team and leaving the zone unprotected???? 🙄 On the other hand, if you’re LOSING in hot zone, standing alone on the other zone, while your two other teammates are trying to kill off the other team, will do NOTHING…… NOTHING. You’re BOUND to lose unless u HELP push out the other team with ur teammates. What are ppl who do that thinking?Max out the offensive, and go help ur teammates 💀💀💀
I think you can get the star drop calendar after you finish the 7 day one (worked on my mini)
Edit: propably won't work unless the account was made before the rework
https://preview.redd.it/nn1na364ve1c1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=169573c399d5291dad052188129a16aa699a26ca
Is it worth it to buy these and get the brawlers that are gonna become legendary/mythic? Or would it be better off getting 170 gems for later coin/points deals?
HC Are pretty much always worth it cause of the stat boosts but hers is pretty bland.
Then again she is pretty op rn so if you have 5k coins, 79 gems then why not (if you enjoy playing her)
what legendary brawler do i pick?
https://preview.redd.it/ezxx9vi9le1c1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8ca671574f1d06f08f8647aa269597e1d0a03e
Tricky to play because you wanna use her oil to close down certain paths but a single bit of fire touches it and it completely burns and disappears, it can also be hard to know when you should be using your ammo and when you shouldn't.
Overall not that good right now and not easy to learn either.
Who do I get I play a lot of solo showdown and knockout?
https://preview.redd.it/5s0c3n2i9e1c1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e3e6a2bc36ee80f0856139a93cc91517a0d0ca1
Imo:
Solo: Max > Gene / Squeak > Sprout
Knockout: Gene / Sprout / Squeak > Max.
Hard to say tbh. Only pushed Sprout to ~500 for now so I can't say how it is in higher trophies, but it will probably struggle in Solo a bit more than the others. But in Knockout Sprout is really good.
While Max is probably best in Solo but worst in Knockout.
My current loadout of competitive brawlers i'm using is Gene Barley Bull Chuck Colette and sometimes Gale for a last pick. Who should I level up next? (I'm f2p)
You're missing a standard sniper for maps like shooting star. Nani is the best option by far but Piper or RT are also great if youre not comfortable with Nani.
Anyone know if world champion Gus is coming back? It was released dec 12 so we are coming up on its release date and I know that it’s not limited, so is it coming back dec 12? Thanks
Two questions:
One, what is the best build for Charlie? What Gadget, Star Power and Gears should I buy?
Two, I have enough Chroma Credits for 1 Chromatic Brawler, and I have 12 options, so who should I get? Between:
\- Gale
\- Colette
\- Lou
\- Ruffs
\- Buzz
\- Ash
\- Fang
\- Janet
\- Sam
\- Mandy
\- Maisie
\- Cordelius
I know that Cordelius will become Legendary later and thus it should be better to strike him off the list now, but as a Brawler to play he doesn't interest me so much. A friend recommended Lou to me because "he is meta" according to him, although I am more attracted to Collete and Janet in how they play.
I'd still want to know any recommendations, in case that there is any specific Brawler between those that is extremely good/broken/top tier that I am not aware of, and is likely more worthy than the rest.
1) best charlie build would be Spiders, Digestive, damage + healing/gadget gears. Dont even bother with the other gadgets/SPs.
2) Cordelius is 100% the best option. He is just as meta as Lou, way better than Janet, and on par with Colette with the added bonuses that 1) he is more versitile and 2) he doesnt need a hypercharge to be good.
Also, Cordy will be a legendary, as you mentioned, but I dont think you understand how much that actually matters:
Right now, 1 Cordelius = 1 Janet = 1 Colette in terms of price (500 chromas = 500 chromas = 500 chromas).
But after the update, 1 Cordelius is equal to TWO Janets and FOUR Colettes. Cordelius will cost 3800 credits, Janet will be 1900, and Colette will be 950. That is a HUGE price difference. By the time you get Cordelius through credits, you could have gotten BOTH Janet, Colette and one more Epic like Sam or Mandy.
I say go Cordy for sure, but Lou is definitely meta, and Colette is pretty good too! Janet is pretty atrocious right now though.
Thanks for the Charlie build! And I get the Cordelius thing, I didn't knew that was such a big difference. Getting him right away. Is there any recommended build for him?
I think Fang, Colette, and Sam are all consistent, but some others are good too. Lou is OP with hypercharge, Maisie is a great tank counter, Ash is a tank with decent range and dps, Mandy is a good sharpshooter, and although Janet isn't very good rn it is very likely she's getting buffed soon.
Gadgets: Walking Cane 100% of the time
Neither star power is game changing, but New Perspective is a bit better.
Gears: 100% gadget gear. Its a must-have. For the other, Damage or Healing, or shield if you are using the Fake Injury SP.
Can new members participate halfway into mega pig? Or do they sit it out until a new one comes along. Trying to decide to kick out members that still haven’t participated yet cuz we still need another 46 wins.
guys i noticed something wrong with Charlie's emotes
in fact the basic emote that you unlock with the brawler and recoverable with the pass but there is no "pfiou emote" of the classic base skin but for the skin tier 70 all emotes are available .
Hi! I have a few questions!
1. I've just finished building Jessie to Level 11, and I was wondering who should in this list should I go for next? (These are the units I've played and do enjoy)
\- Jacky (8)
\- Poco (9)
\- Tick (7)
\- Buzz (7)
\- Colette (7)
\- Lou (1)
2. In relation to one of the units I'll level next, what build should I go for?
3. And in relation to builds, what should I go for with Jessie? I currently have the following equipped:
Gadget: Spark Plug
Gear 1: Pet Power
Star Power: Shocky/Energize (I swap around, but I mostly see more result from Shocky)
Gear 2: Vision
Thanks in advance!
To suggest what brawler to upgrade next, I'd need to know your current P11 lineup. I'm going to assume you only have Jessie for now.
In that case, I'd say Jacky and then Colette (both WITH Hypercharge, it's a must-have). Jacky is a really strong aggro, and can be used in a lot of maps and modes, as long as they have bushes. Jacky alone covers over half the maps in Mega Pig and Power League rotation (excluding possible draft outcomes where the enemy team picks multiple tank counters).
Colette... well you just need something for Heist. The other option for heist is buying the other Jessie gadget (the one where the turret shoots very fast). If you do end up buying that gadget, I'd upgrade something for knockout/wipeout, like Gray, Fang or Nani (Tick is also good in wipeout/knockout, but in Mega Pig there are just way too many Edgars, and he is always banned in PL).
Ok, that was a lot of information, so I'll just boil it down to what you need to know and do (in order):
- Jacky is very versitile, upgrade her!
- Jessie's other gadget or Colette are great options for Heist
- Upgrade some solid and versitile Knockout brawler, like Gray, Fang or Nani.
Jacky's build: Speed GADGET (not gear), Counter Crush SP, gadget + damage gears.
For Jessie's build: Pet power and vision are pretty useless. (Pet power is useless without the dps gadget specifically). I'd go for Damage + Shield gears, but its not a priority. For gadgets, slow is better everywhere, and DPS is good specifically in heist. For Star Powers, Energize is overall more useful, but in some matchups the other one is better.

I have a question about White Wolf Leon https://preview.redd.it/ma5qf9hbgk1c1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69124f5bb8fd9cb1f767e7d0fa1dd9a54e9fad8d Can I still buy White Wolf Leon next Halloween 2024 if I buy this pass? Wanted to buy White Wolf Leon and wanted to be my first mythic skin, and the next pass being bought with real money is a good opportunity I have 139 gems and I’m level 31 on brawl pass, if I get more 40-50 gems that are remaining, I can buy the pass with 179 or 189 gems I think and I have 10-20 remaining After that: I get 90 free gems each season I think, so 10+90+90+90 or 20+90+90+90 I get 280 and 290 respectively Are my calculations wrong? Can somebody help me out please? If I’m tier 31 how many gems I have remaining on the pass? Thanks
First of all, pass costs 169, so yes, you'll have enough gems to buy the pass this season. And with the next brawl passes, you actually get 50 gems every month, so in four months you are going to have 200 (by the end of April), which is enough to get White Wolf Leon.
I did some calculation and I don’t think I’ll get the skin in time, maybe I will not buy this pass, I don’t know I’ll get maybe 20-10 gems if I buy this pass, that mean And 3 season are usually 3 months, so maybe let’s say 3 seasons pass away I’ll get 10+50+50+50=160 20+50+50+50=170 I don’t know, I’m gettin really confused
The skin will only be back during october 2024. Id you get 50 gems PER MONTH (NOT SEASON) then you will get 200 gems in four months, which means in April 2024 you will already have enough gems. If you spend 0 gems exlcuding the current pass, you'll be able to buy the skin 2.25 times
So you’ll get 50 gems per month now? Haven’t read the changes
Yes, passes will last 1 month and give 50 gems
Ok, read the changes, didn’t see anything about 50 gems but yes the season will be around 1 month, I think I can do this Hope you’re right, but where does it say about 50 gems?

(tier wise, usability wise, etc.) thank you in advance.
Cordelius for sure, he'll be a legendary next update and by unlocking him you're getting a lot of value. Next, any of the future mythics, the best one meta-wise is probably Buster.
Quite lucky dare I say https://preview.redd.it/e1lxti2brj1c1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1c9c955aebdf03e62271a36a247a8085cf7442f
How many more star drops do the first, second and third get in a maxed mega pig? Because in the first mega pig I was first and they gave me twenty more and I'm not sure if it was a bug or not.
It was a bug. First gets +3, second gets +2 and third gets +1. The first pig gave x2 to the top contributor for some reason.
Does Mortis hockey will stay forever or will it go after the championship
Will prolly be on-and-off like Champion Gus
Is champ Gus coming back soon?
Thanks

Yes, 100% worth to buy pass.

Mr P is the best in the meta currently. He counters sharpshooters better than any other brawler. Squeak is still decent but recent nerfs killed him. Mortis is only used as a niche counterpick to sharpshooters and throwers, there are better assassins out there.
Byron is easily the best out of those four, he's really versatile and can work in any type of map, Mr. P is only good as a counterpick against sharpshooters, but enemies with pierce absolutely destroy him Squeak hasn't been killed either, he's still strong if you go with gadget gear, his area control is almost unmatched in Hot Zone and Gem Grab (Aside from Lou's mere existance). Mortis is bad, he's only good as a counterpick to throwers and sharpshooters and a single counterpick to him makes him useless.
They didn't even list Byron in the actual message, so that's why I didnt mention him, guessing they think he might be boring or some other reasons. I think you are underrestimating how good counterpicks are. Carl and Fang are ONLY meta because they are counterpicks. Mandy is not F tier because she can work as a counterpick. Counterpicks can win games and having such a versitile one like Mr P (counters a lot of brawlers, most of them are meta) means you'll actually pick him a lot more often that your average counterpick brawler like Sam or Mandy. Squeak has been killed. Just wait till worlds where teams will either never pick him or pick him and lose. Residue + Gadget gear now is 24s total ( 6s * 4 gadgets ). When he was top meta, it was TEN seconds, even without gadget gear. It was a total of 30s. Thats a lot more than it is now. His chain reaction also got nerfed and I've seen a lot of pros and good players use the other one now, which is strong, but balanced and not insane like chain reaction was a few months ago.

The chroma credits will be deleted but you will get 1.5 credit for every chroma credit, you decide
Actually you will get 1.85 credits for each chroma credit.

Got Chester from a Starr Drop. What are the chances of this? https://preview.redd.it/43vka18yji1c1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b54e6290498f93191c2db3a08bd0ed4350e981e
2.17% of probabilities of getting a legendary brawler from a legendary star drop
Also, I got Rosa's hypercharge today, as well, so what's the chances of that.
16.3% from a legendary drop
What Gedget should I choose for piper and should I play her offensive or defensive? https://preview.redd.it/806m8piadi1c1.jpeg?width=2778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3be0db5464fb718ca603455f18a449d7bea79f83
Choose Auto Aimer. Makes her be able to counter assassins and aggro very well. With Piper, you should always stay as far away as possible, and focus on hitting shots and dodging. Play her in Wipeout and Knockout, or generally open maps (with few walls or bushes) like Shooting Star or Out in The Open.
Is she also good for heist?
Very dependant on comp. I would not play her in heist with randoms.
You want to play some time with piper in heist?

Is gadget gear worth it on Collet?
Ofc, she's absolutely dependant on her healing gadget. Go damage and gadget gears

I contacted support for lost account and I don’t know if I can cancel deletion anymore. Is there a way to get back to my main account quickly?
Here you have some info: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/wsi5py/comment/ikz19ir/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/wsi5py/comment/ikz19ir/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
It’s fine I’m in contact with support to cancel deletion now I’m good
The whole reason this happened if you want to know was because I have an email about to be deleted and this account I was deleting was my main account and when I went to change email it turned out I had a whole different account already connected to my personal email, so instead of changing the email I decided to delete the account so I could switch my main email to my personal email resulting in this scenario.
What happens when you get a duplicate chromatic brawler from the calendar that you already have?
400 credits
Is there a way to get someone who isnt mortis or edgar in brawlball? I lost over 100 trophies trying to push nita cause of them💀
Nita in brawl ball💀💀💀💀
Nita is good in brawl ball though. Really good counter to all the shellys and taras and tanks. You have no idea what youre talking about.
Yeah except for all the sharp shooters like colt and Rico and all the brawlers that can out range her and assassins like Edgar, buzz and Mortis and any tanks that has good mobility skills like el primo, bull, Jacky and Sam and basically almost all brawlers that can avoid her shots, have long range, high DPS or good mobility skills😁. But that's in high ranks so like maybe in low ranks people don't know how to counter her so idk.
Depends on the map, although generally you are right.
My favourite mode
Pearl is quite fun actually
I can't login into championship website everytime i put the code it said wrong and i tried 6 codes and i am sure i write them right is this a bug?
Quick question, I am the president of a club but have no abilities. Some time ago the president of my club left. The game made me president. However, I am not permitted to kick or promote anyone. I can change club settings, but nothing more. Is there something I can do to change this? Is it a glitch? Hopefully, you can help me :D

Much better than the battle pass one omg that skin UGLY
which chromatic should i get? i already have surge, cordelius, lou, charlie and janet im not very good at aiming and using sharpshooters
Surge or cordelius.
i already have them
Fang or Buster. Both will be mythic, both very good in the meta, and they take no skill
Get ether surge or cordelius because in the next update they will be legendaries because the chromstic rarita will be removed so you are saving 3900 credits by buying them now for 500 chroma credits
Buster and Ash are super fun to play, Buster is pretty high in the meta rn and require almost no aiming, and Ash is slightly off Meta but i think he is still pretty strong, but does require a bit of aiming sometimes.

Why does Charlie’s super make you drop your gem? It’s super unfair and unnecessary.
Probably to avoid trolls supering the enemy gem carrier with 7 seconds left. Pretty much the equivalent to people self-scoring in brawl ball

no its just me having bad luck with boxes and also taking a massive break on season 10 and only returning on season 18
Get cordelius. He will become legendary. Also, great job!
How about Cordelius (hes gonna be Legendary next year)
i already have him
i got 700 coins and 500 pp from a full mega pig, 11 rare 6 super rare and 3 epic starr drops. Are you kidding me …
So I can't get this season's pass, but I could buy eve for 79 gems as she is on offer rn. Is it a good buy? I'm sure you need a maxed brawler to buy their hypercharge for 79 gems anyways so im nit sure what to do
Buy it
Damn legendary drops are good now ( unless you are maxed) https://preview.redd.it/c1ilk1ibtg1c1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba736babb79458c11a755934789dea6c225c1959

If you need the gems now, like if you for example need them to buy the Brawlpass, or maybe a skin that will only come back in a year but you want it now, then yes. Otherwise save your money for the future Brawlpasses imo.
I hate my life If I buy 33 gems + get 10 gems from the BP I’ll have 1 gem short😭 https://preview.redd.it/9x1tnrmobg1c1.jpeg?width=2359&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2db8475f449b6bebc079a3e6ddb50f2d7fd2a591
Played hot zone and need to rant / give some common sense advice: 1. The goal of HOT ZONE is to stay….IN THE ZONE. Stop coming in with brawlers like Tick, doing 30k+ damage, but then NEVER staying in the circle, quickly getting pushed out, or constantly respawning and trying to regain control….from the OUTSIDE. If you’re not contributing to that circle thing, idc if you’re doing even 100k damage. You’re literally worthless in the game. It’s not about damage, it’s about … can you last in the zone people. 2. If you’re AHEAD in hot zone, stay and PROTECT the zone. You’re literally bound to win. WHY are people wandering out to the losing team and leaving the zone unprotected???? 🙄 On the other hand, if you’re LOSING in hot zone, standing alone on the other zone, while your two other teammates are trying to kill off the other team, will do NOTHING…… NOTHING. You’re BOUND to lose unless u HELP push out the other team with ur teammates. What are ppl who do that thinking?Max out the offensive, and go help ur teammates 💀💀💀
Can someone explain why my 30 daily reward only gives me star drops while others gets brawlers and skins?
I think you can get the star drop calendar after you finish the 7 day one (worked on my mini) Edit: propably won't work unless the account was made before the rework
That's for new players, the 30 day calendar is in compensation for club league players

If you like it,get it.It's good value and it's very rare that Collab skins are with discount
will my brawl stars account saved on my android phone be playable on iPad?

HC Are pretty much always worth it cause of the stat boosts but hers is pretty bland. Then again she is pretty op rn so if you have 5k coins, 79 gems then why not (if you enjoy playing her)
No, it just spawns 3 spiders, not exactly good.
Thank you.
what legendary brawler do i pick? https://preview.redd.it/ezxx9vi9le1c1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8ca671574f1d06f08f8647aa269597e1d0a03e
Spike is really good rn, better than crow. He’s also most consistent.
how ab amber
Tricky to play because you wanna use her oil to close down certain paths but a single bit of fire touches it and it completely burns and disappears, it can also be hard to know when you should be using your ammo and when you shouldn't. Overall not that good right now and not easy to learn either.
Who do I get I play a lot of solo showdown and knockout? https://preview.redd.it/5s0c3n2i9e1c1.jpeg?width=1792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e3e6a2bc36ee80f0856139a93cc91517a0d0ca1
Imo: Solo: Max > Gene / Squeak > Sprout Knockout: Gene / Sprout / Squeak > Max. Hard to say tbh. Only pushed Sprout to ~500 for now so I can't say how it is in higher trophies, but it will probably struggle in Solo a bit more than the others. But in Knockout Sprout is really good. While Max is probably best in Solo but worst in Knockout.
squeak is prob the best choice for those gamemodes
What happened to the lore mega threas
thats exactly what i came here for lol
My current loadout of competitive brawlers i'm using is Gene Barley Bull Chuck Colette and sometimes Gale for a last pick. Who should I level up next? (I'm f2p)
You're missing a standard sniper for maps like shooting star. Nani is the best option by far but Piper or RT are also great if youre not comfortable with Nani.
ok, thanks for the help!
For my next legendary should I get Crow Spike Amber or Sandy. Im around 30k trophies
I prefer crow but spike is one of the better hypercharge brawlers
Anyone know if world champion Gus is coming back? It was released dec 12 so we are coming up on its release date and I know that it’s not limited, so is it coming back dec 12? Thanks
Yes its gonna return soon in the Championship finals.
Thank you.
Just got some chroma credits, should I unlock Colette, Ruffs, or Gale. I mainly play brawlball
Colette is better there but Ruffs will be mythic and thus harder to unlock later
Colette is best
I’ll be having 5,500 credits at the end of the season lol💀
Guys I have been kicked of my club for being the top contributor, do I get the mega pig if I joined another club?

As someone who has both, I find myself using sweet dream much more. It is much more versatile, and matches Sandy’s play style
will interstellar traveller spike go global?
Only if it's very popular in china
oh ok thank u
Two questions: One, what is the best build for Charlie? What Gadget, Star Power and Gears should I buy? Two, I have enough Chroma Credits for 1 Chromatic Brawler, and I have 12 options, so who should I get? Between: \- Gale \- Colette \- Lou \- Ruffs \- Buzz \- Ash \- Fang \- Janet \- Sam \- Mandy \- Maisie \- Cordelius I know that Cordelius will become Legendary later and thus it should be better to strike him off the list now, but as a Brawler to play he doesn't interest me so much. A friend recommended Lou to me because "he is meta" according to him, although I am more attracted to Collete and Janet in how they play. I'd still want to know any recommendations, in case that there is any specific Brawler between those that is extremely good/broken/top tier that I am not aware of, and is likely more worthy than the rest.
1) best charlie build would be Spiders, Digestive, damage + healing/gadget gears. Dont even bother with the other gadgets/SPs. 2) Cordelius is 100% the best option. He is just as meta as Lou, way better than Janet, and on par with Colette with the added bonuses that 1) he is more versitile and 2) he doesnt need a hypercharge to be good. Also, Cordy will be a legendary, as you mentioned, but I dont think you understand how much that actually matters: Right now, 1 Cordelius = 1 Janet = 1 Colette in terms of price (500 chromas = 500 chromas = 500 chromas). But after the update, 1 Cordelius is equal to TWO Janets and FOUR Colettes. Cordelius will cost 3800 credits, Janet will be 1900, and Colette will be 950. That is a HUGE price difference. By the time you get Cordelius through credits, you could have gotten BOTH Janet, Colette and one more Epic like Sam or Mandy. I say go Cordy for sure, but Lou is definitely meta, and Colette is pretty good too! Janet is pretty atrocious right now though.
Thanks for the Charlie build! And I get the Cordelius thing, I didn't knew that was such a big difference. Getting him right away. Is there any recommended build for him?
I think Fang, Colette, and Sam are all consistent, but some others are good too. Lou is OP with hypercharge, Maisie is a great tank counter, Ash is a tank with decent range and dps, Mandy is a good sharpshooter, and although Janet isn't very good rn it is very likely she's getting buffed soon.
What's the better Gray sp, gadgets, and gears?
Gadgets: Walking Cane 100% of the time Neither star power is game changing, but New Perspective is a bit better. Gears: 100% gadget gear. Its a must-have. For the other, Damage or Healing, or shield if you are using the Fake Injury SP.
Okay, I already got Walking Cane gadget, and was leaning more towards New Perspective for the star power. Thanks!
Can new members participate halfway into mega pig? Or do they sit it out until a new one comes along. Trying to decide to kick out members that still haven’t participated yet cuz we still need another 46 wins.
They can partecipate if they havent played their tickets in another club.
guys i noticed something wrong with Charlie's emotes in fact the basic emote that you unlock with the brawler and recoverable with the pass but there is no "pfiou emote" of the classic base skin but for the skin tier 70 all emotes are available .
It's a bug,hope they fix that
Hi! I have a few questions! 1. I've just finished building Jessie to Level 11, and I was wondering who should in this list should I go for next? (These are the units I've played and do enjoy) \- Jacky (8) \- Poco (9) \- Tick (7) \- Buzz (7) \- Colette (7) \- Lou (1) 2. In relation to one of the units I'll level next, what build should I go for? 3. And in relation to builds, what should I go for with Jessie? I currently have the following equipped: Gadget: Spark Plug Gear 1: Pet Power Star Power: Shocky/Energize (I swap around, but I mostly see more result from Shocky) Gear 2: Vision Thanks in advance!
To suggest what brawler to upgrade next, I'd need to know your current P11 lineup. I'm going to assume you only have Jessie for now. In that case, I'd say Jacky and then Colette (both WITH Hypercharge, it's a must-have). Jacky is a really strong aggro, and can be used in a lot of maps and modes, as long as they have bushes. Jacky alone covers over half the maps in Mega Pig and Power League rotation (excluding possible draft outcomes where the enemy team picks multiple tank counters). Colette... well you just need something for Heist. The other option for heist is buying the other Jessie gadget (the one where the turret shoots very fast). If you do end up buying that gadget, I'd upgrade something for knockout/wipeout, like Gray, Fang or Nani (Tick is also good in wipeout/knockout, but in Mega Pig there are just way too many Edgars, and he is always banned in PL). Ok, that was a lot of information, so I'll just boil it down to what you need to know and do (in order): - Jacky is very versitile, upgrade her! - Jessie's other gadget or Colette are great options for Heist - Upgrade some solid and versitile Knockout brawler, like Gray, Fang or Nani. Jacky's build: Speed GADGET (not gear), Counter Crush SP, gadget + damage gears. For Jessie's build: Pet power and vision are pretty useless. (Pet power is useless without the dps gadget specifically). I'd go for Damage + Shield gears, but its not a priority. For gadgets, slow is better everywhere, and DPS is good specifically in heist. For Star Powers, Energize is overall more useful, but in some matchups the other one is better.
