What happened during the April 2026 Brawl Talk for Brawl Stars?
The livestream, which was just over ten minutes long, had plenty of announcements for fans. The most important of these details was the fact that three new brawlers were coming to the beloved mobile MOBA.
Supercell's latest Brawl Talk disclosed that the Finnish video game company would be adding these new brawlers, Damian, Starr Nova, & Bolt, over the next three months. Here's a breakdown of this trio of brawlers:
Damian: A member of the trio, also containing his brother Draco and Lumi, Damian is a mythic tank releasing this month. His attack, Power Trio, sees him land three successive hits, with the third one being an explosive kick that knocks back enemies and sets them on fire. After a delay, this fire explodes and spreads to nearby enemies.
Starr Nova: Starr Nova is a mythic assassin coming to Brawl Stars in May. Her attack, Nova Hair, Go, uses her glorious anime hair as a weapon, firing 2 blonde projectiles. The new brawler's main attack, Mystical Starr Technique, also heals teammates. Moreover, she will have a Starr Nova Event, where players can unlock the Void Master Finx Skin for free and level up Starr Girl Transformations to be used in selected game modes. The Transformation modifier is active in Featured Game Modes and randomly selected Trophy Modes.
Bolt: Bolt, an epic tank, is the last of the new brawlers coming to the hero shooter in June. Designed to deal damage by rolling into things, he might be the most unique brawler added in April's Brawl Talk, with his main attack, Battle Bumper, dealing damage by rolling into other brawlers. Its effectiveness is accentuated by his trait, which sees Bolt's movement speed increase while moving.
The latest Brawl Talk also revealed that there would be changes to The Shop, which has been completely redesigned to make it easier to discover offers, navigate between sections, and find exactly what players are looking for. There's also the Oddities Shop, a fresh way to score skins for Bling with personalized offers that refresh every day.
