Come on&#8230; It looks like things<br \/>\nare getting strange&#8230; &#8230;er&#8230; things.<br \/>\nStranger Things. We&#8217;re doing a collab with Stranger Things. BRAWL TALK The Upside Down is taking over<br \/>\nStarr Park and even some of the Brawlers. Eleven Lumi,<br \/>\nthe Stranger Things Brawl Pass Skin, harnesses the power of Waffles&#8230;.? Okay, the power of Waffles<br \/>\nto fight back evil. She also has two Chromas: Retro Lumi and Thrilled Lumi. Dustin Nita.<br \/>\nDustinita&#8230;? has taken a liking<br \/>\nto the Upside Down, even adopting a Demogorgon<br \/>\nas her own pet. Did we mention Dustin Nita is Hypercharged<br \/>\nand also has two Chromas? 80s Dustin Nita and future Dustin Nita. Hopper Bull brings the long arm<br \/>\nof the law from Hawkins to Brawl, which just happens<br \/>\nto be in the shape of a revolver. Eddie Draco is riffing his way<br \/>\nthrough this season, serving some shred in Showdown. Will Gus may look innocent, but he can control the power<br \/>\nof the Upside Down to use for himself. And finally, we have Scoops Ahoy Berry, who doesn&#8217;t know how he got here<br \/>\nor why he&#8217;s wearing this outfit. I think it suits him. NEW GAME MODES Venture into the Upside Showdown,<br \/>\nour new &#8220;roguelike&#8221; game mode. Actually, it&#8217;s called roguelite. We wanted to add roguelite style gameplay<br \/>\ninto Brawl for a while now, and what better opportunity to kick it off<br \/>\nthan with our Stranger Things collab? Upside Showdown plays like this: Each game serves as a run<br \/>\nwhere you Brawl through five stages with your Brawler of choice. When a stage starts,<br \/>\nyou get to choose a new Power. Powers can range from defensive,<br \/>\nlike more health, to buffs,<br \/>\nlike faster movement speed, to all out offense<br \/>\nlike bigger projectiles. By choosing certain Powers that work<br \/>\nwell together or with your chosen Brawler, you can create your own unique build<br \/>\nand become increasingly stronger. Each stage, you battle nine other players<br \/>\nin a free-for-all Showdown. The top four players<br \/>\nadvance to the next stage, and the first to win<br \/>\nfive games gets max rewards, which are Trophies and Waffles. Sounds like a fun restaurant. If you&#8217;re not in the top four, your run will end and you can start<br \/>\na fresh one with new choices. BRAWLER DECKS + WAFFLES Why do we keep talking about waffles?<br \/>\nThis is why: In this event,<br \/>\nyou get Eleven&#8217;s favorite food, Waffles, and trade them in the Event Shop<br \/>\nto get Card Packs. You can also unlock unique ability cards<br \/>\nfor certain Brawlers. Waffles can be earned through<br \/>\nthe Upside Showdown, Boss Fight, Quests, Daily Wins and Freebie chains, and etc. Free Waffles are available<br \/>\nto claim for free. BOSS FIGHT? Boss Fight. Join up with other players<br \/>\nto battle Vecna and Demogorgon. Oh, and Spirit Frank. Get rewards and, you guessed it,<br \/>\nWaffles! NEW SKINS unleash the fury with our first<br \/>\nfemale Mecha Skins. Get Mecha Mandy in the Brawl Pass<br \/>\nalong with her Chromas, Wasp Mecha Mandy<br \/>\nand Shade Mecha Mandy. Mecha Piper is ready to engage from afar. She&#8217;s getting a Hypercharged Mecha<br \/>\nin the form of a Lotus Mecha Piper This also has two Chromas:<br \/>\nPetal Mecha Piper and Rose Mecha Piper, so she can look fabulous<br \/>\nwhile blowing stuff up with lasers. Mecha Jesse is ready to launch. Her two Chromas, Bubblegum Mecha Jesse<br \/>\nand Shining Mecha Jesse, will turn the others into scrap. A little known fact is that<br \/>\nthe Brawl team loves the gym, so we wanted to make<br \/>\nour own Gym Rat collection. Pump It Melody, Workout Charlie,<br \/>\nand Gym Rat Mr. P. Meet Tiger Leon,<br \/>\nthe new Pro Pass Skin, who will evolve into a fully<br \/>\nHypercharged Skin, Shadow Tiger Leon, alongside two Chromas,<br \/>\nWhite Tiger Leon and Stalking Tiger Leon. Archer Queen Penny<br \/>\nis in Supercell ID Rewards. NEW BRAWLER Meet Gigi,<br \/>\nthe Mythic, wait for it, assassin. Yep, another one. Part of Juju&#8217;s trio,<br \/>\nGigi&#8217;s an abandoned ballerina doll who showed up at the Oddities Shop. She came alongside a strange glove<br \/>\nrumored to have belonged to a magician, which never leaves her side. Gigi has a new trait: she charges her Super<br \/>\nfrom dodging enemy projectiles. -Wow.<br \/>\n-Whoa! Her main attack,<br \/>\nPirouette Power-up, spins and deals damage<br \/>\nto all enemies around her and gives her extra movement speed<br \/>\nwhile spinning. For her Super,<br \/>\nGigi teleports to a target area where she can surprise-attack enemies. She can then reuse her Super<br \/>\nto teleport herself back to her starting spot,<br \/>\ndealing damage when she leaves. Gigi is a fast-moving Brawler<br \/>\nwho can be used to perform deadly attacks. You can unlock Gigi<br \/>\nin her Brawler Release Event by winning games to open Gigi Boxes. These boxes will also include<br \/>\nher new 199 Gem Skins. NEW HYPERCHARGES -Hyper&#8230;<br \/>\n-Wait, hold that thought. We&#8217;ve gotta change something. Currently, Hypercharges give<br \/>\na massive boost when active, but these boosts differ across Brawlers. We&#8217;re changing Hypercharges to give<br \/>\nall Brawlers the same stat bonuses. A 5% bonus to attack,<br \/>\na 5% bonus to defense, and a 20% boost to movement speed. -Hyper&#8230;<br \/>\n-Why? Hypercharges provide slightly<br \/>\ntoo high value to a point that it feels frustrating<br \/>\nto face certain Hypers. Reducing the overall buffs provided<br \/>\nshould allow for better counterplay when Hypers are activated. &#8230;Charge. Pam.<br \/>\nMama&#8217;s love. Pam&#8217;s turret heals on deploy. It continues to heal Brawlers over<br \/>\ntheir max health by providing them with a decaying shield. Alli.<br \/>\nSwamp Snacking. Alli heals for 20% of damage dealt<br \/>\nduring her Hypercharge, and her main attack<br \/>\ndoes max percent health damage instead of current percent health damage. Mina.<br \/>\nTriplecane. Mina&#8217;s Super now fires three hurricanes<br \/>\nin a cone shape, which can bounce. Ziggy.<br \/>\nThe Grand Vortex. Ziggy&#8217;s Hypercharged Super returns to him<br \/>\nupon reaching its max range or lifetime. MEGA QUESTS Mega Quests are chains<br \/>\nthat will unlock new quests once you have completed others. Mega Quests have two rewards: one is variable<br \/>\nand the other is a lot of Brawl Pass XP. There are two types:<br \/>\nMega Quests and Omega Quests. Omega Quest rewards are twice as good. Each Brawl Pass season comes with<br \/>\na Mega Quest chain for the duration. This contains seven Mega Quests and the final Mega Quest<br \/>\nis Brawl Pass exclusive. OTHER CHANGES We recently changed the Daily Rewards<br \/>\nto six wins for six rewards, when it used to be eight wins<br \/>\nfor three rewards. We did some thinking<br \/>\nand have decided it&#8217;s best for everyone to get six rewards for six wins. We are keeping this setup for now<br \/>\nand let&#8217;s see how it goes. Daily Win rewards will be random each day<br \/>\nfrom a pool of these possible rewards: Starr Drops, Hypercharged Starr Drops,<br \/>\nAngelic Starr Drops, Demonic Starr Drops, Sushi Rolls,<br \/>\nPresents &#8211; during certain seasons &#8211; Mega Boxes and Boom Boxes,<br \/>\nand Mech Boxes, sometimes. Team Up changes. The &#8220;Team Up&#8221; list will now show players<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ve recently won with. Finally, we have a use for XP doublers. They used to only double Battle XP,<br \/>\nbut now they will double Quest XP, which is easier to understand. New Trio modes,<br \/>\nwith four teams of three players. Trio Wipeout and Trio Gem Grab. Four teams in Gem grab.<br \/>\nYou heard that right. The next Brawl Talk is in one month. We didn&#8217;t just forget<br \/>\nto make another Brawler. Now claim this freebie<br \/>\nand get out of here.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n\ud83e\uddc7 STRANGER THINGS collab with new game modes and Skins!<br \/>\n\ud83e\ude70 New Brawler GIGI<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd25 4 New Hyyypeeerchaaaarges (and overall changes to Hypercharges!? \ud83d\udc40)<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcaa Mega Quests AND Omega Quests<br \/>\n\ud83e\udd16 Mecha Piper and more Mecha Skins!<\/p>\n<p>FREEBIE: https:\/\/link.brawlstars.com\/voucher\/cbd9bc12-423e-4a32-be45-590b0ebc52ad \ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPSIDE SHOWDOWN IS COMING! #strangerthings #brawltalk BRAWL STARS BRAWL STARS I dump your ass.
