“Play your tokens by taking them to the discard pile. The first team with no tokens remaining wins!
Action tokens trigger special effects:
Power – Team members gain 2 power cubes
Silence – Enemy can’t shoot for the next 3 seconds
Rebound – Moves enemy tokens back to base
Pro Tip: You can body block flying enemy tokens!”
Brawl Stars Token Run is a 3v3 event introduced in the February 2025 update where teams aim to discard all their tokens by delivering them to the enemy’s discard pile. Each player can only carry one token at a time, and a team wins by getting rid of all its tokens first. If time runs out after 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the team with fewer tokens left wins. In the case of a tie, the match enters a 1-minute overtime where all map obstacles are removed, and the first team to score a token wins. If no one scores during overtime, the match ends in a draw.
Players pick up tokens by moving close to them and can throw them using an attack or Super—Supers launch tokens faster and farther. While holding a token, players cannot use Gadgets, and dropped tokens despawn after 10 seconds unless picked up again. Tokens can bounce off walls, be intercepted by body-blocking, and are affected by stuns or knockbacks. Adding more depth to gameplay are action tokens: Power gives teammates 2 Power Cubes, Silence mutes enemies for 3 seconds, and Rebound sends enemy tokens back to their base. These special tokens introduce new tactical opportunities and can shift the momentum of a match.
Brawl Stars Token Run Guide: Types of Tokens
| Token Type | Effect |
|---|---|
 Silence Token | Silences all enemy Brawlers for 3 seconds, preventing ability usage. |
 Rebound Token | Sends one of the enemy team’s tokens back to their starting base. |
 Power Token | Grants 2 Power Cubes to all allied Brawlers, boosting their health and damage. |
Brawl Stars Token Run Guide: Useful Brawlers
| Brawler | Why They’re Useful |
|---|---|
 Melodie | Melodie’s fast-charging Supers enhance mobility, making her great for quickly transporting tokens. Her musical notes also allow her to counter enemies even while holding a token, similarly to how she functions in Brawl Ball. |
 Gale | Gale’s Gadget and Super are excellent for controlling paths and protecting the discard pile. He can assist allies by boosting them forward and hinder enemies by knocking them back or slowing/stunning them with his Star Powers. |
 Gray | While Gray can’t teleport with a token directly, he can shoot the token through his portal to reposition it. His Hypercharge enables double portal use, offering more creative scoring angles. Obstacles can limit this strategy, though his Grand Piano Gadget may help. |
 Edgar | Edgar’s Super and Let’s Fly Gadget give him excellent mobility to move tokens across the map quickly. He’s also effective at defending the discard pile by quickly eliminating incoming enemies. |
Brawl Stars Token Run Guide: Tips
Brawl Stars Token Run is all about smart positioning, quick reactions, and efficient token control. These tips will help you block enemy plays, handle special tokens wisely, and use movement strategies to outscore the opposing team before time runs out.
Body Block Enemy Tokens
Just like in Brawl Ball, you can block flying enemy tokens with your body to stop them from reaching your discard pile and prevent scoring.
Token Types Are Fixed
Each team has the same set of token types. Their order is random, but the number is consistent, so plan strategically which to score first.
Token Dribbling with Fast Reload
With a fast-reloading Brawler, you can line up and shoot multiple tokens forward by stacking and dribbling them one after another.
Tokens Bounce Off Breakable Walls
Even breakable walls block tokens. Tokens will bounce off them unless you destroy the wall first with an attack or ability.
Don’t Launch Tokens into Enemies
Avoid launching tokens directly into enemies. They’ll block the token, causing you to immediately re-pick it up and waste time.
Water Interaction with Tokens
Tokens can fly over water but can’t be carried through it. Brawlers like Eve or Angelo will drop the token if they try crossing water with one.
Have a Defender at Base
Station someone near your discard pile to defend, retrieve dropped tokens, and pass new tokens that respawn at your base.
Brawl Stars Token Run Guide: Conclusion
Brawl Stars Token Run offers a fast-paced, objective-driven twist that rewards coordination, awareness, and mobility. Managing the right token at the right time, using the terrain, and preventing enemy plays are key to dominating matches. Mastering body blocks, rebound mechanics, and token types gives your team the edge to outscore and outmaneuver opponents before the clock—or overtime—runs out.

No, each Brawler can only hold one token at a time. You’ll need to work with teammates to advance multiple tokens effectively.

Yes. There are three special action tokens:
🔹Power gives allies 2 Power Cubes
