STARR PARK, ALLI + TRUNK, KIT’S HYPERCHARGE, RECORDS, AND MORE!

TROPHY ROAD REWORK

The Trophy Road has been reimagined with a Starr Park theme!

Journey through the theme park where Brawlers live, collecting rewards from various Trophy Worlds. Each World represents a unique area of Starr Park, serving as the home for three Brawler trios and their distinct locations.

The update launches with the Town Square and Retropolis Worlds, with more existing — and brand-new — Worlds coming in future updates.

REWARD UPDATES

The new Trophy Road offers the following rewards:

• Legendary Starr Drops
• Hypercharge Starr Drops
• Mythic Starr Drops
• Starr Drops
• Power Points
• Coins
• Credits
• Bling

ADDITIONAL CHANGES

• Trophy Road progression has been extended from 70,000 to 100,000 Trophies
• Rare and Super Rare Brawlers can now only be unlocked through Trophy Road and are no longer available for purchase with Gems

RECORDS!

If you missed the recent #1000Masteries Community Event, you might be wondering where Masteries went—and why you now see folders instead.

WHAT ARE RECORDS?

Records are a new achievement system for both your Brawlers and your account! You complete Records by accomplishing specific goals during gameplay, ranging from simple tasks to more challenging feats.

For example:

• Win 10 games as Piper
• Heal a total of 500,000 health
• Score a goal after every teammate has touched the ball in Brawl Ball

Most Records reward Starr Drops, while tougher ones grant unique cosmetic items or even Legendary Starr Drops!

RECORD LEVELS

Completing Records earns you RECORD POINTS, which add up to your total RECORD SCORE. As your Record Score increases, so does your RECORD LEVEL.

Why aim for higher Record Levels? Because they unlock exclusive Battle Cards!

At launch, there will be 10 Record Levels. Your highest Record Level will be shown on your Profile, and leveling up will send a notification to your Club.

You’ll receive alerts when you complete a Record, and you can track all your progress in the Records overview screen, accessible through Trophy Road. Here, you can view your progress on each Record, the rewards available, and your current Record Level!

FAREWELL TO MASTERIES

What has changed with the transition from Masteries to the new Records system?

Masteries have been replaced by ‘Win X Games with a Brawler’ Records.

At launch, each Brawler will have 5 different Records, with the last 3 offering the same cosmetic rewards that were previously available through the Mastery track—so you won’t lose any titles!

Resource rewards from Masteries are now integrated into Trophy Road and Starr Drops within Records, ensuring no progression rewards are lost.

Any unclaimed Mastery rewards will be granted when the update goes live.

The Mastery Icon on Battle Cards has been replaced with the Ranked Icon.

Records will unlock once you reach 350 Trophies.

HYPERCHARGES

TWO NEW BRAWLERS!

ALLI – MYTHIC ASSASSIN

Alli is the reserved mechanic from Love Swamp. She enjoys getting her hands dirty—whether it’s repairing broken machines or silently hunting other Brawlers.

If you’re walking home late and hear a strange noise, it’s probably Alli saying hello in her own way.

TRAIT:

Alli becomes enraged and moves faster when pursuing an enemy who isn’t at full health.

MAIN ATTACK: SWAMP SWIPE

Alli dashes forward, slashing as she goes. When in a bush or water, she leaps instead. The range of Swamp Swipe increases with her movement speed.

SUPER: STALKER

Alli becomes stealthy with pulsing invisibility, revealing all enemies to herself for a brief time. Her next main attack deals extra damage that scales with the enemy’s current health—the higher their health, the stronger the attack!

TRUNK – EPIC TANK

Trunk is an oddly unsettling tree…

Could it be that Trunk is actually a colony of hyper-intelligent ants piloting a mechanical tree? No way—that sounds too crazy.

MAIN ATTACK: ANT ATTACK!

After a brief delay, Trunk spins around, damaging enemies and leaving ants behind. Being near these ants boosts Trunk’s movement speed and damage. The edges of the attack deal extra damage to foes.

SUPER: DRIVEN BY REVENGE (AND ANTS)

Trunk charges forward, scattering ants along the path. The charge can also bounce off walls!

ANGELS & DEMONS ARE BACK!

The Angels & Demons events are returning for two 12-day runs in July and August.

Similar to the first event, players will have access to Angelic and Demonic Skills that grant Brawlers powerful new abilities.

This time, there’s a key change—players begin with all Skills already unlocked!

Additionally, you can now unlock Skill Slots to combine up to 3 Powers at once.

In each event, players begin with 1 Skill Slot unlocked and can unlock 2 additional slots by opening Angelic or Demonic Starr Drops.

This allows you to combine up to 3 Skills, empowering your Brawler with extraordinary abilities! Experiment with different Skill combinations to discover the most effective setups for each game mode.

Every Skill has a primary trait, and some gain secondary effects when paired with others. Skill Slots will glow to indicate when Powers have special synergy with one another!

MORE INFO!

Angelic and Demonic Starr Drops can be earned by completing Daily Play rewards, Quests, and Contests. There are 3 new Angel Skins and 3 new Demon Skins available through these Starr Drops, alongside the existing Angels vs. Demons Skins.

You can keep track of the Skins you’ve unlocked in the event hub! Event Skins can drop from Angelic and Demonic Starr Drops even if you don’t own the corresponding Brawler. Plus, the Spirit Wars and Soul Collector game modes are making a return!

Below are the Skins you can get in the events!
