SAM
Sam is the new chromatic Brawler of the season, and he’s the brawn behind the brains of the Goldarm Gang! He also has some personal beef with all the robots in Starr Park.
- Trait: Sam starts with a fully charged Super.
- Main Attack: Heavy Haymakers
- He unleashes a double dose of hard-hitting punches that deal a lot more damage when wearing his Knuckle Busters on
- Super: Knuckle Busters
- Sam combines and shoots his gloves forward, dealing damage to all enemies on their way. Using the Super again, will call his gloves back and damage enemies on the way back.
- Gadget 1: Magnetic Field
- While the Knuckle Busters are on the ground, Sam can activate them to pull in nearby enemies.
- Gadget 2: Pulse Repellent
- Upon landing on the ground, Sam’s next deployed Knuckle Busters releases an electric pulse that knocks back enemies
- Star Power 1: Hearty Recovery
- Upon recalling his Knuckle Busters, Sam instantly recovers 30% of his health.
- Star Power 2: Remote Charge
- While the Knuckle Busters are on the ground and near enemies, they will charge up Sam’s Super
GUS (Will be released in late September)
New Super Rare Brawler! Gus is a mysterious kid who loves crafting animal-shaped balloons that keep himself company.
- Main Attack: Loony Balloons
- Gus shoots empty balloons that capture part of the enemies' souls. Each successive hit fills a bar, and once the bar is filled, the next shot will leave a spirit on the map that can heal allies and himself. He can leave multiple ghosts on the map.
- Super: Spooky Boy
- Gus can either shoot his balloon dog, Spooky, to create a shield around an ally or use it to himself.
- Gadget 1: Kooky Popper
- Explodes all uncollected spirits, dealing 1800 damage to nearby enemies.
- Gadget 2: Soul Switcher
- Gus loses 30% of his health to fill his bar instantly.
- Star Power 1: Health Bonanza
- Healed gained from the spirits is increased by 100%.
- Star Power 2: Spirit Animal
- Spooky also increases the damage for an ally by 25% for 5 seconds

Trophy League
We've heard your feedback about the 4-week cycle of the Trophy League season reset and decay, and after some internal discussions, we agreed the problem is getting more and more emphasized due to the addition of new Brawlers. These are the changes in the upcoming update:
- We're changing the season reset to follow the Brawl Pass season (~7-9 weeks) for the time being to evaluate the impact.
- We'll run additional Star Point Quests and Challenges throughout the season to compensate for the potential loss of Star Points!!
Once we've evaluated the results from this "experiment", we will make a decision if/how we'll change this system in the future, but we hope the extended seasonal cycle will remove some of the pressure you feel and allow you to push trophies higher than ever before.
Gears
In anticipation of upcoming Gear changes (see more in Brawl Talk) in October, we've reduced the crafting cost for Gears in this update:
- Power 1: 1 Gear Token + 40 Scrap
- Power 2: 1 Gear Token + 100 Scrap
- Power 3: 2 Gear Token + 200 Scrap
Balance Changes
BUFFS
Buzz
- Base HP - 4200 → 4400
Our favorite lifeguard has had some issues guarding his own life, so we gave him some more HP to allow him to stay in the fray for a bit longer.
Poco
- Main attack - Damage - 700 → 800
Poco has not been a go-to Brawler for quite a while. While his healing is decent, he needs to be a bit more of a threat by himself to be able to duke it out with other Brawlers.
Nita
- Main attack - Damage - 880 → 960
- Main attack - Super charge - 6 → 5 hits
Nita and Bruce have been out of the limelight for quite a while. Playing Nita without Bruce doesn’t feel too good, so we're buffing her slightly along with making it easier to summon Bruce.
Lola
- Gadget - Stunt Double - Healing - 350 → 1000
- Gadget - Freeze Frame - Shield 75% → 50%
The freeze frame has been a bit too powerful as a shield for Lola and her team. While it should be strong, it currently takes way too much to defeat and allows for too much pressure. Tuning it down and tuning Stunt Double up should allow for a better choice between Gadgets.
Jacky
- Main attack - Damage - 1160 → 1240
Jacky has had a hard time defeating other brawlers even when closing the distance. This makes her more deadly once she does reach her target.
Meg
- Main attack - Super charge - 8 → 7 hits
Meg's previous nerfs saw her play rate plummet. Reverting half of the previous nerfs should allow for her to be more balanced and make her a solid pick.
NERFS
Penny
- Base HP - 3800 → 3600
Penny has been doing really well even after her previous changes. While she is not too oppressive, she's a bit too tanky for the pressure she can assert, so we’re tuning her durability down slightly.
Carl
- Base HP - 4400 → 4000
Carl, much like Penny, has had a really good time as of late. His main projectile is now highly deadly, so he becomes more of a tanky sniper, which in general is a dangerous design. Tuning down his HP means it's easier to duel him at range, and also when closing the gap (but watch out for his Super!)
Crow
- Gadget - Slowing toxin - 5 → 3 sec
Bonnie
- Clyde - Base HP - 5200 → 4800
Bonnie (specifically Clyde) is a bit too tanky in sniper form, so we are tuning her HP down slightly to make sure that closing the distance allows brawlers to take her down more effectively.
Janet
- Base HP - 3600 → 3400
- Main attack - Super charge - 5 → 6 hits
Janet has been a great nuisance, and while her super isn't very effective offensively, it allows her to play very aggressively and get out of any situation. Increasing the time interval where she can play like this allows for more counterplay, along with an HP nerf that allows her to get burst easier.
