Brawl Stars update: January update

Released: January 28, 2019

The first major Brawl Stars update since the global release is here! It mostly contains tweaks to brawler balance and a few notable nerfs. The newest brawler Leon is finally being taken down a peg, with nerfs to both his Super duration and close range damage.

The biggest changes are to the maps themselves. Green bushes no longer respawn on any maps, which will have a major impact on close range brawlers. There are a few smaller adjustments to other game modes, like Bounty game duration, Brawl Ball spawn location, and Showdown poison damage.

On top of all of this, there are several new skins to celebrate the Lunar New Year, as well as a new Brawler coming soon. Best of all though, there are economy changes that increase player token limits to 200 and lower the gem cost of Star Powers.
