"Man-O-War Doug healing is broken": Fans react to the latest skin bug in Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars released the latest pirate-themed skin, Man-O-War Doug, on August 19, 2024. Unlike regular skins, it had a pre-attached bug that enhanced the Brawler's healing potential, making him one of the best supporting Brawlers in the current meta. While fans have been using this bug to boost their profile, it is likely to be removed in the upcoming patch fix.

With the introduction of this skin, fans instantly noted the bug and started posting on various social media platforms.

Meanwhile, u/WienerGang highlighted the value of this skin in his post on the r/BrawlStars subreddit. He had justified the amount of gem being charged for this skin by quoting:

"Worth every gem"

Some users faced a shortage of gems and enquired whether the skin could be purchased in exchange for 5000 Bling like other Epic skins in Brawl Stars. u/FlpFloor asked:

"Will Man-o-war doug be available for bling?"

Game-breaking Man-O-War Doug skin bug in Brawl Stars

After the new skin was unveiled in the latest update, Doug's healing abilities skyrocketed to an unprecedented level.

Normally, Doug provides 1200 healing per attack when he is upgraded to the maximum level. However, after equipping the Man-O-War Doug skin, his healing abilities are doubled, allowing him to heal himself and his allies for 2400 health per attack. This is currently shifting the meta, allowing Doug to sustain his entire team for longer durations by regularly boosting their health.

For many, this bug has drawn parallels to previous glitches in Brawl Stars where certain Brawlers temporarily became overpowered due to unforeseen coding errors. However, the Doug bug stands out because of its sheer impact on gameplay. With the ability to heal as effectively as Poco, another healing-focused Brawler, Doug can now dominate matches by simply spamming his attacks.
