List of Brawl Stars balance changes in October 2024

Here are the details of the upcoming balance changes:

• Moe: Moe’s abilities will be adjusted to keep his performance in check. His Super charge rate is set to be reduced by 20%, ensuring the invincibility-granting ability can't be used often. Additionally, Moe’s main attack damage will receive a reduction of 10% (from 600 to 540) to limit his offensive output.
• Squeak: Squeak will receive a 7% buff, increasing his main attack damage from 1080 to 1160.
• Meg: The HP of Meg's alternate form, called Mecha, will be reduced by 12.5%, from 4000 to 3500. This change is solely focused on reducing her usage in competitive Ranked matches.
• Gale: Gale's Super will receive a nerf, reducing his damage output by 26% (from 820 to 600). Additionally, his Hypercharge rate will be decreased from 30% to 25% to prevent him from spamming his Hypercharge.
• Penny: Penny’s main attack range will see an 8% increase, taking it from 24 to 26 tiles. This will reduce her reliance on her Super, which fires destructive projectiles from a cannon.
• Chester: The upcoming Brawl Stars balance changes will have Chester’s base HP reduced by 5%, from 3700 to 3500, to make him more vulnerable. Furthermore, the bonus damage provided by his Bellomania Star Power will receive a 25% nerf (from 200% to 150%).
• Maisie: To compensate for Maisie’s moderate health, the developers will increase her main attack damage by 9%, from 1280 to 1400.
• Darryl: Following the recent balance changes that allowed Darryl to use his Super twice in one charge, players constantly spammed his Super to exert area control and escape dangerous situations. To reduce the Brawler's effectiveness, Supercell will reduce the charge of his Super granted by his main attack by 27%.
• Mandy: Mandy's attack projectile speed will be increased for both her main attack and Super. Her main attack’s base speed will be boosted by 20% (from 3500 to 4200), and her Super’s speed will rise by 19% (from 4200 to 5000). However, the "In My Sights" Star Power’s projectile speed bonus is set to be decreased from 20% to 16%. These Brawl Star balance changes will reduce the usage of Bellomania Star Power while providing a buff to her main attack and Super.
• Kenji: The latest Brawler, Kenji, is currently breaking the game because of his Hosomaki Healing Gadget. However, this will likely change following the upcoming Brawl Stars balance changes, which will reduce the provided healing from 75% to 50%.
• Mortis: Mortis’s Hypercharge rate will be decreased by 20%, going from 50% to 40%, in the upcoming update.
