Kenji’s Hypercharge was briefly shown at the 1:16 min timestamp in a recent official teaser video. While Kenji is considered a “B-tier” assassin in the current meta, the community speculates that a powerful Brawl Stars Hypercharge could push him back into top-tier viability.

Concept designs suggest that Kenji might gain an additional set of precise circular slashes after using his Super, potentially performing eight total slashes in a destructive area-of-effect pattern. Some fans have also proposed that his Hypercharge could break obstacles and stun enemies in its path, making him extremely dangerous.

Shortly after Kenji's reveal, Griff’s Hypercharge appeared in the same clip, prompting similar excitement and concern. Griff has been a relatively balanced brawler who has dipped in and out of viability in the past few metas. His Super, once a chainable powerhouse, has been toned down, but a Hypercharge could change that drastically.

Popular fan theories suggest that Griff's Hypercharge will allow his Super to hypnotize or stun his opponents. Another concept is that it might pull enemies to exert a 360-degree card explosion to hurt all nearby enemies.
