Brawl Boxes (erased from Brawl Stars)

There were different types of Brawl Boxes, including:

  • Brawl Box: The standard box.
  • Big Box: Equivalent to 3 Brawl Boxes.
  • Mega Box: Equivalent to 10 Brawl Boxes.
  • Omega Box: Equivalent to 15 Brawl Boxes.

These boxes could be earned through gameplay, the Brawl Pass, or purchased in the shop. They contained various rewards like Coins, Power Points, Gadgets, Star Powers, and new Brawlers.[2] They have been removed from the game and replaced with starr drops. However, mega boxes were added back on 12/7/2024 for an event which lasted till 31/7/2024.

Brawlers

change

Brawlers are characters that can be selected by players, each with different abilities. These brawlers fall into a trio (some can be in a duo or solo), characterized by similar themes. As of December 2024, there are currently 86 brawlers in Brawl Stars. This includes 8 rares, 10 super rares, 27 epic, 28 mythic, and 12 legendary.

Unlocking

change

Brawlers can be unlocked by collecting credits. The number of credits required to unlock a brawler depends on its rarity. Order of rarities from common to least common is as follows: Common, Rare, Super Rare, Epic, Mythic, Legendary. Chromatic brawlers have been removed from the game and changed into their specific rarities. Credits are obtained from the Brawl Pass, Starr drops and the Starr Road. The credits required for a rare brawler is 160, super rare being 430, epic being 925, mythic being 1900, and legendary being 3800. (Please note brawlers cannot only be obtained by the Starr road.)

Brawl Pass

change

On May 14, 2020, a game update added a new reward system called the “Brawl Pass”.[3] The Brawl Pass is the game's version of a battle pass. When players compete in battles, they earn XP (formerly known as Tokens) to progress along the Brawl Pass and unlock tiers with various rewards. All players have the free Brawl Pass by default. Players could purchase the premium Brawl Pass with Gems, until January 4, 2023, where a change was made so the pass could only be bought with money.[4][5] After 4 January, Brawl Pass Plus was added, being a different version of the premium Brawl Pass with better rewards.

    • Starr Drops start with a Rare Rarity and have four upgrade chances.
