A brand-new Brawl Talk from Supercell has dropped, unveiling an exciting time-bending Brawler, a revamped ranked system, 12 fresh Hypercharges, and much more in Brawl Stars. Here’s a complete breakdown of the update.
New Brawlers: Finx & Lumi Join Brawl Stars
The February 2025 Brawl Talk introduced two upcoming Brawlers set to shake up the battlefield.
Finx
Inspired by the legendary Sphinx, Finx runs Starr Park’s escape room and brings time-manipulating abilities to combat. His Chronocast attack fires three projectiles, with the middle one dealing extra damage. Meanwhile, his Time Wrap Super slows down enemy projectiles while boosting ally speed.
Finx’s Gadget, Finxture, allows him to rewind to his previous position with restored ammo, while his Hieroglyph Halt Star Power reduces enemy reload speed. His second Star Power, Primer, extends his Super’s duration when hitting enemies.
Lumi
Lumi, the second member of the Mad Evil Manor trio, wields Dual Morning Stars, which damage enemies both when thrown and recalled. Her Blast Beat Super slams the ground three times, rooting opponents on the final impact.
Lumi’s Gadgets provide strategic advantages, either inflicting burn damage or freezing enemies. Her Star Powers can either slow foes or create burning zones after using her Super.
New Hypercharges
Twelve Brawlers are receiving new Hypercharges in two waves. Some of the most notable power-ups include:
- Carl’s Flamespin – Leaves a trail of fire during his Super.
- Mandy’s Sugar for All – Fires her Super in three directions.
- Bea’s Protect the Queen – Doubles her Super’s spread.
- Bo’s Catch a Bear – Deploys five mines instead of three.
Other Brawlers, including Mr. P, Lola, and Sam, are also getting major upgrades.
Ranked Mode Overhaul & Pro Pass
The Ranked System is getting a long-awaited revamp, offering better rewards and monthly rotating game modes. Players can dive deeper into the details in our Brawl Stars Ranked System Overhaul guide.
Additionally, each season will allow players to test three fully maxed-out Brawlers, starting with Emz, Gene, and Leon.
The update also introduces the Pro Pass, a progression system similar to the Brawl Pass, featuring both free and premium tracks. The paid Pro Pass includes:
600 gems
Coins & Cosmetics
The first upgradable skin, Astral Colt, with multiple visual enhancements
Brawl Stars x UNO Collaboration
For a limited time, Brawl Stars is teaming up with UNO to introduce a special game mode and an exclusive Chester skin. Players can collect and play UNO cards, triggering effects like banning enemy attacks or boosting power cubes.
Additional Features & Skins
- 29 New Skins, including Carnaval Mandy, Dark Knight Lumi, and Jurassic Finx.
- Trio Showdown becomes a permanent game mode.
- Gadgets switch from limited uses to cooldown-based activation.
- A new daily login system grants free rewards, with a streak tracker that visually upgrades over time. Players can miss days without losing progress but can use gems to maintain streaks.
The first Pro Pass season launches on Feb 25, coinciding with the Dark Sands Brawl Pass, featuring mummy-themed skins. Expect more updates, skins, and features throughout the year!
