Everything Announced at Brawl Stars Brawl Talk April 2026

Brawl Stars April 18 Brawl Talk had a lot of news to unpack. This was an eventful episode with the reveal of the next three upcoming Brawlers, new seasonal events, skins, and more. Here is a list of everything that went down in the new episode of Brawl Talk.

New Brawler: Damian

The first reveal of Brawl Stars Brawl Talk April 2026 was Damian. We already got to know about him from several official Damian posters and the new Brawl Stars x Electric Callboy heavy metal song. He is the 103rd Brawler who will be released later this month. He is the third member of the MadEvil Trio, a heavy-metal band featuring Draco and Lumi.

His main attacks consist of throwing short punches in front of him. Every third successive punch knocks the enemy backward and sets them on fire. This makes them explode, dealing area damage. If you use his super, he will jump on the target location to create a barricaded zone where enemies can't escape unless they destroy the barricades. These barricades look like speakers, blending very well with his heavy metal theme. His hypercharge sets the floor on fire whenever he creates lands using his zone.

New Brawler: Starr Nova

Starr Nova is actually a girl who is hired as a cosplayer for the Starr Toons Studio. Since she cosplays as the character called Starr Nova, she believes she really is her. She will be released in May with the upcoming Brawl Stars Starr Patrol season.

Her attack hits all enemies in a straight line in front of her, dealing damage to all enemies caught in it. Her super makes her dash forward to deal damage to all enemies in her path with a sword. She transforms into a new form for a few seconds, where she attacks only with her sword, healing herself on every hit.

New Brawler: Bolt

Bolt is a giant ball from the Battle Busters toy line. He has a unique ability where he picks up speed as long as he moves (indicated by a blue bar underneath him). The faster he goes, the more damage he does. Bolt will be released in June with the Brawl Stars Brawl Strikers season.

When he attacks, he curls into a rolling ball that deals damage on hitting enemies. This has an ammo count of two shots. If you use his super, he starts moving faster in his ball form, having increased damage reduction. As he moves, he leaves a trail behind that damages enemies.

Bling Rework

The highly anticipated Brawl Stars Bling rework will finally arrive with the next update. It will overhaul the look and UI of the shop, which will now feature new tabs like Featured Offers, Starr Nova, Oddities Shop, and Resources.

The Juju Oddities Shop will provide many Bling offers that provide discounted deals on Mythic and Legendary skin sets. To help you unlock new skins more consistently, since you won't get them from Drops and Boxes anymore, you will now get more Bling from Mega Quests and a free track of the Brawl Pass

Skin Changes

Several new changes regarding skins will be coming with the next Brawl Stars update. New mythic skins will come equipped with new takedown effects, along with legendary skins having both a spawn and takedown effect. However, all player icons, pins, and sprays connected to mythic and legendary skins will soon be removed. Remember that these changes only apply to new skins to be released from now on.

Starr Patrol Season

Speaking of new skins, the next Brawl Stars May 2026 season will be called the Starr Patrol season, inspired by superhero anime like My Hero Academia. Starr. To celebrate this season in style, a new Brawl Stars x My Hero Academia collab will take place. Its Brawl Pass will introduce new skins like:

• Starr Patrol Spike, Starr Guardian Spike, Starr Scout Spike, Void Colette, White Dwarf Colette, Black Hole Colette (Brawl Pass)
• Starr Patrol Juju, Starr Patrol Bea, Starr Patrol Amber, Void Master Finx (Bling shop)
• All Might El Primo, Tomura Shigaraki Gus, Uraravity Janet, Deku Fang, Bakugo Edgar.

Additionally, a new season-long event modifier will also be active, where you can find crystals in matches to transform into one of the Starr Patrol girls. Each of them has a different skin and will have different abilities as well. Additionally, a new 5v1 boss battle will take place where you and your friends must take down Void Colette and Void Finx

Brawl Strikers season

The Brawl Stars June 2026 season will be called Brawl Strikers, based around the theme of sports and football. As such, this season will feature a Brawl Stars x Adidas collab, which will feature these new skins that all have the iconic Adidas three-stripe logo design:

• Super Ball Gene, Keeper Gene, Score Stopper Gene, Super Ball Cark, Striker Carl, Kicker Carl (Brawl Pass)
• Refreeple, Super Striker Lou, Score Keeper Surge, Gridiron Otis (Bling shop)

A new Super Ball game mode will also be introduced. This is a new form of Brawl Ball where each team now has an AI-controlled goalkeeper. You can attack him to stun him, preventing him from defending your shots. To help you have more fun, you will be able to hold the attack button to charge the ball and shoot it further. It will also deal damage if it directly hits an enemy.

To further enhance your sports experience in the game, the developers have changed some of the logic behind ball and puck movement that will be reflected in Brawl Ball and Brawl Hockey, respectively.

New Buffies

As per the Brawl Stars April Brawl Talk, all buffies will now be split into trio machines, from where you can get specific buffies for members of the trio. This should make it easier for you to get buffies you actually want. Moreover, you will now get one free buffie from a random trio at the start of every season.

Here are some of the new buffies to be introduced in the next few updates:

• Griff: Piggybank (gadget), Coin Shower (gadget), Keep the Change (star power), Business Resilience (star power), Tax Rebate (hypercharge)
• Colette: Na Ah (gadget), Gotcha (gadget), Push It (star power), Mass Tax (star power), Teen Spirit (hypercharge)
• Edgar: Let's fly (gadget), Hardcore (gadget), Hard Landing (star power), Fisticuffs (star power), Outburst (hypercharge)
