Brawlers Pierce and Glowy Get Major Boosts in Brawl Stars New Hypercharges Update

Brawl Stars have released 2 new Hypercharges for Pierce and Glowy. Announced on March 24, 2026, the update also includes the return of Loaded Showdown mode. Community feedback shows that both Hypercharges are extremely effective, with some Brawl Stars players even calling them “game-breaking.” That said, here's everything you must know about the Brawl Stars new Hypercharges update.

What Brawl Stars Hypercharges Were Announced?

This update on Pierce and Glowy adds crowd control, area denial, and the ability to do a lot of damage. These Hypercharges feel especially strong in the current meta, where burst damage and field control dominate.

Players who can time them correctly will easily swing modes like Gem Grab or Brawl Ball in their favor.

What is Pierce Hypercharge?

• The Brawl Stars Pierce Hypercharge “Second Wave” modifies his Super to fire two waves of projectiles instead of one.
• While the second wave deals reduced damage, all projectiles gain a piercing effect, allowing them to hit multiple enemies.

It's arguably one of the strongest additions in the update. Pierce was already considered a high-tier brawler due to his consistent damage output. With this Hypercharge, he becomes a nightmare for tanky brawlers. The penetrating feature makes it hard for enemies to get out of his Super zone, especially when it is combined with slow effects.

That said, it must be timed and placed correctly. The second wave might not be as strong if the enemies move out quickly. Pierce's Hypercharge still seems almost too strong when used in a coordinated way.

What is Glowy Hypercharge?

• The Brawl Stars Glowy “You Need a Friend” turns his Super into a 360-degree fear effect.
• Enemies hit are forced into a panic state and take 25% increased damage from all sources.

This Brawl Stars Glowy Hypercharge can disrupt enemy positioning. A well-timed move can stop pushes and protect teammates during crucial moments. Glowy's Hypercharge isn't focused on raw damage like Pierce's, but it is useful for players who work together, as players can use the fear effect to their advantage.

As is evident, the Brawl Stars new Hypercharges update could disrupt the meta once again. Hence, it is advised that you check out our coverage of the best Glowbert builds to stay ahead of the pack.
