This title features a slew of intriguing game modes and a collection of charismatic “Brawlers” who you'll come to adore. This tips guide will push you to the top of the leaderboard and help you acquire all the trophies in the Brawl Stars world! Here are the game tips, tricks, and cheats you need to know for Brawl Stars.
1.Know Your Game Modes
There are seven main Event types: Gem Grab, Showdown, Heist, Brawl Ball, Bounty, Robo Rumble and Big Game in which you battle against other players. Each Event has a different main objective.
Gem Grab – The first mode is Gem Grab, and your team goal is to get 10 gems before the other team. You battle it out on a tiny map and it’s not as easy as it sounds to run around with as many gems as you can hold. If you die, you drop all of your gems and the enemy team can gather them up. Be strategic. It’s fast, competitive, balanced, and frustrating when you drop a handful of gems. If you have a bunch, don’t rush the enemy, please.
Showdown – Next is showdown, which is basically battle royale mode. Instead of 3v3 it's 10 brawlers all against each other, and the last brawler standing wins. Run around the map and get crates to power up and survive, shoot everything that moves, and watch out for the green gas circle that slowly surrounds you — like Fortnite.
Heist – A poplar mode is heist, mainly because it feels more like a MOBA-style game. It’s the traditional 3v3 mode where you must protect your safe at all times. While you’ll be fighting and shooting the enemy brawlers, the main goal is to try and damage the opponent’s safe in the back of the arena. It's a short 2 minute and 30-second battle perfect for mobile gaming.
Bounty - Bounty is the game's Team Deathmatch variation – just stay close to your teammates and rack up as many kills/stars alongside them. Brawl Ball is pretty much a game of soccer – keep your eye on the ball at all times, take down your foes to gain the team advantage, and clear out the breakable elements on the field with your Super to make your trip to the opposing goal less disruptive.
Brawl Ball - Brawl Ball's perfect for Brawlers who deal high damage and maneuver better than most while backed up by teammates with high HP. So this means you should stick with Brawlers such as Mortis, Crow, Bull, Bo, Mortis, and Barley.
Robo Rumble - Robo Rumble is a team game mode where three players must work together to protect a safe against multiple waves of robot enemies for the longest time possible. The game ends when the robots succeed in destroying the safe. Players will earn keys depending on how long they keep the safe intact (though trophies cannot be obtained in this game mode).
Big Game - Big Game takes one Brawler, makes them the big boss, and challenges the remaining Brawlers to take him/her out. As the boss, keeping your distance from other players is a good survival tactic in order to stay alive for as long as possible. As a regular Brawler, you’ll need to go full steam ahead as you and your team look to overwhelm the boss with a united offense.
2.Know Your Brawlers
It's all well and good understanding the game modes, but if you don't know how to make the most out of your chosen Brawler's abilities and Super attacks you might as well start waving the white flag of surrender before the round even begins.
Practice is the key here. Learn which Brawlers suit each game mode and what their toolkit is for. Don't rush in as Poco when you could be healing, but also don't hold back as El Primo when you could be soaking up damage directed at your teammates.
You'll also need to learn the range and spread of each Brawler's attacks, as some are best in face-to-face throwdowns while others are better standing back and taking pot shots from behind cover.
3.Don't Forget That You Can Hide
In the Brawl Stars arenas, there is a feature that beginners are often unaware of: hiding. Indeed, if you choose the right point, you can hide on any map and become invisible to other players. Do not confuse this with standing behind a wall: In such a case, other players may still see you. We’re talking about“disappearing”here. If you stay inside the vegetation tiles on the map, you will see that your character becomes transparent. This means that you are hiding and the opponent team players cannot see you.
You can use this feature in every game mode. Hiding opens the doors to many tactics. If there is a vegetation tile around the spawn point, you can make a surprise attack by hiding here. Or, you can choose to hide when your health is reduced. If an enemy player comes on your tile, you will be exposed. Firing will also cause you to expose. But apart from these two possibilities, you can disappear completely.
4.Auto Aim And Tracking
Brawl Stars is quite forgiving compared to other MOBAs, especially when it comes to aiming. Instead of having to manually aim your shots with the virtual stick, you can just tap it to shoot at the nearest enemy.
Don't do this.
While it's fine to spam the attack button at very close range, if there's any kind of distance between you and your target it'll most likely miss when auto aiming. This also takes the choice of who you want to attack out of your hands and sometimes you'll shoot a full health enemy rather than the one on 1HP that's holding all the Gems. All it does is shooting at the nearest enemy. In manual mode, however, you can aim exactly at the enemy you want and pick your targets.
Try to aim ahead of foes and track their movements with your shots, especially your Supers so you don't end up wasting them. You can also tap on the screen if you'd prefer, but not if you want to take advantage of the next tip…
5.Tap To Move
Brawl Stars is controlled using two virtual sticks as standard, but you can switch this in the settings to a tap to move scheme. Give both a try and see which one suits you better.
6.Attack As A Team
Solo Showdown aside, Brawl Stars is a team game and running in alone will almost always end in disaster. Attacking in numbers and picking off those out of cover is the name of the game. If you can, team up with friends or use the game's Club system to join forces with other players online. So you can communicate and share strategies in the heat of battle.
7.Watch Those Circles
Every character in a match has a blue or red circle around their feet at all times: this simply indicates which team they are on (blue is friendly, red is the enemy). If you see a second blue or red circle around a character, it means their Super attack is filled and available to use.
If they have a yellow circle around them, they have selected their Super attack and are likely about to use it. They can deselect the Super by tapping the button again, but if you see a yellow circle, assume a powerful attack is imminent. Keep in mind once you tap the button, you still have to attack to actually use the Super. This is true even for something like Poco's healing ability, which requires you to shoot since it will heal any teammates you hit. Because this yellow circle is basically a huge highlighter that screams "Super incoming!" if you want to surprise someone with your Super, try not to hit the Super button until just before you use it. You can also hit this button early without intent to use it to intimidate another player into potentially backing off.
8.Run Away
It may sound cowardly, but knowing when to retreat can sometimes be the difference between winning or losing. If you can get out of danger and stop shooting for a few seconds your Brawler will gradually regain health so you can get back into the fight fully revitalized. Similarly, if you've managed to snag a massive wad of Gems in Gem Grab or Stars in Bounty then you absolutely don't want to die! When the countdown begins for the end of the game, it's a perfectly legitimate strategy to run away and let the timer tick down to victory.
9.Check In Daily To Earn Coins
Coins are a critical part of advancing in Brawl Stars: for every 100 coins you earn, you can open a Brawl Box, which will contain either a new brawler or Elixir to upgrade your existing brawlers.
First, every time a new event is revealed—the timer in the upper-right corner of the current event shows how long until it is replaced by a new one—you will get 8 coins simply for revealing the next event. You don't even have to play a round to get this reward.
Second, playing the current events will award coins—whether you win or lose, although you get more coins for a victory—up to a certain amount. When you hit that amount (60 coins for event #1, 40 for event #2, etc.) you will stop earning coins until the next event is revealed.
Third, levelling up your account awards coins. Your account is levelled up through the EXP you earn simply by playing. Again, you win EXP whether you win or lose, and even when playing bots.
Finally, you earn coins for ranking up your brawlers. When you win a Brawl (the 3v3 mode against real players), the brawler you used will earn trophies. When they earn enough trophies, they will rank up, awarding you coins.
So, once you've earned all your coins for a current event, you can still earn coins that day by playing games and levelling up both your account and your brawlers.
10. Big Boxes And Collect Gems
You can purchase Brawl Stars loot boxes using the most precious in-game currency: gems. Unfortunately, if you're playing for free, the amount of gems you can win will be pretty low. In other words, you should not spend them for random shopping. The in-game store sells two different loot boxes: Big Box and Mega Box. If you have to choose between the two, go for Big Box, because it offers exactly the same probabilities as the Mega Box.
Mega Box offers exactly the same probabilities as the Big Box, although it is much more expensive. The only difference is that you can get more items. But you don't get better quality items – your chances of winning are still the same. Therefore, if you are purchasing a box, we recommend you to pick the Big Box.
While the battle continues, do not forget to check the bar at the upper left corner. If you still don't carry a gem when this bar is full, you need to switch to a different game style. The fact that the bar is full means that at least one of your teammates carries a large number of gems. After this stage, you should no longer be interested in collecting gems: Protect your teammates and try to attract the attention of enemies. Keep enemies away from their teammates. This tactic will give results every time you play with a team you can communicate with.
