Brawl Stars had another balance changes update, just days after having a previous update for balancing! These changes are meant to be looked at more as usage in events as opposed to win rate with these cards…. Check out the balance changes below!

Character Balance

Shelly

Reload time increased to 1.5s (from 1.25s)
Main attack range decreased to 6.66 tiles (from 7.66 tiles)
Main attack shells are spread further apart

These changes to Shelly will make her less useful as a generalist who can survive all situations. The reload time increase will make sure she cannot fight endlessly. A bit less range and larger spread to her main attack will make her less effective at medium range and poking.

Piper

Main attack damage decreased to 440 (from 460)
Super damage decreased to 200 (from 300) per grenade

Decreasing her damage should make her a bit weaker and more manageable. We also felt that her Super was too devastating for an escape, and this should reign it in a bit.

Jessie

Main attack damage increased to 160 (from 140)
Super rate of fire improved. Scrappy (her turret) now shoots faster, time between shots to 0.25s (from 0.35s) and bullet speed increased by 33%

With Scrappy’s new charge up time, this boost makes Scrappy more powerful and versatile with more effective area control. Increasing Jessie’s main attack damage now makes her a more viable Brawler.

Crow

Both main attack and Super damage increased to 80 (from 60) per knife.
Poison damage decreased to 80 (from 90)

We found that Crow lacked great finishing power after his targets were poisoned. This buff makes Crow’s knives more deadly each time they hit.

Dynamike

Main attack damage increased to 180 (from 160) per dynamite stick
Super damage increased to 540 (from 500)
Both main attack and Super projectiles deploy faster; explode time decreased to 1.4s (from 1.5s)

We think giving him more firepower and a faster deploy time will make him more fun to use.

Barley

Main attack and Super damage increased to 140 (from 120) per tick
Main attack bottles fly 16% faster
Super bottles fly 8% faster

Beefing up his firepower should make Barley more viable in every game mode. His bottles felt a bit too slow before and now they are much punchier.

Reload time decreased to 1.7s (from 2s)

Decreasing Bo’s reload time gives him more area-denial ability and strengthens his role as a ranged, area-denial tank.

Colt

Main attack bullets fly 9% faster and range increased to 10.66 tiles (from 10 tiles)

Colt was a little bit overshadowed by Ricochet and we think these changes give his main attack a bit more punch (and his ego a little boost!)

Bull

Reload time increased to 1.6s (from 1.5s)

Giving Bull a slight increase in his reload speed will keep his attack a bit slower than Shelly’s.

Game Mode

Showdown

Power Up box damage boost decreased to 10% (from 15%) – decreasing the damage from boosts should now make end game fights last a bit longer.

So those are the full balance change update notes for this August 11th, 2017 balance change in Brawl Stars! Personally, I feel like these changes are A LOT better than the last ones that Brawl Stars released, focusing more on what characters needed to be changed as opposed to just looking at data. Thanks for reading and comment below what you think of this latest balance changes update!
