Brawl Stars February Update
Carl!
We have a brand new pickaxe wielding Brawler coming later in March!

- Pickaxe returns to Carl after reaching max distance or after hitting a wall

- Super attack: Tailspin
- Carl increases his speed and starts to whirl his Pickaxe in a 360 degree radius damaging everyone around him
- Star Power: Power Throw
- Pickaxe flight speed is increased allowing it to travel and return faster
New Game Mode – Siege!

There’s no definite name, but I’ve seen some suggestions like “I Kill Enemies” and “Industrial Killing Engine” as some decent suggestions. I guess its just an uncertainty right now!
