Brawl Stars 2025 Update Transforms Gameplay with New Brawlers, Modes, and Massive Trophy Road Overhaul

Listeners should be aware that Brawl Stars has seen significant changes and news leading into July 2025. Most recently, Supercell released a major balance update on June 12, 2025, shaking up gameplay across Brawl Arena and other modes. This update targeted many popular Brawlers for nerfs, including Kenji, whose Hypercharge now charges even slower and has lost its knock-up ability. Janet’s damage boost on level-up was sharply reduced from 9 percent to 4 percent, and Ash and Jacky saw both health and damage bonuses cut. Brawlers like Jae-yong and Clancy also experienced reductions to their performance, with Clancy notably losing passive synergy with robots. These nerfs aim to create a more competitive and strategic meta by reducing the dominance of certain characters and balancing out less-used Brawlers[1].

On June 21, 2025, Supercell revealed a sweeping update that many are calling one of the largest in the history of Brawl Stars. The Trophy Road was completely overhauled, now stretching up to 100,000 trophies, and introduces new themed zones such as Town Square and Retropolis. Rare and Super Rare Brawlers can now only be unlocked through this expanded progression system, which also offers rewards like Coins, Power Points, Starr Drops (including Hypercharged variants), and additional Brawlers. Two new Brawlers, Alli and Trunk, were unveiled. Alli is a Mythic Assassin who moves faster near low-health enemies and can turn invisible with her Super, which also inflicts damage based on the enemy's remaining HP. Trunk is an Epic Tank designed around a main spinning attack and a Super that buffs teammates by leaving behind ants.

Several new game modes were also added. Dodge Brawl is a dodgeball-style match rewarding points for hitting enemies with the ball, with the first team to ten points winning. Knight Fight is a medieval variant of Capture the Flag, requiring players to transport a Trophy back to base. Token Run offers gameplay inspired by UNO, where players collect tokens in sequence but cannot jump while holding a token[3].

Looking at the broader roadmap, listeners should expect ongoing collaborations with other intellectual properties throughout 2025, bringing special limited-time events to the game. However, Supercell has emphasized a commitment to delivering ongoing quality-of-life changes and permanent features in addition to collaborations. Improvements will include performance enhancements, bug fixes, and easier Brawler selection in Ranked matches, with these quality-of-life upgrades rolling out in every update throughout the year[4].

For the current season, starting July 17, the new Ranked Pro Pass will feature an exclusive Dynamike skin that evolves with Chromas and visual effects, adding more reasons for competitive players to engage with the game[3].

Overall, the landscape of Brawl Stars in July 2025 is defined by major gameplay balance changes, ambitious updates to progression and content, and a clear focus from Supercell on both innovative features and longstanding player feedback[1][3][4].
