Brawl Stars July 2025 Update Brings Major Gameplay Changes Trophy Road Revamp and Esports Excitement

The mobile game Brawl Stars saw significant changes and updates as of late July 2025, with Supercell rolling out scheduled maintenance on July 23 that brought notable balance adjustments, new rewards, and minor quality-of-life improvements[1]. The maintenance was anticipated heavily, with Supercell directly communicating the patch notes and main adjustments through official channels, including a focus on tweaking Angelic Abilities and offering compensation for any downtime.

A total of 16 Brawlers received balance adjustments, split evenly between buffs and nerfs. For example, Meeple now has increased max health, attack damage, and a faster reload speed—specifically, health rose from 3000 to 3200, base attack from 1200 to 1260, and reload reduced from 1900 to 1800. Cordelius received a base attack bump from 700 to 800, and Tick’s base attack moved from 640 to 680[1]. These changes reflect Supercell’s continued efforts to keep the meta dynamic and fair for competitive play.

Another highlight is the nerfing of Angelic Abilities, which, while not fully detailed in the search results, suggests an intention to reduce their dominance in the current game state. To compensate for the maintenance break, all players received two free Angelic Drops, directly adding value and engagement for committed listeners[1].

Beyond specific Brawler changes, the broader ecosystem of Brawl Stars continues to evolve. The Trophy Road, a longtime staple for player progression, was recently reworked to be themed after Starr Park, the in-game amusement park[4]. Progression through the Trophy Road now unlocks rewards tied to different “worlds,” each representing areas within Starr Park, with more worlds to be added over time. Rewards are more generous, including Legendary, Hypercharge, and Mythic Starr Drops, along with Power Points, Coins, Credits, and Bling. The Trophy Road itself has been extended, now ranging up to 100,000 Trophies, and rare and super rare Brawlers are exclusively unlocked through this system—not with gems[4].

On the esports front, the Brawl Stars Championship South America Monthly Finals in July had notable storylines, including roster changes for prominent teams and fresh teams making their debut. Competitive matches emphasized a meta favoring tanks and assassins, with specific Brawlers like Charlie frequently banned, reflecting top-level strategies in the global scene[2].

Looking ahead, Brawl Stars was also promoted as a major presence at San Diego Comic-Con, with a real-life Starr Park experience for fans, further blending the digital and physical worlds for players and the broader community[1].

In summary, late July 2025 has been a period of substantial gameplay refinements, increased reward accessibility, and continued development of both the competitive and community aspects of Brawl Stars. The patch shows Supercell’s commitment to balancing the game while enriching player experience through both in-game events and real-world initiatives[1][3][4].
