In October 2024, Brawl Stars introduced significant updates enhancing gameplay and progression systems.
Trophy System Overhaul:
- New Tier Structure: The Trophy system was revamped to include 50 tiers, with the highest being ‘Max’ at 1000 Trophies. Players now advance a tier for every 20 Trophies earned, streamlining progression. Sportskeeda
- Seasonal Resets: Brawlers exceeding 1000 Trophies reset to 1000 at each season’s end, aligning Trophy Seasons with Brawl Pass seasons. Brawlers below 1000 Trophies remain unaffected by resets. Sportskeeda
- Season Trophies: Upon reaching 1000 Trophies with a Brawler, players earn Season Trophies, contributing to the new Trophy Box rewards. Sportskeeda
Introduction of Trophy Boxes:
- Reward System: Replacing the previous Bling rewards, Trophy Boxes offer escalating rewards across five levels: Small, Big, Mega, Omega, and Ultra. Higher-tier boxes provide better rewards, including guaranteed skins and the potential for Mythic, Legendary, or Hypercharge skins. Sportskeeda
Matchmaking and Leaderboard Enhancements:
- Unified Matchmaking Pool: Players with over 1000 Trophies are placed into a single matchmaking pool to reduce wait times. Sportskeeda
- Win Streak Tracking: Win streaks are now tracked individually for each Brawler, facilitating targeted progression. Sportskeeda
- Leaderboards: Two leaderboard types were introduced: Seasonal, resetting each season to track current performance, and All-time, recording the highest Trophy counts achieved with each Brawler. Sportskeeda
Bug Fixes and Balance Changes (October 31, 2024):
- Byron’s Healing Mechanics: Resolved issues where Byron’s attacks improperly healed allies’ pets and turrets. Sportskeeda

- Mandy’s Projectile Speed Nerf: Reduced Mandy’s projectile speed by 10%, affecting both her standard attacks and the ‘In My Sights’ star power. Sportskeeda
Community Event:
- Deadgame Event: Running until October 31, 2024, this event challenges players to achieve 20 billion takedowns collectively, offering rewards such as 10 Dead Boxes containing in-game items and cosmetics. Perigon
