With the start of Season 20 looming in Brawl Stars, Supercell has decided to prepare for its arrival by releasing a fresh set of balance changes.

The upcoming season will be one of the biggest updates the game has ever seen. It will add two new brawlers (Pearl and Chuck), exciting skins, and the highly-anticipated Hypercharge ability.

As such monumental additions are being introduced to the game, it is fair that buffs and nerfs were applied to brawlers to accommodate them.

That said, here is everything you need to know about the recent Brawl Stars balance changes.

The September balance changes contain various buffs and nerfs that affect brawlers.

Bibi, Buster, Byron, Edgar, Fang, Hank, Leon, Mandy, Nani, Piper, Sandy, and Willow were buffed.

  • If you're looking for the best possible controller to use for Brawl Stars, we recommend using a Razer Kishi mobile game controller that will give you an edge over your opponents.

Meanwhile, only Bonnie, Crow, Squeak, Tara, and Tick were nerfed.

Here is an overview of the balance changes in September 2023:

As Supercell usually releases balance changes to Brawl Stars every month, players can expect a new set of buffs and nerfs to be announced in October.

Though it is still quite early to predict what we could see in next month's balance changes, the most likely target is the Hypercharge ability.

As it will be fully launched in Season 20, we could see the Brawl Stars team work on ensuring that it is neither too overpowered nor underpowered.
