Brawl Stars CandyLand Update: New Brawlers, Skins, Starr Road, Chromatic Shop, More

As promised a couple of months ago, Supercell has released a major game update for Brawl Stars. Called the "CandyLand" update, the big piece of news about it first broke when the devs revealed that a game-changing move was set to take place: Boxes were being removed from the game.

Little did we know that it could only snowball from there. The devs wanted to reduce the probabilities and randomness that many players face when playing Brawl Stars. So, they implemented several new features such as the Starr Road and Chromatic Shop to introduce more certainty and actionable goals.

In addition to these, there were new additions such as the Fame rank, new skins, brawlers, Gears, and currency changes.

There's a lot to unpack in the CandyLand update, so here's a breakdown of everything that came with it.

Brawl Stars CandyLand Update - New Brawlers

Three brawlers were introduced in the CandyLand update of Brawl Stars: Mandy, Chester, and Gray.

• Mandy is a Chromatic brawler who will be available as a Brawl Pass reward in the January season of Brawl Stars. She's a damage-dealing sharpshooter and has the longest range in the game.
• Chester is a Legendary brawler who is arguably one of the most unique brawlers the devs have released in a long time. His basic attacks follow a logic pattern while his Super is capable of providing different abilities each time, making him the first brawler in the game to do so.
• Gray is a Mythic brawler that comes with a Super that allows him to create teleportation portals on the map. He can be unlocked by completing a Special Quest.

Check out the details of each of these brawlers below:

Brawl Stars CandyLand Update - Starr Road

All Boxes were removed from Brawl Stars in the CandyLand update. Following this, the Starr Road was introduced as a replacement system.

It's essentially a reward track that allows you to unlock brawlers in Brawl Stars. It enables you to target specific brawlers you don't currently own in the game according to rarity. You can work to obtain these brawlers by collecting a new in-game currency called 'Credits.'

Brawl Stars CandyLand Update - Chromatic Shop

The Chromatic Shop is a new shop in Brawl Stars that allows you to specifically unlock Chromatic brawlers. You can purchase them with a new in-game currency called 'Chroma Credits.'

This shop is a great alternative for free-to-play players to get these brawlers without paying real money to get them in the Brawl Pass.

Brawl Stars CandyLand Update - Fame

Fame is a new cosmetic to show other players how far you've progressed in Brawl Stars. It will be visible on your player profile and Home Screen.

How it works is simple. If you have unlocked all the brawlers in Brawl Stars, all the Credits you earn for the Starr Road will be added to your Fame rank. You can increase your rank by collecting more Credits or purchasing more Fame with Chroma Credits.
