Balance Changes, HYPERCHARGE, & ALL Skin Effects! 

Edgar's health also got buffed from 6000 to 6600 considering the level change(4950>4500)

5:51 Currently, if you're at level 7 against someone at level 11, you have a 15.4% statistical disadvantage (health and damage). With scaling, that disadvantage will become 42.6%. It's like being level 2 against a level 10 right now. Now, we have a 5% improvement over base statistics, and with scaling, each level is a 10% improvement over the base. The disadvantage is trivial, as each brawler gains more for each improvement, it harms lower-level brawlers.

For some reason the wastelands skin set fits really well at the returning seige gamemode

All I can imagine now is Shelly absolutely annihilating the boss test 😮

THINK ABOUT IT, in big game if you press the hypercharge button with Shelly you spam the super and theres no way that the boss can escape. You automatically win

If you think about it, nerdy squeak actually has a very small nerf, because of the attack animation, enemys can now see exactly how long they have before it explodes

Balance changes are always my favourite part of the updates.

Looking at what Supercell did with the card evolution system in CR, I'm still not sure what to think of hypercharge and whether it was even needed 😬

a Sandy buff is crazy

We definitely need a coins buff after this update. I have a question though, can we get the profile icons and pins and sprays which come with hypercharge for bling or not?

If there's one thing I'm a bit iffy on, it's gotta be the fact that these 6 brawlers are pretty much going to be the only playable brawlers until the next hypercharges released. Additionally, I'm kind of irritated that you have to wait 2 weeks if you don't want to spend an extra 4600 coins on cosmetics for F2P players. Overall, good job Supercell.

Fang's super damage buff is scary with his 1st Star Power

Brawl talk being #1 on Trending is CRAZY.

I think the level scaling changes will be detrimental for the F2P player base, and it will encourage P2W grinding and splurging in order to gain a HUGE unfair advantage over most other enemy players.

@KairosGaming, at 8:09, you said that Mandy has an 8% nerf to her attack damage. I think you meant she got buffed by 8%.

I feel like Colt is going to be insanely good with this update. Since Hypercharges stay active when you hit shots I feel like Colts speedloader gadget along with the fact that he can now have 4 of them will make him insanely strong.

Bro hypercharge is interesting but idk if its gonna fit for now. Hyped to see what happens in the future

14:25 KT, that shockwave is your starpower. (Hard Landing)

Hank doesn’t need those buffs all he needs is to be able to heal

Me after Shelly's super charge buff: Supercell possibly can't make her more dumb broken. Supercell: 3:10

The hyper charge indicator on brawlers is Fire 😮

Balance changes is the other thing that makes me really exited on new updates. I'm looking forward for those hypercharge and want to see how it will effect the meta

I hope we get a small gold buff since the hyper charges are so expensive, that way we can actually afford to buy and use them.

Even though the 10% buff to all upgrades for brawlers isn't necessarily changing anything,am i the only one that feels really weird about it?just seeing the brawlers with almost double hp and dmg is SO weird,i know no interactions change but it'll be weird to the eye for quite a while.Gonna take some getting used to.

Thanks SO MUCH kairos. You go into every single little thing in the sneek peeks as much in detail as you can. And unlike other creators, you show us everything you are allowed to.

I think hypercharge should charge only when you got your super. This way it will be more obvious that people are preparing their hypercharge.

The gadget gear sounds interesting!

My first thought about shelly hyper charge is that you can perma lock the boss in either bossfight or big game modes lol

Thank you Kairos for explaining each and everything in detail. Very much excited for the update!

For Hanbok Mandy, the heart comes from a signature hand gesture in South Korea where they make a heart with their pointer and thumb

Update hype!! Always going for your update sneek peeks first! Hypercharge might be really good or bad, just gotta wait for your update review. Thanks for making quality content for us and being the voice of the community in general Kairos!

14:07 that YEAH!

Im wondering what Stu Hypercharged will look like 😬

Buffing Fang is insane bcuz I've been seeing Fangs popping off for the past like month. I'm not happy about the buffs and nerfs from this patch at all tbh. If Edgar did get more health then I'm happy about that but still overall bad balances imo. The Hyper charge stuff looks really cool and actually all the other changes. Only disliked the buffs and nerfs

Hopefully hypercharge isn’t gonna be totally broken and expensive… looking at you CR.

TLDW: HYPERCHARGE: Unlockable at P11 Charged the way normal super is charged, but it takes 2.5x longer How to tell if a brawler has hypercharge charged, and if they have their normal super charged with it: 0:27 - 0:38 Tappable button(like a gadget) Speed buff, Dmg buff, Shield(dmg reduction from enemies) buff **Exact buffs depend one each brawler** Hypercharge is only available for 6 brawlers for now: Shelly, Colt, Bull, Jackie, Spike, Pearl(new brawler) |____> Shelly Hypercharge: Super becomes 33% wider & number of pellets are increased by 33%(at point blank, 66% more dmg with super!!!) | Colt Hypercharge: Super becomes 120% wider | Jackie Hypercharge: Super slows down enemies for 1.5s | Bull Hypercharge: 80% dmg reduction from enemies while in his super(50,000 dmg needed to kill him mid-super) | Spike Hypercharge: Super becomes 20% wider | Pearl Hypercharge: Unrevealed FOR NOW, so SUBSCRIBE to Kairos and turn on notif bell for future video Hyphercharges last only 5 seconds after using it, but if you do anything that charges your super, you can increase the duration of how long you stay hypercharged: (See 3:09 for satisfaction and an example) 5000 coins to purchase and the hypercharges will be released individually throughout a week after the update, but you can get them 2 weeks early by purchasing the collector's packs that include not only the hypercharge, but a very cool pin, spray, and an animated icon: (See 4:14). Collector's packs are purchasable with 299 gems or 9600 coins. In October, they will enable Starr drops to drop hypercharges and you don't even need to be P11 to get them.

Seems crazy to me that if we don’t care about cosmetics, we’re forced to either waste 4600 coins or wait 2 weeks. Also the stats increased for each level will only make the game less f2p friendly, 10% by level is the same as cr, and we all know how painful it is to have such a disadvantage

My only gripe is that I have to get used to a whole new set of numbers for brawlers' HP, damages, etc. Gotta know how to calculate those things quickly in-game, too.

I'm insanely excited for the skins

I think they should change hypercharges to be like in Overwatch with ultimates. You can’t charge your ultimate while you’re using it. It feels like some brawlers could remain hypercharged for a long time in a fight which would make it really unenjoyable to play against.

I'm so excited for every part of this update, especially the new 33% buff for every brawler. But I'm confused about something, what happened to the trail of fire from Jock Stu? From what I can see, it only lasts for a while

*looks at Shelly’s hypercharged super* Boss Fight: my time has come 💀

My initial impression of hypercharge is that it would end up being the same as Clash Royale's Evolutions (the purple colour played a part in that), where it would be gamebreaking and pay to win. But hypercharges seems slightly more balanced than that, but they don't seem that interesting... gadgets star powers and supers are all unique buffs that make the characters feel different and play different and serve different roles, but hypercharge is kinda all the same, you're just stronger.

2:53 bro predicted the future

I'm so excited for this update! Thank you so much for the amazing video Kairos!

Bro I'm so hyped about this update, also thx for these update videos man i didn't even know ab the hyper-charges, i just thought they were gonna be skins so i didnt bother to look up on them xD

Balance changes are interesting. Can't wait for the update. Thanks for always covering brawl news Kairos

Something totally different, idk if it was pure chance of not. But since the day before yesterday I’ve gotten 5 drops total. The first drop was a legendary, the second was mythic, then epic, super rare, and just today it was rare. I think there might be some sort of “rotation” on which rarity of drops u get. Also, from all drops I got specific brawler stuff from. (Sp, spray, gadget, skin etc) all of them Thusfar have been of Janet which I find odd aswell.

Its so weird seeing all brawlers with so much more hp now

I remember Frank saying that the devs wanted people to have mains. Maybe it’s so expensive so players will only have them for 1-3 brawlers

The skins are arguably one of the best we've gotten in an update

That's why they removed bounty, hot zone and heist! If you had Colt with hypercharge+ Spike + Bull the enemy team was done for it

I mean I dont know what was supercell thinking to make the hypercharge for 5000 gold which is like out of reach and impossible for a F2P player. But still, this update is pretty cool!🎉🎉

15:39: no, Mandy is not blowing a kiss, she’s making the Korean symbol of love with her hands. It’s suppose to look like the bottom of a heart

I feel like all these “stat” changes (hypercharge, the gadget gear and balance changes) might shake up the meta quite a bit, curious to see how that plays out in game!

9:34 "JhHhUuuUsTtt a little bit harder" 😩😩😩

L update

This will change everything… even more than Bo’s mines going from 4 to 3… that’s big 😮

for free2play players like me we can get more coins by putting all our brawler to marstery1/9 300 so we get coins fast and they should add a way to test gadget/gear/hypercharge before buying

what do you think I should do bye current brawl pass or wait for the next one(i think next one will be more profitable)?

Now that they also decreased by almost half the rewards from playing Club Games and there are almost no chance of getting gadget/star power from boxes/drops, I think the 5000 coins per hypercharge is ridiculous. Just from level 10 to 11: - 2800 to level up - 1000* gadgets - 2000* start powers - 2000* for two gears - 5000 for hypercharge for a total of 12800 coins! *minimum to get a signle complete brawler.

Great video as always! I hate to be the guy that raises his finger and adjust his glasses but at 8:08 you said nerf instead of buff. Anyway amazing content

I think there's a lil error at 7:50 you said Mandy is getting a 8 % nerf to her damage and followed with she'll need one less ammo to finish some brawlers 😊

I don't know how to feel about the update and how will the game be affected by hypercharges.

I like how monsters university is just a cannon brawl stars skin line

A really interesting update. Balance changes are spot on as I am a fan of small buffs & nerfs rather than big ones. HYPERCHARGE is a controversial mechanic. The damage, speed and shield buff sounds like an energy drink. Supercell should think about it. The new gadget gear is going to be a really strong gear. I would like to use it over other gears on shelly, Poco, carl, Rico, Dynamike, Grom, Surge, Ruffs, Bull, jacky, doug, byron, crow, sam, maybe rosa, Edgar, Penny, Gus, Tara, Leon, Collette, lou, cordelius, emz, squeak, maisie, eve maybe, pam, buster, frank, Mortis, Sandy, Gray & Ash. Due to stats buff, shield gear should also get similar buff. I believe with 600 more hp, it is going to be never used over health gear except for brawlers barley, piper, bea, byron, spike & tick. Shield gear: 600->800 hp buff. Tick is going to be an interesting one as it also received a nerf. Maybe the best build for tick might change. Meta has totally shaked.

2 questions: 1: if you die will keep your hyper charge like your super? 2: will you be able to use hyper charge in friendly battles and challenges since your brawlers get maxed out?

12:35 epic attack effects im definitely getting this skin

Thanks for explaining everything!

10:58 199 Gems for that Hank skin is crazy 💀

I love how all the buffs are either to tanks, brawlers who support tanks, and brawlers which are countered by tanks

Kairos if you see this could you consider mentioning this idea to supercell, say you get a new brawler and you were excited to get them so you put a bunch of resources into that brawler but then after playing them for a day or two you don’t like them and you just wasted all of your Resources on leveling them up. There should be a way to undo that and get your resources back while the brawlers power level goes back down, but only within like the first week you unlocked them so you can’t do it anytime. This would be very helpful for free to play players 👍

It would be great to get a quick video on a single top gear recommendation for each brawler since I just had like 50 brawlers have a gear slot open up.

Kairos gonna have to redo all the olympics

15:18 hanbok, not “hann-bak” 😅 its hard to explain in text, but basically the han part is like saying the end of “chan”, and bok is said like the bo in “boring” and then adding a “k” sound at the end (한복) as a korean person and avid fan of this channel i just felt like correcting, i hope this doesn’t come across as too confusing or rude. if anyone has a better explanation feel free to comment XP i really love the lunar new year skins this year though! mandy’s is so cool and the sailor moon-esque janet skin rly makes sense :0 she would totally be a magical girl in an anime

8:08 you said nerf but Mandy actually got buffed xD

I have mixed feelings about hypercharge. Firts of all, the fact that only six brawlers are receiving them will completely destroy the meta, and I don't think it will be fun to play an entire season like this. Moreover, if they continue to add six every season, it will take years for all brawlers to have one. On the other hand, it's cool to finally see a new mechanic in the game, but I feel like it's not that unique. I mean, there is a stat boost (the values change, but that's not enough to make them distinct) and a boost to the super that is so basic and boring in my opinion. The super just gets a little improved and that's it. I really wanted a new type of mechanic, but this is quite disappointing for me. Hypercharge are too simple, especially for how much they cost (there is already a coin shortage, 5000 coins is too much), and will completely ruin the meta for this season and probably for the next few. I am really hoping for some changes.

Buster and fang get buffs? LET'S GOO! will they buff the shield gear with the update with the damage and the heal increase ?

Brawl stars needs to bring back the resistance gear because there's brawlers who stun (poison and the other brawlers that reduce HP regen / attack damage /healing reduce) feels longer and will be use full now after they got removed and replaced by the vision but keep vision still it's good that who ever uses it and has it equip everyone can see them in bushes4:52

Lunar Janet got the looks like a magical girl, the sailor MOON part, and does the DIO pose when defeated. I'd say that's nerd, but Nerd Squeak has a pi pin on his backpack

Please make a video on what all brawlers should the +1 gear is good to have.

I just noticed the buttons on the bottom left with the skins showcases. Interesting. 👀

Finally, they buffed most of my favourite brawlers such as Fang, Buster, Willow, and Sandy 😆

15:07 "I am the pretty guardian who fights for love and justice! I am Lunar Janet! And in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"

To be more accurate, Colt's Super when hypercharged is only 20% wider, not 120%. If they worded it, right it should be "Colt's Super width is 120% wide."

Brawl Acadamy Skins actually Inspired from Monster University movie 👊😁 😏

I got so confused when you said mandy damage nerf when its 100 more at base level, obviously you meant buff since you said 'she can take down x brawlers in less ammo' and it was in the buff section of the video

15:18 Not to be that guy but, Hanbok is pronounced “Hahn-Bohk” 😅 It just kind of bugged me that he pronounced it that way but no big deal… 😅😅

My only concern is that they need to buff the star powers that give specific stat buffs such as demolition or sponge or shield gear to balance it out with the higher stats of brawlers

Nerd squeak looks awesome! I can’t wait to have that skin, being a squeak main I think it’s opening a whole new door for squeak skins.

I feel like hypercharge should not give stat buff But like passive buff Keep the super buff and add these for example For shelly narrower attack(like clay pigeon) Colt decrease the bullet but increase the damage of each bullet Bull increase speed and give damage reduction Jacky increase reload speed and attack unleashed all her ammo instantly Spike the split attack is bigger and travel more distance This will make hypercharge more interesting and make it less nesesary because it is essantially a gadget and starpower combined rather than a streng enchancer

Ngl hypercharge will make a lot of characters op for big game like bull

How in the world is Scorpion Willow only a 79 gem skin? I swear supercell is getting more generous with every update… to the point where the old 149 skins are pretty bad value. They should take another look at some of those prices for the skins that came out earlier in Brawls life cycle.

15:19 just so you know for the future Kairos, the “han” part of hanbok is pronounced like you would say “Hans” (like the character from frozen) without the s ;)

12:59 i LOVE the dice now

Supercell after adding some of the craziest stat boosts and abilities for only a select few brawlers and then wondering why they became broken 💀

Hi Kairos, when will start getting more brawl theories?

8:07 mandy gets buffed and nerfed? which one is it

12:58 another proof that supercell promovates toxicity on BS

Here are my concerns with the update: (with the understanding that obviously it has not come out yet and none of us have played it, and balance changes may change things): TL:DR: (for easy reading) 1. stat increase buff will be more P2W and increase skill curve, and not in a fun way, forcing more spending on leveling 2. Hypercharge....could be strong? and costs much for F2P, especially if leveling becomes at the same time more important 3. Removal of popular modes. (and now in more detail): 1. Going from 5% to 10% stat increase with levels further increases the gap between levels in terms of stats and makes the difference between a level 1 and a level 11 greater. That increases the skill level required to counter higher level players and thus makes the game more difficult for those who don't have the resources to level aggressively (and now must save resources to deal with hypercharge costs as well). 2. Hypercharge could be frighteningly good and have an unknown effect upon the game, especially if players can only get it in the first 2 weeks with a large amount of coins and only six brawlers have hypercharge. We don't know what it will do, but I have worry for what it might end up becoming, given that already strong brawlers like shelly and spike are acquiring hypercharges. Further, 9600 coins is a lot for F2P and while that won't be a problem in 2 weeks it is a further wall. Folks like me are now frantically grinding the current coin event to get as much as we can. I don't think it's a coincidence that many folks are comparing it to evolutions from CR or arguing it is a heavy step towards pay-to-win despite the coin cost (which is as an F2P player unfriendly imo at least at 9000+ and even at 5k difficult. 3. Removing a lot of popular modes. As others have pointed out, it reduces map diversity and correspondingly will likely reduce brawler diversity (less maps, less chances for brawlers who work well on specific maps to be viable). Further I just like some of the modes that are going away. That in conjunction with hypercharge and levels being more valuable, further constrains brawler choice and usage.
