Brawl Stars is the game that keeps on giving. Whether they’re adding maps created by the community, or adding new characters to play with, you are never short of things to do.

New Character – Bibi

There are 26 brawlers on Brawl Stars, all of which have different attacks and require unique play styles. Bibi is another character for players to get used to, but she fits the recent trend of close-range melee combat.

The last character added to Brawl Stars was Rosa, and she was received negatively. This time around, Supercell aimed to release a more balanced character and entertain the community with new attacks. Bibi’s super involves launching a giant bouncy ball of bubble gum. This ball lasts around three seconds and can hit the enemy multiple times

As of right now Bibi is available from the store for a hefty sum of 170 gems. The only other way to get Bibi is blind luck from the chests, so unless you have a stockpile I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

New Skins

The new skins in this update came with some groans from the community. Supercell doesn’t seem to have a policy regarding balancing the number of skins per character. Several characters still have no skins, whereas other characters like Barley and Brock now have four.

The new skins included in this update are:

  • Hot Rod Brock
  • Bake Sale Barley
  • Road Rage Carl
  • Maple Barley (Canada soft launch anniversary skin)

New Maps

The new maps included aren’t just new environments for us to run around in, but there is a new theme to enjoy as well. They have introduced a Retropolis theme to several maps, meaning they have now been
“Retrofied”. As well as new maps and a new theme, there is new music to enjoy in the game, which makes sitting in the loading screen a marginally more enjoyable experience.

Bug fixes

Lastly, there were several bug fixes introduced with the update, most of which are aimed once again at Rosa. They have reduced her super duration to three seconds, and she now needs ten hits to charge it. Also, her attack radius has been adjusted to better represent her range.

Other fixes included some tweaks to Carl, including seriously reducing the time needed to wait before you can throw your pickaxe after it hits a wall. The other notable tweak was to Frank whose super now stuns the Siege base for the full duration.
