Brawl Stars Version 25.96 Guide

New Brawler: Mr. P

Mr. P is a penguin luggage handler who throws suitcases at his enemies, and can summon robotic porters to help him.

• Primary Attack: Your Suitcase Sir! – “Fires a projectile that can jump over walls and enemies, dealing area damage behind them after landing”
• Super Ability: P-Porters Attack! – “Places a spawning station that spawns mini-penguins with a ranged attack. Only one mini penguin can be active at a time”
• Star Power: Handle With Care – “Mr. Pr’s overstuffed suitcases bounce and burst even if they don’t hit a target or obstacle”
• Star Power: Tin Can – “The robo-porters’ home base has +3000 more health”

New Environment: The Arcade

The Arcade is a brand new environment that features evil robots and stuff.

New Game Mode: Hot Zone!

Hot Zone is a brand new mode that challenges you to hold zones on a map to gain points, with the team with the most points over two minutes winning the match.

Enemy brawlers can enter the hot zone at any moment, preventing you from gathering points. If you leave the zone while gaining a point, the process is interrupted.

The final 30 seconds provides double points.
