The new season 17 of Brawl Stars, “Mysteries in the hub” is now revealed through the “Brawl Talk” of February 25, 2023. This update will be mainly dedicated to updating profiles as well as the new system of “Brawler Masteries”.
Two brawlers for season 17 of Brawl Stars
Back in the “Hub Star Park” area, the new season has many surprises in store. First, two new brawlers, “RT” available in the “Mystery at the Hub” battle pass and “Willow”, an epic brawler unlockable via the star route.
RT, the protection inspector robot:
Master of the Hub’s security cameras, RT won’t hesitate to use them to rule the battlefield. Its basic attack in the form of a straight line applies a passive increase in damage received on its opponents. A non-cumulative attack but which can be placed on several opponents simultaneously.
His super meanwhile introduces a whole new mechanic as once activated, RT splits into two parts capable of inflicting damage. Once separated, his basic attacks turn into area damage around him and his other half. When the super is over, RT heals itself back to a single entity.
Willow, mind control and lethal poison:
Second brawler unveiled during Brawl Talk, “Willow” is making its debut for season 17! His Bartaba-like attacks inflict poison over time.
Expert in manipulation, he is able with his super to control his adversaries provided he manages to touch them. A controlled opponent is no longer master of his character and can inflict and receive damage from his allies.
To get out of its grip, the controlled brawler must either reach a low threshold of hit points, or its allies must kill Willow, who has become immobile during the control.
Complete overhaul of the profile system on Brawl Stars
Prepared since season 16 “Candyland”, the profile system will allow the display of much more information about the player. Favorite brawler, titles and glory system, other mods options will be available.
This redesign, requested many times by the community, will make it easier to spot the right players. In addition to the advantages linked to club recruitment, the “player search” option will therefore be more precise and less frustrating.
In addition, it will be compatible directly from the release of the new season with a new system: masteries of brawlers.
New rewards, brawler masteries
Very similar to many other video games, Brawl Stars will host a new system of “masteries” related to brawlers. With each game played with one of them, it will be possible to unlock mastery points which bring bonus rewards at each level.
With the figures announced during the Brawl Talk, we can expect at least 1750 gold coins, 150 brawler points and 100 coins for the star route to unlock. Multiplied by the 70 different champions, this represents an excellent additional contribution for the currency of the game. A very appreciated bonus as much as it is totally accessible for free to play players.
As for the estimated time to fully pass all the mastery levels, it will take at least 48 hours.
Brawl Stars season 17 changes
Although loaded with changes, this season 17’s Brawl Talk offers fewer general changes for all other aspects of the game. Brawler masteries should be more than enough to keep players busy until the new April update.
Improved matchmaking:
Match searches will now consider the player’s Mastery Level, Club Rank, and Total Trophies.
In return for a slightly longer search, the games will bring points adapted to the levels of the players opposite.
Display of profiles in game:
When games start, the new version of the profiles will be visible to all players.
This will make it much easier to identify the most powerful profiles and vice versa at any time.
Titles, clubs and mastery levels will also be great indicators for creating strategies.
New “License to brawl” skins:
Four new spy-themed skins make their debut with plenty of references.
Thus, El Primo, Bull, Piper and Gray will see their new skins available in the store as soon as the update is released.
Ayakashi Clan Skins, Easter and Patches:
A new group of skins makes its appearance in a style inspired by traditional Japanese masks.
The next skin reserved for the Easter holidays will be “Bell Nani” and two new skins are appearing for Carl and Frank.
Finally the old skins of Jessie and Penny are refurbished to suit the new appearances of the two brawlers
