The new season 18 of Brawl Stars “Jungle Fight” is coming very soon with a lot of new features announced during the “Brawl Talk” on April 22, 2023! This update brings many new features that follow on from the previous Season 17.
Two brawlers for season 18 of Brawl Stars
The clashes of this new season take place in the jungle which is also the home of Nita, Léon and Bo. Two new brawlers will be available, “Maisie” available in the battle pass and “Hank”, an epic brawler unlockable via the star route.
Maisie, protection and precision shooting
Chief of security for the “Brawlywood” region, Maisie is as proficient in ranged combat as in hand-to-hand combat.
Its basic attack hits in a straight line at long range and deals heavy damage. In addition, his projectile gradually accelerates which makes it more complex to anticipate.
However, his super excels in close combat. Maisie hits the ground dealing heavy damage and knocking opponents back into the zone.
Hank, unique extreme melee mechanic
Be careful not to underestimate Hank the little shrimp! His tank is far from being so small but above all is devastating at close range.
Its basic attack is unique and resembles a “bubble” that can be charged by holding the attack button. The more the bubble is charged, the more its size and its damage increase.
The super attack is less strong, Hank shoots projectiles all around him that only stop against a wall or once hit a brawler.
Complete overhaul of the star points, the “Bling”
Following on from previous updates, Season 18 of Brawl Stars is tackling skins and cosmetics. Thus, the “star points” disappear to make way for the “blings points”. These points allow you to buy any skin, profile picture or emoticon except for some related to specific events.
As a result, almost all Brawl Stars cosmetics will be purchasable at any time via a new section: the catalog. It will also be possible to use blings to lower the price of skins in gems.
Improved star cup for obtaining blings
Finally, obtaining blings is still done via the mode of ranked games, the “star cup” with a few changes. Each season will now last 2 weeks and only the 20 champions with the most trophies will lose them in exchange for blings.
Finally, moving to a higher league will directly credit counter blings at the end of the season.
Season 18 Brawl Talk changes
Much like the previous season, the major overhauls leave less room for small improvements to other aspects of the game. Blings should keep players busy until the next season in June. There are, however, some interesting changes to the skin, game modes and endgame display.
New indicators at the end of the game
It will now be possible to see the kills, deaths and damage inflicted at the end of the game.
These indications are important in determining which player is the “star player”, a title that has been coveted since the brawler masteries.
In addition, a replay of the best action will be shown at the end of the clashes. Finally, it will be possible to assign a “like” to your allies and opponents.
New “ultimate survival” game mode
This basic survival based game mode removes passive regeneration when a brawler does not take damage.
The only way to regenerate is to kill an opposing brawler. Once a brawler is out of the game, it will spawn a “Hot-dog” which restores a large number of life points.
This new game mode is there to fight against the principle of teams that can form between certain players. More explanations on this technique are available in our article dedicated to the solo survivor game mode.
Return of Volley Brawl mode
Highly requested by players, this game mode returns as an event in the community section.
The objective of this game mode is to push a ball back into the opponent’s court.
A principle that seems simple but that can hold a lot of surprises depending on the game.
New skins and special promotion
As usual, many skins are revealed during the brawl talk and will soon be available in this season 18.
The jungle skins for the season are Colt Chimpanzee, Max Leopard, Crocodile Buster, and Meg Spirit of the Jaguar in Star Cut.
The new “Legends of Olympus” family of skins, inspired by Greek mythology, is coming and concerns Tick, Brock and Nani.
Finally, a new set of 29 gems are Carl Goblin, Leon cat, Buzz Godzilla, Billy Chewing gum, Edgard blackbird. Finally, the skin for the “golden week” event will be “Emma Lolita” and Jessie’s dragon skins will have a slight graphic overhaul.
Redesign of the brawler “Meg”
In order to make the brawler less complex to play, Meg starts the game directly in her mech and it no longer loses life points gradually.
On the other hand, the mecha is much less strong.
Meg’s strength then lies in her ability to absorb a lot of damage and be invulnerable to stuns and supers that kill in one hit.
