3 min • 25 maj 2025
In the world of Brawl Stars, May 2025 has been a month of significant updates and competitive action. The latest season, "The Battle for Katana Kingdom," launched earlier this month on May 5th, bringing fresh content to the popular mobile game[1].
Prior to this season launch, Supercell released April balance changes on April 30th, which included substantial adjustments to various Brawlers[1][2]. Crow received a notable buff, with his heal reduction increased from 40% to 60%, enhancing his zone control capabilities[2].
More recently, on May 20th, Supercell announced another round of balance changes focusing primarily on Wasabi Powers. Hank, who had dominated the meta since the introduction of Wasabi Powers, received a significant nerf with a 70% damage reduction[3]. Amber also saw adjustments, with increased spread between her fire shots making it more difficult to focus damage on single opponents[3]. Meanwhile, Colette received buffs to her damage output and bullet count, potentially improving her viability in matches[3].
For players looking for free rewards, Supercell is currently giving away two free Sushi Rolls in Brawl Stars, a promotion that began yesterday on May 24th[4]. This giveaway ties into the Katana Kingdom theme that's been running throughout the month.
The competitive scene is also heating up with the Brawl Stars Championship 2025 - Brawl Cup currently underway. Day 1 of the tournament started yesterday, May 24th, featuring top teams competing for a World Championship slot[5]. According to tournament commentary, the meta has been dominated by Hank in recent months, though recent balance changes may shift competitive team compositions[5].
The championship broadcasts have highlighted that the same three Brawlers topped pick rates across all regions during April's monthly finals, showcasing a consistent meta despite regional differences in playstyle[5]. Hank's hypercharge ability, which was recently "toned down slightly," remains a powerful option in competitive play, with teams often utilizing his work mode for additional speed and party mode for healing support[5].
With these continuous updates and the ongoing Brawl Cup competition, Brawl Stars continues to evolve as both a casual mobile game and a competitive esport in 2025, keeping its community engaged with regular balance adjustments and seasonal content.
