Brawl Stars Brawl Talk reveals more info on Buffies & New Brawlers

A new Brawl Stars Brawl Talk arrived this month, bringing more details about the new power-ups, Buffies, as well as new Brawlers, Pierce and Glowbert. While we already had an idea of what they were from a previous update, we now have much more info on specific Brawler Buffies and how they work. Without further ado, let’s dive right in.

Brawl Stars Buffies Explained – Brawl Talk December 2025

Supercell released a new official Brawl Stars Brawl Talk on Buffies in what they’re calling the “biggest update” to the game ever. But what exactly are they?

Brawl Stars Buffies are power-ups that “buff” the power and abilities of your brawlers. Overall, Buffies can buff the following abilities:

• Gadgets
• Star Powers
• Hypercharges

For now, only Colt, Shelly, Spike, Mortis, Frank, and EMZ possess Buffies at launch, but we can of course expect to see more added over time. Feel free to check out the current list of Buffies and how to unlock them!

Unlocking a Gadget Buffie unlocks a power-up for both Gadgets and Star Powers. Furthermore, each Hyper Buffie provides a two-second increase in duration for a Brawler’s Hypercharge.

However, players must reach 1,000 trophies in order to start unlocking Buffies. Everyone gets their first Buffie for free, but subsequent Buffies will cost you:

• Gems for specific Buffies
• Power Points AND Coins for random Buffies

Brawler Reworks

Along with Buffies comes other big changes, including Reworks to several Brawlers. The biggest change is that Brawlers with Buffies can now aim their gadgets. While you can still tap for instant use, aiming now gives you more freedom in how you play. This includes gadgets like Mortis’ Combo Spinner and EMZ’s Friendzoner Gadget. Other big changes include:

• Colt’s Speedloader Gadget now shoots two quick shots that slow targets when hit
• Spike’s Popping Pincushion now fires two waves of needles (formerly 3)
• Spike’s Life Plant Gadget can now be thrown
• Mortis’ Survival Shovel Gadget has been changed to Creature of the Night
• Frank’s Active Noise Cancelling adds an aimable gadget soundwave along with immunity to crowd control
• Frank’s Irresistible Attraction Gadget no longer deals extra damage but you can now aim it with a further reaching pull
• EMZ’s Acid Spray Gadget lets her aim a spray through walls now

Of course, the addition of Buffies means the removal of Epic & Mythic Gears. All players who purchased these Gears will receive a refund.

Brawl Pass Changes, Brawl Pass Vaults & More

Supercell also mentioned previously some changes that were coming to the Brawl Pass. The devs are adding new Brawl Pass Vaults which add 10 new reward milestones. You unlock them with specific Brawl Keys, allowing you to grab the rewards you want the most. There’s various types of keys, from resource keys to skin keys.

Overall, These keys can unlock you Brawlers, Buffies, and much more, so keep on the lookout for them.

Of course, this means the new Brawl Pass and Brawl Pass Plus price will be increasing. So if you want to save money, you could technically purchase the next eight passes in advance.

Furthermore, the new regular brawl pass now contains Skins, Chromas, and Titles. Additionally, the developers added new Chaos Drops, which they also revealed not long ago.

Once you complete a Brawl Pass, you’ll earn a Tail-End reward, which is now random instead of one static starr drop. Furthermore, you have the choice of upgrading your rewards with Gems, which could be Vault Keys.

Chaos Drops

A new type of Drop is coming to Brawl Stars called Chaos Drops. Their lowest rarity is Super Rare, with the highest being Ultra. However, they also have a chance to split into 2, 4, or 8 drops. Therefore, you could be lucky enough to receive eight Ultra Chaos Drops in one moment.

Ultra Chaos Drops can give you quality rewards like Hypercharges, Brawlers, Skins, and Buffies.
