The February 2026 Brawl Talk introduces the 100th Brawler, a brand-new Trophy and Prestige system, major “Buffy” reworks, Rush Events, new game modes, hypercharges, and two large seasonal skin themes: Sands of Time and Dragons & Fairies.
Sirius – The 100th Brawler
Serio (also referred to as Sirius) is officially the 100th Brawler in Brawl Stars. As expected for such a milestone, he launches as an Ultra Legendary with a completely unique playstyle.
The First True Villain
Serio is the game’s first full villain Brawler. According to his lore, he once owned the first attraction in Starr Park, using shadow tricks to entertain visitors. As brawling became more popular, he lost attention—and now he returns for revenge.
Main Attack – Shadow Strike & Star Bomb
Serio fires two projectiles at the same time:
- Shadow Strike: A straight-line projectile.
- Star Bomb: Manually aimed and deals area damage.
After landing a certain number of hits, Serio collects a Brawler Shadow.
Super – Shadow Summoning
Serio steals the essence of other Brawlers and summons up to three Brawler Shadows. Each shadow mirrors characteristics of its original:
- A Frank shadow has higher health.
- A Leon shadow is more fragile but agile.
By default, shadows follow Serio and attack enemies. However, Serio can manually command them using his Super—ordering them to guard areas or focus specific targets. This introduces light RTS-style control elements into Brawl Stars.
Hypercharge
Serio launches with a Hypercharge that summons stronger shadow versions, further amplifying his control-based playstyle.
Naja – Mythic Damage Dealer
Naja joins as a Mythic damage dealer tied to the Pyramid Quest storyline.
Originally hired to make puzzles harder, she instead helps free those trapped by time manipulation.
Main Attack – Snake Jar
Naja throws a jar containing a deadly paper snake:
- The jar deals direct damage.
- While in flight, the snake can be released in any direction.
- The snake applies stacking poison damage over time.
This gives her extreme versatility and strong wall pressure.
Super – Danger Noodle
She unleashes three paper snakes:
- They travel a set distance.
- Poison enemies in an area.
- The Super can also be aimed to land at a specific location.
Massive Buffy Reworks
Multiple Brawlers receive new or improved “Buffies,” including:
- Crow
- Bibi
- Bull
- Nita
- Leon
- Bo
Highlights include:
- Crow’s poison converting into shields.
- Bull gaining lifesteal marks and invulnerability windows.
- Leon swapping places with his clone.
- Nita’s bear interactions becoming more aggressive and supportive.
- Bo receiving enhanced mine control and stealth bush mechanics.
Mythic Gears for these Brawlers are removed and refunded.
New Claw Machine

The New Trophy & Prestige System
