Brawl Stars Balance Changes April 2026: All Buffs & Nerfs

So, Supercell dropped a big balance update for Brawl Stars on April 22nd, 2026. It followed the huge April update we got a little while ago – you know, the one that totally changed the shop and added a bunch of new stuff. They’ve been tweaking things since then, and this is the result!

We regularly update the game to keep things fair for all players and in all game modes. These updates, called balance changes, adjust Brawlers’ strengths and weaknesses, ensuring no single Brawler is too powerful or too weak compared to others. These adjustments happen through buffs (making Brawlers stronger), nerfs (making them weaker), or complete reworks of their abilities and stats.

The recent balance changes affected a lot of Brawlers, so let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

All of April’s Balance Changes for Brawl Stars, Listed

April’s balance changes are a solid mix of both buffs and nerfs. No reworks were introduced.

Brawlers like Najia and Pierce were recently made a bit weaker due to adjustments to their stats and skills. They had been too strong, consistently performing best in the game, so these changes are understandable and fair.

Glowy and Jae-Yong, along with several other Brawlers, received improvements to their abilities. These Brawlers weren’t performing as well as others, so these changes were needed to balance the game.
