How to play CLASSIC Brawl: The Mega Box event and rewards
June's Brawl Talk was definitely a nostalgic one. The next big event for Brawl Stars will be called "Classic Brawl". It features the comeback of the Mega Boxes. However, it's going to be a time-limited event; meaning that they're not here to replace Starr Drops. The event will run from July 12 to July 31.
The CLASSIC Brawl event works with the old Star Tokens. You can get them with your first win of the day, but also by playing the new special game modes. They will be affected by the "classic" modifier: No hypercharge, level 9 maximum, no gadgets, and can only use the first Star power. The 2019 nostalgic players will enjoy them for sure. These new classic modes include:
- Mirror mode: 3v3 mode where everyone plays the same Brawler.
- Drum roll: A death match mode where you get a different Brawler for each kill.
The Mega Boxes announced during June's Brawl Talk also include a Mega Box challenge. Play it to help you get the 10 Mega Boxes required to claim the free Sovereign Rico hypercharged skin. Unlock Mega Boxes with twelve Star tokens. This is the list of rewards you can find inside Mega Boxes:
- Brawlers
- Bling
- Skins (any rarity)
- Coins
- Power points
- Gems
Two new Brawlers coming with Brawl Stars July Update
Berry is the first Brawler mentioned on June's Brawl Talk. He's a thrower style Unicorn that can also be played as a support. His basic attack is an ice cream bomb that deals damage over time in a small area, but also heals the allies it hits. His super is a dash attack that also leaves a trail of ice cream behind. Dark Horse Berry is the first skin releasing with this Brawler.
The next season coming after the Brawl Stars July update will feature Clancy. They said he's not a lobster, but who are we to tell him. Clancy will be released with the High Stakes Clancy and works similar to surge, scaling to three different levels that affect his normal attacks and super.
- Stage 1: Single shot of his basic attack. His super is a small torrent of bullets.
- Stage 2: Two quick shots in a line vector. His super covers a larger area.
- Stage 3: Adds two diagonal line vectors to his normal attack, making it a three-hit area. He's now faster while using his super.
Reworks, hypercharges and balance changes
The Brawl Stars July update is coming with a lot of new stuff, including some reworks to Frank, Meg and Chester. This is how they work now:
- Frank: The lower his HP, the faster his normal attacks.
- Meg: Shoots more projectiles while on her Mecha, but has shorter range.
- Chester: The four attack stages are now part of his basic attack. Also, his new Star power makes his first attack stronger.
Seven new hypercharges are also on the menu! This is what Supercell announced about this:
- Barley: Throws three big brews that also burns all the bushes in the area of effect.
- Frank: His super now covers all the surrounding area.
- Angelo: His super follows him.
- Piper: Her super throws more bombs and knocks enemies hit if she lands on them.
- EMZ: Her super pushes Brawlers away and shoots a targeted spray after.
- Rico: His super projectiles bounce further.
- Gale: Wider super, fires twice.
