The newest Null’s Brawl update is one of the biggest updates we have seen in a long time. It brings three brand-new Brawlers, a huge Bling rework, new game modes, an Adidas collaboration, new anime-inspired skins, and many quality-of-life improvements.

This update introduces Damian, Starr Nova, and Bolt. Each Brawler has a completely different playstyle. Damian is a powerful close-range fighter, Starr Nova can transform into a stronger form, and Bolt becomes faster and stronger while rolling.

Besides the new Brawlers, Supercell is also changing how Bling works, adding new Buffies, introducing football-themed content with Adidas, and bringing several crossover skins from My Hero Academia.

Damian Arrives in April – Draco’s Older Brother With a Hypercharged Heart

Damian is the first new Brawler coming in this update. He is Draco’s older brother, the frontman of their heavy metal band, and one of the most aggressive close-range fighters ever added to Null’s Brawl.

Unlike most melee Brawlers, Damian becomes stronger the longer he keeps attacking. His punches build toward a powerful third hit that can push enemies back, burn them, and even damage nearby opponents.

Damian Overview

Feature	Details
Name	Damian
Release Month	April 2026
Class	Close-Range / Tank Fighter
Theme	Heavy metal, speakers, fire
Strength	Trapping enemies and dealing area damage
Weakness	Short range and can struggle against long-range Brawlers

Damian’s Abilities

Ability	How It Works	Why It Is Strong
Main Attack	Damian throws short punches in front of him.	Great for fast close-range fights.
Third Hit Effect	Every third attack knocks enemies back, sets them on fire, and creates an explosion.	Can damage multiple enemies at once and stop them from escaping.
Super – Moshpit	Damian jumps forward and creates a circle of giant speakers around enemies.	Traps enemies and forces them to fight or destroy the speakers.
Hypercharge	The ground burns after Damian lands with his Super.	Enemies take extra damage while trapped.

Damian’s third hit is the most important part of his kit. Once you land two normal punches, the next attack becomes much more dangerous.

• Knocks enemies backward.
• Applies fire damage.
• Creates an explosion around the target.
• Makes it easier to trap enemies inside his Super.

Damian’s Best Game Modes

Game Mode	Why Damian Could Be Strong
Gem Grab	Can trap important enemy Brawlers carrying gems.
Brawl Ball	His Super can block enemies and control the goal area.
Hot Zone	Very strong in small areas where enemies cannot escape.
Showdown	Dangerous in close-range fights against single enemies.

Damian will likely be one of the strongest Brawlers for aggressive players who enjoy getting close and forcing enemies into difficult situations.

Starr Nova Releases in May: The Anime Brawler From Starr Toon Studios

Starr Nova is the second new Brawler in the update. She works at Starr Toon Studios and was originally hired to cosplay as the character Starr Nova. However, she became so obsessed with the role that she now truly believes she is the real Starr Nova.

Her gameplay is built around transformation. At first, she fights like a normal ranged Brawler. After using her Super, she transforms into a stronger version with a sword, faster movement, and healing.

Starr Nova Overview

Feature	Details
Name	Starr Nova
Release Month	May 2026
Class	Hybrid / Transformation Brawler
Theme	Anime magical girl
Strength	Can switch between ranged and close-range combat
Weakness	Transformation only lasts a few seconds

Starr Nova’s Abilities

Ability	How It Works	Why It Is Strong
Main Attack	Fires two projectiles in a straight line.	Easy to use and useful for medium-range damage.
Super	Dashes forward and transforms into a stronger form.	Lets Starr Nova quickly enter fights.
Transformed Attack	Her attack changes into a cone-shaped sword slash.	Can hit several enemies at once.
Extra Effects	Gains more speed and heals when hitting enemies.	Makes her much harder to stop during transformation.

Before transforming, Starr Nova is best used carefully from a distance. After transforming, she becomes far more dangerous.

What Changes During Transformation?

Normal Form	Transformed Form
Shoots two projectiles	Uses a sword cone attack
Medium movement speed	Faster movement speed
No healing	Heals after hitting enemies
Better at range	Better in close combat

The best way to use Starr Nova is:

1. Damage enemies from a distance.
2. Wait for the right moment.
3. Use her Super to dash in.
4. Finish enemies with the sword form.

Starr Nova’s Best Game Modes

Game Mode	Why Starr Nova Could Be Strong
Brawl Ball	Her dash and transformation can help score goals quickly.
Knockout	Can surprise enemies with her transformation.
Gem Grab	Good at both attacking and defending.
Showdown	Strong in one-on-one fights after transforming.

Bolt Releases in June: The Battle Bumperz Robot That Wants To Race

Bolt is easily the strangest Brawler in the update. He comes from the Battle Bumperz toyline and was created to crash into enemies. But instead of being a fighter, Bolt dreams of becoming a race car.

Because of that, Bolt does not move like any other Brawler in the game. He becomes faster the longer he drives in a straight line.

Bolt Overview

Feature	Details
Name	Bolt
Release Month	June 2026
Class	Speed / Damage Brawler
Theme	Robot race car
Strength	Becomes stronger as he gains speed
Weakness	Loses speed when hitting walls or turning sharply

Bolt’s Abilities

Ability	How It Works	Why It Is Strong
Passive Movement	Bolt gains speed while moving forward.	Faster speed means higher damage.
Main Attack	Boosts Bolt’s speed and gives extra damage for a short time.	Helps him build momentum quickly.
Weakness	Sharp turns and walls slow him down.	Makes Bolt harder to use on small maps.
Super	Bolt moves even faster, takes less damage, and leaves a damaging trail.	Very strong for chasing or escaping.

Bolt rewards players who plan their movement carefully.

Bolt’s Speed System

Situation	Result
Moves in a straight line	Builds speed and damage
Uses main attack	Gains even more speed
Hits a wall	Loses momentum
Turns sharply	Slows down
Uses Super	Reaches maximum speed

To play Bolt properly, players will need to avoid tight spaces and keep moving smoothly.

Bolt’s Best Game Modes

Game Mode	Why Bolt Could Be Strong
Brawl Ball	Can rush across the map very quickly.
Heist	High speed makes him good at reaching the safe.
Showdown	Strong on large, open maps.
Knockout	Can quickly pressure low-health enemies.

Bling Rework Explained

The update is also making major changes to Bling.

After the update, you will no longer be able to spend Bling in the Catalog. The Catalog will still exist, but it will move to the Brawler screen instead of staying in the Shop.

Because of this, if there is a skin you really want from the Catalog, you should buy it before the update arrives.

Juju’s Oddities Shop

A brand-new section called Juju’s Oddities Shop is being added.

This new shop will become the main place where you spend your Bling.

Inside the shop, players will get random bundles that may contain:

• Skins
• Mythic skins
• Legendary skins
• Cosmetics
• Drops
• Boxes

This is the first time Bling can be used to get both progression rewards and higher-rarity skins.

Every player will see different offers, which means the shop is personalized.

Random Discounts and Free Bundles

The new Oddities Shop will also include random discounts.

Some bundles may have:

• No discount
• Small discounts
• Large discounts
• A very rare 100% discount

That means some lucky players may sometimes get an entire bundle completely free.

How To Get More Bling

Although Bling is changing, Supercell says players should still earn about the same amount overall.

To help with that, the update adds:

• A new Mega Quest with Bling every month.
• More Bling in the free Brawl Pass.
• Extra Bling from revealing daily offers.

At the same time, the chance of finding skins inside Drops and Boxes will be slightly lower.

New Skin Changes and Rarity Improvements

Supercell is also changing how skin rarities work.

From now on:

• Mythic skins will include new takedown effects.
• Legendary skins will include takedown effects and spawn effects.
• Player Icons, Sprays, and Pins will no longer automatically come with skin rarities.

These changes only affect future skins. Older skins will stay exactly the same.

Starr Patrol Season Skins

The first season after the update is called Starr Patrol. It has a strong anime theme and includes several new skins.

The main Brawl Pass skins are:

• Starr Patrol Spike
• Starr Scout Spike
• Star Guardian Spike
• Void Colette
• White Dwarf Colette
• Black Hole Colette

Additional skins in the season include:

• Starr Patrol Juju
• Starr Patrol Bea
• Starr Patrol Amber
• Void Amber
• Void Master Finx

The anime style of these skins will likely make them some of the most popular skins of the year.

Many players are already especially excited for Void Colette and Star Guardian Spike because of their unique appearance.

Brawl Striker Season and Adidas Collaboration

The second season in the update is called Brawl Striker.

This season is football-themed and is part of a new collaboration between Brawl Stars and Adidas.

All of the football skins include Adidas’ famous three-stripe design.

The Brawl Pass skins for this season are:

• Super Ball Gene
• Keeper Gene
• Score Stopper Gene
• Super Ball Carl
• Striker Carl
• Kicker Carl

Other football-themed skins include:

• Refereeple
• Super Striker Lou
• Scorekeeper Surge
• Gridiron Otis

The Adidas event will begin in June and will include a brand-new football game mode.

In conclusion, this update could become one of the biggest updates ever for Null’s Brawl. Damian, Starr Nova, and Bolt all bring completely different playstyles, which means there will be something exciting for every type of player. Damian is built for aggressive close-range fights, Starr Nova mixes ranged attacks with a powerful transformation, and Bolt introduces a unique speed-based mechanic that we have never seen before.

The update is not only about new Brawlers. The Bling rework, Juju’s Oddities Shop, new skins, Adidas collaboration, My Hero Academia crossover, Buffies changes, and new game modes make this update feel much larger than usual. With new content arriving in April, May, and June, players will have something new to enjoy every month.
