Supercell has officially launched the highly anticipated Brawl Stars Dark Sands season as of March 6, 2025. This season introduces players to new gameplay elements, including exciting skins, balance adjustments, daily rewards, and the debut of the brand-new Brawler, Finx.
The Brawl Stars Dark Sands season has generated significant excitement within the community with its promise of fresh content. The season brings not only new opportunities for players to collect rewards, but also makes noteworthy balance changes to existing Brawlers to refine gameplay mechanics. According to Supercell, "Supercell announced the launch of the Brawl Stars Dark Sands season on their X page." This marks the first season incorporating Finx.
This latest season's balance changes involve three Brawlers receiving buffs—Ollie, Meeple, and Ruffs—while seven others, namely Gus, Stu, Penny, Juju, Max, Rico, and Lou, will undergo nerfs. For example, Ollie has seen his Main Attack Damage increase from 850 to 1000 and he will now use 50% of his max ammo without silencing himself. Meeple's Main Attack reload speed has also received a boost, moving from 2 seconds to 1.9 seconds, clearly improving their efficiency as well. The adjustments didn't stop there, with Ruffs getting increased Hypercharge Damage and Shield, from 10% to 15%.
On the other hand, adjustments for Brawlers include notable decreases; Gus, for example, will now have his Main Attack Damage reduced from 1120 to 1080, among other tweaks. The extent of these balance changes shows the developers' commitment to refining the gameplay experience, leading to the season being characterized as dynamically engaging.
Perhaps the most exciting addition to this season is Finx, the new Brawler. Finx fires three ranged projectiles, with the outer projectiles dealing half the damage of the center one. His Super enables him to warp time within the affected area, slowing down enemy projectiles and increasing the speed of his and allied Brawlers' projectiles, which will undoubtedly introduce new tactical elements. The notion of new features such as Finx eliciting eagerness is supported by community discussions leading up to the season's launch.
Beyond balance changes, another significant aspect is the introduction of the daily rewards program. Players can earn rewards for maintaining login streaks, adding yet another layer of incentive to engage with the game regularly. This compelling approach to player engagement allows Supercell to reward dedication with bonuses such as Hypercharge for random Brawlers, Coins, Gems, and more.
The aesthetics of Brawl Stars is being expanded this season through the introduction of new skins. A total of eight fresh cosmetic items have been made available. Mummified Frank, one of the season's headliners, showcases impressive design elements with purple flames and is attainable at tier 50 of the paid Brawl Pass. The Fantastically spooky aspect of this skin has drawn considerable attention among fans, making it the centerpiece of discussions related to skin developments this season.
Along with Mummified Frank, various skins such as Charcoal Frank and Papyrus Frank are also making their debut within the game. Each skin variation will be exclusively available to players reaching specific tiers of the paid Brawl Pass Plus. Players can also look forward to additional offerings like Mystic Meeple, Pharaollie, Queen Juju, Ruffesses II, and Scarab Squeak, which will be included under the latest shop offerings.
The Brawl Stars Season 36 Brawl Pass goes hand-in-hand with the Dark Sands season, which will expire on April 3, 2025. This timing creates optimal synergy among players wishing to maximize their gaming performance. With multiple purchase options including Free, Brawl Pass, and Brawl Pass Plus, players may find the choices rewarding based on their engagement levels. Notably, players can buy the Brawl Pass for 6.99 USD and Brawl Pass Plus for the same price. Purchasing through Supercell's Store Website grants accolades like Supercell ID points and contributes positively to pass progression.
Supercell has created multiple avenues for players to advance through the Brawl Stars Season 36 Brawl Pass by earning Pass XP. Such points can be accrued by completing seasonal quests or participating actively in battles. Strategies around ranking up Brawlers effectively and tapping banners during events add interesting layers to progressions, creating new methods for gameplay enhancement.
With the launch of Brawl Stars Dark Sands season, the community anticipates thrilling changes and rewards throughout March. This blend of innovative gameplay, dynamic Brawlers, and aesthetically pleasing cosmetic items sets the stage for considerable excitement through April 3, 2025. It will be fascinating to see how players adapt their strategies to integrate all the freshly launched features and enjoy their time within the continued growth of Brawl Stars.
