The April 2026 Brawl Talk has officially unveiled V67, one of the most content-packed updates in the game’s history. Supercell is leaning heavily into high-profile collaborations, bringing a mix of professional sports, legendary anime, and a trio of new Brawlers that are set to shift the meta for months to come.
Key Takeaways:
- New Brawlers: Damian (April), Starr Nova (May), and Bolt (June).
- Anime Collab: Official My Hero Academia skins for five fan-favorite Brawlers.
- Sports Collab: A massive Adidas partnership featuring the “Super Starr Cup.”
- Shop Redesign: The traditional Bling Catalog moves to a rotating “Oddities Shop.”
1. Meet the V67 Brawler Trio
Supercell has confirmed three new characters scheduled for release over the next three months. Each brings a unique mechanical twist to the arena.
- Damian (Mythic Tank – April): The final member of the Medieval Manor trio (alongside Draco and Lumi). Damian is a demonic, metallic vocalist who uses a “Power Trio” attack. His third hit is an explosive kick that knocks enemies back and sets them on fire.
- Starr Nova (Mythic Assassin – May): A magical-girl-inspired cosplayer who uses her “Nova Hair” as a weapon. Her projectiles damage enemies while simultaneously healing teammates, making her a deadly hybrid on the field.
- Bolt (Epic Tank – June): A racing-themed Brawler who gains speed while moving. His “Battle Bumper” attack allows him to deal massive damage simply by rolling into opponents.
2. Anime Cosplay: My Hero Academia x Brawl Stars
The “Anime Cosplay” theme takes center stage with a major collaboration with My Hero Academia. These aren’t just outfits; they are high-tier skins with custom animations and voice lines.
The Hero Roster:
- All Might (El Primo): A Legendary skin where the Symbol of Peace replaces the luchador.
- Deku (Fang): Fang’s kicks now glow with “One For All” lightning effects.
- Bakugo (Edgar): His punches are replaced with iconic nitroglycerin explosions.
- Uravity (Janet): A zero-gravity take on the high-flying Brawler.
- Tomura Shigaraki (Gus): A haunting Mythic skin where “decay” spirits replace his usual ghosts.
The Starr Nova Event: Starting in May, players can participate in a special event to level up “Starr Girl” transformations. If you deal enough damage during the event, you’ll unlock the Void Master Finx skin for free.
3. The Adidas Arena & Super Starr Cup
Brawl Stars is heading to the stadium with a surprise Adidas partnership. This event introduces a brand-new environment and a competitive twist to a classic mode.
- Adidas Arena: A custom map designed specifically for the collaboration.
- Super Ball Mode: A modified Brawl Ball format featuring “supercharged” teamwork mechanics and faster-paced gameplay.
- Exclusive Rewards: Players can compete in the Super Starr Cup to earn limited-edition sports pins and cosmetics.
4. Economy Overhaul: The End of the Bling Catalog
In a major shift for free-to-play players, the static Bling Catalog is being retired. It is replaced by the Oddities Shop.
- Personalized Offers: Instead of a full list, you will now see a rotating selection of skin bundles that refresh every 24 to 48 hours.
- Bling for Progression: For the first time, some Bling bundles will actually include progression resources like Coins and Power Points, giving the currency more utility beyond just cosmetics.
- Juju’s Shop: The shop is now hosted by Juju, who provides unique interactions and voice lines as you browse.
5. Pro Tip: Trophy Game Reporting
To keep the competitive integrity of the game high during this massive update, Supercell has finally brought the Reporting Function to Trophy Games. If you encounter “bad randoms” or intentional griefing during your push for the new Brawlers, you can now flag them directly from the battle end screen.
