Abilities
In addition to a Brawler’s main or regular attack ability, they have three other abilities.
Super
As Brawlers deal damage to enemy Brawlers, they build up their special ability, called a Super. Each Brawler has their own Super ability, which can, for example, create a shield, spawn a cannon, or fire a barrage of rockets. A damage dealing Super will charge up the next Super if it hits enemies.
Star Powers
Each Brawler also has unlockable passive abilities called Star Powers, which can be found in Boxes, or inside the Shop once the Brawler reaches power level 9. Star powers are passives that provide specific enhancement towards a brawler.
Gadgets
Brawlers have unlockable abilities called Gadgets. Gadgets were added to the game on March 17, 2020. A Brawler’s Gadget appears in Boxes and in the Shop once that Brawler reaches power level 7. These abilities are, once unlocked, usable two or three times per match depending on the Gadget and are activated by pressing the Gadget button.
Trophy Road
The Trophy Road is a way for players to track their in-game progress, increase their rank, and earn prizes along the way. Prizes along this journey include: new Brawlers, Coins, Power Points (applied to Brawlers for upgrades), token doublers, new events, and Boxes that contain additional contents. To progress along the Trophy Road, players must earn Trophies through battles. Once a player claims a reward they can not claim it again
