The developers of Brawl Stars are shaking up the Trophy System with a significant reset aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience for both casual and competitive players. These changes promise to make the Trophy progression clearer and more rewarding, addressing various aspects of the game, including matchmaking and player experience.
Overview of the New Trophy System
The upcoming update will allow players to progress their brawlers through 50 tiers, reaching up to 1,000 Trophies, designated as the Max Tier. Once players achieve this milestone, they will begin earning special Season Trophies, introducing new challenges and rewards.
Key Features of the New Trophy System
- Progression for All Players:
- Beginners and casual players will find it easier to progress, with reduced trophy losses in matches and increased trophy rewards for wins.
- Each tier requires a total of 20 trophies to advance, making it accessible for newcomers.
- Season Trophies:
- After reaching the Max Tier, players will unlock a new progression item called Season Trophies.
- From 1,100 Trophies, the difficulty of gaining Season Trophies increases, as players will earn fewer Season Trophies for wins compared to what they lose for losses.
- Trophy Boxes:
- Players who reach 1,000 Trophies on a brawler or accumulate 1,500 Trophies during a season will receive a Trophy Box, featuring skins, gems, and cosmetics.
- Trophy Boxes come in five tiers: Small, Big, Mega, Omega, and Ultra, each offering different rewards, including guaranteed Mythic and Legendary skins.
Improved Matchmaking
The new Trophy System aims to enhance matchmaking by grouping all players with Max Tier brawlers into a single queue, effectively reducing wait times.
However, this may lead to some matchups against significantly higher-ranked opponents, adding an extra layer of challenge for players. The win streak mechanic is now tied to individual brawlers, ensuring players can maintain their progress even when exploring different characters.
Competitive Seasons and Reset Mechanism
- The Trophy count will reset at the start of each new competitive season, specifically for players who have surpassed 1,000 Trophies. However, players with fewer than 1,000 Trophies will not experience any changes.
- The next competitive season starts on November 7, following the conclusion of the Halloween-themed Brawl Pass season. This aligns competitive seasons closely with Brawl Pass seasons, encouraging ongoing player engagement.
Rewards for Previous Rank 35 Brawlers
With the introduction of the new system, the previous Rank 35 achievement is now refreshed. Players who previously reached Rank 35 will receive unique rewards, including commemorative pins and special titles for accumulating multiple Rank 35 brawlers, adding a nostalgic element for long-time players.
Conclusion
The reworked Trophy System in Brawl Stars presents a substantial enhancement to gameplay, particularly for casual players who will benefit from more rewarding progression, while high-skill competitors will face new challenges and a more vibrant matchmaking environment.
The update is expected to roll out at the end of October, with a season reset occurring on November 7.
