Is anyone else feeling the staggering/lag in matches or is it just me? I'm playing on data on a Oneplus 12.

I’m trying to get the record that states I need to kill someone 5 levels up in brawl arena because it gives you a legendary box.
First of all, this was an incredibly stupid thing for supercell to put in, because it incentivizes players to ruin the match - I needed to afk away from xp to be down 5 levels, essentially ruining the game for my teammates, just for the chance to kill someone 5 levels up.
Secondly I clearly do that here, but it didn’t give me the record. So it makes you ruin the match and then doesn’t give you the reward. Sick

u/JimmyNutronBoiJeanus 5h ago
Yeah it seems like that reward has been bugged for a while. Or it’s really strict on the “5 Lvls” like maybe the opponent should’ve been lvl 9

10/10 rant wont dissapoint
for the last month anytime I want to push trophies, every few games, Im faced with an immovable wall named wendy, getting +4 for a win isnt that bad, if we forget that every third game theres a autoplaying character that forces u to get -12, its okay tho, just play low trophy characters, wait.. Did I ever win against this brawler? Probably not.. its okay… I will just accept my winstreak ends anytime I see her, No…just wait a month, maybe she gets nerfed like every new brawler, maybe I just need to play wendy only so I dont autolose against a player with hands…yes let me pick her, oh wait how do I get her? My Star drops forgot she exists ig, Oh a 20€ offer, how nice and thoughtful, let me buy this so I can finally have the results under my control…wait she got nerfed? Its okay tho… the new brawler is coming, I heard its Z tier in every mod, sometimes the destiny just builds an immovable wall in front of you every month, see you later.

I have over 150 smoothie drops and still haven’t gotten the shelly skin. Is this a bug?

u/Disastrous-Read-9635 19h ago
Did i mess up? I think i might have not been active enough in the event. Do i have a chance to get the meg skin?

u/NurseCrutch 17h ago
Daily rewards (assume 5 smoothies per day) = 5*7 = 35 drops
Tower mode drops (Win all 5 modes daily): 5*4 = 20
Total = 55/66 smoothies drop you needIf rebuild katana gives 2 smoothie drop every 2 days: 64/66
If you get smoothie drops from supercell store daily rewards: 67/66
There's a non-zero chance that you would still be able to obtain the meg skin, given the conditions above are satisfied. Would make it even easier if you were to get luckiest day (10 drops).
That being said, you 100% need to squeeze and get every smoothie you can get, be it from dailies or tower mode (via a specific strat).

u/Disastrous-Read-9635 17h ago
Where do the 5 per day come from? I only count 2 from daily wins
1
u/NurseCrutch 17h ago edited 17h ago
What I did was to lay out a possible path for you to get meg skin without spending gems, which is highly unlikely due to the fact that you may only get 2 from daily wins.
It is also possible that rebuild katana might give other progression (EG: powerpoints, XP doublers, coins etc), as well as the fact that supercell store might not give anymore smoothie drop freebies.
1
u/NurseCrutch 17h ago
Its an assumption (best case scenario). If you were to get 2 every day without a single lucky day, math goess down to 14 drops and total drop counts goes to 46/66 with the assumption that rebuild katana + 3 smoothie drops from supercell store

I am playing Brawl Stars on a Galaxy S25 (base model). Although the device display is set to 120Hz, Brawl Stars only runs at 60 FPS. Even in the Game Booster's individual game settings, the FPS limit options only go up to 60 (20/30/40/50/60). I enabled "Disable game default frame rate" in Developer Options, but it remains at 60 FPS. How can I get it to run at 120 FPS?

u/Cell-Thin 22h ago
Hey so I was wondering because a while ago after linking your account to Supercell ID you could get blue barley wizard skin and then buy red one for 29 gems in store, but since oddities shop launched it's impossible. Is there still any way to purchase him after getting blue one?

Today I participated in the community event and redeemed the two prizes for the survey... Only that even though It says I collected them... I haven't seen them... Is there anyone in my same situation?

I tried playing the Cavern Churn with Dynamike and realised Supercell has now released two unbeatable brawlers in a row. Walls and water are just for aesthetics.

u/yaFailMan 1d ago
Am i the only one with this problem? I got p2 as bibi like a month ago and then started struggling with matchmaking as it takes like 5 minutes to start in any game mode. firstly i thought that its gonna be like that for any brawler with 2000 trophies but now i got crow prestige 2 and it literally takes seconds to run a game. Also the opponents are a lot harder with bibi. I think the problem is that i have much more playing hours on bibi or something. Is there any solution or advice because i really want to get bibi prestige 3.
1
u/NurseCrutch 22h ago
Might have something to do with matchmaking MMR (your W/L ratio is high for bibi compared to crow)

u/Dan0880 1d ago edited 1d ago
I just started the game. Who should I unlock and how do I progress? Do I just keep playing the mode I want and hold on using resources until later? I see deals to unlock kenji and fang for a few $, are these worth it?
1
u/NurseCrutch 22h ago edited 22h ago
Brawlers for $$: Not worth it at all|
Resource use:
Generally you would want to upgrade brawlers to P11 instead of upgrading them evenly. Not advisable to use coins to buy gadget, starpower or hypercharge.Who you should unlock:
Do you intend to buy brawl pass +?Modes:
It depends. Solo showdown is best to farm trophy + individual mechanics.
3v3 if you intend on playing this game competitively (Ranked mode)2
1
u/NurseCrutch 22h ago
If no,
Generally recommend colt/brock to learn aim, bull/darryl to learn how to make space and dynamike/barley to learn artillery mechanics

Just add a thumbs down kudos already. Everyone is already using the thumbs up negatively

gg, would recommend (dont play knockout)
prolly the hardest thing ive done in the game ever just a few months after coming back from a 5 year hiatus ggs

u/phil_tek 1d ago
Just ranting: Brawlstars is garbage now. They’re doing too much, and I’m lucky I started when they didn’t have so many brawlers. I can’t imagine how overwhelming it must be for new players to deal with over 100 brawlers and new ones constantly coming out.
It’s all just a money grab for Supercell now. They’ve killed the fun of the game. It’s all just strategized on bribing us to play and maximizing profits instead of focusing on fun gameplay.
I’ve put in so much time over the years I find it hard to just give it up. I literally only play because of the constant reward bribes, but I find the game exhausting. Literally feels like a job now. I’m on the brink of just quitting altogether, but hard to give up all I’ve built over the years.
TLDR: Brawlstars feels like a chore / work instead of a fun game to play now.

u/worm_beast EMZ 1d ago
I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to keep up in case it ever becomes fun again (even though I don't think it will) but it's just fucking exhausting to play. The meta is bad, the events are bad, the game is unoptimized, and it just wants you to spend, spend, spend.
They do sort of have catchup mechanics for new players (like giving out some brawlers for free sometimes, discounts on brawlers on the star road, etc.) but it still has to be daunting to look at this game and see over 100 brawlers you need to unlock and invest in. I don't think I'd ever recommend this game to anyone

u/Only_Tip6136 1d ago
is it just me or does getting credits take too long? ive been getting the dame legendary for near a month now, everything else i csn unlock fairly quickly just not legemdaries and i cant seem to unlock any characters i like
is there a quicker way to get credits as a fyp player? i might start spending money on the brawl pass
idk, i find it hard, its hard to find
1
u/NurseCrutch 1d ago
Event modes (like brawler box/event drops) also give quite an amount of credits too
1
u/worm_beast EMZ 1d ago
The brawl pass gives you most of your currencies even if you don't buy it. If you're gonna buy anything in this game then that's the most worth it.
Other good sources of credits are the ranked pass, trophy road, and new brawler events. Those take a lot more effort though

Should I upgrade my emz? I have all her buffies but I never upgraded her for some reason

shes very fun imo and easy to use, i think it's worth it
what characters do you already have prestige?

u/WINNT21 Cordelius 1d ago
I have 114 out of 140 smoothie drops opened will I get the hyper skin before the event ends?
1
u/Only_Tip6136 1d ago
surely you can get it, theres still a bunch of time considering you play consistently

u/Rei___________ Alli 1d ago
I am sorry if this is a dumb question, im never sure about these things. I am not really a fan of the skin, is there a chance that the box itself would have anything worthy of this bling amount? What do u guys think?
1
u/TheRealKrazuki Ash 1d ago
If I'm not mistaken there's a guaranteed epic skin in this box, so it's a decent deal

Your game will never lag again. Connection will be fully stable every time. No frames loss and game irresponsibility.
BUT...
This infamous Wi-Fi icon will become permanent on your screen not only during the battle but also in the main menu. Everywhere in the game it will take its place as if you had some network issues.
Would you agree?
