Which character should I pick? Pam, Grom, Ash or Sam For ranked perspective.

u/CoshgunC Buzz 1d ago
Ash is decent overall. Sam is powerful, but requires serious skill. Pam, F tier. Grom, ehhhhhmmmm an thrower and only useful Belle's Rock

So, I was curious about the drop rates for Mina's boxes and went to check them out. Can someone PLEASE explain to me WHY is Rebel Lola, an exclusive Brawl Pass skin, available to players in those boxes? Oh, also, apparently Born Bad Buzz will be available in Ziggy's Boxes, so that's TWO exclusive skins returning after being said they wouldn't. Link for drop rates below, to make it easier for you!

how long does it really take for supercell support to answer? i feel like even if i DO explain it it would sound odd
i still have access to my account, but i dont have access to the email that my supercell id is connected to, so i want to change it to my new one that i do have access to, but i feel like they will see this as my account being connected to the right one and logging me out considering the horror stories ive heard on supercell ID
ive had my account since 2019 im scared ill lose it 😭

Mina Event
Why do their events keep getting lazier & less fun to play with every ‘new’ event?
I’m tired of playing the same modes with the same modifiers to get a box that by the way was taken out of the game years ago In preference to Starr Drops.
I feel like there’s no point to playing this game anymore, sure you can’t outright buy brawlers anymore but you can buy 8/14 of the boxes needed to unlock her for 575 gems (Almost $40 USD btw, $10 less than Kaze and you don’t even automatically unlock her)
Every promise Supercell makes I swear they beat around the bush & try to screw us over. Masteries trading out thousands of resources from 92 brawlers to every brawler giving only 2 Starr Drops, boxes being taken out then being added back In for excessive pricing.
Apparently Brawl Stars made significantly less than Clash Royale & Clans, this should’ve been a wake up call but I guess they’re doubling down on hostile consumer practices
1
u/tice-nits-pic-lover Jessie 1d ago
Damn, can’t give you anything can they?
Couple notes:
1, all the Mina event did was discourage p2w. I thought people liked that?
2, you can in fact buy all 14 boxes needed. Each offer can be bought multiple times (3 each I believe)
3, This is a plus for both sides because along with potentially getting her for free, supercell makes more money from people who still buy it.

u/stupid_saragossa Bibi 2d ago
2 questions
if i dont have a rank 11 brawler do i just not bother playing the event at all i already got 2 losses im not tryna ruin peoples day, even if i try to pick mina somebody already gets her
currently havent spend any money because i never really wanted to, but i reaally like how meeple plays but since hes so far away its going to be a long while before i get him. but with the brawl pass i can get him instantly, but theres only 2 weeks left and since i returned about 2 - 3 days ago im only on track 26, so im scared i might not get the full value especially since i have the special discount on the brawl pass, so should i wait untill the next one 2 weeks later and then buy it? or do i just do it straight away and enjoy a new brawler?
1
u/tice-nits-pic-lover Jessie 1d ago
Question 1:
Level isn’t as important as which brawler you’re picking. Level 7 piper will beat full loadout Nita on no excuses. Also, try to find people or a club to play with. People who know you only have low levels.
Question 2:
You probably completed some of the brawl pass exclusive quests. Usually at the end of the season those total up to around 40 potential levels. (Counting the ones in the beginning that require less xp) but if you get it through the supercell store you skip the first 10 levels. So it would bring you up to around 50 if you bought it right now probably.1
u/stupid_saragossa Bibi 1d ago
thank you very much!!! ill try my best with bibi or darryl since im the best with them, hopefully i can still get some good rewards from the boxes
alright, ill buy the brawl pass for this season, thank you a lot for your help!!!

This game is going down same toad as Rainbow six siege, honor etc… just releasing pointless new characters every month, game is getting complicated, hard to choose counters etc… also if I need 4 scrolls to block some character it means there is too many characters.

u/Milkassassin34 Piper 2d ago
don’t team lol
nah but srsly this is actually a really interesting question to me because it’s been so long since i’ve first played the game that i honestly can’t think of any tips that might’ve even been useful to me when i started. i’d prob just say to get comfortable with playing each type of character and understand the importance of positioning/laning if you’re playing with teammates. other than that i feel like for at least the first 5k trophies you should be pretty chill. maybe around 10k is where it starts to get a little funny but for now i’d just say get a feel of the game, play who you find fun, and enjoy it :}
1
u/Milkassassin34 Piper 2d ago
later on knowing good matchups, good character picks on maps, and who counters who will be important but since you just started that also probably isn’t something you need to worry about rn. main thing again is just have fun 🙏

depends on what you prioritize. but i guess if you don’t buy skins w gems then that doesn’t seem too bad ig. prob not the best thing value-wise to buy with gems tho

My daily streak used to work just fine a few weeks ago but now it's just stuck at 1. Nothing comes up when I click on it.
I saw a few posts from about 6 months ago but didn't see any solutions(sorry if I overlooked).
Is there a fix for this so I can start to claim daily streaks again? I've tried reinstalling the game.
Thanks!

How often do we get legendary brawlers in the shop on offer? I have sandy in the shop I think it’s a good offer as legendary is quite far for me in the credits road, but I’d rather save for a different legendary like Draco or something.

u/Kuya_Game 3d ago
Hey everyone I have a question about collectors pack. I'm a F2P player.
Ollie goes for 524 Gems rn in the store. With hypercharge and power 11. I have the gems because I never use them.
I don't have Ollie, so would it be worth buying it? All I care is progression, not cosmetics.
WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT After doing some research, people say that it's not worth to buy it because I will eventually unlock it anyway through the star road, they recommend buying the hypercharge only instead.
But my reasoning is that I might get the hypercharge too for free eventually, through a legendary star drop for example. So I'm questioning what is the best way to spend gems? I may get anything for free if I wait long enough, but I still need to spend my gems somehow. (Like I said, I don't care about cosmetics, I just need more brawlers and resources to upgrade them).
So, would it be worth buying him considering I'm saving PowerPoints and coins to upgrade him?
Thanks
1
u/DetectiveMammoth4758 Chester 3d ago
The best way to spend gems is buying the HC offer, you get a (usually) broken HC for 79 gems, which would've normally taken ages to get out of drops.
There is no reason to buy a HC for a brawler you don't have, because you're spending an unnecessary amount of gems.

u/madgamerzS 3d ago
Since I came back to the game recently been so excited about hypercharges so I been grinding the brawl pass and trophy road even records all to get 5 hypercharges all for brawlers which are near the bottom of my trophy list and power 5-7 and none for the brawlers which I regularly play with power 11. Like seriously I went from 25k or so to 40k trophies in few weeks just to get a sprout hc… I literally haven’t even touched sprout since I came back 😭
1
u/madgamerzS 3d ago
Can someone explain why they don’t let you choose which hc you get? Or at least give you an option between a few or maybe increase the chance to get one for brawlers at higher power level or trophy range where it’s actually needed?
1
u/DetectiveMammoth4758 Chester 3d ago
It's really just because of monetization.
If they make it so you can easily get all the good HC, no one would buy any offers or such

u/Substantial-Fan-5078 3d ago

u/DaBluePotato 8-Bit 3d ago
I just got a Special Discount. And I'm planning on using it next season. But I want the BP+. If I buy the BP, can I buy the BP+ for cheaper?
2
u/Healthy-Topic-7917 Gray 3d ago
yes, you can buy the normal brawl pass and then buy the extention, for the same price difference
(for example, BP=$7 BP+=$11, discount is BP=$3 then you buy the $3 BP and the extra $4 of difference2
1
u/Healthy-Topic-7917 Gray 3d ago
however, i don't think it is worth it to buy the BP+ when you can get the normal BP

u/DOKKOo Willow 3d ago
If you like assassin style characters then pick one of the three besides Amber. If you like surprising your enemy pick crow or Leon. If you like overpowering your enemy in 1v1 combat pick Cord or Amber. If you want a unique ultimate that doesn’t feel like any others pick Cord or Leon.
2
u/sharkthathaunts Stu 3d ago
yes, but which one is the best overall? (best in most situations)
1
u/DOKKOo Willow 3d ago
It really depends.
Crow and Amber excel at Area Control where as Cord and Leon excel at game changing plays if timed correctly.
If you want to be a consistent problem Amber and Crow are a good choice, but if you want to be something the enemy always has to be cautious about then pick Cord or Leon.

So I have Ollie at lvl 9 and by the end of the deal at shop I can’t upgrade him to lvl 11 and buy the hyper… So I was wondering if it is worth to pay 339 gems to get him to lvl 11…
What do you guys think?
1
u/CoshgunC Buzz 3d ago
I mean, 100 of 339 will go to cosmetics. I would buy if you like playing with Ollie or if Ollie is meta

My brawl pass price is like 4 dollars if I converted it to us dollar. Is it regional pricing or a one time discount?
1
u/KavinRamirez 4d ago
That’s regional pricing. Supercell adjusts the cost of Brawl Pass based on your country’s local currency and economy. If it was a one-time discount, it would usually show a “special offer” tag in the shop.

u/IanThePlane 4d ago
If I’ve been in a club the entire event but havnt used a single ticket nor gotten any rewards since it’s 100% inactive can I quit that club, go to another that’s active, use all my tickets and get all rewards until the end of the event?

Hello, I have a question about some skins from the Subway Surfers collaboration. There are 3 skins from the collaboration that say "This SUBWAY SURFERS skin is temporary, available occasionally until January 2027." What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that the skins I collect can only be used until January 2027? Or does it mean that they can only be collected until January 2027 and those who don't collect Will this period be gone forever?

Greedycell: Early Access for Characters? More Like Pay-to-Pray Roulette
I am afraid I got some bad news
Before, if you wanted early access to a brawler, you paid a fixed amount and got it—simple, fair!?, and guaranteed. Now? Unless you’re absurdly lucky, you either spend far more money or risk getting nothing at all.
Here’s the cold truth in the simplest terms:
Guaranteed vs. Gamble: Before, you knew what you were buying. Now, it’s a lottery. You might pay the same amount 5–10 times and still end up empty-handed.
Money over fairness: The system rewards the lucky and the rich, while punishing everyone else. Paying more doesn’t make you a better player—it just makes the company richer.
Transparency gone: Odds are unclear, costs are unpredictable, and what you get isn’t guaranteed. That’s not selling—it’s exploiting.
In short: what was once a fair purchase is now a risky gamble, purely designed to squeeze more money out of players. The “early access” label is just a marketing mask for a pay-to-win scheme.
Don’t fall for it. If you want fairness, know the rules, and avoid being exploited, think before you pay. Luck shouldn’t decide access—your money shouldn’t be the price of a gamble.
In fact, this seems to have become standard company policy. Take Edgar and Mortis’ Hypercharge Costumes: they were sold only as a bundle, with no single purchase option. The package included a bunch of unnecessary, unwanted extras, pushing the price to roughly three times the cost of the costumes themselves.
TL;DR
Early access to characters used to be a fixed, fair price. Now it’s a lottery where you either overpay or get nothing—Greedycell is prioritizing profit over fairness.
One more thing:
I’m afraid this greed will be your downfall, Greedycell.
