Brawl Stars Starr Force Update Patch Notes

Brawl Star‘s new Season – Starr Force – was announced a couple of days ago, and now we have the full list of patch notes to know exactly what is waiting for us in this new update. Let’s take a look.

New Chromatic Brawler – Colonel Ruffs

• Chromatic Brawler
• Main Attack – Shoots 2 parallel laser beams that bounce when hitting a wall
• Super Ability – Calls forth a supply drop that damages enemies and leaves a buff for friendly brawlers to pick up. The buff increases health and damage and is lost when the Brawler is defeated. It does not stack.
