How to Upgrade Brawlers
Progression Systems
| Resource | Used For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | Upgrade brawlers | Matches, quests, boxes |
| Power Points | Upgrade brawlers | Matches, quests |
| Gems | Buy skins, boxes | Paid or free track |
| Star Points | Star Powers, gadgets | Trophy rewards |
Upgrade Priority
- Power 1 → 9 (level up brawler stats)
- Star Power (unique passive ability at Power 9)
- Gadget (unique active ability at Power 7)
- Power 10 → 11 (with gears at Power 10-11)
Priority: Upgrade your 2-3 favorite brawlers to Power 9+ before spreading resources across many brawlers.
Star Powers & Gadgets
Each brawler has 2 Star Powers (choose 1) and 2 Gadgets (choose 1).
Examples
| Brawler | Star Power 1 | Star Power 2 | Best Gadget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larry & Lawrie | Shield when Lawrie dies | Heal on ammo reload | TP gadget |
| Kit | Extra damage | Heal on attach | Jump gadget |
| Draco | Longer dragon form | Fire trail | Shield gadget |
Rule of thumb: Choose the Star Power that fits your playstyle (aggressive vs defensive).
