Brawl Stars Beginner's Guide: How to Play in 13 Steps

Brawl Stars Battle Stage

Part 1: Which Brawler Type Do You Need?

Brawl Stars has 39 brawlers, each with a unique attack and defense kit. Since every brawler has different attacks, make sure you choose the right one!

Choosing a Brawl Stars Game Mode

There are 6 main game modes: Gem Grab, Brawl Ball, Heist, Siege, Bounty and Showdown. There are also special game modes such as Robo Rumble, Super City Rampage and Big Game. Each special game mode has levels starting from Normal up to Insane.

• In Gem Grab, the goal is to collect 10 gems as fast as possible. Avoid dying because you will drop the gems you are carrying. To collect gems, you can take gems from the mine or steal them from your opponent when they die.
• In Bounty, you earn stars as you kill your opponents. At the end of the game, the team with more stars wins.
• In Brawl Ball, you try to put the ball into the other team's goal. Killing opponents gives you an advantage in scoring.
• In Siege, try to collect bolts to build your team's "Siege Bot", and after you collect them, your siege bot can attack the other team's turret. The side that deals more damage to the other team's turret or destroys it completely wins.
• In Heist, your goal is to destroy the enemy and secure your own safety.
• In Showdown, you must be the last brawler standing. You need to collect boxes for Power Cubes and kill other players to win.

To fire quickly in Brawl Stars, tap the red joystick.

With quickfiring you attack the nearest opponent. Instead of dragging the red joystick, quickfiring is easier because it attacks the nearest brawler. After you see your opponent, all you need to do is tap.

To move in Brawl Stars, drag the blue joystick.

While moving, there will be a white dot in front of you. This dot will help you tell which direction you are going.

Don't Forget to Reload Your Ammo While Playing Brawl Stars!

Ammo is shown in the orange bars under your username. When your ammo runs out, you need to wait for it to reload. Except for some exception brawlers such as Max, Bea and Carl, brawlers have 3 ammo slots.

Charge Your Character's Super in Brawl Stars.

Super is an ability every brawler has. It is a great power that can protect you or hurt other enemies. Once your Super is charged, attacking your opponent will cause huge damage. You can tell it is charged when the button in the bottom right corner turns yellow and makes a sound.

Part 2: Get More Brawlers

Open boxes.

There are 3 types of boxes. The smallest box is the Brawl Box, which contains 1 to 3 items. The other, the Big Box, contains 1 to 4 items. The largest box is the Mega Box, which contains 1 to 7 items. In boxes, you can earn tokens and use them to get gadgets your brawlers can use in matches, or earn Power Points that let you upgrade brawlers, including new ones that can help you win more trophies. If you are lucky, even a Chromatic or Legendary brawler can drop from a box.

Buy something from the shop.

The shop is where you go when you need more items or brawlers. You can use your gems to buy brawlers, boxes and coins. To use the shop, you will need to earn gems from Brawl Pass rewards or use real money.

Progress on the trophy road.

Trophy Road is an area where you earn many different rewards as you win trophies. These include various brawlers, boxes and coins.

Win matches.

The more matches you win, the more boxes you can open. When you lose matches, your chance decreases and you lose some trophies. Try to win as many matches as possible!

Part 3: Build Your Team.

In Brawl Stars, invite club members and friends.

You will see your club members and friends in your Online Players list. To invite them, you need to click the green "Invite" button.  You can also invite friends by going to the suggested friends list and clicking send friend request. You can join different teams by going to the Club section.

Join other people's clubs.

If you want to join a player's team, click the green ''Ask to Join'' button you will see and wait for them to accept you. If they do not accept, it will say ''Team Join Request Declined''.

Others want to add you to their team.

Some people may invite you to their teams. You can click accept or decline. If you are not in a friendly match, the maximum number of people on a team is 3. Up to 10 people can join friendly matches.  In friendly matches you can use all brawlers' abilities at the highest level.
