A new set of balance changes has arrived in Brawl Stars and they're absolutely massive. Well, not really.

The August balance changes introduce buffs and nerf that seek to remedy certain brawlers, Gadgets, and Star Powers that have either been too weak or powerful in the current meta.

Besides this, a crucial bug fix was implemented to resolve an issue that caused the game to crash when players launched the app.

But back to the main point, here's a look at the Brawl Stars balance changes for August 2023.
