Swiftly after the release of Season 18 - Rumble Jungle - in Brawl Stars, the devs have released a fresh set of balance changes that buffed and nerfed some of your favorite (or not so favorite) brawlers in the game.

It comes hot off the heels after the introduction of the new Chromatic brawler Maisie, three new Gears, and sweeping balance changes that were added during the season's launch.

That being said, we know you want to see which brawlers have been affected. So, here are all the balance changes that have landed in Brawl Stars in the May 2023 patch.
