Are you wondering what Traits in Brawl Stars are? In this guide, we'll explain them all and how they affect your Brawler.
One of the aspects of Brawl Stars that doesn't get talked about often is Brawler Traits. These are either passive abilities that help your Brawler charge up their Supers or unique passives that affect how your Brawler behaves.
They're relatively simple to understand, but they can greatly impact how you strategize your attacks and the play style you approach a Brawler with. That said, it's important you get to grips with them.
All Brawler Traits in Brawl Stars
There are currently eight Brawler Traits in Brawl Stars. You can find an explainer of how each one works in the table below:
Icon | Trait | Description |
 | Damage | Brawlers with the Damage Trait can charge up their Supers when they take damage. This Trait can usually be found on Tank Brawlers such as Frank, Jacky, and Rosa. |
 | Hover | Brawlers with the Hover Trait can float over water. This Trait can be found in Brawlers such as Angelo and Eve. |
 | Increased Damage | Brawlers with the Increased Damage Trait will have the damage from their main attack increase over time. This currently only affects Pearl. |
 | Power Token | Brawlers with the Power Token Trait gain Tokens as they hit enemies. These increase the power of the Brawler. |
 | Proximity | Brawlers with the Proximity Train charge their Super based on either how close they are to allies (such as Buster) or to enemies (such as Buzz and Cordelius). |
 | Random | Brawlers with the Random Trait will have their Super ability randomly chosen. At the moment, this only affects Chester. |
 | Super Healing | Brawlers with the Super Healing Traint charge their Supers simply by healing. |
 | Time | Brawlers with the Time Trait either charge their Supers over time (such as Chuck and Edgar) or start matches with their Supers fully charged (such as Sam). |
Supercell may add more Traits to Brawl Stars in the future, so keep an eye on this space!
How to Check a Brawler's Trait
To check on what Trait a Brawler has, follow the steps outlined below:
- In the Brawl Stars Main Menu, tap on the 'Brawlers' button on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Select the Brawler you want to check on.
- Then, tap on the Brawler's stats menu.
- A new menu will appear where you can see the Brawler's Trait listed under the 'Trait' section.
Keep note that not all Brawlers have a Trait. So this means that sometimes you'll encounter a Brawler who has nothing listed under their 'Trait' section.
