Balance changes are a common occurrence in Brawl Stars. They're added to the game before the start of a new season to make way for new Brawlers, adjust the power levels of overperforming Brawlers, and raise those who may be suffering under the current meta.

With the Battle for Katana Kingdom season entering Brawl Stars for the month of May, a new set of balance changes has recently been implemented to the game. The season will see the addition of a Support known as Jae-yong, the start of an awesome four-part event, and cool new skins.
