Every month, Supercell releases a batch of balance changes to Brawl Stars that are meant to adjust the meta by reigning in overpowered Brawlers and improving underperforming ones. On February 25, they did just that after the launch of a new update that, for the most part, delivered a massive rework to the entire Ranked mode to make it more competitive and more rewarding.

The update also gears the game up for the arrival of several Hypercharges and the upcoming Dark Sands season where a new Brawler known as Finx will be added to the roster. Overall, it's definitely an exciting time in Brawl Stars at the moment as you can experiment with novel strategies while everyone adjusts to the latest balance changes.

This month's balance changes are slightly smaller compared to the ones we've had in the recent past. As the new update introduced six Hypercharges to the game, a few adjustments had to be made to accommodate them and this has resulted in nerfs for certain Brawlers such as Max and Lou. A handful of Brawlers saw their stats buffed. You can find an overview of February's buffs and nerfs below.
