A new Brawl Stars Brawl Talk released today, unveiling a new Brawler Rarity, new Brawlers (Kaze & Jae-Yong), and more. Furthermore, the new Brawl Talk showed more content on the way, including eight new Hypercharges, a new event, new modes, and much more. There's a lot to unpack here, so without further ado, let's dive right in!
Brawl Stars adding new Brawler rarity & new Brawlers – Kaze & Jae-Yong
Brawl Stars is adding a brand new Brawler Rarity, dubbed “Ultra Legendary,” with Kaze being the first Ultra Legendary Brawler in the game. Long ago, Supercell removed the Chromatic rarity from the game. But now, Brawl Stars once again has six rarities with Kaze leading the charge.
Kaze is technically two brawlers in one because she has two forms – a Geisha form and a ninja form. Both forms act differently, allowing Kaze players to mix and match the two forms and gain a competitive edge.
In her Geisha form, Kaze has a short-range melee attack similar to Mortis', but this one has a curved range. Like Shade, if she hits an enemy from a certain angle, she deals more damage. Her Super lets her throw a fan that traps enemies in a small area. Furthermore, if they try to leave, they take damage.
In this form, her Star Powers allow her to either take ammo away from her enemies trapped in her Super or slow down enemies if she can hit them within her Strike zone. For her gadgets, she'll either receive a speed boost or invisibility when switching forms.
Meanwhile, Kaze's ninja form lets her shoot throwing stars from a distance. Furthermore, her Ninja form's Super lets her dash forward a great distance, damaging enemies along the way.
In her Ninja form, her Star Powers either let her:
- Mark enemies who deal area damage when defeated
- Increases duration of effects triggered when switching to Ninja form (50%)
And for Star Powers, she'll either receive healing or a dash when switching forms. Overall, you can switch between both forms instantly, allowing for high-IQ plays.
Furthermore, if you unlock a Star Power for her Geisha form, you unlock a Star Power for her Ninja form. Lastly, Kaze also possesses two Hypercharges for each form. Check the Hypercharge section below to find out all the details!
Jae-Yong is the next new Brawler coming to Brawl Stars, and he'll arrive later in the season. This middle-aged office worker has two different main attacks to help him win.
Party Mode lets him throw a piercing projectile which heals teammates. Meanwhile, Work mode does the same thing but damages and pierces through enemies. Overall, both modes can be used to your advantage.
Unlike Kaze, you need to use Jae-Yong's Super to switch between modes. But at least you receive a buff when switching between them. Switching to party mode heals all nearby teammates. Furthermore, switching to Work mode provides a speed boost for teammates. Additionally, he possesses two Star Powers and Gadgets.
His Star Powers grant him a speed boost or additional damage to targets once they pierce them. His gadgets can do one of two things. It either increases his main attack damage temporarily while dealing area damage. Or he slows enemies around him and leaves a trail that slows enemies who walk on it.
We look forward to playing with Kaze and Jae-Yong in Brawl Stars!

Sushi & Limited-Time Wasabi Powers – Brawl Stars Brawl Talk
As you play through the event, you earn Sushi Rolls, and the more you gain, the more rewards you earn. Some of these rewards include new Brawlers, Hypercharges, Star Powers, Gadgets, Gems, the brand new Wasabi powers, and so much more.
Article Continues BelowOverall, Supercell is adding 60 Wasabi Powers for you to unlock during the event. These Wasabi Powers are broken up into four categories – Hot (20), Extra Hot (15), Crazy Hot (15), Inferno (10)
We'll have a dedicated guide on all Wasabi Powers and how to earn them, but we did see a few of them in action during the Brawl Talk. Stu's power enables him to shoot projectiles all around himself when boosting. Shelly fires her Super off in all directions in a massive range. Other examples include Mr. P, who now fires two suitcases per attack.
Overall, these Wasabi Powers are intentionally designed to make your Brawler overpowered. However, they can only be used in matches with the Wasabi modifier. Ranked players and those not feeling the event need not worry about them.
Additionally, the more Sushi you earn, the more you fill up your Sushi Meter. Fill this meter up to unlock even more rewards like a Hypercharge Skin, new Brawlers, and much more. This meter also stands as the only way to receive the Oni Kenji Hypercharge skin.
You receive Sushi rolls from Daily Wins, Free Rewards, Special Quests, Daily Contests, a Club Event, and from the Shop. The Club Event, Mega Buffet, requires you and your Clubmates to earn Sushi for great rewards. Each day, you receive four tickets to participate in the event. The more wins you earn, the more Sushi you and your Clubmates receive.
Brawl Stars Adding New Game Modes – Brawl Arena, Samurai Smash & Oni Hunt – Brawl Stars Brawl Talk
Furthermore, two new modes are coming to Brawl Stars during the Katana Kingdom event:
- Samurai Smash (5v5 or 3v3)- Destroy Samuraibots and enemy players to collect enough Daruma Dolls and win the match
- Oni Hunt – Similar to Rampage, fight a giant Oni Kenji with up to three players. Earn Sushi for beating him on Insane and Master difficulties
And while not technically a mode, Daily Contests return for the Katana Kingdom Event. Like previous Daily Contests, use your tickets, win matches, and earn rewards based on your performances.
Additionally, Brawl Stars is receiving a new MOBA mode called Brawl Arena. In this mode, your objective requires you to destroy an enemy base. Throughout the battle, you earn Arena XP after defeating enemies, which makes you stronger. Overall, you need to earn XP, become stronger, and defend your base, all while going after the enemy HQ.
Each match takes around five minutes, where all sorts of things occur. From AI bot waves, to a giant Kaiju, you'll face a lot of enemies during your mission to destroy the enemy base. However, this mode will not arrive until the June season.
