Brawl Stars v67 Update: Coming Changes, New Brawler Damian, and Bling Overhaul

With Brawl Talk expected to drop on April 18th, this update promises to be a substantial one, bringing a major currency overhaul, a batch of new Hypercharges (Buffies), and at least one confirmed new brawler to shake up the meta.

Whether you're here for the free gems or the demonic vocalist joining the roster, here is a comprehensive breakdown of everything we know so far about the next chapter of Brawl Stars .

The Bling Economy Shift: New Shop, New Rules

Arguably the most significant systemic change coming in the v67 update is the complete overhaul of the Bling economy and the cosmetic shop.

The End of the Catalog Era

The update will remove the ability to purchase skins directly from the traditional catalog using Bling. Instead, the shop is transitioning to a rotating, dynamic storefront. Players can expect a system reminiscent of the Krusty Krab shop from the Sponge Bob collaboration event. This means specific skins and cosmetic offers will appear randomly, often at discounted prices, requiring players to check in regularly if they have their eye on a particular item.

Bling Bundles and Progression Purchases

To balance the loss of direct catalog access, Supercell is introducing Bling Bundles. These are purchasable packs that contain a random assortment of rewards, which can include skins, pins, sprays, Starr Drops, and—for the first time—actual progression resources. This is a massive shift: Bling will no longer be exclusively for cosmetics. Players will be able to spend their currency on bundles that might contain coins, power points, or even potentially hypercharges, giving free-to-play players a new avenue to advance their account alongside collecting cosmetics .

Earning Adjustments

To fuel this new system, the free track of the Brawl Pass will reportedly contain more Bling, and new Bling Mega Quests are expected to provide larger, seasonal payouts. However, it's worth noting that the drop rate of skins from Starr Drops and other boxes is expected to be reduced slightly to drive traffic to the new shop system. The update encourages you to save as much Bling as possible right now—you never know how expensive that legendary skin discount might be when the shop refreshes.

New Brawler Spotlight: Damian

After weeks of teases and a distinct voice cameo in the "Dragons and Fairies" animation, we finally have a visual on Damian, the newest member of the Medieval Manor trio(alongside Draco and Lumi). A leaked promotional poster gave the community its first clear look at this mysterious figure, and the design has certainly thrown some curveballs.

Contrary to earlier speculation that Damian might be a softer, more empathetic counterpart to the prideful Draco, the leaked art depicts a much more demonic and metallic aesthetic. He is a larger-framed brawler, fitting the bill of a potential tank, with a striking asymmetrical design. Notably, his boots are mismatched—one appears standard while the other resembles a dragon head with a built-in speaker. This aligns perfectly with his role as the vocalist of the band, rounding out the musical theme of the trio.

Potential Mechanics: The Winged Tank?

While his exact rarity and stats remain under wraps, his visual bulk strongly suggests a higher HP pool. Community sentiment leans toward him possessing the Tank trait (charging super from damage taken), but there is hope for something more nuanced. The wings on his back in the poster have fueled speculation that he may have a self-buff or team-buff mechanic, possibly granting a speed boost or shield when certain conditions are met. Given Lumi's unique freezing abilities and Draco's stage-diving antics, a support-tank hybrid with an aura or buffing ability would be a fascinating addition to the current meta.

 

Hypercharge Batch

Alongside the new content, six brawlers are scheduled to receive their Buffies in the v67 update. Based on a combination of developer build leaks and pattern analysis, the next two trios to get fully charged up are Brock's Arcade Trio and Edgar's Gift Shop Trio.

Confirmed via Dev Builds

Early footage from the Korean Brawl Stars YouTube channel inadvertently showcased gameplay with Edgar sporting the distinct Hypercharge indicator circles. Following the established pattern that Hypercharges roll out by completing entire trios, we can confidently expect Edgar, Colette, and Griff to all receive their Hypercharges in this update.

The Arcade Trio Joins the Fray

Similarly, screenshots from a draft version of a developer roadmap video showed that Brock had a gear slot deleted—a telltale sign that a Hypercharge is replacing it. This confirms that Rico and 8-Bit will also be joining the Hypercharge club. Prepare for potentially devastating ricochet patterns from Rico and some heavy-hitting damage output from 8-Bit.

 

Additional Updates and Quality of Life Changes

• New Brawl Cup Skin: A fresh cosmetic tied to the competitive scene is expected to drop.
• Nani's Hypercharge: The surveillance expert is also on the shortlist to receive her Hypercharge, likely bringing chaos to long-range control maps.
• Gotcha Changes for Brazil: Significant legal or regional adjustments to the game's random reward mechanics (often referred to as "Gotcha" changes) are slated for implementation specifically for the Brazilian server.
• Mina's Fairy Skin: A new skin for Mina battling a frog is on the way, adding a whimsical touch to the Dragons and Fairies season.

 

Conclusion

The v67 update is shaping up to be a foundational shift for Brawl Stars, particularly in how players value and spend their resources. The move toward a rotating Bling shop adds a layer of FOMO and excitement to daily logins, while the new brawler Damian promises to add some heavy metal energy to the Medieval Manor. With the Brawl Talk scheduled for April 18th, the wait is nearly over. Keep your Bling stockpiled, keep an eye on the Supercell Store for those weekend freebies, and get ready—the next era of Brawl Stars is just days away.
