Which skin are YOU most excited for?!?! The OctoFang Giveaway is happening on my Discord server ► discord.gg/kairos

Really glad they’re bringing back the brawler descriptions from the beta days. Imo talking about their lore/personality is a way better description than just saying what their main attack & super does when you can already check that on their stats page + training cave. Good stuff!

I'm really glad that the new Brawler descriptions focuses more on the Brawlers themselfs than their mechanics

One thing I think would be really cool is having a boss fight on Darryl's ship against the kraken and you gotta defeat the tentacles where afterwards the boss itself will go on the ship towards the top of the map and will slowly destroy parts of the map making it so you can't walk on those areas and acting as a timer of when the ship will be completely destroyed unless you defeat the boss in time

As far as skins go, I’m just hoping they do for Penny what they did for Brock, Rico and Dynamike, I don’t mind her new look (the skill is very apparent!) but I still found her old full bandanna’d look a bit more iconic :) (also a huge fan of the new descriptions, adds a tiny bit more flavor)

I kind of wished that Groms Aim marker was a "+" and not an "x" ... That would make its attacks easier to hit. And it would make sense...

The Grom buff is giving me Vietnam flashbacks to his release.

I’ve been playing since beta and the lore that they gave to the brawlers in the this upcoming update already had that exact story, mostly all of their descriptions right now just talk about their attacks and super. I love that they decided to bring back the OG stuff. Can’t wait to see what everyone else’s story is !

What I think is cool is the Barley’s Last Call animation pretty much actioning what Barley’s new/old description says. In the animation when his bar gets destroyed, he starts steaming and is throwing bottles everywhere.

Love these videos that show the nerfs and buffs really clearly. Also thanks for having the motivation to help other players and do this type of content❤

Damn, I wish we got more balance changes. There are so many more brawlers that need nerfs and so many more brawlers that need buffs. Squeak, Ash, Bonnie and Crow will still run rampant in the meta, while brawlers like El Primo, Shelly, Edgar and Jacky will be trash for the whole summer. Everything else is fine tho, I am happy we are getting more quality of life imporovements. Maybe we'll finally get gear changes in the future.

i’m glad they added some of the old brawler descriptions back, i was sad when they first changed crows so it’s nice to see it again

I'm worried that Grom with the damage buff and his second star power combine with his second gadget he will demolish non tank brawlers. About Eve nerf, yeah that really need it.

I remember this new Crow description was his very original description if I'm not wrong definitely prefer this one as it gives some background to the character :D

This season looks so good🔥 • I especially love the penny remodel it looks more clean👌 • The new mix of wipeout and showdown seems too be good. Its like the old bounty showdown gamemode😲 • Best of all is that they are making more challenges🤩 Its the Best feeling when you win them, so thats a good thing.

Already sneak peaks!? Thanks for making amazing content!

It’s boring when brawler descriptions explain their kit cause you can already look through their kit by pressing on the stats, having actual lore for the characters makes more sense and is better

I get soooo exited whenever I see that notification from kairos It’s just heartwarming to me

I actually really like the new descriptions and hope more get updated in the future

4:22 exactly. I got kicked because I lost one power match for cl and I had been a active member in the club, doing everything I could. I hate how some people have insane demands to get only wins in cl. This change should help👍👍

When Sneak Peek comes, I Always choose Kairos videos because Kairos videos are more informative than anyone!!

The announcer voice effects are so cool addition in Brawl Stars, and I would not be surprised at all if this announcer voice effects will be added in more gamemodes in future ..

Another awesome video! Keep it up my man! And also hyped for you, lex and oj trying out the new brawler 💪

Always love to see this kind of video each update from you kairos, also Is it the first video to be much clearer and smoother since it is 60fps? That’s much better!

I wish the club quest was 3 huge quest that had shared progression between all club members

Bibi's Bubble is Van! I wish Van got in as a skin tbh. Van is my favourite. Also aesthetic wise, Van would probably look better on edgar lol

8:55 if I had to guess I'd say that might be takoyaki, which is essentially octopus balls (not in a weird way). Also I, like many others, am so glad they're making better brawler descriptions. So much better than the generic trash from before.

8:14 just to say this was the exact text than appeared when you unlocked Tara in beta brawl stars

Hopefully the balance changes would cool down the drama going on with frank and the summer of disappointment or whatever.

I'm really sad about the change to club league. Half of my club is inactive, so for me it's actually a really big need to my club coins

I might be a weird person and I barely play the game now, but I enjoy your "balance changes" videos sooo much. Its just soo relaxing :) thank you!

Awesome to see some old descriptions come back!

Wait, Is Pirate Ship environment coming back?! If it happens, I would be so happy because it's one of my favourite environment...

The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.

@kairos You missed out on one more balance change: Sandy's basic attack is nerfed from 1380 to 1290 (at power 11)

I really love the good content and I always go to your channel for the new leaks as you give it in detail of the precentages and your own opinion of how strong you think they are.

The octofang skin is cool and the BT21 skins are all so cute but the tick one...not really 🤔but im grateful he is getting a new skin as well, it's been too long...i heard Sandy could be getting another nerf, really hope it's not true cause he has had so many already, he is practically going to be unplayable if they nerf him again 😢 Thanks for the upload Kairos 🌸🙌

Someday spike will get unfairly buffed, and I’ll wait for that day

What would I do without you old friend!? Thank you, once again for explaining. The sandy skin is the best. I'm upset they changed the sound fx for brawl ball and penny looks nowhere near as good but oh well. Still love bs lol

Fun fact some of the new brawler descriptions are the original descriptions from the brawler from when the game was in beta, with these discriptions being brock and crow

I find the Janet “nerf” very underwhelming. Ok what I thought was a glitch is no longer in the game, but what about her main attack mechanics? They’re broken! Or her super in general giving you time to escape enemies! Why was this one gadget being used in mid air really the issue?

Im still salty about gunslinger colt not having any special attack effects.

I’m worried that the grom buff will overpower too many tanks lol. This will most likely put him up higher on the thrower list.

Finally balance changes thanks man ❤️ What you say bout new penny

I think this update is pretty solid, but I don't feel like we've gotten anything huge in a long time.

7:26 What...? Did you skip the Sandy nerf? He dealt 860 damage to you as opposed to the current 920 damage at power 1 7:45 flaming ball makes a **blazing** return! Oh,and btw,loving the new brawler descriptions(although anything is better than "their attack is this,their super is that")

Just wanna sat a thabks to kairos for showing all that! Also wow im very happy about the brawlers description cuz now we get more character development and depth! (Hope next next update is for Nitas environment and she gets her buffs she deserves and, LORE of her and BRUCE!) thanks again for the sneak peeks kairos!

Thank you so much Kairos time

The thing I hate about the Brawl Pass skin we get at the beginning, is that since it needs to be a skin for Brawlers that most people have or are easy to get, we'll likely never really get any cool skins with the Brawl Pass for higher rarity Brawlers like Meg, Tara, or Spike. I mean, there are currently 57 brawlers in the game and this is Colt's second Brawl Pass skin he's gotten.

Let SUPERCELL please remove the “final ammo” sound from Carl’s attack. It annoys me sooo much and Bee, who alse only has one ammo, doesn’t have this sound effect

WOAH they have the old beta descriptions that’s sick

I gave a really good skin idea the brown tick reminded me of coconuts I think a coconut tick would be really cool

"Perfectly balanced, as all things should be" -Sun Tzu, The Art of Starr Park

Hi Kairos just wanted to say that Im a big fan! Keep up the good work

Bibi RJ’s super is a robot named Van! In the story, the 7 bt21 friends travel together everywhere on Van! (basically somewhat like a space shuttle+baymax)

I suspect more balance changes but some of them are necessary like Eve and Byron nerf. Do want to see more changes to other brawlers like El Primo, Nita, and, Jacky to be at least viable to the changing meta

The new penny remodel is actually cool honestly. Better than the jessie on imo but the style is different than the other brawlers

The balance changes are so few and so underwhelming every single update, the devs just don’t care do they.

9:57 Surfer Carl is the best tier 1 skin.

This is really top content. Nobody does it like you do. With plenty of details, very informative and also fun at times. If I only have to watch one Brawl Stars video, it must definitely be yours. Cheers

Only 5 real balance changes?….. I’m done with this game this summer and devs who just straight blew off their community…… but I will keep watching your videos Kairos because you deserve it . Also props to your for continuing to deal with these devs especially after two AMAZING videos and them basically say “We don’t care.”

I hope you get absolutely brutal in your review. I’ve seen you always have an aura of positivity “devs always listen, devs deserve our trust”, when the community was cynical. With what frank said, I feel betrayed?? Like our trust has gone to waste…. They have no intention to change it…. I feel nothing but rage, I don’t know how you can defend them. I hope it’s high time for that petition you talked about.

So cool how supercell brought back some of the older brawler descriptions

0:57 OH HOLY SH*T I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT

What?! A sneak peak already?! I’m really hyped 🤩🤩🤩

the Line Friend skins are so cute 😆 Might have to get them 😭

So they’re really bringing back old descriptions of the brawlers and giving us lore of them? Heck yeah!

11:55 i'm not sure exactly what information you're looking for, but the super's name is 'van' and you can also see van on bibi rj's shirt! he's a space robot, and he protects the other line friends.

11:57 the bibis ult is VAN who is another BT21 charcater and a robot. imsad that they didnt make a skin like: Van Surge😢

Fun fact: some of these are the descriptions that the brawlers used to have back in the day when brawl stars first came out

I've got Grom right after he got nerfed but he's still my favorite brawler to play with , I'm so happy that he's getting a buff

i noticed they also nerfed sandy, on the skin showcase sandy only deals 1290 and the old sandy used to deal 1380

The club league change also gives a better chance to smaller clubs wo don't have that many players

11:54 Her super is the troy robot, which can take any form

Sandy too seems to get attack nerf from 1380 (i think) to 1290

Hey I have watched ur channel for pretty long great job keep it up

I love you and your videos, you are somewhat carrying Brawl Stars from their inevitable death by entertaining us in so many fun ways.

Fun Fact:Grom is Now Able to 3 shot Buzz if aimed perfectly with his 2nd sp

Janets gadget is called *DROP* the bass, I thought it made sense she could use it while flying but I guess not??

cool balance changes and updates but when are they gonna touch gears and when are they gonna do something to belles 2nd star power

the OG brawler descriptions are back LETS GOOOO

Thz for information

I'm so glad they bought back the old wild west theme's Descriptions of Brawlers!!.. I'm Excited.

8:15 that creepy underwater plant life looks a little sus 😳😂

Sandy also got a damage nerf. At level 1, it's from 920 to 860. Eve's super charge rate also got nerfed

What would be cool is that there should be a massive quest like win 100 battles or smt and everyone in the club works together to compete it. This would be more fun and engaging

I just saw that they also nerfed Sandy's base damage, and they changed Eve's super charging speed.

I think is really cool that they're giving fang a new skin because I've been using fang a lot and yeah the furious fang skin is cool but it's gonna be nice to have a change.

Bull Mang has to be one of my favorite skins in the game right now. It does not give off bull vibes at all and I love it.

8:01 Gettin' back the beta descriptions of brawlers, seemingly like

Guess my skin would be octofang...Just live his karate style😂😂. Waiting for penny's remodeling and modification, I'd be covering a showdown video of new penny vs old penny🔥🔥🔥

planning on pushing rank 35. carl rank 35 would look so good

I can only imagine club descriptions having 'Do club quests or kick'

I predict the most op brawler in your next tier list is Ash or Crow

Crows description is a refrence to the beta days. Cool.

7:15 That loading screen is SICK!

Only og's remember the new crow description and tara

I love these patch notes! It helps so much!

His super is call (van)which is made by the creator of bt21 ,the patterns on his shirt also mach with the bubble

do you think they should change grom attack on how it was before? if he throws the ball shorter range it won’t fly up it will go straight to how far you want it to go
