Brawl Stars September 29 Maintenance Update: Bug Fixes and Gameplay Improvements
The September 29 maintenance update fixed notable issues with two Brawlers, Angelo and Mina:
- Angelo’s main attack with the Hypercharge active lost damage over distance if the target was too far; this has been corrected to restore expected damage.
- Mina’s Zum Zum Zum Star Power failed to heal her when using High Scorer Mina’s Chroma skins. This bug was fixed to ensure proper healing.
- The description for Mina’s Super incorrectly showed "Duration" instead of "Damage" and was updated for accuracy.
