Brawl Stars Subway Surfers Update Release Date
Brawl Stars is confirmed to collab with SYBO and Kiloo's iconic IP "Subway Surfers" in its next update! Running from September 2 to October 2, the upcoming Subway Surfers crossover infuses the colorful, graffiti-inspired style of Subway Surfers into the dynamic world of Brawl Stars, offering players 2 new characters, collaboration skins, cosmetics, items, and special events!
New Brawlers: Mina and Ziggy
Two Mythic Brawlers to Roster!
MINA
Mythic Brawler | Dashing Assassin | Damage Dealer
A versatile damage dealer with varied attack ranges and tactical wind-based abilities.
Mina is introduced as a Mythic Damage Dealer Brawler with a unique three-stage attack combo and a powerful Super that fits the dynamic urban theme of the Subway Surfers collaboration.
Basic Attack: Three-Part Combo
- Deals up to 8800 damage if all shots land.
- Mina’s basic attack consists of three shots with increasing damage and decreasing range: Her first shot is long-range with a small hitbox, dealing 1,600 damage. The second shot is medium-range with a medium hitbox, and Mina dashes slightly forward when firing, dealing 2,800 damage. And the third shot is close-range with a large hitbox, dealing a heavy 4400 damage. These shots must be chained in sequence within a short window; missing a shot resets the combo back to the first shot.
Super: Tornado Typhoon
- Summons a tornado that travels forward, dealing 2000 damage.
- The tornado knocks enemies airborne and briefly roots them in place, preventing movement. This crowd control effect increases her impact in team fights and combos well with her ranged attacks.
Gadgets
- Windmill Gyration: Creates a wind wall for 3 seconds that blocks projectile attacks, providing defensive utility.
- Capo-What?: Instantly recharges Mina’s Super if her next Super hits an enemy, allowing more frequent use of her powerful tornado.
Star Powers
- Zum Zum Zum: When Mina lands the third shot of her attack combo, she heals for 50% of the damage dealt, increasing her sustain in combat.
- Blown Away: Mina’s Super roots enemies on the spot, enhancing the crowd control effect for more strategic plays.
Playstyle
Mina requires precise timing and aims to chain her three-shot combo optimally and make the most of her healing and damage potential. Her Super and gadgets add defensive and offensive utility, enabling aggressive positioning and control in matches.
Ziggy
Mythic Brawler | Magician | Electric Power Controller
A Thrower-class with storm-themed attacks. Ziggy's abilities focus on controlling the battlefield with storm-themed attacks and mobility.
Basic Attack: Storm Strike
- Attacks by summoning a storm that hits after a short delay. Each storm strike deals 1,600 damage.
- The attack can hit through obstacles, allowing Ziggy to damage enemies behind cover.
Super: Massive Storm
- Ziggy’s Super creates a massive storm that travels through walls and obstacles.
- The massive storm slows enemies caught inside by approximately 20% for 1 second, applying a strong area control effect. Though slow-moving, it covers a wide area for strategic zoning.
Gadgets
- Homing Storm: Summons a storm that automatically targets the nearest enemy for 5 seconds (13-second cooldown).
- Storm Warp: Teleports Ziggy instantly to the location of his basic attack (13-second cooldown), providing high mobility.
Star Powers
- Static Surge: Ziggy's Super slows enemies by 20% for 1 second.
- Charged Attack: After hitting an enemy, Ziggy’s next attack deals 30% increased damage, boosting his offensive potential.
Playstyle
Ziggy excels at area control through slowing enemies and creating pressure zones with his storm attacks. His ability to attack through walls and teleport to his attack location gives him tactical flexibility for positioning and disrupting opponents. Although his damage is moderate, his crowd control and mobility make him a unique control-oriented brawler.
