Buzz’s “broken” Hypercharge ability in Brawl Stars dialed back before release

Brawl Stars fans breathe a sigh of relief as the developers adjust Buzz’s “overpowered” Hypercharge ability before it hits live servers.

Brawl Stars, the popular multiplayer online battle arena game by Supercell, is known for its fast-paced action and diverse cast of characters, each bringing unique abilities to the fray.

As the game gears up for its major Season 24 update, players have been eagerly anticipating the introduction of six new Hypercharge abilities, designed to supercharge brawlers with powerful buffs.

One Hypercharge ability, however, quickly stood out from the rest.

Buzz’s Hypercharge was flagged by content creators and early access players as being excessively powerful, labeling it “broken” and “overpowered.” This sparked concerns about game balance and the potential for Buzz to dominate the upcoming season after shooting to the top of the Brawl Stars tier list.

Addressing the community’s feedback, Adrian Haggqvist, gameplay designer for Brawl Stars, announced adjustments to Buzz’s Hypercharge.

“Wanted to quickly let you know, as the team have the opportunity with the update maintenance, that the team’ve decided to change Buzz’s Hypercharge slightly; You now only reset your super if you hit a wall, NOT brawlers,” Haggqvist tweeted.
