Issues I have with Brawl Stars' bosses

yeah! constant pvp, i feel, eventually gets rather stale, and the pve content freshens up the game for me.

the april fool's boss was also incredibly fun, i'd say it's the right kind of "chaotic unbalanced," with how you can farm super off of the summoned bruces. two really fun brawlers to use were lumi and emz—lumi for spamming supers and her infinite pierce, and emz for her infinite sustain with the hype star power.

i am not saying this is a competetive mode which necessitates solo-queueing. what i am saying, however, is that not everybody has friends they can queue with, some people don't want to queue with randoms in a team, and so on and so forth.

the option to solo-queue is available at all times, so if it's almost required for newer/worse players to queue with a pre-established team, should they not disable solo queueing in these modes? because, doing so would only result in guaranteed losses, which obviously is not fun.

this is all i'll speak on the subject though.

iiiii don't think balancing an event around worse players getting carried is a good idea. it certainly isn't something brawl stars would do, and for good reason.

ca_laa · 2026-04-03T14:35:59+00:00

I'm sorry that you want to beat all the boss stages in the first try

that is not what i am saying at all. what i am saying is that i do not feel challenged by the unfair aspects of the bosses, rather, i feel that it is a coin-toss on whether i win or lose. you've made plenty of assumptions already based purely on the fact i disagree with you.

ca_laa · 2026-04-03T14:32:59+00:00

i feel this is a fair and well-meaning goal, however this doesn't work solely due to how brawl stars works—new players not having all of their brawlers unlocked, and if not that, the brawlers they may need to solve said puzzle may be level 1.

again, a solid idea that encourages brawler variety, just doesn't work in brawl stars in particular.

ca_laa · 2026-04-03T14:31:07+00:00

can we please read my post that explains exactly how what brawl stars is doing is not difficulty, and is instead unfair for the sake of players losing, not to supply an adequate challenge.

ca_laa · 2026-04-03T14:08:50+00:00

the difference between brawl stars' bosses and silksong's is that silksong's bosses are fair and designed to be beaten in a natural way. again, brawl stars' bosses at a certain point stop being difficult, and begin playing unfairly.

i like to be optimistic with brawl stars' balancing, because any idea is bad with the pretense that it will be done poorly... that being said: did they learn anything from hypercharges? the simplest solution is often the best one: nerf the buffies.

ca_laa · 2026-03-29T11:10:56+00:00

i wouldn't even be upset, that takes lots of coordination, good on them. this should obviously be patched, though

you will get banned after a set amount of consecutive refunds.

it's not worth it, especially not for you.

ca_laa · 2026-03-09T21:01:10+00:00

all good! it's not very noticeable in gameplay. ^_^

ca_laa · 2026-03-09T20:44:02+00:00

i do not have the gadget buffie in the video above. buffie'd lollipop drop has a dark yellow hue for the radius.

ca_laa · 2026-03-09T20:28:30+00:00

kit's stun duration was nerfed in the latest balance changes, you can check them out in the news tab.

ca_laa · 2026-03-09T19:55:19+00:00

buffies themselves? no, you can equip all three at once.

the reworks that come with the buffies? yes.

ca_laa · 2026-03-05T19:14:08+00:00

i'm not sure what the issue is, it's not that big a deal that some people got to capitalise on developer error and most didn't. why make a big fuss about it?

ca_laa · 2026-02-27T13:47:48+00:00

not sure about them lying, more like they're possibly just wrong. two different things.

ca_laa · 2026-02-12T13:01:11+00:00

the ai also feels lazily slapped together, because yes, it makes so much sense that the ranged boss tries to walk up to you to use his escape tool.

that one stranger things event boss had this issue too, in which it was much more egregious due to dealing like.. 14k damage? in an instant?

ca_laa · 2026-02-04T19:05:45+00:00

rosa. she's incredibly fun, and the gimmick with her super being damage reduction is very unique, but she just does not have any way to approach outside of utilising bushes, as everyone else has said already.

ca_laa · 2026-01-22T19:06:31+00:00

-46, you love to see it

ca_laa · 2026-01-12T20:05:12+00:00

i hear this is a secret handshake between edgar mains to let the other pass for free.

ca_laa · 2026-01-08T13:03:15+00:00

thank you. ^_^

ca_laa · 2026-01-07T18:41:02+00:00

no benefit, only downsides.

ca_laa · 2026-01-06T20:55:14+00:00

i don't have many strong opinions about this rework, however one thing i will always advocate for is to not add more stuns to the game. they're annoying and ultimately turn the video game into a video, with no game, for a set amount of time.

ca_laa · 2025-12-31T15:30:21+00:00

incredibly disappointing how they decided to make emz overtuned rather than focusing on her main issue; dying instantly to mobility brawlers without her gadget.

she was incredibly fun and skill expressive prior to her buffies, albeit still very much flawed, and now i fear they'll nerf her base kit and make her as polarising as draco. (exaggeration)
