Balance Changes: Buffs, Nerfs and New Hypercharges
The newest balance update has landed and the meta is already shifting. Several long-standing top-tier picks took targeted nerfs, opening the door for brawlers that have been sitting on the bench.
The big nerfs
A handful of S-tier control and assassin brawlers had their damage or super-charge rate tuned down. The changes are subtle on paper but meaningful in practice — fights that used to be one-sided are now genuine trades, which rewards smarter positioning over raw stats.
Buffs and new Hypercharges
On the buff side, underused brawlers picked up quality-of-life improvements: faster reloads, wider hitboxes and better super utility. The headline addition is a fresh batch of Hypercharges that give even more brawlers access to their game-changing ultimate upgrades.
Expect the tier list to settle over the next week as players adapt. If your main got hit, do not panic — the meta always finds a new balance, and off-meta picks are stronger than they have been in months.
