All Game Items in Brawl Stars

This guide covers every major item type in Brawl Stars: Brawlers, Gadgets, Star Powers, Gears, currencies, materials, loot boxes, and cosmetics. Each section explains what the item does, how to obtain it, when it is useful, and any important synergies or upgrades. All information is current as of Season 20 (Deep Sea).

1. Brawlers (Playable Characters)

Brawlers are the core "weapons" of the game. Each has a unique main attack, Super ability, and stats. They are not inventory items but act as your primary equipment in battle.

Rarities & Unlock Methods

Upgrades & Power Levels

• Each brawler can be upgraded from Power 1 to Power 11 using Power Points and Coins.


• At Power 9, the brawler's Star Power (passive ability) and Gadget (active ability) slots unlock. You must obtain each item separately.


• At Power 11, Gear slots unlock (2 slots, each holding 1 Gear).


• Hypercharge (available at Power 11) is a temporary super-boost; obtain Hypercharge items from Starr Drops or Shop.




Synergies & Strategy



• Choose brawlers that complement the map and game mode. For example, throwers (Barley, Tick) excel on walls-heavy maps; tanks (Bull, Rosa) are strong in close-quarter maps.


• A brawler’s Star Power and Gadget can drastically change playstyle. Mortis’s Gadget Combo Spinner helps secure kills, while his Star Power Creepy Harvest heals on kill.

2. Gadgets & Star Powers (Abilities)



These are equippable abilities that enhance a brawler’s performance in battle. Each brawler has two Gadgets and two Star Powers (except some Chromatics with three).



Gadgets



• Description: One-time-use active ability per match. Press the gadget button during a match to activate. Cooldown is 1 use until the next match (unless you have the Gadget Disabler Gear).


• How to Obtain: Random drops from Brawl Boxes, Buy in Shop for 1000 Coins or 79 Gems, or complete special events.


• When Useful: In tight situations (heal, escape, stun). Example: Darryl’s Recoiling Tosser knocks back enemies and reloads his ammo.


• Upgrades: Gadget Cooldown can be reduced by the Cooldown Gear (see Gears), but the item itself is not upgraded.




Star Powers



• Description: Passive ability that is always active once unlocked. Only one can be equipped at a time.


• How to Obtain: Random drops from Brawl Boxes, purchase for 2000 Coins, or from Brawl Pass rewards.


• When Useful: Typically provide consistent damage, healing, or utility. Example: Colt’s Slick Boots increases his movement speed while attacking.


• Synergy: Some Star Powers work well with specific Gears. For instance, Heal Star Power combined with the Damage Gear boosts damage output while healing.

3. Gears (Equipment)

Gears are stat-enhancing items available once a brawler reaches Power 11. Each brawler has 2 Gear slots that can be filled with any combination of Gears (except legendaries have 3 slots? Actually all at P11 have 2 slots).

Types of Gears

• How to Obtain: Buy from the Gear Shop for Coins. Rarely from Brawl Boxes. Also available via Starr Drops.


• When Useful: Gears should match your playstyle. Damage Gear for aggressive brawlers, Shield Gear for tanks, Vision Gear for controlling areas.


• Upgrades: Gears cannot be upgraded; they have a fixed effect. You can scrap unwanted Gears for Scrap (see Materials).

4. Currencies

Brawl Stars has multiple currencies with distinct purposes. Always know which to save and which to spend.

• Important: Never spend Gems on regular Brawl Boxes. Always save Gems for the Brawl Pass (169 Gems per season) which gives far more value.


• Synergies: Coins and Power Points are linked – you need both to upgrade.

---

5. Materials (Upgrade Components)

These are resources used to advance your brawlers and equip abilities.

• Synergy: Power Points and Coins must be balanced. Prioritize upgrading one brawler at a time rather than spreading resources thin.


• Tip: Use Gear Scraps only for Gears you actually want, not random ones.

---

6. Loot Boxes & Starr Drops

Loot boxes are the main source of random rewards. They are obtained through gameplay, Brawl Pass, and shop purchases.

• Strategy: Open boxes gradually; there is no benefit to saving them. Use Starr Drops immediately for potential high-value items.


• Synergy: As you unlock more brawlers, the odds for gadgets/star powers increase. Avoid buying boxes with Gems; Brawl Pass is better value.

---

7. Cosmetics (Non-Gameplay Items)

Cosmetics do not affect gameplay but allow personalization. They can be purchased with Bling, Gems, or real money.

• When Useful: Cosmetics have no gameplay impact. Spend Bling on skins you like; save Gems for Brawl Pass.


• Synergy: Some skins are available for limited time (e.g., seasonal). Check the shop regularly.

8. Consumables & Boosters

These are temporary items that enhance your progression or provide utility outside matches.

(Note: Token Doublers were removed when the Brawl Pass XP system replaced tokens. Currently, only XP doublers exist.)

Final Tips

• Prioritize unlocking brawlers through Starr Road using Credits; it's more reliable than random boxes.


• Gears are endgame; buy only the ones you'll use (Damage, Shield, Health are most versatile).


• Always keep 2000 Coins in reserve for when you need to buy a Star Power or Gadget.


• Gems are best spent on Brawl Pass. Never on regular boxes.


• Hypercharge is powerful but expensive; focus on one brawler at a time.
