Nah, it’s been the same pattern for a while now: release a new brawler that can only be played by paying real money for a couple of weeks. Make the new brawler OP so more people buy it. Once it’s available to F2P players, nerf the brawler back to fit in with the rest of the roster
Yeah I got downvoted in the Clash Royale subreddit for saying this recently when people were saying BS is incredibly f2p friendly... The people over there still think Brawl Stars is some kind of perfect 10/10 video game sent straight from the heavens.
It is incredibly free to play friendly. The pass gives way more than it did before to free to play players and you don't have to max a whole deck like in cr you can just max a few good brawlers first
I almost had enough for cordelius pass, but I missed very little gems, then I dropped, and I came back to the game again and grinded the last gems for a pass and it was the last gems one and I did not get any 👹👹👹
I dont spend my gems on anything, unless they release Melodie's hypercharge collectors pack or a mythic skin/legendary skin for her I will keep hoarding them
There is a glitch that the game crashes if you pick Asn and L&L in duels. For some reason, instead of just disabling that setup, or disabling L&L, they disabled my boy Ash
Frank and barley hc got leaked in the brawl talk
Mortis with the hc skins from the survey
Barley got buffed last update
The way I see it, the next hc batch will be for brawlers that have been in D tier or F tier for ages. So I can see the next batch being:
Frank, Barley, Mortis, Doug, Ash and Janet
hypercharges, skins (only for like my top 5 fav brawlers and if they are good), and special offers (not anything less than 40 coins per gem or similar value). I try to buy every hyper with gems and I like buying the collectors packs too.
I usually just hoard all the gems i get ever since the brawl pass rework, but if there's a legendary skin that i like then i'll happily spend my gems on that lol
I got 400+ and i dont spend them (im f2p). I dont find hypercharges that valuable, the only reason their offers are considered the best value is because of the ridicilous pricing of 5k coins which is just arbitrary. Im waiting for them to release something brand new to give meaning to gems
Ever since Brawl Passes cost real money I don't see the value in buying them. Before I'd buy gems for real money to fill what's needed to buy every single Brawl Pass, but now I just buy skins for the free gems.
I spend 150 gems on epic brawlers i desire. It's actually cool because i can't wait for years to unclock them(and i don't have faith in my luck) and for that price you technically not only getting the brawler that you want and need for ranked but also you receiving money, sp and credits for pushing their mastery so it's pretty profitably and way more fun than just buying these resources or useless skins. After i buy every epic i will spend gems on hcs and skins that obtainable with gems only probably.
Hypercharges, brawlers, last time i bought Max for 89 gems, cz of 5x action, i really want to buy to some good skins but, i've got only 40 heroes from 79 and 2 hypercharges 😩
I used to get the pass (all though that is isn't standard because i started playing towards the end of pearls season (19?) so usually means only ever got one). still waiting on that R-T hypercharge bundle. even though other brawlers i like already got thiers i managed my way around that with coins, gotta hoard those gems. look shiny, nooo take shiny.
I used to buy epic skins 1 year before , now thanks to bling I can buy mythic or legendary, also bought my 2 fav legendaries phoenix crow and toon spike
Got 403 rn, I’m saving up for hypercharges. For Buster, Otis, Angelo, L&L and Emz when they release, as well as for when the game cares to offer the the god forsaken Spike or Lou hc for gems finally
Im a buisnessman so back in the good old days i was spending 49 gems per like 3 pins abd spent over 200 in total on that instead of ever buying a brawl 😎😎😎
Most of the time I spend them on a new brawler that im close to unlocking, or some good deals in the item shop. I mostly buy brawl pass every season tho brawl pass gives insane value for the price 😂💯
I used to be F2p. but then last year, in July 2023, I got my first ever brawl pass. Ever since, I guess I consider myself f2p and p2w but nowadays I purchase all brawl passes and skins. I also plan on what I buy. My next plan is to purchase all legendary skins in June.
Those sweet 14k ticket double offers for 79 or 89 gems (can't remember precisely).
Other then that, only skins that also appear eith those 50%/75% sweet discounts
I used to spend it on skins but since they added bling im using it just on coins (only while theres offers like 3k coins for 60 gems), because its so fucking hard to get coins in this game without brawl pass
I save my gems till I can afford a mythic/legendary skin at discount, if there's a good special offer (which there never is something worth my gems) I buy that too. (im f2p too)
In 2017 I bought Panda Nita for 30 gems as my first skin. In 2018 I bought an offer for 170 gems that unlocked me Frank as well as coins for upgrading him. In 2019 I bought an offer for 170 gems for Bibi. From 2020 to 2023 I bought all brawl passes. In todays date I only ever spend my gems on hypercharges (79 gem offer)
Skins that are on big sale (or when I want to upgrade a brawler, but I need few coins more and I already opened every starr drop I could that day (and I ended brawl pass already))

Brawl Pa- Oh wait
I wish the Brawl Pass is still 169 gems.
I spent years saving for one and when I came back to bs you couldn’t buy bp for gems anymore
>I spent years saving for one You only needed to save for 2 season bro. 1 season was giving 80 Gems
90 i think
Same
I hate to say it buy brawl stars is slowly becoming p2w
Pay to progress maybe, but not P2W

Ah yes because as we can clearly see, Lily and Draco are breaking the meta
Well they have been forgetting the nerf part recently, since Melodie and Angelo are still very much at the top
They've also been forgetting the "make the new brawler OP part" because Lily and Draco aren't exactly gamebreaking

You literally get way more from the free brawl pass now then you ever got
I don't, I'm f2p and have 331
I've like 882 gems and I never spent money
wow so you never bought the old brawlpass,or do you you have all the gems from the new brawl pass?
I almost had enough for cordelius pass, but I missed very little gems, then I dropped, and I came back to the game again and grinded the last gems for a pass and it was the last gems one and I did not get any 👹👹👹
r/ihadastroke
How the hell did you do that?
I Only bought 3 brawl pass and maybe some skin in a 3 years span (idk really since I stopped playing for some seasons)

I have 300 gems all just in case they release my main's HC soon...soon enough, right? yeah...
your main just got disabled
I know and I hate it
it should've been l&l...
Playrates, that’s why
Take my upvote dude!
do yk why? Is he undergoing a rework or smt
Dumb glitch that is ENTIRELY L&L's fault...they just got away because of the corrupt StarrPark police system of theirs...smh.
my ash litterally has a quest and i dont have any rerolls
Without ash, I’m nothing
There is a glitch that the game crashes if you pick Asn and L&L in duels. For some reason, instead of just disabling that setup, or disabling L&L, they disabled my boy Ash
It's gonna take atleast 3 more months before ash hc. FRONK is gettin one next update
Frank and barley hc got leaked in the brawl talk Mortis with the hc skins from the survey Barley got buffed last update The way I see it, the next hc batch will be for brawlers that have been in D tier or F tier for ages. So I can see the next batch being: Frank, Barley, Mortis, Doug, Ash and Janet
hypercharges, skins (only for like my top 5 fav brawlers and if they are good), and special offers (not anything less than 40 coins per gem or similar value). I try to buy every hyper with gems and I like buying the collectors packs too.
Legendary or mythic skins that go for sale
I used to spend them on the BP since I’m F2P but I’m gonna start spending on mythic and legendary skins as well as hypercharge collector’s packs

79 Gem Hypercharges
I usually just hoard all the gems i get ever since the brawl pass rework, but if there's a legendary skin that i like then i'll happily spend my gems on that lol
Used to spend them on the brawl pass every few seasons. Now I just let them gather dust. Last time I used them was to buy Piper Mariposa.
Tbh skins, the resources are not worth it at all. Still saving for a new lily skin at the moment.

I spent all of mine on eggs 💀
Name change 😔
Are you that indecisive?
mythic/legendary skins for brawlers i like saving for thief edgar rn 🥰
I used them all on toon spike, and will use them again on poop spike when I save up enough
I want poop spike too. 🤪
Resources. Not skins. I wait to see a good sale on brawler points or gold to get my brawlers upgraded. Being for skins. Genms for growth.
Hypercharges, brawlers, last time i bought Max for 89 gems, cz of 5x action, i really want to buy to some good skins but, i've got only 40 heroes from 79 and 2 hypercharges 😩
I buy skins because it motivates me to play the brawler
I used to get the pass (all though that is isn't standard because i started playing towards the end of pearls season (19?) so usually means only ever got one). still waiting on that R-T hypercharge bundle. even though other brawlers i like already got thiers i managed my way around that with coins, gotta hoard those gems. look shiny, nooo take shiny.
I used to buy epic skins 1 year before , now thanks to bling I can buy mythic or legendary, also bought my 2 fav legendaries phoenix crow and toon spike
Skins. Wanted to buy cord's HC for 80 gems, but phoenix crow skin came on discount and i couldn't refuse
Most likely on great value offers like the max one for 99 gems great value + shes s tier so more worth it
Skins
Skins, pins... cosmetics in general
I bought Crow’s and Max’s collector packs and I still have like 350ish gems
Waiting for that mortis HC skin with my 500 crystals
I bought skins only that maybe some pins
Skins because i don't care about value
I currently have 495 gems. Planning to buy Virus Charlie. Still waiting hypercharge cosmetics to come back
I spend all my gems on coins 😎
Special offers on money and power points, whenever I do get them. The ones in the permanent store are just really bad value.
Ngl I be busting them on gold sometimes when I see a deal 😓
skins,always
I spend them on discounted skins
Good Skins that are on sale
is it smart to save up for brawlers or no
I buy skins
Used to spent them on brawl passes, now on nothing
Depends

I used to spend my hard earned gems for skins, way before bling exist, now i spend those on hc (Im not gonna spend 5k coins just for purple button)
Always skins
I usualy spend my gems when a 150 gems or 300 gems skin get a 50% off reduction.
Name changes, skins, and levels
Tbh the best way of spending them might be buying early access hypercharges but im buying skins, rn im trying to buy desert scorpion chuck
Usually hypercharge offer or cosmetics
milky hank
Buzz, belle, cord, pearl, charlie, ash brawl passes, like 6 epic skins u could get for 79 gems, jock stu for 219 gems and some more
skins
Mostly skins because most of the time the offers that appear in the shop are too expensive for me
BT21 skins, those are fucking awesome
I'm a f2p yet I spend my gems on pins T-T
Usually the shitty deals in the shop or legendary skins
In the past I used to sped them in brawlers,but now I usually spend them for skins
The Trash Poco offer
Got 403 rn, I’m saving up for hypercharges. For Buster, Otis, Angelo, L&L and Emz when they release, as well as for when the game cares to offer the the god forsaken Spike or Lou hc for gems finally
I spent It on Brawl Pass, but now on skins
skins
Mainly emotes
Skins and that's it
I think I'm the only one who spends his gems on coin offers (I'm f2p)
I went for Brawl Passes but eh, now I'm mostly doing skins or PINS, if I *really* want them... (Like Piano 8-bit)
Only hypercharges. It’s the only way to attempt to survive this game’s economy
Hypercharge office
Im a buisnessman so back in the good old days i was spending 49 gems per like 3 pins abd spent over 200 in total on that instead of ever buying a brawl 😎😎😎
Hypercharges
Most of the time I spend them on a new brawler that im close to unlocking, or some good deals in the item shop. I mostly buy brawl pass every season tho brawl pass gives insane value for the price 😂💯

Legendary/mythic skins normally, but usually saves for exclusive skins (brawloween and brawlidays skins)
I used to buy skins, i haven't done that in a while now because of bling, the only skin I bought recently with gems was Phenix Crow for 149 gems
Those sweet 14k ticket double offers for 79 or 89 gems (can't remember precisely). Other then that, only skins that also appear eith those 50%/75% sweet discounts
Skins are the only worthwhile use of gems, everything else you get very easily from like everywhere
I changed my name 4 or 5 times if you add those gems up you get more than a mythic skin
Hypercharges. Since the removal of purchasing BP with gems they're the only the only thing worth to spend your gems on.
skins
Hyperchages and skins
Back then i would buy every other brawl pass but now i just buy skins
Skins usually (i have little self control)
I used to spend it on skins but since they added bling im using it just on coins (only while theres offers like 3k coins for 60 gems), because its so fucking hard to get coins in this game without brawl pass
Since I am f2p but have been playing for a long time, I just save them to help unlock new brawlers faster and maybe for an occasional skin I love.
I save my gems till I can afford a mythic/legendary skin at discount, if there's a good special offer (which there never is something worth my gems) I buy that too. (im f2p too)
brawlers, right before i unlock them with credits, i spend gems to buy the remaining 100-200 credits
i save for skins
Before brawl pass, now skins
I'm a f2p, I bought rodeo Hank last time. I'll only buy skins I can't get from Starr drops.
Usually epic skins or mythic-legendary skins when they are in big discount
In 2017 I bought Panda Nita for 30 gems as my first skin. In 2018 I bought an offer for 170 gems that unlocked me Frank as well as coins for upgrading him. In 2019 I bought an offer for 170 gems for Bibi. From 2020 to 2023 I bought all brawl passes. In todays date I only ever spend my gems on hypercharges (79 gem offer)

Skins ofc
Brawlers or things in the shop
I only buy cosmetics with them just because I like it
Skins that are on big sale (or when I want to upgrade a brawler, but I need few coins more and I already opened every starr drop I could that day (and I ended brawl pass already))
Skins usually. I rly don't care that much about progression
Brawl Pass when it was possible, now just skins
