New Brawlers - Buzz & Griff

Two Brawlers were introduced in the new Brawl Stars update, the first being Buzz.

Buzz is a chromatic brawler for the Jurassic Splash season and his main attack is known as 'Buzz Off'. This attack is a series of short-range attacks going from left to right. His super ability is the 'Torpedo Throw', allowing him to shoot his torpedo buoy and pull himself to the enemy or wall. Find out more about Buzz in the full patch notes.

Our second brawler in the new Jurassic Splash update is Griff, the boss of Colette and Edgar. Griff is able to toss 9 coins at his enemies, spreading out further as they go, this is Griff's main attack. He is also able to fire banknotes that return to his location after a brief duration, dealing damage when travelling both ways. This is Griff's super ability known as "Cashback".

Both of these brawlers were made available in the new Brawl Stars update released on June 16. Check out more about the new brawlers in the patch notes below!
