Matches
Matches are the most important in Brawl Stars. Thanks to them, you increase your rank, get rewards and experience points.
Remember that matches are, first of all, good entertainment. Practice, test different characters and different strategies. If you play every day and develop your skills, over time, you will become a master.
Boxes
The game has two types of boxes - Big boxes and Mega boxes. They contain the same rewards. The Boxes differ only in the number of rewards.
Boxes can be purchased in the microtransactions shop - for 30 and 80 coins.
Characters
In Brawl Stars, you can control one of the 27 available Brawlers. Each of them is unique in its own way. Each hero has a different weapon, super attack and star power. So every character brings some unique gameplay experience. You have to test all heroes by yourself, see which one is the best for you and learn how to adapt to a situation.
Each character can be developed to have more health and deal more damage. More information about this on How to develop heroes? page.
Trophies
Trophies are awarded or received based on the results in matches. Each of your Brawlers has their own trophy.
Remember that you can also lose trophies. The more you have them, the more you can lose. If you lose a match, you can lose your rank and some of the trophies.
