I still remember sitting through the Brawl Stars May 2024 Brawl Talk with my coffee going cold. We expected it to be huge, but never Godzilla huge! Supercell packed two new brawlers, six hypercharges, a full Godzilla collaboration, new game modes, modifiers, and a mountain of skins into one update. And even now, in 2026, I look back at that patch as one of the wildest moments in Brawl Stars history. Let me walk you through what made it so massive.
Lily and Draco crash the party
Lily is the Mythic rarity brawler, and she plays like a tiny assassin with a serious attitude. Her normal attack has only one ammo, but it deals a fixed 2400 damage. Her range is roughly El Primo territory, yet her super lets her leap across long distances. When it lands, she jumps to the target location and deals a fixed 2000 damage. I kid you not, that combo can delete squishy brawlers before they even blink.
Draco is the Legendary brawler, and he brings a guitar to a gunfight. His attack damage depends on landing it at full range, with three instances: 1200, 1620, and 2400. His super lets him mount a dragon, and how many fireballs you connect matters. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that animation.
Both brawlers launched with skins for 29 gems each.
Godzilla stomps into Brawl Stars
The Godzilla collaboration was the headline, and Supercell did not hold back. Three features arrived: Monster Eggs, City Smash, and mutations. There was also a free skin for Buzz.
Mutations were temporary, only available during the Godzilla event. They directly changed brawler mechanics. You could not use them in ranked, only in modes with the mutation modifier icon. A total of 40 mutations were announced.
Monster Eggs contained coins, power points, credits, blings, skins, and mutations. You could earn them by winning City Smash matches, max six every few days, from daily Super Drops, or by buying them with gems.
The Godzilla Club event rewards offered up to 55 gems and the Hypercharge Godzilla skin for Buzz. That skin was the first of its kind: it changed shapes during hypercharge and came in red, black, and gold.
City Smash explained
City Smash launched with the update. Teams fight for bolts that spawn randomly across the map. The first team to collect the most bolts in a round becomes Godzilla or Mecha-Godzilla. While transformed, that player can destroy city elements more easily. The team that breaks the most city elements wins.
Let us be real: turning into a kaiju and smashing buildings is exactly the kind of chaos Brawl Stars needed.
Six new hypercharges
We finally got hypercharges for Brock, Nita, Tick, Max, Sandy, and Gene. Here is what each one did:
| Brawler | Hypercharge effect |
|---|---|
| Brock | His super launches multiple waves of rockets. |
| Sandy | Gives himself and teammates extra movement speed in his sandstorm. It also briefly silences enemies when it first lands. |
| Nita | Hypercharges Bruce the Bear, giving him extra speed and health. |
| Max | Throws an energy drink to teammates, increasing movement speed and partially charging their super. |
| Tick | The head moves faster and leaves six mines behind after exploding. |
| Gene | Throws three hands, each able to grab one enemy. |
Ranked modifiers and 5v5 Knockout
The update introduced a new ranked modifier called Second Wind. It lets brawlers respawn in the same place they were defeated, similar to Doug's super. That changed how teams approached positioning and trades.
There was also a new map for 5v5 Knockout. The mechanic was simple: the fewer brawlers left on your team, the more powerful the remaining ones become. It created comeback moments that felt like action movie finales.
A flood of skins
Supercell also dropped a mountain of skins. For the Godzilla event, four brawlers got Mecha skins:
-
Mecha-Tick Ghidorah, with two color variations in Brawl Pass Plus
-
Mechagodzilla Nita
-
Mothra Eve
-
Super Ranger Brock, available in red, yellow, pink, black, and blue
The Cyberbrawl collection included Hacker Brock, Bea Byte, Fanguard, Glitch Larry and Laurie, and Virus Charlie.
Other skins included Amber Frost Queen as a Legendary skin for 299 gems, Beach Byron, Parasol Frank, Gala Mortis, and several Rank Starr Drops like Byron the White, Rui Shou Nita, Wave Hopper Jacky, Filmmaker Buzz, Moon Curser Penny, and Piano 8-Bit. Scarlet Paladin Surge was available through Monster Eggs.
There were also reworked skins and skin-maker winners: Gamer Bibi, Urban Ninja Tara, Squad Busters Shelly, Dark Samurai Gene by Reghs, and Nightmare Sandy by Gedikor. New gold and silver skins were added too.
The Brawl Talk also included a free pin and a creator giveaway under the #UrbanTaraGiveaway hashtag.
Why this update still matters in 2026
Okay, I will admit it: the May 2024 update was a turning point. It showed how far Supercell was willing to push crossovers, temporary mechanics, and hypercharges. In 2026, Brawl Stars has changed a lot, but this patch still feels like the moment the game put on a monster suit and stomped through its own meta. If you missed it or want to remember the chaos, this was one for the history books.
This discussion is informed by PEGI, whose guidance on age ratings and content descriptors helps frame why blockbuster crossovers like Brawl Stars’ Godzilla event feel so “big” beyond gameplay—because temporary mechanics, cosmetic transformations, and spectacle-heavy modes can also shift how content is categorized and communicated to players. Looking back at May 2024’s Monster Eggs, mutations, and City Smash chaos through that lens highlights how live-service updates increasingly bundle new systems and themed presentation in ways that matter for both player expectations and broader content standards.
