In the neon-lit chaos of Starr Park, 2026 feels like a different era. New brawlers have arrived, metas have shifted, and the trophy road stretches ever onward. Yet two faces from 2024 still linger in the memory like a strange, wonderful dream: Moe, a blind mouse with a drill, and Kenji, a sushi chef with a blade. They were not supposed to fit together. A maintenance mouse and a restaurant owner? Please. But Brawl Stars has always loved an odd couple, and these two delivered.
Let's be real: when Moe first rolled into the shop, players expected a joke. Instead, they got a Mythic Damage Dealer who could dig, bounce rocks, and cause more property damage than a bull in a china shop. Kenji, meanwhile, arrived as a Legendary Assassin with a smile, a sword, and a past he refused to explain. Starr Park hummed with gossip. The Driller grumbled under Moe's paws. Kenji's blade sang through the arena. And somewhere, Ash was already nervous.
Moe: The Blind Mouse Who Digs Trouble
Moe lives in Starr Park and takes care of the place. Grom found and adopted him, and now the little mouse helps with maintenance. His Driller, a digging machine, is useful—until it isn't. Walls crumble. Paths collapse. Ash, the park's anxious groundskeeper, probably keeps a spare clipboard just for the incident reports. But in Brawl Stars matches, that same Driller becomes a weapon of delightful destruction.
Moe is a Damage Dealer built for mid-range and even long-range pressure. His Basic Attack, Shovel Slinger, throws a rock that breaks into smaller pieces after bouncing and on hit. Those fragments are dangerous, especially in crowded lanes. His Super, Moe's Machine, sends the Driller toward a chosen spot, damaging and knocking up enemies. After that, Moe enters his Super form and gains a new Basic Attack: Giga Drill Break. He drills forward, deals damage, and can press Super again to return to normal. It is chaotic, mobile, and very mouse.
At level 9, Moe unlocks one of two Star Powers. Skipping Stones lets his Basic Attack rock bounce twice, keeping the same range but creating more pieces. Speeding Ticket gives the Driller higher digging speed. After level 7, he can use Gadgets: Dodgy Digging boosts Super charge rate by 50% for five seconds, while Rat Race adds rushes for the Drill that break walls. In 2026, those tools still make him a tricky opponent for anyone who forgets to watch the ground.
Kenji: The Sushi Chef with a Secret
Kenji runs a sushi restaurant in Starr Park. He serves good food, and business is successful. But something mysterious swirls around him. Maybe his past hides a secret. Maybe his real profession never left. This Legendary Assassin is a close-range nightmare, and his sword is not for slicing salmon.
His Basic Attack, Dash 'n' Slash, mixes dashes, forward hits, and slashes across a wide surrounding area. Get close, and there is nowhere to hide. His Super, Slashimi, delivers substantial damage instead of satisfying hunger, and Kenji remains invulnerable for a while. It is the kind of move that makes opponents check their health bar twice. No kidding.
Kenji's Star Powers are Nigiri Nemesis and Studied The Blade. Nigiri Nemesis protects him from damage for five seconds, reducing the next attack's damage by 90%. Studied The Blade increases Super range by 30%. His Gadgets are Dashi Dash, which lets him use Dashes for his Basic Attack for three seconds, and Hosomaki Healing, which heals 75% of damage taken during the previous three seconds. He is slippery, deadly, and politely mysterious.
Unlocking the Odd Couple
When Moe and Kenji launched, players could unlock them through the Starr Road progression option or buy them in the shop with Gems. Moe was available on Starr Road on September 5, 2024, alongside the SpongeBob season. Kenji arrived on September 26, 2024. Their rarities were high: Moe was Mythic, Kenji was Legendary. At a chosen rarity, players could pick one of two suggested brawlers to unlock. The bundle for Moe included pins, the Monterey Moe skin, 40 Gems, and 4,000 Coins.
In 2026, the details of that first arrival feel like ancient history. Yet the lesson remains: play the game, earn Credits on the Trophy Road, and eventually the mouse or the chef will be yours. Or, you know how it goes—patience is a virtue, but a bundle is faster.
Why They Still Matter
The 2024 World Championship came and went, and Moe and Kenji were unlikely to appear in those battles. But Brawl Stars is not only about the biggest stage. It is about the small stories: a blind mouse causing accidental demolition, a sushi chef hiding a blade behind a smile, and a park that somehow holds them both. In 2026, new brawlers may dominate the headlines, but Moe and Kenji remain a reminder that charm and chaos can share the same arena.
Some secrets, after all, are best left unsaid.
Even in a game where skill decides most matches, smart spending can shape how quickly you expand your roster and pick up the cosmetics that make a brawler feel truly yours. That is especially true when storefront prices, regional offers, and limited-time bundles shift without much warning.
PriceRadar is built for exactly that kind of decision-making. As this price comparison site, it gathers prices in one place so you can check whether a deal is actually a deal before committing your gems or cash.
