Once you’ve played Brawl Stars for some time, this situation will feel all too familiar:

Tara hits you with her Super – a gravity well that sucks in all nearby enemies. But as you try to dodge it, a shadow charges towards you and smashes you to a pulp. Helplessly, you watch your gems scatter as the screams of your fellow brawlers fill your ears.

What is that shadow? Well, it’s no hallucination. You were hit by the Star Power of a level 10 brawler.

In Brawl Stars, each character has two exclusive Star Powers. Before going into battle, you may equip one of the two, which leads to another chance to strategise. One of Tara’s is Black Portal: when she unleashes the power, she summons a shadowy version of herself to rush her enemies. Her other power summons a shadow that helps heal herself and teammates. So, how do you get Star Powers and lay waste to your opponents?

During battle, the game will pit you against an opponent based on your brawler’s rank. (Because let’s face it, nobody wants to face a level 10 Shelly with a level 6 anybody.) We recommend that you focus on levelling up a single favourite brawler. That involves collecting a lot of Coins and Power Points, which aren’t easy to obtain.

When you reach level 9, you’ll still need to open more Brawl Boxes in the hopes to draw a Star Power and unlock your brawler's full potential.

Speed up your road to stardom

A Brawl Box costs 100 tokens to unlock. That may sound like a lot, but here are some tips to get you there fast:

  1. Every two hours, available Tokens increase by 20, up to 200. You can then earn these Tokens by playing in battles.
  2. Launch the game periodically to make sure no Tokens are left unearned. Also, you can earn 10 Tokens immediately with every game-mode update.
  3. You’re rewarded with 10 Tokens every time your character ranks up, and when you reach a new experience level.
  4. Use Event Tickets and Token Doubler before participating in weekend Events. Do well in the Event and you stand to receive up to 1,000 Tokens.

If you are really lucky, you can get up to 70 Coins and 25 Power Points per Brawl Box. The more Brawl Boxes you unlock, the better your chances are for reaching level 10 to unlock your brawler’s Star Power. Fighting with a level 10 brawler is a huge advantage, and all the hard work you put in to get there will be well worth it.
