Brawl Stars’ Classic Event is a love letter to the game’s earliest days, dusting off old modes and dangling Mega Boxes in front of players like shiny relics. It brings back a smaller, simpler battlefield: only the original 21 brawlers are available, everyone is capped at level 9, and Hypercharge abilities plus Gadgets are left at the door. The only tool a brawler carries is its first Star Power, which makes each match feel like a time capsule. For collectors, the biggest prize is the Sovereign Rico Hypercharge Skin, and every Mega Box nudges players closer to it.

The event’s progression loop is simple: earn Star Tokens from first wins, collect a free Mega Box from the Shop, or buy boxes with Gems. The grind is friendly, but players who want the Hypercharge skin without spending Gems need to be consistent. The main window runs from July 12th to July 31st, while the big bundle offers are available from July 12th to July 15th.

How the Classic Event Works

The Classic Event is not a normal Brawl Stars playlist. It is a curated throwback that limits the roster to the original 21 brawlers. Every brawler is locked at level 9, which removes Hypercharge abilities and Gadgets from the equation. The only extra ability available is the brawler’s original Star Power. That restriction makes old matchups feel fresh again, and it also keeps the focus on fundamentals.

Players can spot the returning Classic Modes by the Star Token icon on the bottom left corner of a mode when selecting a match. The icon looks like a gear with a star inside and wings behind it. Winning in those modes grants a Star Token, and the new Drum Roll mode also rewards a Star Token after a victory.

Ways to Earn Mega Boxes

There are three main paths to Mega Boxes during the Classic Event:

• Free Shop Box: Players receive a free Mega Box when they log into the game’s Shop menu.

• Star Tokens: Collecting a set amount of Star Tokens unlocks new Mega Boxes. This is the most reliable route for free-to-play players.

• Gem purchases: Players can buy Mega Boxes directly in the Shop.

1. Collect Star Tokens

Star Tokens are the engine of the Classic Event. Each day, the available modes reset, which means players can earn more Star Tokens throughout the event. The key is simple: win a match in a mode with the Star Token icon. The first win in each returning Classic Mode grants a Star Token, and Drum Roll follows the same rule.

Players who started early and earn the maximum amount of Star Tokens per day are sitting pretty. That steady daily grind should be enough to unlock the Hypercharge Rico Skin before the event ends. There is no need to overcomplicate it, but consistency matters more than a single long session.

2. Free Shop Box

The freebie is easy to overlook, but it should never be ignored. A free Mega Box sits in the Shop menu, waiting to be claimed. It may not feel like much, but it counts toward the total needed for the Sovereign Rico Hypercharge Skin.

3. Purchase Mega Boxes with Gems

For players who want to speed things up, the Shop has two different categories of Mega Boxes.

Mega Box Value Pack: Every day for 20 days, players can buy 2 Mega Boxes per day for 79 Gems. The catch is that they must wait for the next day to purchase the next set of boxes. For example, if a player is on Day 2, the Day 3 boxes are not available until Day 3.

Mega Box Bundles: During a short opening window, players can purchase bigger bundles at the cost of Gems.

Bundle	Gem Cost
5 Mega Boxes	199 Gems
10 Mega Boxes	399 Gems
20 Mega Boxes	499 Gems

These bundles are best for players who want to make a big leap toward the Hypercharge skin without waiting on daily resets.

Mega Box Rewards

Mega Boxes in the Classic Event offer a mix of rewards, including Coins, Power Points, XP Doublers, Bling, and other goodies. The amount players receive can vary from box to box, so the drop table has a bit of personality. A big pull feels great, but even smaller rewards add up over the course of the event.

How to Unlock Sovereign Rico Hypercharge Skin

The Sovereign Rico Hypercharge Skin is the crown jewel of the Classic Event. To unlock it, players must collect 10 total Mega Boxes. The method does not matter. A player can combine free Star Token boxes, the free Shop box, and Gem purchases, and every single Mega Box counts toward that 10-box goal.

A Hypercharge skin is more than a simple recolor. It adds cool cosmetic effects when a brawler uses its Hypercharge ability. Rico’s Hypercharge, Trick Shot King, makes his Super projectile bounce much farther. With a strong set of Gadgets and Star Powers, Rico remains a favorite in the meta, and the Sovereign skin gives that bouncing menace an extra layer of style.

Tips for the Classic Event Grind

• Log in daily to claim the free Shop box.

• Prioritize first wins in Star Token modes before trying other playlists.

• Revisit Drum Roll and the old Classic Modes to keep the Star Token count climbing.

• If spending Gems, decide early between the daily Value Pack and the limited bundles.

• Do not sleep on the level 9 cap. Without Gadgets and Hypercharge abilities, positioning and Star Power timing matter more.

Overall, the Classic Event turns back the clock without making the reward chase feel dated. The Mega Box grind is transparent, the free-to-play path is viable, and the Sovereign Rico Hypercharge Skin gives players a clear target. By stacking Star Tokens, claiming the free box, and choosing the right Gem packs, players can unlock the skin and enjoy a proper trip through Brawl Stars’ past.
