As October approaches in 2025, Brawl Stars fans are getting ready for the spookiest time of the year - Brawloween! This annual Halloween-themed event brings some of the most creative and haunting character designs to the game. If you're looking to dominate this season with the perfect Brawloween character, you've come to the right place. Just me and you, exploring the best options for this year's event!

What's New for Brawloween 2025?

This year's Brawloween is starting earlier than usual, with Supercell launching a dedicated event where players can collect Candy for rewards and test their skills against terrifying bosses from a dark, unknown dimension. The event will run throughout October with special game modes, skins, and challenges.

The highlight of this year's event is the introduction of new Brawloween-themed characters and skins that will give you the creeps - in the best way possible!

Top Brawloween Characters to Play

Plague Doctor Crow

The star of this year's Brawloween lineup is Plague Doctor Crow, available through the Brawl Pass. This haunting rendition of Crow features:

• High mobility and poison-based attacks

• Two amazing Chroma variants: Death's Door Crow and Old Hunter Crow

• Unique voice lines and effects that create an eerie atmosphere

Crow's mobility makes him perfect for hit-and-run tactics during the Brawloween events, and his poison damage over time can be devastating against the special bosses.

Headless Tickman

This Legendary skin transforms Tick into a nightmare-inducing character that can:

• Summon explosive minions for area control

• Create chaos in tight spaces during Brawloween modes

• Intimidate opponents with unique animations

The Headless Tickman is particularly effective in the Boss Mode, where area control becomes crucial for survival.

Ghost Diver Rico

A Mythic skin that turns Rico into an underwater specter with:

• Bullet hell capabilities

• Ghostly projectiles that create visual confusion

• Perfect for controlling lanes in objective-based modes

As one player told me last week, "Playing against Ghost Diver Rico in a dark Brawloween map is like trying to dodge raindrops in a thunderstorm - nearly impossible!"

Brawloween Boss Mode

The highlight of this year's event is the Brawloween Boss Mode, where you'll face increasingly difficult bosses across multiple stages. Each victory rewards you with Candy that can be exchanged for rewards.

You'll face these terrifying opponents:

1. Plague Doctor Crow

2. Headless Tickman

3. Carreta Spike

4. Kizu Kenji

5. Gargoyle R-T

6. Ghost Diver Rico

Each boss has unique abilities and requires different strategies to defeat. For example, when facing Kizu Kenji, watch out for his ability to summon a powerful Mega Kenji clone that can quickly overwhelm unprepared teams.

Collecting Candy & Sugar Rush

During the event, you'll collect Candy through:

• Daily wins

• Special Quests

• Defeating Brawloween Bosses

The Candy can be exchanged for:

• Pumpkin Boxes (instant rewards)

• Treat Boxes (can be upgraded for better rewards later)

On select weekends, you can activate Sugar Rush once daily from the game mode screen. This gives you bonus Candy on wins for 10 minutes - a perfect opportunity to maximize your rewards!

Pro Tips for Brawloween Success

1. Team Composition Matters: When facing Brawloween bosses, bring a balanced team with at least one tank, one damage dealer, and one support.

2. Save Your Supers: Most bosses have phases where they become vulnerable - that's when you want to unleash your Super for maximum damage.

3. Candy Efficiency: Focus on completing daily quests that reward Candy, and always activate Sugar Rush during weekend events when you have a strong team ready.

4. Boss Counters: Certain characters excel against specific bosses. For example, Kizu Kenji is vulnerable to area damage, making Barley or Dynamike good choices.

5. Practice Makes Perfect: The Mirror Match Showdown event lets everyone play as the new Brawler with max level - use this to get comfortable with new mechanics.

As one veteran player put it, "Brawloween isn't just about the spooky skins - it's about adapting to the unique mechanics and making the most of limited-time rewards!"

Beyond Brawloween: What's Next?

While Brawloween is the focus right now, Supercell has already teased upcoming content for late 2025, including:

• New Hypercharges for Ollie, Byron, and other Brawlers

• Balance changes to improve underperforming characters like Bibi and Otis

• Trophy Road expansions with new areas like Ranger Ranch and Mike's Mines

The game continues to evolve, but for now, it's time to embrace the spooky season and make the most of these limited-time Brawloween characters!

So grab your favorite Brawloween character, team up with friends, and dive into the haunted world of Brawl Stars this October. Just me and you against the forces of darkness - what could be more fun?

Happy Brawloween, Brawlers!
