How to Fix Connection Problems in Brawl Stars

This tutorial is a how-to guide to fix connection problems in Brawl Stars.

Brawl Stars has redefined mobile gaming, and so far, gamers have been thrilled with the story-play, as well as the sublime graphical interface of the game. However, one area that has generated so many negative reviews is the recurrent connection errors.

Hence, in an attempt to find a lasting solution to this issue, we’ll be bringing you a couple of fixes to resolve the issue.

Fix: Connection Problems in Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars requires strong internet connection to function properly, and where/when such is unavailable (or where the internet connection is unstable), you are bound to encounter connection error.

To fix this, there are two basic solutions, both of which have been described below.

Fix 1: Troubleshoot Internet Connection

If your location and the surrounding areas generally have weak internet signal, maybe due to the topography or distance from the mast, you are likely to encounter this connection error quite often. In this case, there is little you can do, except to change to an ISP with strong internet signal.

However, in the event that there is strong internet signal on your smartphone, and you still encounter these connection problems, the problem could be from your phone’s internet network. In this case, you can try and troubleshoot the internet connection, as described below:

  • Exit Brawl Stars and disable internet connection.
  • Restart your phone or set it to Airplane mode (for some minutes).
  • After your phone has rebooted or after you’ve disabled Airplane mode, reconnect to the internet.
  • Launch Brawl Stars again.
  • Check if the connection problem is fixed.

If the error persists, you can try the next fix.

Fix 2: Play via an Android Emulator on PC

As a Brawl Stars enthusiast, the recurring connection error could be a little frustrating. Hence, you can install an Android emulator on your PC, and ensure the PC is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network. This offers better internet connectivity and you should now be able to enjoy the game unhindered.

If the connection problem still occurs, and you are able to access other apps and browse just fine, don’t fret; the problem is probably from Brawl Stars’ server, which, as gathered, is still unstable.

Brawl Stars: Tips & Tricks for Beginners

Brawl Stars, from Supercell, is filled with thrilling and exciting scenes, and as a gamer, nothing beats that. However, with up to seven game modes to unlock, beginners often find the game a bit tricky. Hence, to get you started and further aid your progress down the line, we have come up with a set of tips and tricks.

Tips and Tricks for Beginners on Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars has a total of seven game modes; however, as a beginner, the first three modes – Gen Grab, Showdown and Heist – should be your priority, as you’d be required to get past these modes to unlock the advanced ones.

Basically, these tips center around which brawlers to choose (out of 24 brawlers), which mode to play, and how to earn and use gems/trophies/elixir among others.

These beginner’s tips and tricks are as follow:

  • Rotate brawlers in the Gem Grab mode to earn more points and trophies.
  • Aim once and shoot instantly.
  • Use bush covers and other obstacles to hide from enemies.
  • Do not stay under one cover for long; you’d get exposed if you do.
  • DO NOT play the Showdown mode until you’ve earned yourself enough points, trophies and brawlers.
  • Ensure you visit the gift shop regularly to check for points, offers and boxes.
  • Switch characters inbetween modes.
  • Obtain a Supercell ID and connect it to the game to get special offers – brawler Barley and Barley skin.
  • Save star tokens and elixir for the later stages, where you really need them.
  • Retreat when necessary.
  • Upgrade characters by purchasing brawler boxes.
  • Ensure the brawler with most crystals/gems is protected by all means possible.
  • Shoot into bushes randomly; enemy brawlers often hide therein.
  • Avoid enemy brawlers with tanks; do not engage them alone.
  • Ensure you take out “Poco” (enemy healer) as soon as you can.
  • Engage enemy targets as a team; do not break off brawlers during engagements.
  • Blow up barrels and TNTs to maximize damage.
  • Use Brocks to attack long range targets.
  • Attack weak enemy brawlers with few potions.
  • And lots more.

The above tips, though somewhat basic, would aid your progress (as a beginner) towards unlocking the advanced modes. Also, you’d be able to earn as many points/trophies as possible.

Brawl Stars: Top 3 Brawlers for New Players

One of the trickiest choices new players have to make is “which brawlers to select” for the first three stages. Basically, out of the available 24 brawlers, you need a flock of suitable brawlers for Gem Grab (level 1), Showdown (level 2) and Heist (level 3).

Therefore, in this guide, we’ll be showing you the top 3 brawlers for new players on Brawl Stars.

Top 3 Brawlers for Beginners in Brawl Stars

If you are a new player on Brawl Stars, you might want to select the below-listed brawlers to further improve your chances of earning more points and unlocking/progressing to the advanced levels.

  1. El Primo

El Primo is, without doubt, one of the most important brawlers in Brawl Stars, and you’d be needing his skills/qualities and attributes from the very first stage – Gem Grab. This brawler is characterized by significant amount of health, which makes him ideal for the Gem Grab mode and other modes.

El Primo, however, is not suitable for the Heist stage (level 3), as the the “Ranged units” at the level would easily defeat him. This would significantly impede your progress.

In a nutshell, El Primo is quite easy to acquire, master and put to use. And if properly deployed, it can cause irreparable damage to enemy brawlers, especially at the Gem Grab level. Consequently, your progress is sped up.

  1. Barley

Barley is best suited for the Heist and Gem Grab levels. His crowd-controlling ability is what makes him stand out, and his ability to deal “AoE” (area of effect) damage, which destroys enemy brawlers in flocks, makes him a champion.

Barley is a “terror”, which enemy brawlers hate to face, and having him on your side would be to your advantage, especially at the Gem Grab level, as well as the Heist level.

  1. Shelley

Looking to speed up your progress in Brawl Stars? You definitely need Shelley! Though, she’s a little short in terms of ranging, she can cause a lot of damage, if she’s able to get close to the enemy. Furthermore, she’s fast and has moderate health; hence, she’s a good team member, who is needed in virtually all modes/levels.

Note: The brawlers above are mainly needed in the early stages. As you unlock more levels, more and better brawlers are unlocked for you.

New Major Update for Brawl Stars – New Skins and Brawlers

Supercell has been playing a little with our patience, and from time to time, teasers have appeared for the famous multiplayer game Brawl Stars. Most of the talks have been on Twitter, and the new game mode has been teased as well. The teaser has been saying that a new brawler will join the club and Retroplis as well. But the wait has come to an end, so we can say at least that we have the update in question. The update for Brawl Stars it’s rolling out to all users, so let’s take a look at it.

Brawl Stars

Brawl Stars is a free multiplayer mobile game, an arena/fighter/party game, developed and published by Supercell, and released in 2018. The purpose of the game is to collect brawlers and use each one of them in the game. You can also join clubs to play with other players, or you can create your own club. In the game, you will have Brawl Boxes that contain loot chests, coins, brawlers, and Power Points. Each Brawler has a primary attack and a Super attack, and an unlockable passive ability. You have to bring down your opponents by shooting them and defeating them.

Latest Update for Brawl Stars

  1. The New Brawler – BIBI

As we have mentioned above, a new Brawler has been teased by Supercell in the last update of the game. The new Brawler’s name is BIBI, and it has three attacks. BIBI has a super attack called Spitball that uses a bouncing ball of bubble gum, and it can give damage to enemies when they are hit multiple times. Also, the main attack is the Three Strikes which knocks back her enemies when she has the Home Run bar charged. And the last one, BIBI’s star power is Home Run, which is increasing speed movement only when her Home Run is charged fully.

  1. The New Event – Retropolis

New update we have, a new event we receive. With the Retropolis event, you will receive new menu music, a unique neon style for the menu background, and new in-game music.

  1. New Skins

The new skins that come with this update are the Hot Rod Brock, the Road Rage Carl, the Bake Sale Barley, and the Maple Barley.

Balance Changes with the New Update

  1. Rosa – in this new update, Rosa is taking some changes such as the super duration that has been decreased from 4/0 seconds to 3/0 seconds. Also, its Star power has been reduced too, from 300 per seconds to 200 per seconds. For charging up Rosa fully, you need to give ten hits now instead of nine hits. The main attack will now match the area where the damage was done.
  2. Frank – good news for Frank, it’s buffed, and you can Super stun the Siege bar again, and you have the full duration.
  3. Carl- just like Frank, Carl has been buffed. Now you can pre-aim with his initial attack while using Carl’s Super. The cooldown time for the main attack is much shorter now.
  4. This last update can come without changes to the map. You will see that the map has been changed to match the Retropolis theme. Also, a reminder of the maps that have been added in the latest update – Gem Grab-Cross Cut, Heist-Pit Stop, and Side Story.
  5. Rosa has received a new voice cover.
  6. A new option in the game is the in-game mail. The Leaders & co-leaders can now mail to Club members.
  7. Supercell ID 2.0 will be added to the game next week.
