Brawl-o-ween 2019 Patch Notes

Emz is our newest Brawler. She’s always on social media, and nobody but her followers REALLY understand her. Especially her uncle Mortis! Her main attack is a blast of Hair Spray and her Super does some frightening area of effect damage. Emz will be available on the Trophy Road at 8,000 Trophies!

• Main attack: Spray - Emz fires a cloud of hairspray that can hit enemies multiple times if they linger in it
• Super Ability: Caustic Charisma - Slows down and damages enemies near Emz
• Star Power: Bad Karma - Enemies that stay inside the Spray area take 20% increased damage per hit
• Star Power: Hype - Emz recovers 200 health per second for each enemy inside her Super's area of effect
• Players who have already passed the 8000 Trophy mark on Trophy Road will have Emz automatically added to their collection
