Brawl Stars Lunar New Year 2020 Patch Notes

The Brawl Stars Lunar New Year of 2020 celebration is now kicking off with a brand new patch! A new Brawler called, Mr. P has been added to the game. He can hurl luggage at his opponents that will pop in the air and drop back down to splash AOE damage. There's a new game mode called, Hot Zone! Hold a zone for 3 seconds to gain a point, the team with the most points at the end of 2 minutes wins! The best part, however, is that there's three great new skins (check them out here) to celebrate Lunar New Year for 8-Bit, Bibi, and Tara! Check out all of the patch notes below.

- Mr. P is a disgruntled luggage handler who angrily hurls suitcases at his opponents. His Super calls robotic porters to help him.

• Main Attack - Your Suitcase Sir! - Fires a projectile that can jump over walls and enemies dealing area damage behind them after landing
• Super Ability - P-Porters Attack! - Places a spawning station that spawns mini-penguins with a ranged attack. Only one mini penguin can be active at a time
• Star Power - Handle With Care - Mr. P’s overstuffed suitcases bounce and burst even if they don’t hit a target or obstacle
• Star Power - Tin Can - The robo-porters’ home base has +3000 more health

NEW GAME MODE - HOT ZONE!

• Hold a zone marked on the ground for 3 seconds to gain a point, the team with the most points in 2:00 wins!
