Brawl Stars March update brings much-awaited Clancy buffs while nerfing Najia

Brawl Stars has rolled out new balance changes as part of its latest update, released on March 31st.

With this patch, Supercell has buffed Clancy and Gigi while nerfing eight brawlers, including Najia, Crow, Bibi, and more.

Both Clancy and Gigi had seen declining pick rates, especially in higher ranks. As a result, Clancy’s HP has been significantly increased, its main attack spread has been reduced, and its range has been slightly improved.

Gigi has also received minor stat upgrades, with an increase to its Trait Super Charge and a reduced cooldown for the Disappearing Act gadget.

Coming to the nerfs, brawlers like Najia had become overly strong, especially after receiving buffs in March, resulting in most players asking for adjustments.

With the new Brawl Stars update, the damage of the first and second hits of its main attack has been significantly reduced.

Bull’s HP and Hypercharge have also been decreased, along with a significant increase in the Hypercharge damage falloff for its main attack. Other nerfed brawlers include Bibi, Bull, Glowy, and more.

Fans are most happy with the balance changes, especially for Clancy, as it appears the brawler has finally found its place in the meta.

“I think it's time for Clancy to get his revenge after being one of the worst brawlers for so long,” a user stated on X (Twitter).

That said, some fans argue that Najia’s nerfs are not enough and that the brawler is still very strong.

“Najia nerfs looked like they only tickled her feet,” a Reddit user expressed.

We believe Najia’s nerfs make it fairly balanced, and at the very least, they are a step in the right direction.
