So, taking advantage of the arrival of HalloweenSupercell has released EMZIt's a new brawler that follows the event's theme, in the style of mummy o zombie, and which features an attack of poisonous sprayThis attack deals incremental damage over time and lasts for just over a second, requiring careful management of distances and positioning to take full advantage of its potential.

What we can get with between 80 and 150 gems of Brawl Stars, depending on the model, are the new skins that have been released for other previously available brawlers: Leon, Jessy, Piper, Frank, and Shelly. However, the Jessy skin is the most differentiated from the rest, and especially because its cost is 10.000 star points, which places it in a much more exclusive appearance range.

One of the pillars of the update is the block of Bizarre CircusA sinister tent serves as the backdrop for several striking skins. The aim is to reinforce the somber yet festive tone, blending classic circus elements with a twisted aesthetic.
